The best LLM optimization services are the six jobs that change what AI tools say about you, and the provider I rank first for running them together is Goldie Agency, which is my own agency, so I'm flagging that bias right now.

LLM optimisation, or LLMO, means getting your brand named, described correctly and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity for a recommendation.

Most people shop for "LLMO" as one product, but it's really six separate services, and you can buy, outsource or run each one yourself.

This is the operator version, so I'll show you what each service is, how to set it up, and which provider covers it.

If you'd rather have my team tell you which services you need first, book a free SEO strategy session and get a custom AI visibility plan.

Here's my ranking of the providers in one table, with my own agency at number one.

Rank Provider Best for
1 Goldie Agency (mine) Running citation building, content and links as one service
2 Kalicube Entity and brand consensus work
3 Animalz Answer-shaped content and citation outreach
4 Schema App Structured data and entity markup at scale
5 Profound Enterprise AI visibility tracking with an AI marketer
6 Peec AI Marketing teams that want visibility, position and sentiment tracking
7 Otterly.ai AI search monitoring across many engines, with a free trial to start

Top 3 Picks At A Glance

  • 🥇 Goldie Agency is my pick for running the off-site and content services together, it's my agency, and the first step is a free SEO strategy session.
  • 🥈 Kalicube is my top third-party pick for entity work, because its whole business is how Google and AI describe a brand.
  • 🥉 Animalz is my pick for answer-shaped content, because its AEO service pairs content refreshes with citation outreach.

The 6 LLM Optimization Services In One Table

Service What it does Who provides it on this list Can you run it yourself?
1. Entity and brand consensus Makes your name, services and proof match everywhere AI tools look Kalicube, Schema App, Goldie Agency Partly, with a fact file and profile clean-up
2. Citation building and digital PR Earns mentions on trusted sites the models already read Goldie Agency, Animalz Hard, because it needs publisher relationships
3. Answer-shaped content Rewrites key pages so they answer buyer questions directly Animalz, Goldie Agency Yes, with AI agents and human review
4. Technical and crawler access Makes sure AI crawlers can read your site Goldie Agency Yes, it's a short check
5. AI visibility tracking Re-asks buyer prompts and records what each AI says Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.ai Yes, manually or with agents
6. Structured data Describes your brand and pages in machine-readable markup Schema App Partly, on a small site

If you'd rather hire one agency for all six, my best LLM optimization agency ranking compares full-service teams instead.

How I Ranked These Providers

I ranked each provider on what its own site shows today, which I checked on 18 October 2026.

  • I checked that the site names AI search, AI visibility, AEO, GEO or LLMs as a live service or product.
  • I noted which of the six services the site covers.
  • I noted the first step the site offers, such as a demo, a trial or a free audit.
  • I deliberately picked providers I haven't used in my best GEO agency and AI SEO optimization agency posts.

I haven't bought from the six third-party providers, and I haven't listed prices, because plans change and agencies quote after a call.

The 7 Best LLM Optimization Services Providers

1. Goldie Agency (My Agency)

Goldie Agency is the SEO and link building agency I started on my own, and it now has 70+ people in Bangkok.

The strategy session page says AI platforms look for consistent signals across trusted publications, expert articles, independent reviews, comparisons and credible third-party references.

That's why our service is built around bylines, reviews, comparisons, research and authority placements, with link building that uses manual outreach and no PBNs.

In my GEO examples video I show Google's AI Overview for "best HARO agency" listing five suppliers and linking Goldie Agency first.

Services covered: It covers citation building, content, technical audits and the strategy that joins them up.

First step: In my video I describe it as a free one-to-one GEO and AEO audit, where we look at your site, your competitors and the keywords you're closest to winning.

2. Kalicube

Kalicube calls itself a team of digital brand engineers, and its homepage says your brand is what Google and AI say it is.

Its services include getting a Google Knowledge Panel, ranking on ChatGPT and AI, fixing online reputation and corporate brand optimisation, plus one-on-one consulting with founder Jason Barnard.

It offers a free AI audit across nine platforms that it says takes about ten minutes.

Services covered: It covers entity and brand consensus, with reputation and Knowledge Panel work.

3. Animalz

Animalz runs an answer engine optimisation service for visibility in tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews.

Its service lists an AI visibility audit, an AI search strategy, micro content refreshes, new content for critical prompts, citation outreach, Reddit engagement and measurement.

Services covered: It covers answer-shaped content, citation outreach and tracking.

4. Schema App

Schema App says it helps you control how AI understands your brand by building a semantic data layer it calls your content knowledge graph.

Its products cover schema markup, entity optimisation, entity linking and performance analytics.

Services covered: It covers structured data and entity markup.

5. Profound

Profound describes itself as an AI marketing platform for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews.

It lists answer engine insights, prompt volumes, shopping and agent analytics, plus an AI marketer that finds work worth doing, drafts it and asks you to approve it.

Services covered: It covers AI visibility tracking, with content drafting on top.

6. Peec AI

Peec AI calls itself AI search analytics for marketing teams, tracking visibility, position and sentiment across AI platforms.

How To Set Up Each LLM Optimization Service

This is the operator part, so here's how I'd set up each service in the right order.

Service 5 first: Record your baseline

Write 20 prompts a real buyer would type before choosing a business like yours.

Ask each one in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode, and save the answer, the brands named and the sources cited.

Do it by hand once, then decide whether a tracker like Peec AI, Otterly.ai or Profound is worth it for repeat checks.

Service 1 next: Build the brand fact file

Write your name, what you do, who you serve, where you are and your proof in one short document.

Then check your site, your social profiles and your listings against it and fix every mismatch.

Service 4: Check crawler access

Open your robots.txt and make sure you aren't blocking the crawlers behind AI search.

OpenAI's crawler page recommends allowing OAI-SearchBot, and Perplexity's crawler page recommends allowing PerplexityBot.

Service 6: Add honest structured data

Add Organization markup and page markup that matches what's visible on the page.

Google's AI features guide says no special schema is needed for AI Overviews or AI Mode, so treat markup as clarity, not a trick.

Service 3: Rewrite your money pages

Open each key page with a direct answer to the buyer's question, then back it up with your real proof.

Google's guidance on using generative AI content says to "manually factcheck and review all AI-generated content" before publishing.

Service 2 last but biggest: Earn mentions

List the sites the AI answers in your baseline already cite, then go after a byline, a review or a place in a comparison on each one.

This is the service most businesses outsource, because it needs relationships and time.

Buy, Outsource Or Run It Yourself?

Service Run it yourself when Buy a tool when Hire a provider when
Entity and brand consensus You have a few profiles to fix You manage many locations or brands Your brand is confused with another one
Citation building and digital PR You already have press contacts There's no tool that replaces this You need coverage on sites you can't reach
Answer-shaped content You can write and fact-check You want drafting help You need volume with editorial quality
Technical and crawler access Always, because it's a short check Your site is very large Your site is complex or custom-built
AI visibility tracking You track under 20 prompts You track many prompts, markets or competitors You want someone to act on the data
Structured data You run a small site You run thousands of pages You need it governed across teams

What My Own Sites Show

I test all six services on my own brands before I talk about them.

In my GEO examples video, Google's AI Overview for "best geo expert" names me first and cites several of my pages.

I also show one of my sites going from zero to about 1,300 Google clicks a day, with over 9,600 impressions inside Google's AI features on a single day.

Those are my results on my own sites, and they're proof the approach can work rather than a promise for yours.

The pattern behind them is what I call the answer engine, which is be the source, be everywhere and be first.

Being the source is service 3 with real case studies, being everywhere is service 2 across several sites and platforms, and being first means publishing within 24 hours when a topic appears.

A 30-Day Operator Checklist

Day Task Service
1 to 3 Write 20 prompts and record your baseline AI visibility tracking
4 to 7 Write the brand fact file and fix your main profiles Entity and brand consensus
8 Check robots.txt and your Organization markup Technical access and structured data
9 to 20 Rewrite your five most important pages Answer-shaped content
21 to 30 Pitch five cited sites for a byline, review or comparison Citation building
30 Re-ask the 20 prompts and compare AI visibility tracking

Google's AI features guide also says AI Overviews and AI Mode traffic is counted in the "Web" search type in Search Console, so add that report to day 30.

Red Flags When Buying LLM Optimization Services

  • Walk away from any service that guarantees a mention in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
  • Walk away from anyone selling an AI text file or special schema as the secret.
  • Walk away from tracking tools or agencies that won't show you the raw answers behind a score.
  • Walk away from content services with no human fact-checking step.

Nobody can guarantee what a model says, and that includes me and Goldie Agency.

FAQ: The Best LLM Optimization Services

What are the best LLM optimization services?

The six core services are entity and brand consensus, citation building and digital PR, answer-shaped content, technical and crawler access, AI visibility tracking and structured data.

I rank my own agency, Goldie Agency, first for running them together and disclose that bias.

Which LLM optimization service should I start with?

Start with a baseline from AI visibility tracking and a brand fact file.

Every other service depends on knowing what AI tools say about you today.

Can I run LLM optimization services myself?

You can run the baseline, crawler checks and fact file yourself with free AI tools or AI agents.

Citation building and digital PR are usually the hardest to do alone.

Do I need special schema to appear in AI answers?

Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode have no extra requirements and no special schema is needed.

Structured data can still help machines understand your brand, as long as it matches the visible page.

Can any LLM optimization service guarantee a ChatGPT mention?

No, because nobody can guarantee what a model says.

A good service improves what models can read about you and reports the answers honestly.
