Establish AI Search Expertise/Trust through LLMSEO, GEO, AEO

Capitalize on Schema, EEAT, LLM SEO, GEO, and AEO for Income

Step 1 (Strategic need). How to stabilize fluctuating rankings?

Shift from relying only on paid advertisements toward more content ownership on the site or social media through a robust organic content strategy. This strategy is important because Generative AI (GenAI) and Google's AI Overviews are actively rewriting the rules of digital marketing and SEO.

The internet's traditional "links page paradigm" is being updated with a more conversational, AI-driven approach. The links page paradigm or classic SEO aims for clicks through keywords, but modern SEO (or GEO) aims for contextualized citation and synthesis in the AI Answers or Overview. Achieving this citation produces leads for your site and positions your brand in the AI-generated recommendation. You can use classic SEO as a base strategy, but focus more on AI search optimization (AI SEO). AI SEO is more entity-based [1].

Step 2 (Technical work). How to structure content for AI citations?

Use the professional advantage of employing structured content (Schema.org) and E-E-A-T. To ensure your content is easily processed by Large Language Models (LLMs) and cited accurately by AI search systems, structured data (in Microdata, JSON-LD, or RDFa format) is fundamental. This technical optimization is core to LLM SEO (Large Language Model Optimization), which focuses on making content published online understandable and discoverable by AI models like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude.

Specific Schema.org to use are:

  • BlogPosting with Author schema. It enhances E-E-A-T (Expertise, Experience, Authority, and Trust) and builds the necessary authority for AI citation;
  • FAQPage is highly effective for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)/LLM searches;
  • Organization Schema is vital for "About Us" pages; detailing expertise areas and links to social profiles using the sameAs itemprop;
  • Person/Author Schema emphasizes the author property, including industry-relevant credentials and experience;
  • and the Service Schema is vital for professionals with consulting services, as it clarifies what services are offered (e.g., project scope, price, benefits).

Schema.org code markups that make content machine-readable and E-E-A-T that builds trustworthiness both prepare the content for AI citation [2].

Step 3 (Execution). How to proactively rank better in ?

Focus on content structure and semantic optimization by using LLM SEO, GEO, or AEO. Given the Gartner prediction, content must be structurally optimized for AI Search to be cited reliably. All professional services online have to adapt to this new trend to attain visibility in snippets, AI Overviews, and chatbot responses. Since generative AI search engines prioritize speed and context window, using an organic content strategy with LLM SEO (builds foundational authority for AI), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization aims for inclusion in AI summaries), and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization focuses on becoming direct answers to voice search) is key. To succeed, therefore, with these three core modern SEO pillars, there is a present need to optimize content for more semantics (in conversational and people-first text and tone). Shift, therefore, must be from just using keywords/key phrases to include entities. An Answer-First Content Structure is an advantage since the goal is to "satisfy" the user who searches more in AI search systems. To do this, structure your content with the first two sentences already containing a direct answer to a user query. If those first two sentences are both comprehensive and concise, then citation is highly probable. Tip: Do this only for informational webpages and not for webpages that lead to Sales/Income [3][4].

Step 4 (Monetization). How to make a citation convert to a click and sale (from visibility to monetization)?

Work to link the technically-structured content (with all relevant schema, using LLM SEO, GEO, or AEO) to attract higher-intent searches (transactional and commercial investigation intent). Attracting high-intent user searches leads directly to the point of conversion, where a link to a checkout page produces the business outcome: a Sale. This combination of technical implementation and high-intent targeting is what builds the "SEO Moat". Webpages that are highly structured with schema result in 40% higher click-through rates (CTR) compared to those without. Establish E-E-A-T well first to gain return visits to your site. It is from these return visitors who stay more and explore a site long enough that they can convert into a customer [5][6].

Step 5 (Outsourcing). How to begin this strategy now?

Understand the basics (self-educate) first before outsourcing. Learn the concepts of the new AI search ecosystem. Consultation and professional content strategy services on an "as-needed basis" can then assist in learning better what specifically applies to your professional engagement in polywork or MSME business startup needs. And the "Two heads are better than one" wisdom always prevails. Navigating the complex AI-SEO ecosystem needs initial understanding at first through self-education online, and then further consultation for a better grasp of what needs to be done. New methods that incorporate semantic context in content require significant time investment, technical expertise, and continuous monitoring. Outsourcing on an "as-needed basis" can save a marketing professional more of his/her salary and a Philippine MSME's working fund than hiring a fully employed SEO professional [7].

From Strategic Need to Implementation

Strategic Need → Technical Work → Execution → Monetization → Outsourcing

Philippine MSMEs need to rely more on producing digital assets that they can invest in and earn income from. Advertising too early before monetization will certainly drain their financial reserves. Only Large businesses (Corporations) can advertise to earn more income. The logical step which Philippine MSMEs can do for a better is to see their need to work for better organic AI search results with structured data implementation, and then earn authority and user trust through E-SEO (E-E-A-T). This strategy of Code to Income increases their visibility and ranking and obtains much-needed CTRs for Sales and Income.
