The biggest mistake brands make when they treat LLM optimization like SEO

About this episode

Most brands fail when treating LLM optimization like traditional SEO. Jeff Reine, co-founder at Everything Machines with two decades in enterprise marketing and platform strategy, has developed Everything Cache to make websites readable for LLM crawlers without rebuilding human-facing sites. The discussion covers why LLM bots behave fundamentally differently from Googlebot and the strategic framework for optimizing content for AI systems versus traditional search engines.

previsible. So you're looking for SEO help. And you got a couple of options. You could start replying to spam from agencies that claim they can get you to rank number one on Google. You can pay an hourly rate for a consultant who will inevitably nickel and dime you with hourly charges, or you can work with a cookie cutter agency to quickly launch a strategy-less project with low success rate. None of those sound very good. Now do they? Well, that's where previsible's integrated consulting model comes in.

Well, I think the biggest mistake is they assume the bots all behave the same way, and that they assume they behave like Googlebot and they don't.

That's all for today, but until next time, remember, the answers are always in the data.
