LLM Citations: Why AI Models Ignore Your Content (And How to Fix It)
You've spent months building content that ranks. You've watched the traffic come in, the impressions climb in Search Console, and you've started to feel like you have the system figured out. But there's a conversation happening right now that you're not part of. Someone just asked ChatGPT which tools handle LLM citations — and your brand wasn't mentioned. Not because your content is bad. Because it was written for an algorithm that accounts for maybe 40% of where search answers now get generated. So the real question isn't whether your SEO is working. It's whether your content exists in the right places for the audience that never clicks through to Google results at all.

You already know AI search is eating into organic traffic. What you probably don't know is whether your brand is showing up in it — or getting completely bypassed while competitors are cited by name. Only 17% of content cited in Google AI Overviews ranks in the traditional top 10. Your SEO dashboard is measuring the wrong thing. Which AI visibility tool actually tells you where you stand — and which ones just show you vanity metrics you can't act on? That answer matters more than your page-one rankings right now.

The Frase blog published another AEO tools roundup last week. Seven consecutive editions, same vendors, same conclusions — and the same platform left off the list every time. You've probably noticed that most "best tools" articles in this category are written by the tools themselves. We tested 10 AEO platforms against five marketing use cases. Here's what the data showed.
Martin J.SEOJul 20, 2026How to Rank on ChatGPT: Get Your Content Cited in AI Answers
You've been optimizing for Google for years — but when someone asks ChatGPT about your industry, your competitor shows up and you don't. That gap isn't random, and it isn't closing on its own. Getting cited in ChatGPT's AI-generated answers follows a different set of rules than traditional SEO, and most guides either mix up the concepts or sell you their own tool. So here's a direct question: do you actually know whether ChatGPT is referencing your brand right now — or just assuming it isn't? The mechanics behind AI citations are more controllable than people think, but only if you understand what ChatGPT is actually optimizing for when it picks a source.

SEO vs GEO: What's the Difference and Why Both Matter in 2026
You've been optimizing for Google since before most of your marketing team graduated college. The playbook worked — backlinks, keywords, SERP rankings. But there's a search engine your analytics dashboard probably isn't tracking, and it's already answering questions your potential customers are asking. Are you treating your keyword strategy as if traditional search is still the only game in town? Because right now, 47% of Google searches trigger an AI Overview — a generated answer that may or may not include your content. The difference between showing up in that answer and getting skipped isn't just about rankings anymore. And if you've never heard of Generative Engine Optimization, you're about to find out how different it is from everything you've been doing.
Martin J.SEOJul 20, 2026How to Rank in Perplexity: The Citation Signals That Actually Matter
Your best article is on Google's first page. But when someone asks Perplexity the exact question it was written to answer, a smaller site gets cited instead — and your content is nowhere. That's not bad luck. The ranking signals Perplexity uses to select citations are different from what Google rewards, and most well-optimized content fails Perplexity's filters without anyone noticing. Are you actually optimizing for Perplexity, or just hoping Google authority carries over? Because those aren't the same strategy. And the gap between them is quietly opening.
Martin J.SEOJul 20, 2026LLM Optimization for Marketers: 7 Techniques to Get Your Brand Cited by AI
You've spent years making sure your content ranks on Google. You've mastered keyword research, built backlinks, optimized your meta titles — and it shows in your traffic reports. But here's what your analytics dashboard isn't telling you: when someone asks ChatGPT to recommend the best tool in your category, your brand might not come up at all. Not because your content is weak. Because it was never designed to be cited by a language model. Do you actually know what AI says about your brand when no one from your team is in the room? The shift from "ranking first" to "being cited" is already happening — and your competitors who figured this out six months ago are already showing up in answers where your brand is absent.
Martin J.SEOJul 20, 2026On-Page GEO: How to Optimize Pages So AI Search Engines Actually Cite You
On-page SEO and on-page GEO start with the same goal — make your content more likely to appear when someone searches. The overlap stops there. SEO optimizes for crawlers that rank by authority and relevance. GEO optimizes for LLMs that generate answers by aggregating and citing sources. The signals that move your Google ranking and the signals that determine whether ChatGPT cites your page in an answer are not the same list. If you've applied on-page SEO correctly and your AI visibility is still flat, you're missing the second list. So here's the direct question: do you actually know which specific on-page elements are driving AI citations right now — or are you guessing based on SEO principles that don't transfer?
