What is GEO? LMAO is the true silver bullet for traffic growth in the AI era?
LMAO = Language Model Answer Optimization
A new generation of SEO strategies is designed specifically for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.
🧠 Why do we need “new SEO”?
Over the past 20 years, everyone has relied on Google Search and Baidu Search, trying to optimize their SEO to appear on the first page of search results.
Now, search methods are undergoing fundamental changes:
| Decade | Mainstream Search Method | User Habit | Recommendation Logic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | Google / Baidu | Search Keywords | Ranked by "website authority + keyword density" |
| 2020s | ChatGPT / Perplexity | Ask Questions | Answers based on "language model training data" |
AI search does not match content based on keywords, but rather answers your questions like a “person” would.
Therefore, you must ensure that AI knows you, references you, and recognizes you.
This is why we no longer do traditional SEO, but have started doing LMAO.
💡 What is LMAO?
LMAO is a term I coined myself, standing for:
Language Model Answer Optimization
Its objective is clear:
To ensure your brand content appears prominently in AI responses.
Currently, various terms are in use:
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
- AEO (AI Engine Optimization)
- AI SEO
- LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization)
These are all buzzwords invented by VCs and "experts" to confuse people into thinking they are working on something complex.
But to be honest, let's stop calling the complex terms - there are so many abbreviations that I want to laugh, so I'll just call it: LMAO 😂
Language Model Answer Optimization
🧨 Why is now the window of opportunity?
Currently, AI tools are rapidly eating into traditional search traffic.
🔍 Take a look at the following data on “user search habits” (simulated from our own research):
| Tool | Monthly Active Users (Est.) | Main Use | Search-Related Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | 250 Million+ | Ask questions, find recommendations | "Recommend XX software", "Which one is better?" |
| Perplexity | 50 Million+ | Precise search | "Which AI writing tool is better?" |
| Claude | 10 Million+ | Q&A assistant | "Compare XX and YY, what are the differences?" |
🧠 Users are increasingly relying on AI to make decisions, such as:
- Which tool is cheaper?
- Which service is more suitable for the team?
- Are there any alternative recommendations?
These questions will not take you to the official website, but will give you the answer first.
👉 So the key is: can your brand appear in AI's answers?
🔧 LMAO How do we do it? Our methodology breakdown
We use a structured content feeding system to feed your brand into the AI's “knowledge base”:
🧱 1. Create comparative content: Capture the moment when users make decisions.
| Type | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Rankings | "Top 5 Translation Tools in 2025" | Make your tool appear early and frequently. |
| Brand Comparison | "Notion vs CapGo: Which is Better for Team Collaboration?" | Proactively define the user's comparison criteria. |
| Alternative Recommendations | "3 Alternatives to Grammarly" | Intercept search traffic from competitor brands. |
We will produce 60 high-quality comparison articles for you every month and distribute them to your official website, supporting 10 languages for global coverage.
🌍 2. Establish third-party endorsement: Make AI trust you
AI likes to cite content from authoritative platforms, not just your official website.
We will help you publish content to:
| Platform | Content Format | AI Trust Level | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| High-Authority Blogs (DR > 50) | Guest Posts | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | $350/article |
| Upvoted Discussion Posts | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | $80/post | |
| Quora / Zhihu | Answer Content | ⭐⭐⭐ | Self-operated/Outsourced |
🎯 3. Create “usage-driven” content: Cover a wide range of long-tail needs
AI users often ask “scenario-based questions,” such as:
- “Is there an AI tool that can solve math problems by taking a photo and drawing diagrams?”
- “Recommend a translation tool suitable for writing technical documents.”
- “Which AI can help me summarize paragraphs in a paper?”
Although these search needs are scattered, they generate massive traffic and extremely high conversion rates when aggregated.
We use a programmatic content strategy to mass-produce these pages, each of which can be “seen” and “remembered” by AI.
💰 Pricing Structure & Return Model
Our services are simple and transparent:
| Service Item | Content | Quantity | Price/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison Content Writing | Multi-language comparison blogs | 60 articles / month / 10 languages | $2000 |
| Backlink Publishing | Third-party blogs, Reddit, etc. | Billed by quantity | Blogs $350 / Reddit $80 |
| Reddit Strategy | Content planning + posting + comments | Each post includes interaction | $80 / post |
⚠️ Customers only need to cooperate with a one-time technical connection (engineers can complete it within 2-3 hours) to have the content hosted under their own domain name.
🚀 If you don’t move now, AI will move your customers—to your competitors.
Now is the window of opportunity for content dividends, but this door won't stay open for long.
Many big brands have already started to lay out their plans, such as:
- Jasper AI
- Grammarly
- Notion AI
- Descript
They have all systematically fed AI, allowing the model to remember who they are.
The sooner you start today, the more likely you are to take the lead in AI search.
