Access Publishing has begun testing advanced Large Language Model (LLM) optimization strategies, leading the way in helping ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other LLMs cite its clients in search results.

Access Publishing has entered the testing phase of Large Language Model (LLM) optimization strategies. While most agencies wait on the sidelines, Access Publishing is taking the lead for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other large language models, to cite the company’s clients in response to LLM searches.

How does this help business? It has changed the way search engines, like Google, and AI assistants, like ChatGPT or Perplexity, process searches. When someone initiates a search for information on Google, the AI component of the search engine returns information in the form of an explanation, description, or “how-to” steps. Along with the often comprehensive explanations, “citations” or links to relevant businesses are included. This process establishes businesses as leaders in their sectors and increases their online visibility.

The Access Publishing SEO team has been running experiments to determine what factors increase brand visibility and citations in those AI-generated responses, and building foundational knowledge and methodologies before this becomes mainstream. The testing focuses on:

• Analyzing which content formats and structures are most likely to be cited by LLMs.
• Testing different optimization approaches and measuring their impact on AI visibility.
• Identifying patterns in how LLMs source and reference information.
• Evaluating the relationship between traditional SEO signals and LLM citations.

Although Google still has over 16.4 billion daily, AI search is fundamentally changing how consumers find information. Access Publishing is investing early energy into understanding this channel while it’s still emerging, to ensure the team effectively leverages LLM search behavior for the benefit of its clients, and is ahead of the trend as LLM search behavior becomes standard. Many of the company’s clients can already be found in LLM searches.
