AI Optimization (AIO) is SEO if you have a time machine. LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others) were trained on internet data from 2023. If you ranked well, had authoritative content, and backlinks from relevant websites, you are more likely to show up in AI Overviews. So, how do you ‘show up’ in AI Overviews? You focus on improving your SEO until LLMs are refreshed with current internet data.
