LLM Optimization Agency in Lisbon
Getting AI to Name Drop Your Brand
I run LLM Lisbon. I spend my days figuring out how to get OpenAI and Gemini to talk about your company. Search is changing. People don’t scroll through ten blue links anymore. They ask an AI a question and expect a direct answer.
If your brand doesn’t show up in that answer, you lose. It hurts.
Maybe you run a boutique hotel in Alfama. A tourist asks Claude for a quiet place to stay near the Tagus river. Claude spits out two options. If your hotel isn’t on that list, you don’t exist to that tourist. It feels exactly like missing a casting call for a blockbuster movie. You don’t need the starring role. You just need a speaking line.
I make sure you get that speaking line.
The Mechanics of LLM Optimization
I see many founders wasting money on outdated SEO tricks. They stuff keywords into blog posts. They buy cheap backlinks. That stuff doesn’t work for AI bots.
Language models read the web differently. They don’t care about your keyword density. They care about facts and context. Sometimes they look for specific data formats. I build your digital presence so these models understand exactly who you are and what you sell.
Here is what I do:
- I clean up your facts. I structure your website data. I make sure your pricing and services sit in clear tables.
- I build external trust. I get your name onto authoritative sites. If ten respected travel blogs mention your hotel, the AI trusts your brand more.
- I answer real questions. I map out the exact prompts your buyers type. Then, I write clear direct answers on your site.
I also deal with the technical side. I fix your site’s code so bots read it easily. I implement schema markup. This tells the machine exactly what kind of business you operate. I review your robots.txt file. If you block a crawler, you lose all visibility.
Stop Chasing the Wrong Metrics
Traffic volume means nothing today. I care about answer share. I want to know how often a generative engine recommends you.
Think about the music industry. In the 1990s, bands fought for radio airplay. Today, artists fight for placement on Spotify playlists. AI search works the same way. The engine acts as the ultimate curator. I get you onto the curator’s playlist.
I run tests constantly. I use tools to ping major models with specific prompts. I check if they cite your business. If they ignore you, I adjust the strategy. I rewrite your service pages. I fix your technical schema. I push for better reviews on third-party sites.
It takes time. Sometimes it takes months to see a shift in how models perceive your business. But the payoff hits hard.
Writing for Machines and Humans
I write content that appeals to both audiences. The AI needs clear undeniable facts. Your human buyer needs a compelling story.
I place the most direct answer at the very top of your page. I give the machine exactly what it wants immediately. Then, I expand on the details for the human reader further down.
I also monitor how models change. OpenAI updates its systems. Google tweaks Gemini. I watch these shifts. I adapt your content so you stay visible.
Real World Testing
I refuse to guess. I rely on hard testing. I run specific prompts against different models every week.
Let’s say you sell B2B accounting software. I open Perplexity. I type a prompt asking for the best accounting tools for European startups. I read the output. I look at the citations.
If your competitor shows up, I analyze why. I find the exact source the AI cited. Maybe they got a strong review on a major tech site. I go after that same site for you. I secure a mention.
I track your Share of Answer. This metric tracks the percentage of AI responses mentioning your brand. I obsess over this number. It tells me if my work actually brings you clients. I document every change. I show you exactly what moves the needle. You see the progression clearly.
I don’t sell vanity metrics. I don’t sell clicks that never convert. I sell visibility in the only place that matters right now. You need customers to find you. I make sure the AI points them directly to your front door.
Note. I’m now in Chaves, Portugal. But I work remotely.
