Who We Are
Our name: We thought long and hard about our branding, and had many internal debates about using the word "cartel" in our name and the potential negative impacts it might have. We are using it more in the terms of a "coalition" against big tech companies that suppress small business websites. We fight for you!
LLM Cartel is the most hyper-focused Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) agency on the planet. We don't dabble in traditional SEO as a side hustle. This is all we do, and we're obsessed with doing it better than anyone else.
Our team has spent years deep in technical infrastructure, content authority, and AI training signals. We know exactly what it takes to get an LLM to cite your brand. We do it clean, and we stand behind every move.
While we are a new company, many members of our team have worked together for years and we all have a passion for optimizing businesses for AI / GEO / AEO.
The Three Pillars of LLM Success
Right Place, Right Time
Visibility & Presence
Your brand needs to exist in the data sources AI models actually prioritize: niche directories, wikis, industry media, and LLM training directories.
Lightweight and Optimized
Technical Foundation
Bloated sites get ignored by AI crawlers. We engineer lean, fast, bot-friendly infrastructure that lets every algorithm read you clearly.
The Right Language
Content & Semantics
Direct & extractable content (TL;DRs, Q&A blocks, structured data) gives AI models exactly what they need to quote you as the authority.
