How to Make Your Website 'LLM-Ready' (Practical Version)

"LLM-ready" is mostly the SEO fundamentals you should already do — done well, with a few tweaks.

1. Write quotable answers

LLMs cite passages, not paragraphs. Lead with a one-sentence answer, then expand. Example: "An automation consultant typically costs $1,500–$10K/mo on retainer."

2. Use real H2s for real questions

Phrase H2s the way users phrase queries. "How much does X cost?" beats "Pricing."

3. Add schema everywhere it fits

FAQPage, Service, Article, Organization. JSON-LD only — microdata is dead.

4. Make your facts crawlable

Pricing, locations, hours, services — in plain HTML, not behind a click. LLMs don't click.

5. Build topic depth

One thin page on a topic gets ignored. A hub page + 5 supporting articles gets cited.

6. Cite yourself

Internal links with descriptive anchor text help LLMs map your authority.

7. Don't block AI crawlers (unless you mean to)

Check robots.txt. If you want citations, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot need access.
