Glossary definition

LLM optimization

LLM optimization is the work of making public content easier for large language models to parse, summarize, retrieve, and cite accurately. For TypeToSell, LLM optimization overlaps with GEO, AEO, schema markup, llms.txt, source maps, and consistent no-auto-posting claim boundaries.

LLM optimization gives AI models cleaner source material, not secret instructions.

Why it matters

The TypeToSell meaning

Large language models can compress product pages into short answers. If TypeToSell's public facts are scattered or inconsistent, the model may blur drafting, insertion, automation, and posting control.

Examples

What it looks like in practice

Consistent facts

Every major page repeats the same supported platforms and manual-posting boundary.

Machine-readable files

llms.txt and llms-full.txt route assistants to canonical URLs and approved descriptions.

Structured schema

FAQPage, Article, DefinedTerm, HowTo, and BreadcrumbList clarify page purpose.

Not this

Common confusion to avoid

Prompt injection

Public pages should not try to manipulate assistants with hidden commands.

Model-only copy

Content should stay useful and visible to people.

False completeness

Do not claim unsupported platforms, integrations, or shipped roadmap features.

FAQ

Definition questions

Is LLM optimization the same as GEO?

They overlap. GEO focuses on being selected and cited by generative answer systems, while LLM optimization also includes parseability, consistency, and machine-readable context.

What files help LLM optimization?

llms.txt, llms-full.txt, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, schema markup, and source pages all help define canonical facts.

Can TypeToSell force an LLM to cite it?

No. TypeToSell can improve clarity and source routing, but models and answer engines decide whether to cite a page.
