1. If Your Best Salesperson Is Suddenly a Bot

Imagine you have an employee who’s available 24/7, never takes vacations, knows all the information, and recommends exactly what you sell to every potential customer.
But this employee isn’t a person – it’s a language model. Welcome to the era of Large Language Models (LLMs).ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini are no longer just toys for nerds.
They are recommendation engines with massive influence over buying behavior. Whoever is named by them gets AI traffic – qualified, curious, and conversion-friendly.

And here’s the best part: you can influence whether – and how – you get recommended by them.

3. 12 Techniques to Get AI Traffic (and Seduce AIs)

1. Bing Webmaster Tools: ChatGPT’s Secret Door

ChatGPT’s free version uses Bing as a data source.
If you’re not visible on Bing, you’re practically invisible to the bot.
Your checklist:

• Submit your website to Bing Webmaster Tools
  
• Upload your sitemap and fix errors
  
• If you run an online shop, connect the Bing Merchant Center
  

Not sure how? Our experts can help you implement it correctly.

2. Technical SEO: The Old Code Becomes an AI Magnet

AIs love structure, speed, and clear linking.
What helps your site get recommended:

• Fast page loading
  
• Proper H1–H3 hierarchy
  
• Strong internal links
  
• Mobile-friendliness

3. Trust Backlinks: Because Machines Need to Trust Too

Want a language model to quote you like an expert?
Then you need backlinks from trusted sources such as Wikipedia, Reddit, and reputable media.
It’s one of the strongest signals AIs use to verify credibility.
We dive deeper into this in our post about SEO Content Creation.

4. Mentions Without Links: Just Say My Name

It’s no longer just about backlinks.
Mentions of your brand or product across forums, blogs, and social networks also signal relevance to AI.
This is called Crowd Marketing & Content Seeding – and it works.

5. Content with Context: No More Keyword Bingo

AIs no longer rely on keyword stuffing.
They evaluate contextual quality, tone, and user intent.
Write for real users, but structure your content for machines — combining readability with structured data.

6. FAQ Content: ChatGPT Loves Questions – You Provide the Answers

FAQ pages are like love letters to AI:
clear, conversational, and full of long-tail keywords.
Use the same natural Q&A format AIs use to train their models.

7. Become an Expert Persona

AIs and search engines love real humans with expertise.
Create an author page with your photo, qualifications, and LinkedIn link, and use it consistently across your site.

8. Maintain Content: Old but Gold Is Boring

Regularly update your pages with current data and new examples.
AIs prefer freshness over legacy.

9. Build Topic Clusters: Content Islands, Not Lone Wolves

Group your content into topic clusters.
Interlink articles under the same theme to signal topical authority.

10. Use AI Yourself: Hack the Hacker

Create your own GPTs (e.g., “Product Advisor”), comment in AI forums, and analyze content with ChatGPT.
You’ll learn how AIs “think” — and optimize accordingly.

11. Structured Data: Whisper Information to AIs

Implement Schema Markup for your products, FAQs, and authors.
It’s how you “speak” directly to AI systems like Gemini or ChatGPT.

12. Think in Formats: Multimodal Is the New Standard

Combine text, images, video, and PDFs.
AIs love variety — and this multiplies your entry points for visibility.

AI Traffic and Recommendations from LLMs Are Possible!

Being recommended by AIs isn’t luck – it’s strategy.
A mix of structure, trust, context, and expertise will get you there.
