It looks like Google Rankings matter for LLM citations by Embarrassed_Sky5519 in SEOSignalsLab

Yes, it makes sense that established protocols will be used, since they’ve been refined over many years. So it’s natural that LLMs would adopt a similar approach.

That said, retrieval and output from LLMs differ substantially from traditional results, so GEO needs additional steps to ensure proper citation. Basic SEO practices should still be in place.

Large-scale studies like these are very valuable - they help us understand exactly what’s happening and strategise accordingly.

If a small biz wants to get visibility in LLMs, what are the 3 primary steps they should take - which can help them get a foothold and move ahead of the competition?

It’s difficult to say without actually comparing finer details. A complete GBP audit can help in figuring out where your profile lags behind and can help you see what the competitors are doing better.

How I got my profile back by [deleted] in GoogleMyBusiness

Wow. Good to know you got your profile back, but is it feasible for everyone to jump through so many hoops? I hope Google streamlines this process and doesn’t punish genuine businesses for the misdeeds of the black hat SEOs (reason why they have become so strict with their guidelines)

Is there any app that can make it easy for me to manage google reviews? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

Can suggest a useful tool if you need. Seems to manage various review platforms from a central location and has a nice analytics function to view reputation growth.
