Definition
LLMO is a broader label for work aimed at how large language models understand and reference a brand, including both live-retrieval answers and what the model has absorbed from training data.
Why it matters
The distinction matters for timing. Material aimed at live retrieval can affect answers within days; material that only reaches the model through training moves on the vendor's release cycle and cannot be scheduled.
