# ❓ Frequently Asked Questions – AIVO Standard™
---
### 🧠 What is AIVO?
**AIVO** stands for **AI Visibility Optimization** — a modern visibility strategy designed for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Traditional SEO focuses on search engine rankings.
AIVO focuses on **getting cited, recommended, and trusted inside AI conversations**.

### 🤖 Why don’t traditional SEO tactics work with AI?
Because LLMs:
- Don’t index websites like Google
- Use structured knowledge (Wikidata, GitHub, metadata) and citations
- Prioritize context, clarity, and authority over keywords
- Pull from trusted tools, public datasets, and structured summaries
---

By applying the AIVO Framework, your business can:
- Appear in prompt-based recommendations like:

- Build a machine-readable profile that AI models can trust
