Understanding LLMO: The New Frontier in Marketing

On April 27, 2026, PLAN-B Marketing Partners will unveil a groundbreaking book titled "Understanding LLMO: The Essential Guide in 60 Minutes" published by 技術評論社. This book delves into the emerging marketing strategies in the age of AI, emphasizing Language Model Optimization (LLMO). It assists readers in navigating the shifting landscape of consumer behavior, providing foundational knowledge through to actionable practices.

The Background of Publication

With the rise of generative AI, the traditional search process has transformed from simple information retrieval to engaging consultations with AI systems. This shift profoundly affects how users gather information and make decisions. Consequently, businesses must adapt their marketing strategies to leverage LLMO, which is garnering attention as a new paradigm in marketing. Discussions about LLMO often blur the lines with SEO, raising questions about whether it belongs to SEO's evolutionary path or stands as a new methodology. The concept is still maturing, leading to diverse interpretations.

The book reframes LLMO as comprehensive brand management on the web. It systematically explores how to cultivate "trust and reputation"—factors crucial for being favored by AI through SEO, PR, advertising, and social media.

What the Book Covers

"Understanding LLMO" is structured to facilitate a thorough grasp of its foundational elements, focusing on how to disseminate information effectively to be selected by AI. It provides diagnostic methods to help businesses assess their current positions and outlines actionable steps for investment decisions and organizational setups.

The content is designed not only for novices but also for seasoned professionals, including business owners and marketing leaders, looking to expand their knowledge.

Key Features of the Book

• - Comprehensive overview of marketing in the AI era without getting lost in mere methodologies.
• - Cross-cutting insights on SEO, PR, advertising, and social media under the umbrella of LLMO.
• - Coverage of practical implementation, investment evaluation, and management strategies.
• - Visually engaging format featuring full-color illustrations and clear explanations.

Who Should Read This Book?

This book is perfect for:

• - Individuals wanting to grasp the essence and foundations of marketing in the AI age.
• - Professionals involved in SEO, public relations, and advertising, aiming to enhance corporate information dissemination.
• - Those facing challenges in building their brand's online presence and understanding when and how to engage with LLMO.

About the Author

The book is authored by Haruyasu Ueda, Head of the AI Marketing Division at PLAN-B Marketing Partners. After joining PLAN-B in 2018, Ueda led the SEO department and played pivotal roles in consulting, media launch support, and service development. As head of the AI Marketing Division since 2026, he has been dedicated to supporting corporate marketing efforts based around LLMO, while also overseeing high-level strategy design.

Ueda's extensive expertise in generative AI and marketing positions him uniquely to illuminate the evolving landscape through seminars, articles, and expert commentary.

Author's Message

Ueda stresses the importance of recognizing the shift in user behavior due to generative AI, where search is no longer about seeking information but rather a means of obtaining answers. This change has fostered both perspectives—LLMO as a continuation of SEO and as an innovative approach.

His goal with this book is to define LLMO not only as a tool but as a framework for robust online brand management.

About the Seminar

In conjunction with the book launch, a seminar titled "Marketing for Success in the AI Search Era" will be held. Ueda will provide insights divided into two parts: understanding the structural basis and practical strategy implementation of LLMO.
