We publish this file because we are asked about it, not because we sell it:
llms.txt has reached ~10% adoption across roughly 300,000 domains with no
measurable correlation to being cited (SE Ranking study; describes current
behavior, which could change).

## What we do
- [What changed](https://cajole.cc/#changed): the unit of optimization moved
  from ranked position to inclusion and framing inside a synthesized answer,
  measured per engine.
- [What we do](https://cajole.cc/#what-we-do): we measure share of answer and
  citation rate per engine, do the content, entity and citation work, and
  report with the method attached.
- [Engagements](https://cajole.cc/#offers): baseline assessment (2–3 weeks),
  content & entity sprint (4–6 weeks), measurement foundation (2–3 weeks),
  managed program (monthly). Fixed scope or recurring; never hourly. No
  pricing is published.
- [Partner Programs](https://cajole.cc/#agencies): wholesale, white-label delivery
  under the agency's brand; the agency keeps the client and the contract;
  non-circumvention in writing.

## Reporting standard
- [Reporting](https://cajole.cc/#reporting): every metric discloses prompt
  universe, denominator, engines, geography and language, collection method,
  run count, cadence, date window, competitor set, and confidence. Trend
  reports carry a change log of engine and model events in the window.
- We commit to the work and to measurement under this standard. We do not
  promise rankings, citations, traffic, or revenue.

- [FAQ](https://cajole.cc/#faq): definitions of AEO, GEO, AI SEO, AIO, share
