What is HEO?

Two engines. One system.

Classic SEO only optimises for Google. But buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini too. Hybrid Engine Optimization targets both at once — the same content engineered to rank in search results and to be quoted by AI answer engines.

Search engines

  • Rank for thousands of high-intent keywords.
  • Authority links and clean technical foundations.
  • Proper sitemaps and fast, reliable indexing.

AI answer engines

  • Entity-rich, structured content LLMs can parse.
  • Clear, quotable answers that get cited by name.
  • Schema and formatting tuned for ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini.
How it works

A closed loop that never stops improving.

Research feeds creation, creation feeds links, and live data feeds the audit — which sends the engine back to work. It compounds while you sleep.

Phase 01

Research

We map your keyword universe and reverse-engineer the pages already winning for each term.

Phase 02

Create

For every topic, the engine writes the most complete, highest-ranking article — built for Google and LLMs.

Phase 03

Build & Connect

Internal links, authority backlinks and a clean sitemap ship automatically, then get indexed fast.

Phase 04

Audit & Refresh

The system flags decaying, thin or losing pages and rewrites them — so rankings keep climbing.

Inside the system

Everything HEO does for you.

Eight capabilities, one automated engine — wired into your stack and owned by you.

Keyword & intent research

Thousands of high-intent terms clustered into a winning content map.

Competitor research

We reverse-engineer the top-ranking pages and engineer something better.

Highest-ranking content

The most complete, on-brand article for every topic — generated and quality-checked. The same engine can turn each one into short-form video.

Link building

Automated internal linking plus authority backlinks that build real topical trust.

Content audit & gap analysis

The engine finds thin pages, content decay and missed angles — then queues the fix.

Auto content refresh

Underperforming articles are rewritten and re-optimised so rankings keep climbing.

LLM / AI optimisation

Schema, entities and quotable formatting so ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini cite you.

Sitemap & indexing

Clean, always-current XML sitemaps and fast indexing across every search engine — on a site built to be crawled, or a new one we build for you.

Is this right for you?

Built for you if…

  • You have a scalable topic space (SaaS, e-commerce, marketplaces, content brands).
  • You want to win Google and be the source AI tools quote.
  • You want a compounding asset you own — not a one-off content sprint.

Not a fit if…

  • You're a single-location business with only a handful of keywords.
  • You expect to rank #1 overnight — HEO compounds over months.
  • You want thin, spun spam — that's the opposite of what wins search and AI.

Your first articles live in 30 days — or you don't pay.

We're confident in the system. If we haven't shipped your first batch of ranking, LLM-ready, indexed articles within 30 days of kickoff, your first month is on us.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

HEO stands for Hybrid Engine Optimization. It's a single automated system that optimises your content for two audiences at once: traditional search engines (Google, Bing) and AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini). One pipeline researches, writes, links, audits and refreshes — built to rank and to be cited.

Classic SEO optimises only for search rankings. HEO adds two things: it engineers every page to be LLM-friendly so AI tools quote you by name, and it runs as a closed loop — continuously auditing your library, finding weak pages and rewriting them instead of publishing once and moving on.

That's the goal of the LLM-optimisation layer. We structure content with clean schema, clear entities and quotable, answer-ready passages — exactly the signals AI engines use to choose and credit sources. The same work also strengthens classic rankings.

Google rewards helpful content regardless of how it's made. We engineer pages around real intent with competitor research, quality controls and human review on templates — then keep them fresh with the auto-refresh loop. That's the difference between ranking and getting filtered.

First articles are live and indexed within ~30 days. Rankings and AI citations build over 3–6 months as authority compounds — and unlike ads, the traffic doesn't stop when you stop paying.

Completely. Everything lives in your CMS and your accounts — content, sitemaps, links. We build it; you own it, even if we part ways.

A note from the founder

"We started Loomflo because we watched brilliant teams spend their best hours writing content and chasing rankings — work a system should be doing."

The HEO engine is the one we wished existed for our own projects: it researches, writes, links, audits and refreshes on its own, and it's built to win Google and the new AI answers. You own all of it — your domain, your content, your data.

No lock-in, no vanity metrics — just organic growth that keeps compounding while you sleep. If that's the kind of growth you want, we'd genuinely love to build it with you.
