Claude Optimisation

Claude Optimisation for Accurate Answers When Buyers Weigh Their Options

Claude optimisation works on how Claude describes your business when buyers use it to research and compare suppliers. It sits within our Generative Engine Optimisation programme or runs as its own project, and our senior SEOs check that Claude's account of you is accurate, not just that you are named. It is not about tuning your own prompts.

Who this is for

Where Claude's account of you counts

  • Specialists vet you in detail

    You sell a technical product, a B2B service or professional advice, and your buyers are specialists who analyse the options before they call. Evaluation like that is work Claude is often given.

  • A rival gets the fuller write-up

    Ask Claude to compare suppliers in your field and it gets your basics right, then spends its detail on a competitor whose thorough, well-sourced pages give it more to say.

  • Your expertise sits in documentation

    The proof of your expertise lives in specifications, user guides and technical documents written for existing customers, away from the pages new buyers reach. Schema marking up your organisation and services is missing too.

  • Not every buyer opens Claude.ai

    Some of your buyers use Claude.ai; others reach Claude through its API. Its account of you rests on the same content and entity signals either way, so one piece of work covers both.

What we do

  • Why Claude earns a place in your tracking

    Claude optimisation belongs to our Generative Engine Optimisation programme, and Claude is in the standard set our AI Visibility Audits test, beside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Mode and AI Overviews.

    What sets it apart is the kind of question it gets. People hand Claude research, analysis and decisions, so the prompts worth testing there are evaluative, such as which supplier suits a stated need. For a considered or B2B purchase, the answer can influence who gets the enquiry.

  • How Claude forms a view of a supplier

    Claude's preference is for depth and nuance over a brisk summary, and an evaluation is where that shows. A fair comparison needs two things from the material about you: what you do, explained fully enough to set against a rival, and signs that others agree.

    The first comes from your service pages, documentation and structured data; the second from trade press, reviews and discussion in your field. Whether a buyer opens Claude.ai or reaches it through its API, the answer rests on that material.

What we change so Claude can describe you

Our Claude optimisation services cover four things a detailed comparison tends to expose.

  1. Pages built for evaluation

    Service and comparison pages answer the buyer's question first, then set out method, evidence and named expertise, with how-to-choose content for your category.

  2. Documentation and schema

    Specifications and technical guides become clear pages on your site, and schema marks up your organisation, services and expertise, so Claude has an accurate account of your offer to draw on.

  3. One account in every comparison

    Your name, description, services and locations agree on your site, Google Business Profile, listings and social profiles, so Claude is not reconciling conflicting versions of you. Our Entity Optimisation service takes that work further.

  4. Coverage your buyers read

    Digital PR in the trade titles your buyers follow, plus reviews, puts independent evidence behind your claims when Claude weighs you against rivals; press coverage is part of how language models judge which brands matter.

  • Reading Claude's answers for accuracy

    In Claude, being named is only half the test, because a detailed comparison can include you and still get you wrong. So we read each answer to your approved prompts in full, checking that your services are right, that what sets you apart comes through and where you stand against the named competitors. Mentions, links and position are logged too, via specialist platforms and our own scripted runs, and reported beside your Google rankings and organic revenue.

How it works

What happens once Claude optimisation starts

Across our GEO work, fixes to entity details and page structure can shift citations within weeks; outside corroboration usually takes three to six months.

  • Step 1 of 4: Test Claude's comparisons

    You approve a set of evaluation prompts, such as which supplier suits a stated need, and we read Claude's first answers in full, noting where you are missing, misdescribed or outweighed by a rival.

  • Step 2 of 4: Fix what it got wrong

    Errors those answers expose, such as a retired product line or clashing descriptions, are corrected on your site and listings, and organisation and service schema goes in. In our GEO work generally, corrections of this kind are usually the quickest to be reflected.

  • Step 3 of 4: Bring the detail forward

    Next, the documentation and evidence behind your strongest differentiators move onto clear pages, and trade press work begins: the slower strand, building over the following months.

  • Step 4 of 4: Reread and compare monthly

    Each month the same prompts go back to Claude and every answer is checked for accuracy against the last, showing whether your description and your standing beside rivals are improving.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Among much else, research in depth, analysis and decision-making, often by professionals weighing up options. That matters commercially: when a buyer asks Claude to assess suppliers for a B2B service or another considered purchase, its description of you can shape the shortlist.

For your visibility, mainly in emphasis. Both reward consistent facts and credible coverage elsewhere. ChatGPT's search draws on Bing's index, so work for it starts with crawling and indexing; Claude favours depth and nuance, so work for it leans on how fully your pages and documentation explain what you do.

By putting a fixed set of your buyers' evaluation prompts to Claude every month, rather than asking it about you by name. A direct question shows what Claude knows about you; an evaluation prompt shows whether it brings you up unprompted when someone compares suppliers, which is the mention that counts.

Yes, as a tool; that is what Claude SEO skills and tools are for. We use AI tools, Claude among them, to test visibility and speed up drafting, with senior people deciding. Claude optimisation is the other job, improving what Claude tells buyers about you, so ask any Claude SEO agency which job it does.

There is no settled answer: it depends on the task, and the platforms change monthly. For your business the useful question is narrower: when someone asks Claude to evaluate suppliers like you, is its account accurate and complete? Our work can improve that, though nobody can guarantee what Claude says.

It varies, and about your business it can only be as accurate as its material. Where your site, listings and outside coverage disagree, or say little, the conflicting or missing detail can leave its description vague or wrong. Making that material consistent and complete is the core of Claude optimisation.
