The AI assistant generates answers based on data from sources it trusts: authoritative media, professional directories, Wikipedia, official websites. If there are inaccuracies or the brand is absent, Claude either makes mistakes or ignores the company. Work starts with an audit: we ask Claude questions about your business, record discrepancies and build a source plan. Then comes placement and citation monitoring. 1. Ask Claude 10-15 questions about your business and record all answers. 2. List all discrepancies: errors, outdated data, missing mentions. 3. Identify sources that already reference your brand and assess their authority. 4. Fix data on the website, Google Business, directories and Wikidata: NAP consistency is mandatory. 5. Place mentions on authoritative industry portals, professional directories and niche media. 6. Create or update website content with clear E-E-A-T signals: experience, expertise, authority, trust. 7. Check how the assistantBot indexes your site (robots.txt, llms.txt) and remove unnecessary restrictions. 8. Set up regular monitoring: once a month ask Claude key niche questions about your business. ## How much does Claude optimization cost and what is included? ### Cost depends on current brand presence and the number of target sources The price is made up of three components: the scope of the audit and errors found, the number of placement sources and the complexity of data correction. The starter package covers the audit, fixing basic discrepancies and placement on 5-10 resources. The advanced package adds niche media work, expert publications and regular Claude answer monitoring.

Optimizing for one does not guarantee presence in another. Claude by Anthropic is especially popular among professionals, developers and corporate users: this is exactly the audience that often asks the assistant to recommend a contractor, agency or service. Separate Claude optimization ensures accurate recommendations for this high-value audience. ### Expert opinion > Claude by Anthropic is one of the leading AI assistants used by businesses and individual users.

It is work that helps the Claude AI assistant know your business accurately and recommend it in answers. We fix errors in brand data, place mentions on authoritative resources and monitor how Anthropic Claude describes your company in responses to user queries. ### How does ClaudeBot differ from GoogleBot in indexing? ClaudeBot is Anthropic's crawler for collecting training data. Unlike GoogleBot, which ranks pages, ClaudeBot looks for authoritative and accurate content to train the model. What matters is not the technical optimization of pages, but the reliability and citability of your data across the web. ### How quickly does Claude change answers after optimization? Changes in the assistant answers depend on the retraining cycle of Anthropic's model. Visible improvements typically appear within 90 days after placing authoritative mentions. Monitoring helps track the dynamics and adjust the strategy. Interim checks show which mentions the model has already picked up. ### Do you need separate Claude optimization if you already do SEO? Yes. Classical SEO optimizes pages for Google algorithms. Claude optimization works with the sources Anthropic trains on: authoritative media, directories, Wikipedia, Wikidata. These are different source sets and different logic. High Google rankings do not guarantee accurate presence in the assistant answers. ### What is brand citability in the AI-SEO context? Citability is how often and accurately your brand is mentioned in sources that AI assistants trust. The higher the citability on authoritative resources, the more likely Claude is to include your business in an answer for a relevant query. You can gauge citability by who the assistant names instead of you. ### What is llms.txt and is it needed for Claude optimization? llms.txt is a specification file that tells AI assistants which site content they may use. For Claude, it helps explicitly allow ClaudeBot access to the relevant pages and structure company data. It is a low-effort improvement with potentially high return. ### In which languages do you run the Claude optimization project? We work in Russian, Spanish and English, the three working languages of SEO7.ES studio. We deliver reports and recommendations in your preferred language and place mentions on Russian-language, Spanish and international resources. The assistant's answers are checked separately in each language, because the model answers differently in each one. ### Can Claude optimization be combined with Google ranking? Yes, and it is optimal. Some of the work overlaps: authoritative mentions, E-E-A-T content and NAP consistency improve both Google rankings and Claude answer presence. We offer combined SEO + AI-SEO packages with a synergistic effect. That way one piece of work is budgeted once. ### How do you measure the result of Claude optimization? We measure through regular testing: we ask Claude a standard set of niche questions before and after the project. We record: whether the brand is mentioned, how accurate the data is and how often it is recommended compared to competitors. A report at each control checkpoint. ### What role do Wikipedia and Wikidata play in Claude answers? Wikipedia and Wikidata are among the most cited sources for training language models, including Claude. A correct and complete Wikipedia page increases the likelihood that the AI will rely on accurate brand data. For companies with sufficient notability, it is one of the priority sources.
