Google ranks pages.
LLMs recognize entities.

That’s the shift nobody in SEO is prepared for.

In an LLM-driven world, the core question isn’t:
“Where do I rank?”

It’s:
“Does the model recognize me at all?”

Recognition depends on:

• identity coherence

• conceptual stability

• cross-platform presence

• unique linguistic fingerprint

• relational clarity

• consistent topic association

If the model can't reconstruct you,
you effectively don’t exist in its cognitive space.

Recognition is binary:
either the model can infer you, or it can’t.

Visibility becomes synonymous with ontological presence.
