Press Releases

Capxel, the AI-native data company helping enterprises expand through intelligence-driven products, today announced the general availability of LLM-LD (Large Language Model Linked Data) — the first open standard designed to make website content natively readable by AI systems, retrieval pipelines, and autonomous agents.

LLM-LD defines standardized file formats, discovery mechanisms, and conformance levels that allow any AI system to understand a website's complete content from a single index file. The specification is available under a Creative Commons BY 4.0 license at llmld.org.

As AI agents increasingly mediate how consumers discover products, services, and information, brands face a new visibility challenge. Recent industry research found that fewer than 1.2% of brand locations receive direct recommendations from leading AI assistants — not because the businesses lack quality, but because their content isn't structured for AI consumption.

LLM-LD addresses this with a standardized index file, structured entity data, knowledge graphs, product feeds, an AI Discovery Page specification, and three conformance levels from basic discoverability to full agent-readiness.

Since its launch, LLM-LD has seen rapid adoption across multiple industries including healthcare, luxury retail, professional services, and e-commerce. The companion LLM Disco Network (llmdisco.com) has attracted implementation partners across the agency ecosystem.

LLM-LD is free and open. Any developer, agency, or platform can implement it without licensing fees or vendor lock-in. Capxel provides enterprise-grade implementation services for brands requiring managed deployment, ongoing optimization, and performance analytics.

Capxel, the AI-native data company helping enterprises expand through intelligence-driven products, today introduced AI Search Optimization (ASO) as a defined commercial discipline — a new category of brand intelligence designed to make enterprises visible to AI agents, recommendation engines, and retrieval systems that are rapidly displacing traditional search.

While the digital marketing industry remains focused on optimizing for Google's 10 blue links, a fundamental shift is underway. Consumers are increasingly turning to AI assistants — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude — for purchasing decisions, service recommendations, and information discovery. These systems don't crawl and rank pages. They retrieve, synthesize, and recommend. And the vast majority of brands are invisible to them.

Industry data tells a stark story. SOCi's 2026 Local Visibility Index — the most comprehensive benchmark of multi-location brand performance, covering 350,000+ locations and 2,751 brands — added AI visibility as a core metric for the first time this year. Their findings: the gap between brands optimized for AI and those that aren't is already significant and accelerating.

Capxel's ASO implementation includes structured AI layers built on the open LLM-LD standard (llmld.org), machine-readable knowledge architectures, ongoing intelligence and analytics, and white-label deployment through a growing network of agency partners.

Capxel positions ASO not as a feature or add-on, but as an entirely new category of digital infrastructure — one that sits alongside SEO, paid media, and CRM as a core component of enterprise marketing architecture.
