Despite obsessing over traditional SEO/GEO like keywords and meta tags, the results were mediocre. I realized the problem was my approach: I was optimizing for search indexation, when I needed a solution that actually got my content inserted into the LLM conversation. Out of frustration, I stopped. I spent the next 24 hours coding a Proof of Concept (POC) that challenges how we think about search entirely. It's called the Agent Orchestrator [GitLab]. It doesn't crawl the web. It doesn't rely on MCP "Tool Calling. Instead, it decentralizes AI, allowing businesses to answer users directly via REST API.
