ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite pages they can fetch. Clear name, real sentences, and a public URL beat a page made of images only.
Answer engines (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT with search, Perplexity, Copilot) do not rank a biolink the way a 2014 SEO blog did. They fetch pages, extract entities, and quote sources they trust. If your public page is only a photo and icon buttons with no text, there is almost nothing to cite. If it has a name, a one-sentence bio, and a few labeled links, it can at least be understood.
What models actually see
- The HTML title and meta description. Empty titles like a raw slug waste the citation.
- Visible text: name, bio, button labels. Not text burned only into a JPEG.
- Structured facts on the marketing site (FAQ, help, this blog). Your profile is the entity; Lumyly.com is the product definition.
Lumyly sets a fallback title such as Your name · Lumyly when you did not fill custom SEO fields, and it exposes product facts on the homepage FAQ, /llms.txt, and this blog. That is for the platform. Your job on the profile is still: a human-readable name and a sentence a model (or a tired follower) can repeat.
Practical rules for creators
- Write the display name the way people search you. Not a private nickname only your friends know.
- Put a real bio in the header, not only a mood emoji.
- Label buttons with the destination (YouTube, Shop, Booking), not “Click here”.
- Do not hide the whole page behind a password if you want to be found. Password walls are for private drops.
- Adult work belongs on lumyly.art. Do not expect lumyly.com marketing copy to describe an age-gated profile. Read the two domains.
What not to do
Do not publish twenty thin “AI SEO” pages. Do not stuff keywords into the bio. Do not claim ChatGPT will mention you. Nobody can sell that. Clear pages plus a product site that tells the truth are the whole strategy. More context: what a link in bio is.
