# LLMRank — AI Visibility Optimizer

> LLMRank is an AI visibility optimizer that audits any website for how it is read, ranked and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude. Get a 5-dimension AI score, prioritized fixes and content briefs to win in AI search.

This document is the long-form, machine-readable description of LLMRank for large language
models, AI answer engines and other automated systems. It is intentionally formatted in plain
Markdown with no JavaScript, no images and no client-side rendering, so it can be ingested cleanly
by crawlers such as GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot,
Applebot-Extended and others.

## 1. What is LLMRank?

LLMRank is a hosted SaaS that audits any website for visibility in AI answer engines.
Traditional SEO tools optimize for blue-link rankings on Google. LLMRank optimizes for the new
generation of AI search systems — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude — that
read a small set of trusted sources and synthesize answers with citations.

LLMRank answers three questions for any URL:

1. Can AI answer engines crawl, parse and trust this page?
2. Is this page structured to be cited when a user asks about a target keyword?
3. What concrete changes will most improve AI visibility, ranked by impact and effort?

## 2. How it works

LLMRank is fully hosted. There is no script, plugin or DNS change to install. The workflow:

1. The user enters a URL and a target keyword (or topic) they want to be cited for.
2. LLMRank crawls up to N pages of the site (3 on Free, unlimited on Pro), respecting robots.
3. Each page is parsed for semantic HTML, headings, structured data (schema.org / JSON-LD),
   internal linking, canonicals, sitemaps, robots policies and topical entities.
4. LLMRank probes the major AI models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI
   Overviews) with citation-eliciting prompts to measure real-world AI visibility for the target
   keyword.
5. Each page is scored 0–100 across five dimensions:
   - **Crawlability** — robots, sitemaps, render-ability, status codes, JavaScript dependencies.
   - **Technical health** — canonicals, metadata, headings, image alts, link health.
   - **Content depth** — topical coverage, entity coverage, intent match, originality signals.
   - **AI visibility** — direct citation rate across major AI engines for the target keyword.
   - **Authority** — structured data, schema completeness, trust signals.
6. The user receives a prioritized recommendation list ranked by impact and effort, plus
   AI-optimized content briefs (outlines, schema, entities, FAQ blocks) for any new page.

## 5. Frequently asked questions

### What does AI visibility mean?
AI visibility measures how well AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews,
Gemini and Claude can crawl, understand, trust and cite your content when answering user
questions. LLMRank scores it across crawlability, technical health, content depth, AI
visibility and authority.

### How many pages do you crawl?
Up to 3 pages per audit on the free tier. Pro plans crawl unlimited pages per audit and unlock
scheduled re-audits, multi-region scans and competitor deep-dives.

### Do I need to install anything?
No. There is nothing to install — no plugins, no JavaScript snippets and no DNS changes. Enter a
URL and a target keyword and LLMRank performs the crawling, parsing and scoring for you.

### Will this work for any kind of site?
Yes. LLMRank works for marketing sites, blogs, documentation, ecommerce stores and SaaS apps
— anywhere AI answer engines might cite your content.

### Which AI engines does LLMRank optimize for?
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude. LLMRank uses the same
crawling and answer-engine signals these systems rely on, including robots policies, structured
data, semantic HTML, citations and entity coverage.

### How is this different from traditional SEO tools?
Traditional SEO tools optimize for blue-link rankings on Google. LLMRank optimizes for AI
answer engines that cite a small set of trusted sources. It scores how cleanly LLMs can read,
summarize and quote your pages — not just keyword density and backlinks.

### How does pricing work?
Credit-based. Free includes a small number of lifetime audits. Pro is
$29.99/month and includes 1,000
credits per cycle plus unlimited projects. Top-up packs (Starter, Growth, Pro Pack) are one-time
purchases and credits never expire.
