Understanding Your Score
Learn how the LLMFY scoring system works and what each metric means for your content's AI visibility.
The LLMO Score (0-100)
Your LLMO Score is a comprehensive measure of how likely AI systems are to cite your content when answering relevant queries. It's calculated from 7 key factors that mirror how large language models evaluate and select sources.
What's a Good Score?
- •60+ means your content has a reasonable chance of being cited
- •75+ puts you in the top tier for AI visibility
- •85+ is exceptional—you're likely already being cited
