How LLMO Analysis Works

The LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) Analyzer evaluates your content through the lens of how AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews select and cite sources. Unlike traditional SEO tools that focus on keyword rankings, LLMO analysis examines the factors that make AI systems trust and reference your content.

Optimization Recommendations

Every LLMO analysis includes prioritized recommendations tailored to your specific content. Here's how to use them effectively.

💡 Implementation Strategy

  1. 1. Start with HIGH priority items—they deliver the most impact
  2. 2. Batch similar changes together (e.g., update all author bios at once)
  3. 3. Re-analyze after implementing changes to verify improvement
  4. 4. Use IndexNow to notify search engines of your updates

Content Structure Best Practices

Content structure is one of the most important factors for AI visibility. Well-structured content is easier for AI systems to parse, understand, and cite accurately.

Heading Hierarchy

Bad Structure

H1: My Article
H3: First Point
H2: Introduction
H4: Details
H2: Conclusion

Skips levels, illogical order

Good Structure

H1: My Article
H2: Introduction
H2: First Point
H3: Details
H2: Conclusion

Clear hierarchy, logical flow

Answer-First Writing

AI systems extract answers from content. Structure your writing to provide clear, direct answers early in each section.

❌ Buried Answer

"When considering the various factors that contribute to website performance, including server response time, asset optimization, and content delivery methods, it's important to note that page speed generally should be under 3 seconds."

✅ Direct Answer

"Your page should load in under 3 seconds. This is influenced by server response time, asset optimization, and content delivery methods."

Use of Lists and Tables

Lists and tables are highly AI-friendly formats. They're easy to parse and often appear directly in AI responses.

When to Use Each Format

FormatBest ForExample

Numbered ListSteps, rankings, processesHow-to guides
TableComparisons, specifications, dataPricing plans
