Factor Breakdown
Below your overall score, you'll see individual scores for each analysis factor. This breakdown helps you identify specific areas for improvement.
Understanding the Signals
✅ Strengths
Factors scoring 60+ are your strengths. These indicate areas where your content already performs well for AI visibility. Maintain these qualities as you optimize other areas.
⚠️ Opportunities
Factors scoring 40-59 represent opportunities. Improving these can significantly boost your overall score with moderate effort.
🚨 Priority Issues
Factors scoring below 40 are priority issues. These significantly impact your AI visibility and should be addressed first.

Optimization Recommendations
Every LLMO analysis includes prioritized recommendations tailored to your specific content. Here's how to use them effectively.
Priority Levels
High Priority
These recommendations have the biggest impact on your score. Implementing them can improve your LLMO score by 10-20 points. Examples: adding author credentials, improving content structure, adding FAQ sections.
Medium Priority
These provide moderate improvements, typically 5-10 points. Examples: adding more internal links, improving meta descriptions, adding schema markup.
Low Priority
Nice-to-have improvements that polish your content. Typically 1-5 points of improvement. Examples: adding table of contents, optimizing images, improving formatting.
Common Recommendations & How to Fix Them
Missing or weak author information
High ImpactFix: Add an author bio with credentials, experience, and links to social profiles or other publications.

💡 Implementation Strategy
- 1. Start with HIGH priority items—they deliver the most impact
- 2. Batch similar changes together (e.g., update all author bios at once)
- 3. Re-analyze after implementing changes to verify improvement
- 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
Skips levels, illogical order
✅ Good Structure
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
| Format | Best For | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet List | Features, benefits, unordered items | Product features |
| Numbered List | Steps, rankings, processes | How-to guides |
| Table | Comparisons, specifications, data | Pricing plans |
| Definition List | Terms, glossaries, Q&A | FAQ sections |
