The challenge

Why LLM SEO needs its own measurement

Search rankings and AI answers are different outcomes. These are the gaps that keep brands out of model answers.

Rankings don't tell you what a model says

A page can sit on page one of Google and never appear in a ChatGPT or Gemini answer. Classic rank tracking can't see the answer, the brands named in it or the sources behind it.

Every model answers differently

The same prompt returns different brands on different models. Optimising for one assistant and assuming the rest follow leaves most of the answer surface unmeasured.

Models can only use what their crawlers can read

Pages rendered by JavaScript, blocked in robots.txt or missing structured data are hard for AI crawlers to use, however good the writing is.

Tactics without a feedback loop

Most LLM SEO advice is a checklist. Without a baseline and a measured re-run, nobody can say whether the change moved the answer.

The solution

How WriteWorks runs LLM SEO

Measure the answer, find the cited sources, fix crawler access, ship the content, then measure again.

Track the prompts your buyers ask and see, for each AI platform, whether you are mentioned, where you sit in the answer and who is named instead. Visibility is the share of answers that mention you.

Featured story

“Honestly, the jobs board looked fine in a browser, so we never questioned it. The audit showed that only 5% of our job pages gave crawlers real content. We moved the listings into the server HTML, and the re-audit came back at 100%. The typical job page now carries 73% of its content before any JavaScript runs, and we're working through the rest.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams typically ask before getting started.

What is LLM SEO?+
LLM SEO is optimising your brand and content so large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention, cite and recommend you in their answers. It covers what the models say (measured with tracked prompts), what they can read (crawler access, rendering, structured data) and what they find worth citing (clear, specific, answer-first content).
How is LLM SEO different from traditional SEO?+
Traditional SEO measures rankings and clicks on a results page. LLM SEO measures whether a model includes you in a single generated answer, and which sources it uses to build that answer. Much of the groundwork overlaps (crawlable pages, structured data, authority), but the outcome you track is the answer, not the position.
Which AI platforms does WriteWorks track?+
WriteWorks covers 10+ AI platforms. Coverage depends on the plan: Starter tracks ChatGPT; Growth tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode; Enterprise and agency plans track every platform, including Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, Grok and Brave AI.
How often are answers captured?+
Tracked prompts are captured daily. Citation history is shown in weekly buckets, so you can line a content change up against what happened to citations afterwards.
Is there an LLM SEO checklist in the product?+
The AI discoverability crawl acts as the technical checklist: bot access and robots.txt, raw HTML versus rendered content, structured data, answer-first structure, response time and freshness signals, each with the affected pages and a fix.
How is this page different from the ChatGPT SEO page?+
The ChatGPT SEO page covers one assistant. LLM SEO is the cross-model method: the same prompts measured on every engine your plan includes, so you can see where one model cites you and another doesn't.

Track the prompts that matter, see which models mention you and which sources they cite, then ship the fixes and content that change the answer.
