How to Check If AI Recommends Your Brand

Traditional SEO is about ranking for keywords. LLM Optimization (LLMO) is about being part of the synthesized answer. Here is how to measure it.

The Shift from Search to Synthesis

When a user asks Google "best CRM for startups", they get a list of links. When they ask ChatGPT, they get a recommendation. If your brand is not in that recommendation, you lose visibility at decision time.

Methodology for Manual Auditing

To understand your current standing, you need to simulate real buying prompts across multiple models and log outcomes consistently.

Identify Transactional Intent: Use prompts like "best [product] for [use case]" instead of only brand-name queries.
Check Multiple Models: GPT, Claude, and Gemini can rank brands differently.
Score Recommendation Quality: Track mention position, sentiment, and context.

Next Step

Turn this framework into a repeatable workflow. Run your prompts, benchmark competitors, and track visibility trends in one workspace.
