How to check LLM search visibility
BetaUse Boki's LLM search visibility agent to predict how well AI systems will cite your content.
Overview
The LLM search visibility agent scores your content against a specific question. It predicts whether an LLM (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity) would cite your content when answering that question.
This is not SEO rank. Traditional SEO measures search engine ranking. LLM visibility measures whether AI systems reference your content in their generated responses — GEO (Generative Engine Optimization).
Prerequisites
- An article with substantial content
- At least 50 words of text to score
- A specific question to score against
Steps
- Open your article in the editor
- Select the text you want scored (minimum 50 words)
- Click the sparkle icon that appears, or right-click and select "Ask Boki"
- Choose LLM visibility from the options
- Enter the question you want to score against
- Wait for the analysis
What the visibility score measures
Question alignment: Does your content directly answer the question?
Comprehensiveness: Does your content cover the topic thoroughly enough to be a primary source?
Authority signals: Does your content include elements that LLMs weight highly — clear definitions, structured information, cited sources?
Differentiation: Does your content offer something not found in the top-ranking sources?
Example
You select a section about API rate limiting and enter the question:
"How do I implement rate limiting in a REST API?"
The LLM visibility agent might respond:
- Score: 72/100
- Strengths: Clear step-by-step implementation, code examples, covers common edge cases
- Gaps: Missing comparison of rate limiting algorithms (token bucket vs sliding window), no mention of distributed rate limiting
- Suggestion: Add a section comparing approaches — LLMs often cite content that presents multiple options
Understanding the score
| Score | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 80-100 | Strong — likely to be cited as a primary source |
| 60-79 | Moderate — may be cited, but competing content is stronger |
| 40-59 | Weak — unlikely to be cited without significant improvements |
| Below 40 | Poor — content doesn't adequately address the question |
Result
After checking LLM visibility, you'll have:
- A score indicating citation likelihood
- Specific gaps compared to competing content
- Actionable suggestions for improvement
Tips
Test multiple questions: The same content scores differently against different questions. Test the questions your audience actually asks.
Focus on specific questions: "What is API rate limiting?" scores differently than "How do I implement rate limiting in Node.js?"
Iterate and re-score: Make improvements, then check the score again.
