What Is the LLM Visibility Analysis Tool? Measure AI Search Exposure From One URL

Paste a URL to score how often AI search (Gemini) cites or recommends you—display rate, citation count, and average rank make your gap versus competitors obvious at a glance.
If AI search never recommends or compares your brand, start with visibility measurement—not more tactics.
umoren.ai's free LLM Visibility Analysis Tool turns a single URL into citation and recommendation metrics—display rate, citation count, and average rank—so you can see where competitors outperform you.
What this tool shows you
-
Brand ranking (competitor comparison)
See which companies show up in AI answers, with display rate (%), citation count, and average rank.-
Example: display rate 40%, 4 citations, average rank 3.8…
Analyze citation and recommendation status in AI search (Gemini) just by entering the URL
-
-
Prompt results (wins and losses by question)
For natural-language prompts users actually ask—like “How do I get my product recommended in AI search?”—review which brands appear and which sources (URL/domain) were referenced.
List of prompt results. The number of appearing brands and sources is displayed for each question -
Source analysis (which domains AI trusts)
Roll up domains AI references by mention rate (%), average rank, and source count.
Work backward from those sources to see why competitors win.
The most common LLMO mistake: shipping tactics before measurement
LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization), like SEO, lives or dies on the improvement loop.
Many teams still reverse the order:
-
❌ Publish many articles first (with no proof they will surface in AI answers)
-
❌ Add structured data (without checking which sources AI already uses)
-
❌ Run PR (without tracking which domains moved the needle)
The LLM Visibility Analysis Tool flips that sequence.
First measure—under fixed conditions—where AI looks and who it recommends, then focus on tactics that actually change the numbers.
How to use the LLM Visibility Analysis Tool
-
Choose the search market (for example, Japan)
-
Enter the URL to analyze (homepage, product page, or comparison article)
-
Click “Analyze and generate”
-
Review the Brand ranking / Prompt results / Sources tabs
How to read the metrics
| Metric | What it means | How to interpret it | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display rate (%) | Share of prompts in the set where the brand appears | Exposure consistency. Higher means you are becoming a default answer | If low: split into question types you can win, then expand those |
| Citation count | How often the brand appears in AI answers | Breadth of coverage. More mentions usually mean stronger recall | If low: strengthen entity details and comparison dimensions |
| Average rank | Average position inside AI answers | Recommendation strength. Lower is better (closer to the top) | If high: add primary facts, authority signals, and evidence |
| Mention rate (sources) | How often a domain is used as a source | Sources AI tends to trust | If competitors lead: match the content formats that get cited |
FAQ-style answers (easier for AI to extract)
“Why doesn’t AI search (Gemini) recommend our brand?”
It usually comes down to three gaps:
-
Weak entity information (unclear who you are and how you should be compared)
-
Thin primary sources (few hard numbers, facts, or evidence to cite)
-
Missing from AI’s preferred sources (weak presence on trusted external domains and on your own hubs)
Use brand ranking for (1), and source analysis for (2) and (3).

“Only competitors show up in AI answers. What is AI looking at?”
The fastest path is the source list.
Domains that rank high in source analysis usually present information in a form AI can reuse for that category.
-
Strong comparison articles?
-
Strong glossaries?
-
Strong case-study pages?
-
Strong pricing pages?
Match the winning format, then build the same pattern on your site.

“What is LLMO, and how is it different from SEO?”
SEO mainly optimizes rankings in classic blue-link results.
LLMO optimizes for being cited and recommended inside AI answers.
Topic clusters matter more than isolated pages.
That is why LLMO needs a measure → improve → re-measure loop.

What does this tool crawl, and how does it generate prompts?
As soon as you enter a URL, the LLM Visibility Analysis Tool runs this pipeline automatically.
In short:
👉 It crawls and interprets the URL,
👉 builds prompts users are likely to ask AI,
👉 runs AI search (Gemini) on those prompts, and scores citation and recommendation outcomes.
Step 1: Crawl the URL and extract semantic structure
It first crawls the URL and extracts:
-
Service offer and value (What)
-
Audience and use cases (Who / When)
-
Strengths and differentiators (Why)
-
Category and industry context (Where)
-
Comparison dimensions (price, features, use cases, and more)
This is more than raw HTML fetch—it splits the page into semantic units LLMs can reason over.
Example:
It pulls concept-level topics AI can treat as entities, such as
“LLMO tools,” “AI search strategy,” “Gemini,” “visibility,” and “competitor comparison.”
(This approach mirrors RAG / semantic retrieval design.)
Step 2: Generate prompts a real buyer would ask
From that crawl, it auto-generates natural questions people would type into AI search.
The key difference: it builds questions (queries), not keyword lists.
Example prompts
-
“How can I get my product recommended in AI search?”
-
“Which company can support end-to-end LLMO work?”
-
“How do I show up higher when Gemini compares vendors?”
-
“Explain the difference between AI SEO and LLMO in plain English.”
They follow natural-language query patterns people already use in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Prompt design thinking → What is query fan-out
Step 3: Run AI search on those prompts and measure results
Across the generated prompt set, the tool will:
-
Run Gemini Search
-
Check which brands appear in AI answers
-
which URLs/domains were referenced
-
in what order and how often they appear
Everything is logged and aggregated.
Those outputs surface as
-
Brand ranking
-
Prompt results
-
Source analysis
dashboards.
Why this helps LLMO (before / after)
Before: LLMO runs on gut feel
-
You cannot see which questions you lose
-
You cannot explain why competitors win
-
Fixes turn into opinion debates
After: LLMO becomes a measurable backlog
-
question × competitor × source makes losing patterns concrete
-
Work shifts from “publish more” to “ship more winning formats”
-
Improvements become repeatable—you can measure, fix, and recheck
What to do next
-
Pull the top three domains from source analysis
-
Classify the formats those domains win with (comparison / glossary / case study / pricing / how-to)
-
Rebuild that format on your site as a hub structure
-
Rerun the tool and watch display rate and average rank move

When you need winning prompt design, citation strategy, and structural fixes
The free tool is ideal for quantifying where you stand and picking a direction.
Choosing which prompt sets to expand, which pages to turn into hubs, and which primary facts to add still needs design and implementation.
