Setting up your first site analysis

Welcome to Cleversearch! This guide will walk you through setting up your first site analysis to start optimizing your content for AI citations.

Overview

Site analysis is the foundation of LLM optimization. Our AI-powered system crawls your website, analyzes your content structure, and provides actionable recommendations to improve your visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini responses.

Step 1: Add Your Website

**Navigate to Dashboard**: After logging in, click "Add New Site" on your dashboard

**Enter Site URL**: Input your website's primary domain (e.g., https://yoursite.com)

**Verify Ownership**: We'll provide several verification methods:

- HTML file upload

- Meta tag insertion

- DNS record verification

- Google Analytics integration

Step 2: Configure Analysis Settings

Content Types

Select which content types to analyze:

**Blog posts and articles** (recommended)

**Product pages** (for e-commerce)

**Service pages** (for B2B)

**FAQ sections** (highly recommended)

**About and company pages**

Analysis Depth

Choose your analysis level:

**Quick Scan**: Analyzes up to 100 pages (great for testing)

**Standard Analysis**: Up to 1,000 pages (recommended for most sites)

**Deep Analysis**: Up to 10,000 pages (for large sites)

Step 3: Install Tracking

To monitor real-time performance, install our tracking script:

<script>
  (function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
  new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
  j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
  'https://cdn.llmoptimizer.com/tracker.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
  })(window,document,'script','llmDataLayer','YOUR_SITE_ID');
</script>

(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':

new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],

j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=

'https://cdn.llmoptimizer.com/tracker.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);

})(window,document,'script','llmDataLayer','YOUR_SITE_ID');

</script>

Add this script to your site's `<head>` section. Replace `YOUR_SITE_ID` with the ID provided in your dashboard.

Step 4: Review Initial Results

After 24-48 hours, you'll receive:

LLM Readiness Score

**Overall score** (0-100)

**Content structure** rating

**AI-friendliness** assessment

**Citation potential** analysis

Detailed Recommendations

**High-priority fixes** (immediate impact)

**Content improvements** (medium-term)

**Technical optimizations** (long-term)

Step 5: Implement Recommendations

Start with high-priority recommendations:

**Fix structural issues** (missing headings, poor formatting)

**Add FAQ sections** (highest ROI for LLM citations)

**Optimize meta descriptions** (improve AI understanding)

**Enhance content depth** (comprehensive coverage beats shallow content)

Common Issues and Solutions

**Solution**:

Check robots.txt file

Ensure XML sitemap is accessible

Fix broken internal links

Improve page load speeds

Next Steps

Once your initial analysis is complete:

**Review the recommendations** in priority order

**Implement high-impact changes** first

**Monitor your LLM Readiness Score** improvements

**Set up automated monitoring** for ongoing optimization
