# LLMention

> LLMention is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) scanner. It audits whether
> AI search engines and LLM crawlers can access, parse and cite a website, and it
> generates the /llms.txt context file that those crawlers read.

LLMention is a free web tool for developers, SEO teams and marketing teams who
need to know whether their site is readable by generative search engines such as
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. It reports crawl blocks,
missing context files and structural issues that stop a page from being quoted in
an AI-generated answer, and produces a shareable readiness score.

## Core capabilities

- [AI Crawler Passability](https://geo-scanner.ccie13192.com/): Scans robots.txt
  and WAF rules to verify that GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider and
  other AI crawler user-agents are not blocked.
- [llms.txt Studio](https://geo-scanner.ccie13192.com/llms-txt-studio/): Generates
  a standardized markdown context file so LLMs can digest a domain's content
  cleanly, ready to deploy at the domain root.
- [Readiness Badge](https://geo-scanner.ccie13192.com/readiness-badge/): Produces
  an embeddable real-time GEO readiness badge for GitHub READMEs and site footers.

## Documentation

- [Methodology](https://geo-scanner.ccie13192.com/methodology/): The complete scoring
  method - twelve weighted dimensions, every check with its exact rule, the A-F
