LLM tracking is not just for SEOs. It is also relevant for content teams, agencies, marketing leadership, and communication teams. Learn why here.

LLMs are reshaping how we think of and track organic visibility, and traditional methods no longer tell the full story. This is where LLM tracking comes into play. LLM tracking shows how your brand appears in AI-generated answers, the sources they cite, and who else they surface. It gives you insight into a layer of search that traditional SEO tools do not cover.

But the insights matter to more than just SEOs. LLMs decide how to frame your brand and influence how users perceive it, touching roles across content, communications, and marketing leadership. Let us break down the functional and strategic value of LLM tracking for five functions across organizations.
