Position-1 click-through rate on keywords that trigger an AI Overview fell from 7.3% in December 2023 to 1.6% in December 2025, per Ahrefs. If an AI system can't find or cite your site, that traffic doesn't come back on its own. Here's how to check where your own site actually stands, in under five minutes.

What LLMScout checks

LLMScout is a CLI that runs 21 checks against any site: 12 covering technical SEO fundamentals, 9 covering GEO signals specifically for AI systems. Every check reports PASS, WARN, or FAIL, and the whole run exits with a machine-readable code, so it drops straight into CI. It ships as two distributions: an npm package with two runtime dependencies, and a Python package with zero. Neither one needs a headless browser.
