Clinks scores 31/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Clinks has a weak AI-visibility profile at 31/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (53/100) and its weakest is visibility (20/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #697,513 (Tranco) and a Moz Domain Authority of 47/100. The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check, Claude could already identify Clinks from memory (October 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
