Quick Start
To get started with LLM optimizer, you need to complete the onboarding process as detailed in the steps presented below. After you complete the process you will have full access to LLM Optimizer’s dashboards and other functionalities.
Onboarding overview
The onboarding process starts with onboarding your domain. The process is different depending on whether you are an AEM Cloud customer or not. After you complete the process, you will need to provide information for CDN Log Forwarding and finally customize categories, topics, and prompts. Each part of the process is detailed below along with helpful tips on how to get started with LLM Optimizer as soon as possible.
Step 1: Onboard your domain
Try Before you buy
AEM Cloud (Cloud Service,Managed Services, Edge Delivery Service) customers have the option to use the the Try Before You Buy offer. It is a free trial version of LLM Optimizer with up to 200 free prompts. Use of more than 200 prompts requires a separate license agreement. Access is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis, and may be modified, limited or removed by Adobe at any time.
There are some product capabilities that are not available in the free version:
- Trial is limited to one domain. You will not be able to change the domain you provided after completing the setup.
- Support to deploy optimizations will not be available.
See the section below for details on how to activate the free trial version and onboard your domain.
AEM Cloud Customers
If you are an AEM Cloud Customers you have the option to try LLM Optimizer by using the Product Announcement card in Experience Hub.
Once you click the Try LLM Optimizer button, you will be redirected to https://llmo.now. You will then be required to log in via IMS. Once you log in you will start the onboarding process by providing a domain and the brand name.
To trigger the Brand Presence Analysis, you will need to provide categories, topics, and prompts.
Additionally, you also need to configure CDN log forwarding for traffic analysis. LLM Optimizer requires Brand Presence data and insights from agentic and referral traffic to identify opportunities and to provide prescriptive recommendations in order to boost AI-visibility.
Non-AEM Cloud Customers
Once the business agreement has been finalized, you will be onboarded with the domain you would like to onboard on LLM Optimizer. Once this onboarding is complete, you will be able to log in to LLM Optimizer via https://llmo.now.
Step 2: Customize Categories, Topics, and Prompts
In order to trigger the Brand Presence analysis, and populate the dashboard with insights into your brand visibility, you need to customize Categories, Topics, and Prompts. This configuration is created on the customer configuration dashboard.
From this dashboard, you can:
- Add new categories that align with your business priorities. Categories can be broad content areas relevant to your domain.
- Enter custom topics or subtopics you want tracked. Topics can be specific themes tied to high volume non-branded keywords associated with your domain.
- Create your prompts to monitor visibility in specific queries. Prompts are queries (branded and non-branded) that provide a baseline visibility. Only a limited number of prompts will be automatically generated based on the categories and topics that you provided.
- Define mention aliases to ensure all mentions of a brand are captured and accounted for.
- Define other aliases to track other brands accurately.
Step 3: Automatic Pre-population of Insights
Once your domain is onboarded and you have provided categories, and topics, LLM Optimizer will automatically trigger the Brand Presence analysis.
Step 4: Provide information for CDN Log Forwarding step-4
To unlock Agentic Traffic and Referral Traffic insights, you need to provide information for CDN log forwarding. It can be added from the customer configuration dashboard by navigating to the CDN Configuration tab and clicking Onboard CDN.
Alternatively, if no CDN provider has been added beforehand (as described above), you will be prompted to add CDN log forwarding when accessing the Agentic and Referral Traffic dashboards for the first time. For more details, see:
Step 5: Explore Dashboards and Take Action
After you provide information for CDN Log Forwarding, you can:
- View the Brand Presence dashboard and view your visibility score and track your performance relative to other brands.
- Explore the Agentic and Referral Traffic dashboards, if CDN log forwading has been configured.
- Use Opportunities to identify content and technical improvements.
- Export data and collaborate your team or invite your co-worker to use the product.
Finally, to fully understand the capabilities of LLM Optimizer, you should explore all available dashboards.
