Deconstructing the Cohesion Score™
The Alargo Cohesion Score™ is more than just a number; it's a comprehensive measure of a brand's visibility and consistency in the AI era. Here’s a transparent look at the high-quality ingredients that power our proprietary score.
Live Website Crawl
The foundation of AI visibility is a technically sound website. Our platform performs a live crawl to analyze the on-page signals that are essential for AI comprehension. We don't just check for presence; we validate the quality and implementation of these critical assets.
- Schema.org Markup: We validate the presence and accuracy of key structured data like `LocalBusiness`, `Organization`, and `FAQPage`.
- Sitemap & Robots Files: We check for a valid `sitemap.xml` and an accessible `robots.txt` to ensure crawlers can find and index important content.
- Brand Briefs: We look for machine-readable files like `.well-known/brand_brief.txt` that provide direct, authoritative facts to AI models.
LLM Answer Agreement
A brand is only as strong as its consistency. We query the latest live models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic with a strategic set of questions to measure how consistently they describe the brand. Inconsistent answers are a major red flag that can erode trust with potential customers.
- Brand Identity: Do all models agree on the official brand name and core business category?
- Service Offerings: Is there consensus on the key products or services the business provides?
- Audience & Location: Do the AIs correctly identify the target audience and physical location?
Search Engine Signals
AI models rely heavily on search engines as a primary source of truth. Our platform integrates with Google Search Console to incorporate crucial signals about how a brand is perceived and indexed by the world's leading search engine.
- Indexing Status: Are key pages being successfully indexed and ranked by Google?
- Keyword Authority: Is the brand ranking for its most important, relevant keywords?
- Technical Health: Does GSC report any critical errors related to mobile usability or structured data?
