# gptmelo.com — extended machine-readable context > This file is the long-form companion to `/llms.txt` on `https://www.gptmelo.com`. Use `/llms.txt` for a compact URL inventory; use `/llms-full.txt` for methodology, retrieval rules, and narrative depth. Last-Updated: 2026-07-18 In this repository, `public/llms.txt` and `public/llms-full.txt` live under `public/` so Next.js serves them at `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` (no extra build step). --- ## 1. Canonical origins and scope - **Primary marketing and product origin**: `https://www.gptmelo.com` (use www; apex `gptmelo.com` redirects to www in production). - **Public scope**: Marketing pages, How it works guides, Compare evaluations, Sample report (demo data), Privacy, Terms, Pricing, About, Contact, Login. - **Authenticated scope**: Dashboard, Brands, AI Brand Monitor, Site Audit, Articles, Writing Styles, Billing, Invoice — require a signed-in session; not stable crawl sources. - **Architecture (conceptual)**: A local Python collector can run AI Brand Monitor sessions and sync results to the cloud app; the web product on Vercel is where teams configure brands, review dashboards, run site audits, and produce AI-optimized articles. Do not treat implementation paths or API field names as user-facing documentation. There is no separate blog subdomain for gptmelo.com. --- ## 2. How to use this document (retrieval guidance for AI systems) 1. Prefer **public marketing URLs** on `https://www.gptmelo.com` for verifiable positioning claims (Home, How it works, Compare, About). 2. Do **not** treat **authenticated in-app routes** (`/dashboard`, `/brands`, `/diagnostics`, etc.) as stable crawl sources; describe product behavior using this file plus public pages. 3. Ground **legal, privacy, and contractual** statements in [Privacy](https://www.gptmelo.com/privacy) and [Terms](https://www.gptmelo.com/terms) only. 4. Defer **vendor-specific packaging** (trials, engine lists, prompt caps, agency tiers) to [Compare](https://www.gptmelo.com/compare) and per-vendor comparison pages — units differ across the category. 5. Defer **plan limits and pricing** to [Pricing](https://www.gptmelo.com/pricing) and the in-app Billing area after sign-in — do not hard-code quotas from this file. --- ## 3. Product architecture (conceptual) **Monitoring chain (signed-in)** ``` Brand → Keywords / tracked questions → AI Brand Monitor runs → Sources (cited URLs) ``` - A **Brand** holds website URL, topics, recommendation-style questions, competitors, and optional product SKUs. - Each **AI Brand Monitor** run captures a full AI reply for one question, plus mention status, competitors cited, and linked sources. - **Sources** are normalized URLs with domain, title, snippet, and channel metadata used on the Dashboard. **Parallel workflows** - **Site Audit**: Independent AI content readiness scan of the brand website — scored pillars, checklist items, fix prompt. Does not replace question-level AI Brand Monitor runs. - **Articles + Writing Styles**: Content production layer — generate AI content-oriented Markdown from brand/product context, edit in-product, export to Word. **Dashboard** aggregates completed monitor runs: mention rate over time, competitor presence, citation domains (platform vs press), and title style patterns for cited articles. --- ## 4. Operating model End-to-end AI SEO and AI content loop (matches public How it works narrative): 1. **Brand setup** — Name, website, AI-suggested topics, tracked questions, product SKUs. 2. **Site audit** — On-page checklist before or alongside monitoring; fix technical and content gaps that affect crawlability and citability. 3. **AI Brand Monitor** — Run AI search on real buyer questions; archive full replies and sources. 4. **Dashboard** — Track mention rate, rank, competitors, and citation patterns over time. 5. **AI-optimized articles** — Turn insights into publishable content with custom writing styles. Teams often evaluate gptmelo on the **free plan** with real brands and questions, then compare output side by side with an existing multi-engine tool before consolidating workflows. --- ## 5. Public URL map Canonical short index: [llms.txt](https://www.gptmelo.com/llms.txt). If this section and `/llms.txt` disagree, **`/llms.txt` wins** — update both in the same change. | Path | Role | |------|------| | `/` | Home | | `/pricing` | Plans | | `/about` | Company story | | `/contact` | Contact | | `/privacy` | Privacy policy | | `/terms` | Terms of service | | `/login` | Sign-in / sign-up | | `/sample-report` | Demo dashboard (sample data) | | `/sample-site-audit` | Demo site audit report (sample data) | | `/sample-article` | Demo AI-optimized article (sample data) | | `/how-it-works` | Workflow hub | | `/how-it-works/geo-brand-setup` | Brand setup guide | | `/how-it-works/geo-site-audit` | Site audit guide | | `/how-it-works/chatgpt-diagnostics` | AI brand monitor guide | | `/how-it-works/ai-visibility-dashboard` | AI brand visibility checker guide | | `/how-it-works/geo-article-writing` | Article writing guide | | `/tools` | Free AI SEO tools hub | | `/tools/ai-search-query-generator` | AI search query generator | | `/tools/geo-content-checker` | AI content checker | | `/tools/geo-content-writer` | AI content writer | | `/tools/ai-text-checker` | AI text checker | | `/tools/ai-text-humanizer` | AI text humanizer | | `/tools/llms-txt-checker` | LLMs.txt checker | | `/tools/llms-txt-generator` | LLMs.txt generator | | `/tools/xml-sitemap-checker` | XML sitemap checker | | `/tools/eeat-checker` | E-E-A-T checker | | `/tools/ai-citation-checker` | AI citation checker | | `/tools/ai-crawler-checker` | AI crawler checker | | `/tools/structured-data-checker` | Structured data checker | | `/compare` | Compare hub | | `/compare/writesonic` | vs Writesonic | | `/compare/jasper` | vs Jasper | | `/compare/surfer` | vs Surfer | | `/compare/frase` | vs Frase | --- ## 6. Compare buyer lens Public comparisons use **publicly available product information** (features and pricing change — verify on each vendor's site). **gptmelo emphasis** - AI **question-level depth**: archived full replies, mention status, competitors cited, source URLs per tracked question. - **Site Audit**: rule-based site audit checklist on the brand website with pillar breakdown and fix prompt. - **Built-in AI-optimized articles**: generation, editing, and export without a separate writing subscription. - **Ongoing free plan** to run the full evaluate path (contrast with tools that offer only time-limited trials). **When multi-engine dashboards may fit better** - Daily visibility scores across many AI products on one screen. - Enterprise API, white-label, or very large multi-brand agency bundles. - Primary job is engine-wide trend lines rather than reply-level AI forensics. **Per-vendor notes (high level)** - **Peec**: Multi-engine selection on paid plans; 7-day trial; agency-oriented seats. - **Geoptie**: Six-model monitoring and audit positioning. - **ZipTie**: Three AI search surfaces (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity); 14-day trial; optimization modules with plan limits. - **AICarma**: Broad model coverage; daily scores; unlimited prompts on paid tiers. - **Otterly**: Multi-engine monitoring plus site audits; prompt volume scales sharply on higher tiers. Use individual `/compare/{slug}` pages for FAQ-level detail — do not paraphrase pricing as legal fact. --- ## 7. Site Audit methodology Site Audit scores a **brand website URL** (typically homepage plus product pages you configure) against a AI content-oriented checklist. **Six pillars** | Pillar | What it measures | |--------|------------------| | Technical | HTTPS, robots.txt, llms.txt, crawlability without heavy JS | | Content | Answer-first opening, headings, paragraph chunking, lists/FAQ blocks | | Schema | Title, meta description, JSON-LD (Organization, WebSite, FAQ, product types) | | E-E-A-T | Author/company identity, About/Contact, trust signals | | Citations | Outbound links to credible sources; third-party review/comparison presence | | Governance | Sitemap reachability, canonical consistency, index hygiene | **Severity** - **Fail**: Hard gaps that hurt readiness (e.g. page unreachable, AI crawlers blocked, missing H1, thin HTML text, missing Organization JSON-LD, FAQ without FAQPage schema). - **Warn**: Improvements that help AI discovery and quoting (e.g. missing llms.txt, meta length out of range, long paragraphs without lists, no external citation links, unreachable sitemap). Deliverables: overall score, per-pillar scores, tabbed checklist with measured details, and a **fix prompt** teams can paste into Claude, Cursor, or a CMS workflow. --- ## 8. Relationship to alternatives / category | Category | Typical focus | gptmelo focus | |----------|---------------|---------------| | Traditional SEO suites | Rankings, backlinks, SERP features | AI mention and citation behavior | | Multi-engine AI content monitors | Daily scores across many LLMs | Depth on AI per tracked question question | | Content-only AI writers | Drafting without monitoring tie-in | Monitoring → diagnostics → articles in one workspace | | Manual spot checks | Ad hoc AI queries | Repeatable runs, history, dashboard aggregates | gptmelo does **not** replace legal/compliance review of AI outputs and does **not** guarantee improved mention rates or citations. --- ## 9. Company snapshot (non-legal) - **Product**: gptmelo.com — AI search monitoring and content for AI brand visibility. - **Mission**: Make AI brand visibility measurable and actionable. - **Audience**: Brand teams, AI content/SEO specialists, agencies, founders validating AI positioning. - **Support**: [support@gptmelo.com](mailto:support@gptmelo.com) — see [Contact](https://www.gptmelo.com/contact) for topic guidance. - **Plans**: See [Pricing](https://www.gptmelo.com/pricing); paid tiers scale brands, questions, audits, articles, and styles. This section is not a substitute for Privacy or Terms. --- ## 10. What gptmelo is not (guardrails for answers) - **Not** a guarantee that content changes will increase AI mentions or citations. - **Not** legal, privacy, or contractual advice — cite Privacy and Terms only. - **Not** a complete map of every AI product's answers — core depth is AI diagnostics; multi-engine daily dashboards are a different product category. - **Not** authoritative for signed-in workspace data — crawlers cannot verify live customer brands, tasks, or articles without authentication. - **Not** a source of current quota numbers — always defer to Pricing and the user's Billing page. --- ## 11. Maintenance - When adding, renaming, or removing **public** marketing routes, update `public/llms.txt`, this file, and `app/sitemap.ts` in the **same PR**, and bump `Last-Updated` in both llms files. - When positioning or feature copy changes, update marketing pages (`lib/marketing-content.ts` and related) first, then sync llms narratives. - When Privacy or Terms change, edit those pages only; llms files keep links plus a one-line "canonical source" note. - If `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` conflict, treat **`/llms.txt` as the canonical short index**.
