How to use this report 4 ways to use these figures

- **Price check.** BV puts one new followed link from claude.ai at $148 (level C): $74 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $185 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A quote far above $185 for a level C link pays for what BV does not measure. · [Backlink value](https://mxverify.uk/publications/claude.ai#value) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#use)
- **Qualification and risk.** Its Site Strength is 90 / 100; it is an AI assistant, not a publication: the links it gives are listings, profiles or user posts (level C). The spam score of its links is 7 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not claude.ai's own. · [How BV is worked out](https://mxverify.uk/publications/claude.ai#bv-detail) · [what this means](https://mxverify.uk/guide#levels)
- **Traffic reality check.** Set any traffic claim beside the Aug 2026 estimate: 950.2M monthly visits, 12% from organic search (117.4M). Visits rose 0.4% from Jun 2026 to Aug 2026.

How BV is worked out Site Strength 90 / 100 · level C · each factor and link type

A followed editorial link from claude.ai would be worth up to $1,477 under BV 2.7, before relevance: its Site Strength is 90 out of 100. The link it usually gives is a listing, profile or user post (level C), since claude.ai is an AI assistant — worth about $148 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $74 and $185.

- **Site Strength**: **90** / 100, in steps of 5 · half the site's authority rating, half its organic traffic on a log scale; 100 is the strongest site on the web. Traffic: 117.4M estimated monthly organic visits, as of 30 September 2026.
- **Worth up to**: $1,477 · a followed editorial link at this strength, before relevance (×0.5 unrelated to ×1.25 same topic) — see [how it is calculated](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value#how)
- **Usual link type**: Level C — usually neutralised → ×0.1 claude.ai is an AI assistant, not a publication: nobody buys or earns an article on it, so the links a site can get there are listings, profiles or user posts — level C. The table below lists the links it can give, and what each is worth.
- **Relevance to your site**: ×1 · neutral here; in an audit it runs from ×0.5 (unrelated) to ×1.25 (same topic)
- **BV score**: **$148** per link
- **Domain registered**: 4 August 2018 · shown for context; BV does not price on age, but a domain registered in the last 30 days is never priced as not in Google

### A link from claude.ai, by the kind of link it can give

claude.ai is an AI assistant, not a publication, so the links it gives are not articles. These are the ones it can give, on the same A–D scale, at its strength.

| Link | What it is | Level | Value |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Featured by the company | The company's own blog or documentation links to you — rare. | A · ×1 | $1,477 |
| Shared conversation page | A conversation someone published as a public page — user-made, like a forum post. | C · ×0.1 | $148 |
| Cited in an answer | Not a backlink: a reader may click it, but it is not a page search engines crawl, so it passes no link equity. What it brings is visits. | Not a backlink | $0 |

How claude.ai links out: the full reading the site did not let our reader in

We could not read claude.ai's pages when it was valued on 30 September 2026 — the site blocked our reader or did not answer — so its link type is set by fixed rules until a later reading succeeds.

- **#42** global rank

- **6m 02s** time on site

**Every channel**

- Social 5.2%
- AI assistants 2.7%
- Email 2.1%
- Paid 0.4%

Share of all visits. Organic search is highlighted: it is the traffic BV prices on.

**Top search keywords**

| Keyword | Searches / mo | CPC | Ad value / mo | Visits (est.) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [claude](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/claude) | 38.8M | $0.71 | $27.6M | 41.1M |
| [claude ai](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/claude-ai) | 15.2M | $0.62 | $9.4M | 18.4M |
| [cloude](https://mxverify.uk/keywords/cloude) | 2.2M | $0.71 | $1.5M | 2.1M |

Ad value: what a month of the keyword's searches would cost as search ads (searches × cost per click) — what advertisers pay for it, not how hard it is to rank for. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on this site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money. Each keyword opens the list of sites where it is a top search keyword.

### AI assistants

AI assistants sent about **25.6M** visits in Aug 2026 — 2.7% of all visits. Each assistant's share of those visits, by month:

ChatGPT: Jun 2026 55%, Jul 2026 43%, Aug 2026 80%; Gemini: Jun 2026 9.5%, Jul 2026 9.2%, Aug 2026 15%; Perplexity: Jun 2026 3.9%, Jul 2026 4.7%, Aug 2026 4.3%

Limitations: what this report does not show 4 stated plainly

- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- A link that is followed is not necessarily a link search engines value; this record does not measure rankings or traffic.
- The BV score is what one new followed link from claude.ai is worth to rankings, from its Site Strength and the kind of link on offer. It is not a price, and it does not predict what a link will do for a particular site: relevance to that site moves it between half and one and a quarter times.
- Traffic figures come from a third-party traffic source, named with its date in the evidence box above; no one outside a site sees its analytics.
