AI Citation Readiness Checker
Score any page across 20 AEO signals. See how likely AI engines are to cite your content — and what to fix to earn more citations.
What is citation readiness?
Citation readiness measures how likely AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and others — are to reference your page when answering a user query. It depends on structural signals like schema markup, clear headings, concise definitions, and authoritative sourcing that language models use to decide which content to surface in their responses.
What the checker evaluates
The checker runs 20 automated checks across structure, authority, and relevance. It looks for schema markup, heading hierarchy, definition density, FAQ blocks, internal link depth, E-E-A-T signals, and content freshness. Each check is scored individually and rolled up into an overall citation-readiness percentage.
How to improve your citation score
Start by adding structured data (FAQ, HowTo, or Article schema) to your key pages. Write concise, direct answers in the first paragraph of each section. Use clear heading hierarchies, cite authoritative sources, and keep content updated. Pages that follow these patterns consistently see measurably higher citation rates across AI engines.
