AI Citation Readiness Checker
Enter your domain to check whether your public site is ready to be cited by AI answer engines. This page checks crawlability, structured data, content clarity, and quotable evidence signals. It does not send live queries to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Google AI Overviews.
What the citation check covers
- Whether AI crawlers such as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot can access your public pages
- Whether your pages expose useful structured data such as Organization, Article, FAQPage, or SoftwareApplication JSON-LD
- Whether your content has clear claims, named evidence, and answer-ready passages AI systems can quote
- Whether your sitemap, llms.txt, and freshness signals make your important pages discoverable
What you get back
A scored readiness report across crawlability, structure, citability, entity consistency and freshness - plus a prioritized fix pack with concrete changes you can ship this week. Treat the result as a prerequisite check for AI citation, not proof that a specific AI engine cites you today.
Beyond the free check
The audit and report are free. Paid plans (from $13/month billed annually) add the fix center, brand profile, content generation and continuous tracking - so you can compare your website signals before and after fixes.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the AI Visibility Checker?
Same deterministic audit engine, different framing. The Citation Readiness Checker focuses on whether your site has the technical and content prerequisites for being cited. The AI Visibility Checker is the broader entry point covering all five audit dimensions.
Does this run a live AI engine query?
No. This page does not query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews in real time. It checks your public website signals: crawler access, structured data, content citability, entity clarity, and freshness.
Does it check all AI engines?
It checks website-side signals relevant to several AI retrieval paths, including OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Googlebot, and Bingbot. It does not guarantee that any external AI platform will include your site in a live answer.
Why does my brand rank on Google but not get cited by AI?
AI answers and Google blue links use different retrieval paths. The most common cause: your site blocks AI crawlers in robots.txt, or your content is marketing copy without the evidence density AI needs to quote a source.
