AI Citability Checker

Score how likely AI systems are to extract and cite your content

Check your AI citability score

Takes ~5 seconds

Checks 16 signals across Answer Readiness, Structure, Extractability, and Credibility.

AI systems don't just rank pages — they extract and cite specific passages. If your content isn't structured for extraction, AI models will cite competitors instead. This checker analyses 16 signals across four dimensions — Answer Readiness, Structure, Extractability, and Credibility — and scores how likely your content is to be cited in AI-generated answers.

Get per-dimension scores showing exactly where your content falls short for AI citation.
Identify missing answer patterns, structural gaps, and credibility signals.
Receive actionable pass/fail checks based on real extraction patterns used by RAG systems.

How it works

2

The checker fetches the page and evaluates 16 citability signals across four dimensions.

3

Review per-dimension scores and expand each to see individual check results and fix suggestions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is AI citability?

AI citability measures how likely your content is to be extracted and cited by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Content that is well-structured, answer-ready, and credible scores higher.

What signals does this check?

It checks 16 signals across four dimensions: Answer Readiness (Q&A headings, direct answers, concise paragraphs, summaries), Structure (heading hierarchy, lists/tables, semantic HTML, step content), Extractability (self-contained paragraphs, definition patterns, content depth, paragraph length), and Credibility (author, dates, citations, structured data).

How is this different from the AEO Score Checker?

The AEO Score Checker evaluates general AEO readiness (robots.txt, meta tags, schema presence). The Citability Checker goes deeper into content structure — it checks whether your actual paragraphs, headings, and answers are extractable by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems.

What's a good citability score?

75+ (grade B or A) indicates content well-optimised for AI extraction. Most pages score 30-55 initially. Focus on Answer Readiness first — question headings with concise answers have the highest impact.

Which pages should I check?

Start with your highest-traffic blog posts and pillar content pages. These have the most to gain from AI citation. Then check landing pages and product pages.
