Free AI search readiness checker
AI engines cite pages they can quote: a direct answer near the top, extractable facts, a clear author and brand, machine-readable structure. This tool runs the AI-readiness slice of our 26-check audit (the same checks the app uses) against any URL: answer blocks, citable facts, entity clarity, author bylines, FAQ markup, and llms.txt. It checks readiness to be cited; to see where you are actually cited today across AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, run the AI Visibility snapshot in the app (free starter pack).
How to fix what it finds
- Answer the page's core question in the first 40 to 60 words, quotably, before any warm-up.
- Give engines something to cite: specific, dated facts beat adjectives.
- Make the author real: a byline with a bio signals experience, which AI engines increasingly weigh.
- Keep your brand entity consistent everywhere (name, about page, Organization schema).
- Ship llms.txt: a few minutes of work that helps AI ingestors map your canonical pages.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool show whether ChatGPT cites my site?+
This free checker measures readiness: whether a page is structured so engines can quote it. Actual citation tracking (which engines cite you, for which prompts, versus competitors) needs live checks across the engines; that is the AI Visibility module in the app, and the free starter pack includes a snapshot.
What matters most for getting cited by AI?+
Being retrievable (indexed and ranked for the topic) and being quotable (a direct answer an engine can lift). Everything else on this checklist reduces friction; those two earn the citation.
