Is Your Page Built to Be Cited by AI?

Classic SEO measures whether search engines can rank a page. AI visibility measures something related but distinct: whether an AI system such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity can find, understand, and cite that page when it answers a question. A page can rank well in Google and still be unstructured for AI extraction — long paragraphs with the answer buried at the end, no author attribution, no FAQ schema — and the reverse happens just as often, where a page with a thin backlink profile gets cited repeatedly because its answers are front-loaded and easy to quote. The two disciplines share some of the same underlying signals, such as clean HTML and a clear heading structure, but they are graded separately here because ranking well and being cited well are not the same outcome.

The free check gives you a GEO Readiness Score, not a live answer to that specific question. The score measures whether your page is structured in a way that helps AI systems cite it: a front-loaded, quotable answer, authority and brand signals, structural readability, multi-modal content such as images and video, and whether AI crawlers can actually reach the page at all. Whether an engine is citing you today for a specific prompt is a separate, ongoing measurement, because it means periodically asking AI systems real questions and checking their answers for your brand — that is an account feature, not something a single one-time check can determine. Readiness and being-cited-today are related but distinct, the same way a well-optimized page and a page that currently ranks first in Google are related but distinct outcomes measured in different ways, on different timescales.

A GEO Readiness Score is a 0–100 score built from five weighted dimensions, each graded from deterministic checks of your page's real HTML rather than an AI's subjective opinion of it: Citability (25%) — a front-loaded answer in a passage short enough to quote cleanly, backed by real numbers instead of bare claims; Authority & Brand (20%) — author or organization attribution and a brand name used consistently across title, meta, and heading; Structural Readability (20%) — question-per-section headings that are actually answered, plus scannable formatting; Technical Accessibility (20%) — whether AI crawlers such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot are actually allowed to fetch the page; and Multi-Modal Content (15%) — video, a data table, and images an answer engine can pull from beyond prose. Full grading rules for each dimension, including exactly which signals move the score and by how much, are on the Methodology page.

Tracked-prompt citation checks currently cover ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek. Each tracked keyword's base prompt is checked weekly as part of every paid plan; extra prompts and on-demand checks spend credits. It is not a live crawl of every possible query.

The GEO Readiness Score is free, no signup required. Continuous AI-citation tracking across engines — seeing whether you're actually mentioned in a given answer, with sentiment — is an account feature, separate from the free score.
