Is Your Site Built to Be Cited by ChatGPT?

Checking has two parts. First, run the free GEO Readiness check to see whether a page is structured for ChatGPT to pull evidence from it — a front-loaded answer, named entities, cited statistics, and clear freshness and author signals, scored across five weighted dimensions: citability, authority and brand, structural readability, technical accessibility, and multi-modal content. Second, use ongoing citation tracking, which asks ChatGPT the specific prompts you choose on a recurring schedule and records whether your brand appears in the answer, along with the sentiment attached to that mention. The first check is free, instant, and requires no account at all. The second requires an account, because it means repeatedly querying ChatGPT over time and storing the results so you can see the trend across weeks, not just a single snapshot from one afternoon's check.

The GEO Readiness Score is free, with no signup and no card required, and it scores a page's structure across five weighted dimensions — citability, authority and brand, structural readability, technical accessibility, and multi-modal content — in a few minutes with no account needed at all. Tracking real ChatGPT citations over time is part of every paid plan: each tracked keyword's base prompt is checked weekly, with sentiment-tagged results stored over time, and only extra prompts or on-demand checks spend credits. If you only need to know whether a page is built to be citable, the free check answers that today with no account. If you need to know whether ChatGPT is actually citing it, that requires an account and a list of tracked prompts to run on a schedule.

Citation tracking covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek together, not ChatGPT alone. The underlying signals that make a page citable — a front-loaded answer, named entities, cited statistics, clear freshness and author signals, and AI-crawler access — are not specific to any one engine, so structuring a page well for ChatGPT helps with the other engines at the same time. The per-engine breakdown still shows exactly where ChatGPT stands relative to the rest, since citation behavior differs by engine even when the underlying page is identical: one engine can cite a page today while another has not yet surfaced it for the same prompt.

GEO Readiness measures structural prerequisites on a page — a weighted score across five dimensions (citability, authority and brand, structural readability, technical accessibility, and multi-modal content) covering whether the page is built to be citable at all, before any AI system has ever responded to a single real prompt about it. ChatGPT visibility, in the citation-tracking sense, measures something different entirely: whether ChatGPT is actually citing the page today, for the specific prompts you choose to track over time. A page can score well on readiness and still go uncited, especially newer content that ChatGPT's retrieval has not yet indexed or surfaced for a given prompt at the exact moment you check. Readiness is a leading indicator you can act on the moment the check finishes; citation tracking is the direct, ongoing measurement of that outcome over time.

No tool can guarantee that, because ChatGPT's retrieval and answer generation are controlled entirely by OpenAI, not by any third party. What can be measured and improved is the structural readiness that makes citation more likely — a front-loaded answer, named entities, cited statistics, and the freshness and author signals scored across the five GEO Readiness dimensions. What can also be measured honestly is the outcome: ongoing citation tracking records whether ChatGPT actually cites the page for the prompts you track, on the schedule you set, rather than promising a result that no outside tool controls or can force.
