Is your page ready to be cited by AI?
This free AI readiness checker reads your live page and scores how ready it is to be quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews — crawler access, freshness, schema, author and extractable answers. Free, no signup. Every check is a real read of your page, not a guess.
What this tool checks
AI answer engines quote pages that are easy to reach, easy to lift, and easy to trust. This checker reads your live page (and its robots.txt) server-side and scores it on the signals that decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can cite you. Every result is a real read of your page, not an estimate — and the score is just the sum of the individual checks, so nothing is hidden in a black box.
The signals it scores
| Check | Why it matters for AI citations |
|---|---|
| AI crawler access (robots.txt) | A blocked crawler can never quote you. This is the floor. |
| Freshness / a visible date | Dated, recently-updated pages are cited far more often. |
| Structured data (JSON-LD) | Helps engines parse what the page is and who wrote it. |
| Named author / byline | Identifiable expertise (E-E-A-T) earns trust. |
| Extractable opening answer | A self-contained 40–60 word answer is what gets lifted. |
| Question-shaped headings | Match the questions people actually ask the engines. |
| Title & meta description | The baseline machines read first. |
What a high score does and does not mean
A high score means your page clears the on-page bar: the engines can reach it, parse it, and lift a clean answer from it. That makes you eligible to be cited. It does not guarantee a citation. The honest truth is that the biggest lever is off-page — genuine authority and brand mentions across the web are what tip an eligible page into an actually-cited one. Treat this as the technical checklist you complete first, then go earn the authority.
How to fix a low score
Each failed check comes with the specific fix. The common ones: put a real, accurate “last updated” date on the page; add Article and author schema; open with a short, self-contained answer; and make sure no Disallow: / blocks the AI search crawlers. Once the basics pass, move to improving your AI search visibility and tracking whether the engines actually cite you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an AI visibility checker?
It checks your page's readiness to be cited — the on-page and crawler signals that decide eligibility. It does not query the engines to see if they currently name your brand; that is a separate, ongoing job that dedicated tracking tools handle, and which you can also do by hand.
Does it really read my page?
Yes. A small server-side function fetches the public URL you enter and checks the actual HTML and robots.txt. There is no AI model in the loop and no made-up numbers — if we cannot reach the page, you get an error, not a fake score.
Is it free?
Yes — no signup, no account, nothing stored.
