What makes a page citable by AI?

Two things our engine weighs heavily: a clearly identified source (entity schema, one H1, declared language) and specific verifiable facts an engine can quote without risk. Pages full of adjectives and no numbers give an AI nothing safe to cite.

Does this confirm whether ChatGPT or Perplexity cited me?

No. This is a page-level readiness grade, not a visibility tracker. It tells you whether your page is built to be quoted. It does not check live AI answers or confirm any citation — we never claim confirmed AI visibility.

How is this different from your AI SEO page grader?

The AI SEO page grader covers AEO/GEO readiness broadly. This grader zooms in on the citation angle specifically: entity clarity and quotable facts — the signals that decide whether an engine has something attributable to pull from your page.

AI Citation Readiness Grader

When an AI assistant writes an answer, it leans on pages it can confidently attribute and safely quote. This grader scores how citation-ready your page is — whether it gives an engine a clear source identity and concrete facts worth lifting, rather than vague marketing copy with nothing to anchor on.

The engine focuses on the signals behind a citation: a declared entity (who published this), specific verifiable facts like prices, percentages, counts and dates, answer-style content that directly responds to a question, and structured data that confirms what the page is. You get a readiness grade plus the fixes that most improve your odds of being quoted. To be clear, this measures citation readiness — it does not confirm or guarantee any actual AI citation.

What this audit checks

✓Clear entity identity: Organization/LocalBusiness/Person schema, one H1, declared <html lang>
✓Specific, checkable facts (numbers, prices, percentages, dates, named sources) worth quoting
✓Direct question-and-answer content an engine can lift cleanly
✓JSON-LD structured data present and matched to the page's purpose
✓Content readable in server-rendered HTML so an engine can actually extract it

Who it’s for

Brand, content, and PR teams that want their pages to be the source an AI quotes instead of a competitor.

You’ll get a Revenue Grade, all nine subscores, and your top fixes free — with the full ranked plan and downloadable report available on upgrade.
