AI Citation Readiness Checker

    Analyze a URL or pasted content for extractable text, answer structure, headings, lists, tables, supporting links, numeric evidence, authorship, and dates. Use the findings to make important claims easier for AI answer engines to understand and support.

    Start tracking AI visibility

    Only one public HTTP or HTTPS page is fetched. Private and local addresses are rejected.

    What this tool measures

    Descriptive structure, provenance, and extractability signals that can be measured without interpreting the page with an LLM.

    How to use it

    1. 1

      Provide the input

      Enter a URL or paste text or HTML.

    2. 2

      Configure the check

      Review extractability and provenance separately.

    3. 3

      Use the results

      Use the evidence counts as an editing checklist, not a ranking score.

    Move from a one-time check to continuous AI visibility

    Monitor prompts, competitors, mentions, citations, and the pages AI systems use. Then turn the evidence into content and client-ready reporting.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does this guarantee visibility in AI answers?

    No. The tool measures observable signals or calculates from your inputs. Retrieval, mentions, citations, and rankings remain controlled by each provider.

    Why is there no citation score?

    No reliable public formula can translate page structure into citation probability across providers, prompts, users, and time.
