Free SEO tools / AI Citation Readiness Checker

AI search citation checker: is this page ready to be cited?

Enter a page URL and this tool reads the HTML your server returns and checks the signals an answer engine can only use if they are on the page: one H1, a direct answer near the top, question-style headings, lists or tables, Article or FAQPage schema, a named author, a recent date, outbound sources, a canonical URL and enough text. It measures readiness, not actual citations: it never asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google anything.

Free, no sign-up, no email needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can a tool check whether ChatGPT or Perplexity cites my page?

Not from the page alone. Citations depend on the assistant's own retrieval and ranking at the moment of the question. This tool checks the on-page signals you control and does not query any AI product.

What makes a page easy for an AI answer to use?

Pages that state the answer plainly near the top, use clear headings, put steps and comparisons in lists or tables, show who wrote them and when they were updated, and link to their sources give a system less to guess. These are the signals this tool checks.

Should I add FAQPage schema to every page?

Only where the page visibly answers those questions. Google says FAQ rich results are shown only for well-known, authoritative government and health sites, so the markup is not a way to get FAQ snippets for most sites.

Why does it report very few words for my page?

The tool reads the HTML your server sends. If the content is added by JavaScript in the browser, crawlers that do not run JavaScript see little text. Server-render or pre-render the key copy.

Does a high score guarantee citations?

No. The score only counts how many readiness signals are present.
