What CiteReady™ Checks

6 checks free. 35 checks in Pro Analysis. All the signals that determine whether AI cites you or your competitor.

AI Crawler Access

Verifies GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, and 9 more are allowed in robots.txt. Blocked crawlers = zero citations.

Schema Markup

Detects FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Product, and other schema types. Structured data increases citation probability by up to 3×.

llms.txt

Checks for the AI-equivalent of sitemap.xml — the file that tells LLMs what content is available and how to use it.

Meta Tags & Open Graph

Validates meta description quality, Open Graph completeness, canonical tags, and robots directives.

Indexability

Confirms the page isn't accidentally blocking AI crawlers via noindex, X-Robots-Tag, or password walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI citation checker and why do I need it?
An AI citation checker tests whether your website includes the technical signals that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other LLMs need to cite your content as a source. If your site is missing these signals, AI search engines will cite competitors instead, costing you referral traffic. CiteReady™ Score measures this readiness on a 0–100 scale.
Is CiteReady similar to SEO checkers like Ahrefs or SEMrush?
No. Traditional SEO tools focus on Google rankings. CiteReady™ is the first dedicated AI citation readiness checker built for LLM visibility. It tests AI-specific signals — llms.txt, AI bot crawl permissions, answer-format schema — that those other tools ignore entirely.
Which AI search engines does CiteReady check?
CiteReady™ analyses signals for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. The Pro Analysis also checks 13 AI-specific bots including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, and CCBot.
Can I check a competitor's website?
Yes — enter any URL. There are no restrictions on which URLs you can analyse. The free check works on any publicly accessible website.
What alternatives exist to CiteReady?
Most generic SEO tools offer basic schema validation but no dedicated AI citation score. CiteReady™ is the first tool built specifically for AI search citation readiness. The Pro Analysis includes a gap analysis against AI citation benchmarks.
