Evaluate citation-friendly page qualities without pretending to predict an AI engine. The checks focus on clarity, provenance, specificity, and extractable answers.

  • Find missing evidence and source attribution
  • Check entity and date clarity
  • Improve answer-first structure and extractable passages

Frequently asked questions

Use the result with confidence

Does a high score guarantee an AI citation?

No. Citation selection depends on the query, retrieval system, index, competing sources, and model. This checker only evaluates useful page-level qualities.

Is schema enough for AI visibility?

No. Structured data can clarify entities, but the visible content still needs accurate answers, evidence, and a useful reason to cite the page.
