AI citation readiness checker: will AI cite your article?

Paste your draft and get an instant AI Citation Readiness score with the top fixes to make before you publish — no account needed.

Answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews — pull their answers from content that is clearly structured, factual, and easy to extract. This free checker reads your draft and scores the on-page signals that make it citation-ready, then shows the highest-impact fixes to make before you hit publish.

What we check

  • Answer-upfront structure — is the key answer stated early and plainly?
  • Headings & scannability — can a machine parse the sections?
  • Definitions & entities — are key terms defined clearly?
  • Evidence & citations — are claims backed by sources?
  • Extractable Q&A / FAQ blocks — the format engines quote most
  • E-E-A-T signals — experience, expertise, and trust markers

Ranking #1 no longer guarantees a citation

AI Overviews now appear on roughly half of Google searches, and answer engines increasingly satisfy the query without a click. They cite the content that is easiest to lift a clean, trustworthy answer from. Checking readiness before you publish is the cheapest place to fix it — a rewrite after launch costs far more than a paste here.
