Is your site ready to be cited by AI?
Assess structured data, entity signals, and machine readability — signals that influence whether generative systems can interpret and use your content.
- Find out whether AI crawlers are allowed in at all
- See whether your content states who wrote it and on what basis
- Get the structured-data gaps that stop a machine reading your page
Check a page for AI readiness
Enter a URL and see which signals an answer engine can read — and which are missing.
AI crawler access
Reads your robots.txt and the page’s robots directives for GPTBot and Google-Extended — blocked crawlers cannot cite you.
Structured data
Parses JSON-LD and scores the core identity types, breadcrumbs, FAQ markup and sameAs links. This is the heaviest single factor in the result.
Attribution signals
Checks whether articles name an author and a publisher — what a citing system needs to attribute a claim.
Evidence and answerability
Looks for links to sources and for content shaped as an answer rather than a brochure.
- Does this measure whether AI actually cites me?
- No. It checks the signals that make citation possible: crawler access, structured data, attribution, evidence. Whether a given system cites you is not observable from your page.
- Which structured-data formats are read?
- JSON-LD. Microdata and RDFa are not parsed, so mark up in JSON-LD if you want it counted.
- Does blocking GPTBot fail the check?
- It is reported as a finding, because a blocked crawler cannot cite the page. If keeping AI crawlers out is deliberate, treat that finding as answered.
- How does this relate to the SEO check?
- The SEO check covers classic on-page hygiene. This one covers what a generative system needs in order to read, attribute and reuse your content.
Every check runs on our servers: you provide a public URL, there is nothing to install, and pages are rendered with JavaScript first so single-page apps are read the same way a browser reads them. Each result gets a permanent link you can share. On a website you have claimed, findings become tracked issues, and result pages offer AI summaries and developer guidance on plans that include them.
