AI answer engines cite pages they can read, trust and quote. This free checker audits any page on your site for the signals that make it citable: a clear title, a quotable meta description, clean heading structure, enough substance, structured data, an author, a date, links out to sources, and an llms.txt introducing your domain.
Paste a page URL and run the audit. If a check comes back partial or missing, the result tells you exactly what to fix.
How the score works
Every check is pass, partial or missing. The score is the share of checks passed, with half credit for partials, out of the checks listed. Nothing is estimated or simulated: the checker fetches your live page and reads what is actually there. If it cannot fetch the page, it says so instead of guessing.
Citation Checker: questions
What does the Citation Checker audit?
The signals that make a page citable by AI answer engines: a clear title, a quotable meta description, clean heading structure, enough substance, structured data, an author, a date, links out to sources, and an llms.txt introducing your domain.
How is the score calculated?
Every check is pass, partial or missing. The score is the share of checks passed, with half credit for partials, out of the checks listed on this page.
Does the checker simulate or estimate anything?
No. It fetches your live page and reads what is actually there. If it cannot fetch the page, it says so instead of guessing.
What should I fix first after a low score?
The result marks each signal pass, partial or missing and tells you what to fix. Start with the missing ones: they are the signals an answer engine looks for first when deciding whether a page is safe to quote.
