AI Citable Checklist · Free

One domain. Every AI.

Is your website even an honorable mention?

When a customer asks ChatGPT or Google's AI to recommend a business like yours, you're either named — or you're invisible. The checklist scans your site and tells you which, free, in about a minute — plus the three fixes that matter most.

What you get

  • Your AI Visibility Index — a single grade for the whole site
  • Whether AI assistants recommend you — or a competitor instead
  • Your top 3 fixes, ranked by impact and effort

You're in.

We've got it. We're preparing the AI Citable Checklist for your site and will send it to your inbox shortly — check your spam folder just in case.

The shift nobody told you about

Nobody's typing anymore. They're asking.

Your customers used to scroll a page of blue links. Now they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google's AI a plain question — "who's the best one near me?" — and act on the short list it reads back. That list is built from websites the AI can actually read. If yours is slow, buried in JavaScript, or written like a brochure, you're not ranked low. You're left off entirely.

One questionPeople ask AI for a recommendation instead of browsing ten tabs.
One short listThe AI names a handful of businesses. There is no page two.
One question for youWhen that list is read aloud, is your name on it?
Why this matters now

Your website matters more now, not less.

Everyone's telling small businesses the website is dead. The opposite is true. AI answer engines read real websites to decide who to recommend — so your site just quietly became the thing that gets you named, or skipped, in the place people now ask first. It's still the one asset you own outright. The question changed from "does it look nice?" to "can a machine read it and quote you?"

Humans · Read

Seen by people

A real visitor gets what you do, who it's for, and why to trust you — in seconds, on any screen.

Search · Ranked

Found by search

The structure is clean enough for Google to crawl, index, and rank every page that matters.

AI · Cited

Cited by AI

ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can read your pages clearly enough to quote you in an answer.

What the checklist actually grades

We read your site the way AI does.

No vague "SEO health" number. The checklist runs the specific checks that decide whether an AI can lift a clean answer off your page and put your name in it.

1

Answer-first formatting

Are your pages written so an AI can pull a clean, quotable answer straight off them?

2

AI crawler access

Are the AI bots even allowed in — or is your server quietly turning them away?

3

Schema & entity map

Does your code tell AI who you are, where you are, and exactly what you offer?

4

Freshness signals

Does your site read as maintained and current, or frozen a few years back?

5

Page-by-page grade

Which pages are AI-ready — and which of your important pages are quietly failing?

6

Citation reality check

We ask real AI assistants to recommend a business like yours. Do you show up, or does a competitor?

How it works

Three steps to see what AI sees.

You drop in a domain. We read the site the way an AI assistant does and grade it on the 13 signals that decide whether you get quoted — or skipped. Here's exactly what we look at, and why each one moves the needle.

1

Drop in your domain

No login, no install. Just your web address and where to send the results.

2

We scan it like AI does

Our crawler fetches your site as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI would — then grades every signal below.

3

Get your grade + 3 fixes

A clear AI Visibility Index, what's strong, what's weak, and the three fixes worth doing first.

Where your 100 points come from
48 Read & quote
21 Authority
16 Access
15 Housekeeping
Can AI read & quote you Can AI map your authority Can AI get in (the gate) Housekeeping wins

Can AI even get in?

If a bot is turned away at the door, nothing else on this list matters.

Caps your score until fixed
AI crawler access16
Bots blocked at your server or CDN mean those assistants never see you — no matter how good the content is.
IndexabilityGATE
A stray noindex tag tells search and AI to skip the page entirely.
RenderGATE
Content that only appears after JavaScript runs is often invisible to AI crawlers.

Can AI read and quote you?

This is where citations actually come from — the heaviest part of the score.

Answer-first formatting18
Short, direct answers under clear, question-style headings are exactly what AI lifts into a response.
Schema & entity mapping12
Structured data spells out — in machine terms — who you are, where you are, and what you offer.
Freshness signals9
Recent, visible dates tell AI the page is current and worth trusting over a stale competitor.
Information density9
Specifics, numbers, and real sources beat vague filler that an AI has no reason to quote.

Can AI map your authority?

Who you are, what you do, and who stands behind it.

Content architecture8
Clear service pages and internal links let AI map your offering instead of guessing.
Entity clarity & identity7
Your homepage should state what you do, who it's for, and why you're credible — fast.
Author / E-E-A-T6
Real bylines, bios, and Person schema signal a credible human behind the content.

The cheap wins

Small signals that quietly add up — most are quick fixes.

Media written context5
Alt text and captions make your images and video readable to AI instead of blank.
Local relevance4
Address, phone, and LocalBusiness schema anchor you to a city when people ask "near me."
Metadata & canonical3
Clean titles and one canonical URL per topic keep AI from getting confused.
Trust / policy pages2
About, Contact, Privacy, and Terms signal a real, legitimate business.
llms.txt1
A 30-minute root file that points AI straight at your best content. Low effort, easy win.

The gate matters most. Block the AI crawlers and your score is capped no matter how clean the rest is — that's why "Access" sits in its own check. We test it the way the bots actually hit you, not just by reading robots.txt.

Questions, answered

What people ask before they run it.

What is the AI Citable Checklist?
It's a free scan of your website that grades how well AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI can read, understand, and recommend your business. You get an overall AI Visibility Index, a page-by-page breakdown, and your top three fixes.
Is it really free?
Yes. You enter your domain and email, we run a real crawl, and we send back your grade and your top three fixes at no cost. No sales call is required to get the results.
How long does it take?
Most sites return a result in about a minute. Larger sites take a little longer because we sample and grade more pages.
Why would AI ignore my website?
Common reasons include content hidden behind JavaScript, AI crawlers blocked at the server, missing structured data, and pages written as walls of text instead of clear, quotable answers. The checklist flags exactly which of these apply to you.
What do I get at the end?
An AI Visibility Index score for your whole site, a check of whether AI assistants currently recommend you or a competitor, your strongest and weakest pages, and a ranked list of the three fixes worth doing first.
Do I have to get on a sales call?
No. The results are yours to keep and act on. If you'd rather have us do the fixes for you, the report tells you how — but that's your choice, not a requirement.
