AI answers cite what they can quote

When an assistant answers a question, it lifts short, self-contained statements, pulls from structured lists and tables, and prefers claims backed by concrete figures it can attribute to a named source. Content that is long, unstructured, and anonymous is far harder to quote — so it gets cited less.

This checker scores those on-page fundamentals from your live HTML, so you can make your content quotable before you measure whether you're actually cited.

What keeps content from being quoted
  • Walls of copy with no short, liftable answers
  • No lists, tables, or structured comparisons
  • Claims with no numbers or evidence to cite
  • No author, date, or identity to attribute it to

One score plus each signal marked pass, improve, or fix, with plain-English reasons.

What this checker scores

The on-page fundamentals that decide whether an AI answer can quote and attribute your content.

Concise answers — short, liftable paragraphs Lists & tables — structured content Evidence — stats, figures, dated references Attribution — author, date, or Organization Question headings — match how people ask

Quotable is not the same as cited

Quotable content is what earns citations — but not a guarantee of them. Run the full AEOMaster audit to see whether AI answers actually cite you, how often, and versus which competitors.

What does the AI citation checker do?

It scans a page for the on-page signals that make content easy for AI answers to quote and attribute: concise answer paragraphs, lists and tables, quotable evidence like stats and figures, an author or publish date, and question-style headings. It rolls them into a quotability score.

Does it tell me if AI actually cites me?

No — and it never pretends to. Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI actually cite you requires live queries across those engines, which is the paid AEOMaster audit. This free checker measures whether your content is structured to be quotable in the first place, using only your page's HTML.

What makes content quotable by AI?

AI answers tend to lift short, self-contained statements, structured lists and tables, and concrete figures they can attribute to a named source. Long unbroken copy with no data, structure, or attribution is much harder to quote — so it gets cited less.

How is the score calculated?

The score is a transparent average of the individual checks — each pass, improve, or fix. It's deterministic: the same page always gets the same score. It reflects how quotable your content is on-page, not how often you're actually cited.

Does it check my whole site?

It checks your homepage — the most representative page for site-wide signals. Enter any domain and it fetches that site's homepage. The full AEOMaster audit looks across your key pages and the live AI answers.

Will a high score get me cited?

It's a strong start, but citation also depends on authority, evidence, and whether AI engines can reach and trust your source. The full AEOMaster audit measures whether AI answers actually mention and cite you — and which competitors they cite instead.
