What this checker looks at
AI answer engines such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search and Perplexity pull short, self-contained passages from pages and link to the sources they used. This tool fetches your page and runs a transparent checklist of the things that make a passage easy to lift: concise answers directly under headings, question-style headings, concrete figures, lists and tables, structured data, a named author and date, and links to the sources behind your claims. It also flags directives such as noindex or nosnippet that would stop a page being quoted at all.
How the score works
Each check carries a fixed number of points that add up to 100. Direct answers under headings carry the most weight (16), followed by facts and figures (12), structured data (10) and snippet permissions (10). The score is a guide to where to start, not a ranking factor and not something Google or any AI engine reports. A high score does not guarantee citations, and a page with a lower score can still be cited if it is the best answer to the question.
How to improve a low score
- Start each section with a two or three sentence answer, then add detail below it.
- Rewrite vague headings as the question a reader would type.
- Replace general claims with dates, numbers and named sources, and link to those sources.
- Add Article, Organization or Person structured data that matches the visible page, and show the author and last-updated date.
- Present steps and comparisons as lists or tables.
What this tool cannot see
The tool reads the HTML your server returns. Content that only appears after JavaScript runs is not included, pages behind a login cannot be reached, and it cannot tell you whether any AI engine has actually cited you. To see real citations, search for your target questions in the engines themselves.
