Search is shifting from ten blue links to a single AI answer that cites a handful of sources. This tool scores whether your page is one an assistant can actually quote — does it open with a clean, self-contained answer? Are headings phrased as the questions people ask? Does it carry the author, freshness, and structured-data signals that make an answer trustworthy? You get a grade, a six-category breakdown, and the exact fixes, ranked by impact.
Why AI-Overview readiness is its own discipline
Ranking and getting cited overlap, but they aren’t the same. A page can rank fine and still never be quoted, because AI answers pull self-contained passages, not whole pages. The pages that get cited tend to do a few things well: they answer first and elaborate second, they map headings to real questions, they put anything enumerable into lists and tables an assistant can lift, they name their entities specifically, and they prove experience and authorshipso the answer is safe to trust. Every check here maps to one of those behaviours, and every failed check comes with the specific change to make — no vague “optimize for AI.”
Frequently asked questions
What is AI Overview readiness?
It's how easy your page makes it for Google's AI Overviews and assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) to understand, trust, and quote a clean answer from your content. Being cited in an AI answer increasingly matters as much as ranking — but it rewards a slightly different set of signals: answer-first passages, question-mapped headings, clear entities, real author trust, and structured data. This tool scores those signals and tells you exactly what to fix.
How does it score a page?
You paste a URL and our server fetches the live public HTML and runs checks across six categories — answer extractability, E-E-A-T & trust, helpful content & originality, structure & semantics, entity & topic coverage, and structured data for AI. Each category gets a score; the page gets an overall grade; and you get a prioritized fix list ranked by impact. It reads only the public page, follows redirects safely, and never stores what you check.
Will a high score guarantee I get cited in AI Overviews?
No — and be wary of any tool that promises that. A high score means you've cleared the on-page bar: nothing structural stops an assistant from quoting you. But whether you're actually cited also depends on authority (who links to and trusts your site), whether your content is genuinely the best answer, and how known your author and brand are as entities. Think of the score as necessary, not sufficient.
How is this different from the SEO Analyzer?
The SEO Analyzer scores overall on-page SEO — indexing, snippet, structured data, plus a single AI-readiness category. This tool zooms all the way in on getting cited by AI: it breaks AI readiness into six detailed categories and weights the checks that specifically decide extractability and trust for AI answers. Use the SEO Analyzer for the full on-page picture, and this when your goal is AI Overview and assistant citations specifically.
Does it store the URLs I check?
No. The check runs on request and nothing about the pages you enter is logged or saved.
