AI Citability Scorer

What This Scores

The unit is one URL. The scorer fetches the page and evaluates the properties that decide whether a model can lift an answer out of it without mangling the meaning: whether claims are self-contained, whether sections are labelled with descriptive headings, whether the page states who wrote it and when, and whether facts are attributed to something.

This is not a measure of writing quality and it is not a ranking prediction. It measures extractability, which is a narrower and more mechanical thing.

STRONGEST EXTRACTABLE PASSAGE
  "A 301 redirect passes ranking signals;
   a 302 does not reliably do so."

Attribution scoring low with everything else acceptable is the most common shape, and it is the cheapest to fix. Four unsourced claims and a missing author byline are an afternoon of work, not a rewrite.

The self-contained claims figure is the one people argue with. A sentence beginning "this means it will" is perfectly clear in context and useless out of it, because a model quoting it has no way to carry the antecedent along. Writing sentences that survive being lifted is a habit, and it costs nothing once you have it.

What This Does Not Tell You

A high score does not mean you will be cited. Citation depends on whether the engine finds your page at all, whether it trusts the domain, and whether your page happens to answer the prompt someone typed. Extractability is necessary and nowhere near sufficient.

Whether your brand actually appears in answers is a different question with a different tool: the AI Visibility Checker tests that directly, and it is free.
