AI Citation Readiness Scorer
AI engines quote chunks, not pages. Paste an article (Markdown or plain text) to score how extractable it is, and get specific fixes. Everything runs in your browser.
What this score measures
AI engines rarely quote a whole page. They lift a self-contained passage, a chunk, and attribute it to your URL. Content that wins citations is built from clean, liftable chunks. This tool checks the signals that make a chunk easy to extract and safe to cite.
It looks for six things: question-style headings that match how buyers ask, an answer-first opening with a specific number, real fact density, chunk-sized sections, lists or tables, and outbound citations to primary sources. Research on generative engine optimization found that adding statistics, quotations, and citations measurably increases the odds of being sourced. For the full playbook, read how to write content AI engines actually cite.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good score?
Aim for 85 or higher. Above 85 means your content is answer-first, fact-dense, and structured into chunks engines can lift cleanly. Below 65 usually means buried answers or thin facts.
Does the text I paste get stored?
No. The scorer runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server or stored anywhere.
Will a high score get me cited?
Extractability is one of two levers. The other is authority: engines must trust your domain enough to cite it. Between two trusted sources, though, the more extractable one wins.
