New KPI: AI citation visibility

You can be #1 in Google and still be invisible in AI search.

AI tools read your site like a citation, not a ranking. AI CiteRank scores how likely ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity are to cite your page — and tells you exactly what to change.

Detecting Blind Spots in AI Search Rankings

AI CiteRank shows you where AI tools might be ignoring your page — even when you rank #1 in Google.

Definition

Ranking ≠ Citation

Ranking is where your page appears in search results. A citation is whether AI tools actually mention your page as a source in their answers — a fundamentally different surface from the ten blue links, as Google describes in its AI Overviews launch.

Why it matters

AI-search visitors convert higher

In early studies, AI-search visitors convert significantly higher than traditional organic — in some measurements far exceeding it. If you're not being cited, you don't exist in AI search.

Trust

Measurable on-page signals

This score is based on measurable on-page signals associated with how AI assistants weigh source credibility — drawing on the same E-E-A-T principles in Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines, not guesswork.

Variance

Time- and platform-dependent

AI-search visibility is time- and platform-dependent — products like ChatGPT Search and Perplexity's online models continuously re-weight live web content. This score estimates how likely your page is to be cited once it's seen.

How it works

A closed loop, not a one-off audit

We simulate how AI models evaluate and select sources by analyzing your structure, content depth, and citation signals — estimating how likely you are to be cited.

01
Scan

We render your page and extract 5 citation signals — depth, structure, schema, clarity, claim support.

02
Score

An AI model evaluates the signals the way ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity weigh sources.

03
Fix

Three labeled fixes — high impact, medium, quick win — with copy-ready snippets.

04
Re-scan

See before vs. now. Most users improve in 1–2 iterations.

Pricing

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is AI citation rank?

AI citation rank is the likelihood that an AI search engine — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude — cites your page as a source in its answers. It's different from Google ranking: a page can rank #1 in Google and never be cited by AI assistants.

How is this different from traditional SEO tools?

Traditional SEO tools score you against Google's blue-link ranking factors. AI CiteRank scores you against the on-page signals AI assistants use to pick sources — content depth, structure, schema, readability, and outbound authority. The two overlap, but the weights are very different.

Which AI search engines does this score predict for?

The score predicts general citation likelihood across ChatGPT Search, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. Each platform weights signals slightly differently, but the 5 signals we measure are universally relevant to how LLMs evaluate source credibility.

How are the scores calculated?

All 5 sub-signal scores are computed deterministically from your page's HTML — same input always produces the same score. The AI is only used to write the explanations and recommend fixes. This means re-scanning an unchanged page returns identical numbers.

Is the first scan really free?

Yes — one free scan, no credit card, no email required. After that, the Pro plan unlocks 25 scans per month, full history, and the re-scan loop so you can measure improvements over time.
