Free AI visibility tool 6-dimension citation readiness check

Free AI visibility tool
for citation readiness.

AI engines do not use a single ranking signal. They blend at least six different ones to decide whether to quote a source. This free AI visibility tool scores your page on each, returns a verdict, and gives you a specific fix for every dimension below 70.

Use it before an AI search optimisation review, after a content refresh, or alongside the AI Schema Validator when you need a quick baseline.

Brand name lets the tool check whether your name actually appears in the page content. Optional.

Visibility scoring tracks behaviour across

6 dimensions calibrated against documented ranking behaviour for the AI search engines below. Different engines weight things differently - the scoring is the average of what they all care about.

  • ChatGPT by OpenAI ChatGPT
  • Claude by Anthropic Claude
  • Perplexity by Perplexity AI Perplexity
  • Gemini by Google Gemini
  • Copilot by Microsoft Copilot
  • Llama by Meta Llama
  • Grok by xAI Grok
  • Mistral by Mistral AI Mistral
  • DeepSeek by DeepSeek DeepSeek
// what the 6 dimensions measure

The dimensions and why each matters.

1. Entity footprint

Whether AI engines can recognise the page's underlying entity. Checks for Organization / Person schema, sameAs links to LinkedIn / Companies House / Wikidata, identifiers and logos. Without this, the engine has no entity to map citations against.

2. Schema layer

How many distinct schema.org types are present and whether they cover the page's actual content. AI engines extract from schema first, content second.

3. Content extractability

Whether the content is chunked into AI-friendly sections (150-280 words per H2 sweet spot), and whether tables / figures / structured elements are present that AI engines disproportionately quote.

4. Freshness

How recently the page was meaningfully updated. Industry analysis (PromptAlpha, Ziptie, Goodie AI) reports freshness drives 30 to 40 percent of Perplexity ranking and that content updated within 30 days gets 2 to 3x more AI citations than year-old content.

5. Named author / E-E-A-T

Whether the page has a named, verifiable author. Industry research (GEO Alliance, PresenceAI) reports a 2 to 3x Perplexity citation rate for named-expert authored content vs anonymous.

6. Citation hooks

Structures AI engines are biased toward quoting: comparison tables, blockquoted stats, FAQ blocks, speakable specifications. The more of these per major section, the higher the citation rate.

// when to use paid tracking

This free check is a baseline. Paid tools answer a different question.

This page scores citation readiness on one URL. Paid AI visibility tools track brand mentions, citations, competitors and answer coverage across repeated prompts. If you need that broader monitoring layer, I keep a current UK comparison of the main options.

// next step

Score is below 60? Worth a real conversation.

The tool tells you where the gaps are. Closing them usually means coordinated work across content, schema, authority and citation tracking, not a quick patch.
