AI citation checker

See whether AI assistants and answer engines have what they need to cite your site: llms.txt, AI crawler rules, structured data, and server-rendered content - checked live, no sign-up.

How it works

Three steps to your result.

  1. Enter your site URL

    Use your homepage or a key page like /pricing. We fetch llms.txt, robots.txt, and server HTML from our servers.

  2. Get an AI presence score

    See whether the building blocks of AI citation are in place: llms.txt, AI crawler access, JSON-LD, and server-rendered content.

  3. Fix what is missing

    Each failing check includes the fix. Re-run after changes to confirm your score improves - then dig into the full GEO analyzer.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this tool.

Does a passing score mean ChatGPT will quote my site?
No. It means nothing technically blocks citation: llms.txt exists, AI crawlers are allowed, and structured data is present. Whether an answer engine actually cites you depends on content quality and relevance.
What is llms.txt?
A proposed standard file at /llms.txt that tells AI assistants what your site covers and where to find key pages. Its absence is the most common reason a site never appears in AI answers.
Which AI bots are checked?
The checker reads robots.txt for the AI crawlers answer engines use (ChatGPTbot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, and more) and flags site-wide blocks on public paths.
Is this the same as the GEO analyzer?
This is the focused "will AI cite me" scorecard. The full LLM SEO & GEO analyzer returns every check, per-bot detail, and follow-up page suggestions.

Good to know

Context and tips to get more out of this tool.

Citing is not the same as ranking

Classic SEO gets you into Google's index. AI citation readiness gets you into the training ground answer engines sample when someone asks about your category: llms.txt, AI crawler access in robots.txt, JSON-LD, and content visible without JavaScript.

Looking for a ChatGPT citation checker?

This tool does not ask ChatGPT anything. It checks whether your site gives ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other answer engines what they need to cite you. To see whether you are cited today, ask the assistant the questions your buyers ask, with web search on, and look at the sources it lists. Repeat the same questions every month so you can see changes over time.

What the scorecard means

A passing score does not guarantee ChatGPT quotes you - it means nothing is blocking it. Missing llms.txt, blocked AI crawlers, or empty structured data are the usual reasons a site never appears in an AI answer even when it has the best content.

Most common first fix

Issue:
No llms.txt at /llms.txt and ChatGPTbot blocked in robots.txt
Fix:
Publish a minimal llms.txt and allow friendly AI crawlers, then re-run the checker to confirm the AI presence score improves.
