What CiteReady checks

🤖 AI Crawler Access<br>Are GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot & co. allowed in your robots.txt? Do meta tags block snippets? Blocked bot = invisible in AI answers.

🧩 Structured Data<br>JSON-LD schema tells AI engines who you are and what your content is. FAQ & HowTo markup gets cited disproportionately often.

📝 Content Citability<br>AI answers quote passage-sized chunks. We check headings, paragraph structure, Q&A format, freshness signals and content depth.

⚙️ Technical Foundation<br>HTTPS, titles, descriptions, canonical, Open Graph, sitemap.xml and the emerging llms.txt standard.

FAQ

What is GEO?Generative Engine Optimization — making your content easy for AI systems (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude) to crawl, understand and cite. It is the AI-era counterpart to SEO: instead of ranking #1, your goal is being the source an AI answer quotes.

How is the score calculated?Four weighted categories: AI Crawler Access (30%), Content Citability (30%), Structured Data (20%) and Technical Foundation (20%). Every check is pass, warn or fail with a concrete recommendation.

Do you store my data?No. Audits run on demand and are returned to your browser — we do not store your reports or crawl data. Pro accounts only store your email and a hashed API key for billing.

What do I get with Pro?Continuous monitoring — weekly automatic re-audits with score history for up to 5 sites, so you catch regressions over time. Plus multi-page audits (up to 10 pages from your sitemap per run) and the full SpryTools API bundle (CiteReady API + 20+ APIs) under one key with 10,000 calls/month.

Use your Pro API key

Audits will run through the SpryTools API gateway with your quota.
