Inside the report
Most audits grade your on-page setup and stop. Citeify starts by asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Grok and Claude the questions your customers actually ask, and recording who they recommend, where you rank among the businesses they name, who they cite and what they say about you. The six readiness categories then explain every absent verdict, and the findings tell you what to change.
Buyer-intent questions, generated from what your business does and where it operates, put to six engines five times each. For every question you get a verdict per engine (cited, mentioned, or absent) and the businesses named in your place, read from the answers themselves. Then where you rank among them, which websites the engines cite, and the tone and the facts they attach to your name, checked against your own site. Re-run it and the same questions are asked again, so the movement is real.
Six readiness categories on the foundations you control, computed from measured signals so the same site gets the same score. This is the diagnosis behind every absent verdict above.
Citability
How easily an AI engine can lift your content as a quotable answer — clear Q&A headings, scannable lead paragraphs, explicit citations.
Brand
The trust signals AI platforms weight heavily: Wikipedia/Wikidata presence, Reddit mentions, Trustpilot review volume, YouTube authority.
Content
Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness — measured against Google’s Search Quality Rater Guidelines.
Technical
SSR behaviour, security headers, URL structure, Core Web Vitals (LCP/INP/CLS), sitemap and robots.txt sanity.
Schema
JSON-LD coverage: Organisation, Article with speakable, Product/AggregateOffer, FAQ, CollectionPage, sameAs references.
Platform
llms.txt, IndexNow, per-platform readiness, AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Applebot-Extended), the Google-Extended opt-out, and the snippet controls that decide whether Google may quote you in AI Overviews.
Platform readiness
Each platform selects sources differently, so each gets its own readiness score. Four of the five are also live-measured in the question table.
Google AI Overviews
Citation probability + AIO-friendly structure.
ChatGPT Web Search
Browsing-mode visibility + ChatGPT-User crawl access.
Perplexity AI
Source ranking on product + comparison queries.
Google Gemini
Gemini grounding signals + Workspace integration.
Bing Copilot
Bing indexing coverage + Copilot readiness. Scored, not live-measured.
