Citation Readiness Score

Crawls each product page through a 5-tier fetch ladder, extracts structured and unstructured data, then runs it through seven independent scoring modules. The output is a 0–100 score with a full module breakdown and actionable recommendations.

AttributesEntityAmbiguityClarityConsistencyIntentArchetype

Product-level, not brand-level. We score the page an AI agent would actually land on.

Live AI Verification

Queries real AI platforms with buyer-intent questions in your product's category, then detects whether the AI cites your product, misattributes its facts, or omits it entirely, across five identity slots.

Verification, not prediction. We ask the AI. We don't guess what it knows.

Indexability Verification

Checks whether AI crawlers can reach your pages (robots.txt audit), whether your product is findable without a direct URL across Google, Bing and AI discovery, and whether your store is UCP-compatible for agentic checkout.

Invisible to crawlers = uncitable by AI. Fix the access layer first.

Crawler access (robots.txt)Pass

GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are allowed to fetch product pages.

Findable without a direct URLPartial

Indexed on Google and Bing, but not yet surfaced in AI Overviews for category queries.

UCP-compatible for agentic checkoutFail
