How is this different from a regular SEO checker?

A traditional SEO checker looks at ranking factors for Google's blue links. This tool checks the specific signals AI engines use to decide what to cite in a generated answer — structured data (schema.org), an llms.txt file, FAQ-formatted content, and named entities. A site can rank fine on Google and still be invisible to AI Overviews.

Is my site actually checked, or is this a self-assessment?

Most of the score comes from real, automated checks against your live site — we fetch your homepage, your llms.txt, and your robots.txt and check what's actually there. A couple of questions that can't be detected automatically (like whether your case studies use real numbers) are self-reported.

Do you have case studies or results pages with specific, real numbers (not just testimonials)?

Yes No

Why AI Citation Readiness Matters Now

Buyers are increasingly asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews questions they used to type into a search box — "who makes X," "best Y supplier near me," "how much does Z cost." If your site isn't built for AI engines to read, understand, and quote, you don't show up in that answer, no matter how good your Google ranking is.

This tool checks the specific technical signals that determine whether that's possible: structured data (schema.org) that tells an AI engine what your page is and who published it, an llms.txt file that routes AI crawlers to your key content, and FAQ-formatted content that's easy to quote directly. It also checks the basics that quietly undermine all of the above — whether HTTP actually forces HTTPS, whether www and non-www both resolve to one canonical host instead of splitting your site into two, and whether there's any signal telling an AI engine your content is current rather than years stale. Most manufacturing websites — including, until recently, this one — were built with little of this.

Score 80 or above and the fundamentals are in place. Most manufacturer sites score well under 50, simply because nobody built for this until very recently. If you want help closing the gaps this surfaces, book a free consultation.
