CiteScope — AI visibility audit
Google can find you. AI can’t. That’s the problem now.
When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Claude for "the best dentist / lawyer / roofer / clinic near me," the answer names a handful of businesses — and cites its sources. CiteScope audits your site the way those engines read it, scores you on Reach / Recognize / Believe, and hands you paste-ready fixes. No $750/month agency retainer. No dashboard you have to learn. A report and a fix pack, in 72 hours.
Free self-check — the live 11-check engine
How visible are you to AI answers?
Enter your website and the checker reads the same public files AI crawlers read — robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml and your homepage — then scores you /100 on Reach / Recognize / Believe. No email required before the verdict.
The checker measures technical and structural citation-readiness — not live AI answers, which are sampled manually in the paid audit and never promised.
The problem
Your next customer asks an AI answer engine
A Stradiji audit released October 12, 2026 of 100+ sites found nearly 90% had closed at least one critical condition for AI visibility, and about three in four gave AI crawlers no explicit access in robots.txt — many block GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot outright.1
The Website Auditor AI Visibility Index (1,009 sites, Aug–Sep 2026, 30,340 answers) found AI assistants named the audited local business in only 3.6–4.4% of answers.2
A Seotal Research study published October 1, 2026 found agencies charge a median $750/month for AI search optimization, software trackers a median $99/month — and 37% of agencies publish no price at all, only "book a call."3
What the audit proves — on real sites
anchormedown.com: CiteScope score 70/100 — AI-PARTIALLY-VISIBLE — 8/11 checks pass. Genuine findings: no JSON-LD entity schema (0 blocks found), no FAQ schema/content, no AI crawler explicitly addressed in robots.txt. llms.txt present (5,822 chars), no crawler fully blocked, sitemap present. Control site (example.com): 6/100 — AI-INVISIBLE / HIGH RISK. Correctly found no robots.txt (404), no llms.txt, no schema, no meta description, ~27 words of text.

Honest scope
We do NOT guarantee ChatGPT or any engine will cite or rank you — no honest provider can.
We do NOT guarantee ChatGPT or any engine will cite or rank you — no honest provider can; AI answers vary by session and model. What we guarantee is the part we control: a real, evidence-backed audit in 72 hours or it's free, and fix files that pass our own checker on re-run. If your site already scores 90+, we tell you and the Fix Pack upsell is off the table.

Choose Audit + Fix Pack — $449“We already pay for SEO.”
Keep it. Traditional SEO optimizes for a list of blue links. This checks a different failure: whether AI crawlers are even allowed in, and whether an engine can extract an answer from your pages. Most SEO packages never check robots.txt for AI bots or llms.txt at all.
“Can't I just use a $29 tracker?”
Trackers tell you a score and leave the fixing to you. CiteScope is done-for-you: the Fix Pack is the corrected files themselves.
“$449 feels like a lot for text files.”
Agencies charge a median $750/month for this work (Seotal, Oct 1 2026). Ours is one-time, flat, and published — no call required to learn the price.
