AIO Readiness Check
About AIO Readiness Check
AIO Readiness Check diagnoses whether a web page is structured to be cited as a source by AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. It evaluates five structural factors: AI crawler access, presence of a direct answer at the top, extractable content structure, question-style headings, and trust signals including author information, dates, source links, and structured data. The tool provides an AI-citability score out of 100 and generates copy-paste improvement code for any missing elements. It functions as both an AI-citability audit and a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) audit, focusing on structural signals rather than traditional search ranking metrics. Users can run checks by entering a URL, with results appearing instantly in the browser. The tool is designed for content creators, marketers, and SEO professionals aiming to increase the likelihood of being cited by AI systems.
