The Citation Readiness Score is a 0–100 grade of how likely ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini are to quote a page — measured across the same five dimensions our paid product uses internally: SEO Foundation, GEO Readiness, Dual Fit, Entity Coherence, and Bot-Crawl Health. Paste any URL, get your score in ~90 seconds, then the one highest-leverage fix to make first.
No signup. No credit card. ~90 seconds.

Tracking — coming soon
One-shot scores are useful; continuous tracking is better. Weekly citation tracking across all 4 LLMs (drift + competitor alerts) is in early access — join the waitlist.

The Free tool fetches your page's HTML server-side via CitationDesk's edge proxy (no CORS limits), parses the head and body, and scores five dimensions against the rubric used by the @geo specialist module inside our internal fleet automation. Some signals are heuristics — we mark those clearly. The paid product moves scoring to a server-side crawler with PageSpeed Insights, Wayback validation, multi-page sampling, and the LLM-citation poll engine layered on top.
