Paste a passage below and this tool scores how quotable it is by AI search engines. It checks the same signals that decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, or a Google AI Overview lifts your text as a cited source: length, information density, self-containment, and whether it answers the question directly. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

This is a heuristic guide, not a guarantee. It scores structure and specificity, the parts you control; it cannot judge whether your facts are correct or whether your page ranks well enough to be retrieved in the first place. Use it to tighten a passage, then do the rest of the citation work.

What each signal means

The score weighs four things, drawn from the patterns in our AI search citation benchmark:

  • Length. A single liftable passage tends to sit between 40 and 160 words. Shorter than that rarely answers a question on its own; much longer and the engine has to hunt for the answer inside it.
  • Information density. Named entities and concrete numbers per sentence. "The 2026 update cut thin-content visibility by 23%" gives an engine something to ground on; "the recent update had an impact" does not.
  • Self-containment. The passage should read on its own without the sentence before it. Opening with a bare "This" or "It" points at context the engine will not have when it lifts the chunk.
  • Direct-answer shape. Lead with the answer. A definitional opening ("X is...", "X works by...") gets lifted more cleanly than a passage that hedges its way in.

Why this matters

Answer engines do not retrieve pages, they retrieve passages. A long article can go uncited while one well-formed paragraph on a thinner page gets the mention. Tightening the passage is the highest-leverage thing you can do on-page, and it is the same work behind our GEO service. Score a passage, fix what the tool flags, and you have made it easier for an engine to quote you by name.
