Frequently asked questions
What does “answer extractability” mean?
It’s how easily an AI answer engine can lift a clean, self-contained passage from your page and cite it. A page can rank well on Google yet be invisible in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI Overviews because its answers are buried in long paragraphs or never stated directly. This tool scores the on-page traits that make content easy for AI to extract and quote.
What does the tool check?
It fetches the page and scores eight signals: a direct answer near the top, question-style headings, short scannable paragraphs, a clean heading hierarchy, lists/tables, the presence of stats and outbound citations, structured data (schema), and enough substantive content. Each check comes with a specific fix.
How do I improve my score?
The two highest-impact changes are: (1) lead each section with a direct, self-contained answer in the first one or two sentences, and (2) phrase your headings as the questions people actually ask. After that, add FAQ/HowTo schema, use lists and tables, cite primary sources, and keep paragraphs short. Re-check to confirm the score went up.
Is this the same as the full SEO audit?
No — this is a focused, single-page check of AI-citability (the AEO/GEO layer). The full free SEO audit covers all 26 factors across technical, on-page, performance, security, and the AI-era checks. Use this tool for a quick read on one page; run the full audit for the complete picture.
