What this checker measures
AI systems cannot reliably understand or cite a business that is hard to crawl, lacks a clear title and description, omits structured data, or sends conflicting canonical and indexation signals. This checker reads the public homepage and reports those observable prerequisites.
- Discovery. HTTPS reachability, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and indexability.
- Meaning. Title, description, H1, canonical URL, and Open Graph title.
- Machine-readable context. JSON-LD structured data and its declared types.
What this checker does not claim
The free result is not a fabricated AI mention score. It does not have access to private ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, or Google AI answer logs, and it does not pretend a single homepage scan proves citation frequency. Measuring real share of voice requires a defined prompt set, repeated model observations, timestamps, and competitor comparisons.
Why readiness matters
Generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization begin with accessible, explicit source material. Strong public evidence does not guarantee an AI citation, but missing evidence makes accurate discovery and attribution less likely. The report shows the technical gaps AIRCITE can fix before ongoing model observation begins.
From snapshot to automation
The free checker is an immediate public-evidence snapshot. A full AIRCITE audit adds prioritized revenue pages, conversion routing, search evidence, and an agent-operated shipping plan. Paid activation connects the customer's approved systems and runs the configured growth lanes automatically.
Verification standard
AIRCITE visibility readiness evidence: public, reproducible, and source-bound.
