Would an AI actually quote this?
Score a whole page by URL or paste a single passage: a deterministic 0-100 score on how easily an AI answer engine could lift it as the answer, the exact sentences holding it back, and an optional AI rewrite of each weak one. Free, no sign-up.

We fetch the page and score every substantial paragraph, weakest first. Or skip this and paste a single passage below.
01 / How it works
Paste a URL or a passage
Give us a page URL and we score every substantial paragraph on it, weakest first. Or paste a single passage of at least 20 words.
We score 7 signals
Answer-first opening, self-contained sentences, specificity, hedging, sentence length, marketing fluff, and overall quotable length.
Fix the flagged sentences
Every failed or partial signal shows the exact sentences dragging the score down. One optional click gets an AI review with a suggested rewrite of each weak sentence.
02 / FAQ
Questions, answered.
What does 'citability' actually measure?+
It measures whether a passage is written the way AI answer engines like to quote: an answer up front, sentences that make sense in isolation, specific and numbered claims, and confident, hedge-free language. It is a writing-quality score, not a prediction of whether any specific AI will cite this exact passage.
Why does the tool care whether my first sentence is a question?+
AI answer engines are extracting an answer to quote, not restating the question. An opener like 'Have you ever wondered how AI ranks content?' gives the engine nothing to lift. An opener like 'AI ranks content by weighting specificity, structure and freshness' is the sentence that gets pulled straight into an answer.
What's wrong with starting a sentence with 'This' or 'It'?+
Nothing, in the flow of a full page. But AI engines often quote a single sentence in isolation. 'This is the fastest way to do it' means nothing without the sentence before it. A self-contained sentence names its subject: 'The fastest way to migrate is a phased rollout' works whether or not anything came before it.
Why does hedging language hurt the score?+
Words like might, could, perhaps, or it depends signal that even the writer isn't sure of the claim. AI engines generally favor confident, checkable statements over hedged ones when choosing what to quote as a direct answer, because a hedge is harder to state cleanly in one line.
Is a 100 score guaranteed to get cited?+
No, and we won't claim otherwise. This scores the writing itself: structure, specificity, confidence, length. Whether an AI assistant actually surfaces and cites this passage also depends on whether the assistant finds the page at all, and what other sites say about the same topic, neither of which a passage-level score can measure.
Does my text get uploaded anywhere?+
Scoring itself runs entirely in your browser with plain pattern matching. If you check a page by URL, our server fetches that page's HTML for you. The optional AI review is the only feature that sends your passage to our server, it says so right on the button, and nothing is stored either way.
What length of passage should I paste in?+
A single paragraph or a short section, roughly 40 to 350 words scores best: long enough to hold a real claim, short enough to be lifted as one quote. Pasting an entire article will average out the signal and make it harder to spot which specific sentences need work.
