CitedByAudit a site

AI visibility audit for a website

An AI visibility audit (also called a GEO or AEO audit) checks whether AI search crawlers can reach and read your pages, and whether each page answers a buyer's question clearly enough to be quoted. CitedBy runs it for you: we crawl every page, check it and give you a report with the exact fix for each issue.

What the audit checks, page by page

  1. Crawler access. Whether robots.txt lets GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot in, whether your firewall or CDN blocks them, and which status code each page returns.
  2. Readable HTML. Pages that arrive empty until JavaScript runs show nothing to most crawlers. We compare the readable text with the size of the page and flag the empty ones.
  3. llms.txt and sitemap. Whether llms.txt exists and works, and whether your sitemap lists the pages you want read. Note that no major assistant is confirmed to read llms.txt, so we mark it optional.
  4. Structured data. Organization, Product, FAQ and Article markup (JSON-LD) tell machines which number is the price and which text is the answer.
  5. Titles, headings and links. Missing and duplicate titles and descriptions, H1s, heading order, canonicals, hreflang and broken internal links.
  6. Answer quality. Does the page answer the buyer's question near the top, and do you have the FAQ, pricing, comparison and about pages that get quoted?

What you get

A health score for the whole site, issues grouped by severity with the pages each one affects, a page-by-page view, and a ready-to-paste fix for each issue: the tag, the robots.txt line, the schema block. Re-crawl after you change something and watch the score move. Agencies can add a white-label PDF and run many client sites.

Questions

Are GEO, AEO and AI visibility audits the same thing?

In practice yes. GEO (generative engine optimization), AEO (answer engine optimization) and AI visibility all describe the work of being read and named in the answers AI assistants give.

Is CitedBy a tool for academic citations?

No. CitedBy audits websites. It does not format or check academic references.

What does the audit cost?

A single audit is €9, paid once before the crawl, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Monthly plans from €19 re-crawl on a schedule. There is no free plan.

Can you promise ChatGPT will name my site?

No. Nobody controls what an assistant answers. The audit finds what blocks or weakens your pages and gives you the fix.
