60-second engine diagnostic

What runs when you click “Run citation audit”

Five parallel phases complete in about a minute — site fetch, schema diagnostic, live AI probes, platform map, and gap report. Select a phase to see outputs.

Live site fetch & GEO parse

We pull your homepage HTML in parallel with robots.txt and sitemap checks — the same retrieval layer AI engines use before ranking sources.

  • Title, meta description, H1 extractability
  • Word count & on-page entity prominence
  • robots crawlability + sitemap discovery
How does the citation audit work?

Free AI citation audit — what you get in 60 seconds

The CitePilot citation audit is a free engine diagnostic for brands that need to know whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite them on real buyer questions — not vanity keywords. Enter your domain and up to ten money prompts; the tool fetches your live site, scores GEO technical readiness, probes AI surfaces, and returns a citation score with fix priorities.

Unlike traditional SEO crawlers, this audit is prompt-native: each line you submit is evaluated for brand citation or on-site alignment, with plain-language reasons when you are missing. That makes it the fastest way to baseline Share of Model before investing in content or schema work.

GEO technical diagnostic included

Every run parses JSON-LD, FAQPage schema, Organization entity markup, Open Graph tags, robots.txt crawlability, and sitemap discovery. These signals feed a GEO score that explains retrieval blockers — the layer AI engines evaluate before citing your domain in synthesized answers.

For a deeper technical workflow, open GEO Audit in the workspace after signup, or follow the Perplexity citation playbook for structured data and entity optimization steps.

Live vs inferred engine checks

When server API keys are configured, ChatGPT answers are probed via OpenAI, Perplexity via its API, and Google AI Overviews via Serper — checking whether your brand or domain appears in responses to your exact prompts. Additional engines (Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek) use GEO-informed inference from site signals until live keys are added, so you still get a full platform presence map in one pass.

After your free audit

Create a workspace at Start analysis for weekly rescans, Autopilot action plans, and proof reports. Map prompts programmatically with the ChatGPT money prompts guide, or compare AEO vs GEO metrics on the AI visibility service page.

Citation audit FAQ

What does the 60-second citation audit check?
It fetches your site, scores GEO technical readiness (schema, crawlability, extractability), runs your money prompts against live AI probes where configured, maps platform presence across eight engines, and returns a citation score with prioritized gaps.
Which AI engines are tested live vs estimated?
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews use live API probes when server keys are set. Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek use GEO-informed inference from your site signals and prompt alignment until live keys are added.
How many money prompts can I audit for free?
Up to 10 buyer questions per audit on the free tier — one per line, focused on comparisons, alternatives, and best-for queries your ICP asks ChatGPT.
How is citation score calculated?
A blend of GEO technical score (~45%) and the share of your prompts cited or aligned (~55%). Live engine probes update the cited ratio when OPENAI_API_KEY and related keys are configured.
What should I do after the audit?
Fix top gaps (schema, FAQ, answer capsules), create a CitePilot workspace for weekly rescans, or read the GEO Playbook for Perplexity and ChatGPT optimization frameworks.
Does this audit guarantee I'll get cited?
No. The audit measures current signals and likely citation alignment — it does not guarantee future AI citations. Use it to find gaps, ship fixes yourself, then re-scan to measure change.

What CitePilot does — and doesn't do

CitePilot is citation intelligence for GEO teams. We automate monitoring, measurement, and planning — not guaranteed placement inside AI answers.

What we do

  • Audit & monitor money prompts

    Crawl your site, score GEO readiness, and re-scan prompts on a weekly cadence (Pilot+). Track citation deltas over time.

  • Live probes where configured

    ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews use live API checks when server keys are set. Other engines use GEO-informed estimates until live keys are added.

  • Prioritize fixes that matter

    Autopilot and Insights turn gaps into a ranked weekly plan — schema, answer capsules, content, and third-party mentions tied to buyer prompts.

  • Generate content & publish when you approve

    Draft articles from audit gaps and publish to connected CMS providers from the article queue. You choose what goes live.

  • Prove citation lift

    Re-scan after you ship fixes and show shareable proof reports — citation rate per prompt, platform map, competitor context.

What we don't do

  • Guarantee AI citations

    We cannot control what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google, or any LLM chooses to cite. Scores and audits are informational — not outcome guarantees.

  • Edit your live website for you

    GEO Snippets add optional JSON-LD via one script tag you paste in site head (or Framer Custom Code). Other fixes use Manual Code or Ask AI — nothing changes on your site until you implement it.

  • Auto-publish without you

    Autopilot never publishes to CMS. Weekly emails and plans are advisory. Publishing is manual from Content or your CMS workflow.

  • Replace full technical SEO crawls

    GEO-focused audits complement traditional SEO suites — they are not a substitute for enterprise site crawls or backlink index depth.

Live vs estimated: Live today: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews (Serper/SerpAPI). Estimated from site signals: Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek — shown for coverage context, not live answer probes.
