Citation Rocket – Free AEO & AI Readiness Checker

🚀 Citation Rocket — Free AEO & AI Visibility Checker for Any Page Your customers have stopped Googling. They're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — "What's the best tool for X?" — and those AI assistants are quietly recommending someone. If it's not you, you're losing deals you never even knew existed. Citation Rocket's free Chrome Extension tells you, in seconds, whether any page you're viewing is set up to be recommended by AI — and exactly why it isn't. No login. No account. No credit card. Just install, click, and know. ──────────────────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT IT DOES ──────────────────────────────────── Open any webpage — your own site, a competitor's, a client's landing page — and click the Citation Rocket icon. In seconds, you get a live AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) audit of that exact page. The extension scores five things that AI assistants use to decide who to recommend: ✅ Answer Capsule How well does this page directly answer a clear question? AI assistants prioritize pages that answer specific questions cleanly — not pages that bury the answer in marketing copy. Citation Rocket checks whether the page has a clear, direct answer structure that AI can extract and recommend. ✅ Schema Markup Does this page have the structured data that AI crawlers understand? Citation Rocket detects and evaluates schema markup types present on the page — Organization, FAQ, HowTo, Article, BreadcrumbList — and flags what's missing. Schema is how you tell AI engines exactly who you are, what you do, and why you're trustworthy. ✅ Freshness Is this content recent enough for AI to trust it? AI assistants increasingly factor in content recency when deciding what to recommend. Stale pages with outdated dates, old copyright footers, and no recent publishing signals score lower. Citation Rocket checks freshness indicators and tells you what to update. ✅ Fan-Out Does this page link out to supporting content and connect to a wider topic web? AI engines trust pages that are part of a broader, well-linked content ecosystem — not isolated pages. Fan-Out checks internal linking structure and topic coverage depth: does the page connect to related content that deepens the topic? ✅ Bot Access Are you accidentally blocking the AI crawlers that decide whether to recommend you? Citation Rocket checks whether AI bots like OAI-SearchBot are blocked by your robots.txt, whether you have an llms.txt file (the new standard that tells AI how to read your site), and whether your domain has a Reddit presence — a signal AI increasingly uses as a trust indicator. ──────────────────────────────────── 💡 WHO IT'S FOR ──────────────────────────────────── 👉 B2B Marketers & Growth Teams You spend hours optimizing for Google.

Catch missing schema, weak answer structure, or bot-blocking issues before they cost you citations. ──────────────────────────────────── ⚡ WHY IT'S DIFFERENT FROM SEO EXTENSIONS ──────────────────────────────────── Most SEO Chrome extensions check Google signals — title tags, meta descriptions, keyword density, backlinks. Those still matter for traditional search. Citation Rocket checks AI signals — the five things that determine whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude will recommend a page when someone asks a relevant question. These are fundamentally different optimization targets: ❌ Traditional SEO extension checks: title length, meta keywords, header structure, page speed, backlink count ✅ Citation Rocket checks: answer directness, schema type coverage, content freshness, internal topic depth, AI bot access permissions If you're only optimizing for Google, you're optimizing for yesterday's traffic. Citation Rocket optimizes for the AI recommendations that are happening right now. ──────────────────────────────────── 📋 THE FIVE SCORES — EXPLAINED ──────────────────────────────────── Each page gets a score across five modules. Here's exactly what each one measures: 1️⃣ ANSWER CAPSULE SCORE AI assistants pick up pages that answer questions directly. The Answer Capsule score measures how well the page is structured to deliver a clear, extractable answer — not buried in a 2,000-word blog post, but surfaced clearly near the top. Pages with strong Answer Capsule scores tend to be the ones AI quotes verbatim. What it checks: Does the page start with a direct answer or clear statement of purpose? Is there a summary, TL;DR, or clear conclusion visible on the page? Are answers structured in ways AI can extract (lists, headers, short paragraphs)? 2️⃣ SCHEMA SCORE Structured data (schema markup) is the vocabulary AI uses to understand what a page is about. Without schema, AI has to guess. With schema, you're telling it directly. What it checks: Is there an Organization schema? (Who you are) Is there FAQPage schema? (What questions you answer) Is there HowTo schema? (What processes you explain) Is there Article schema? (Is this editorial content?) Is there BreadcrumbList schema? (How your site is organized) Missing schema types are fl…
