AI extractability score

Can ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini lift a clean, attributable answer from your page? Paste a URL — we score the six on-page factors AI engines reward when they pick citation sources, and list the exact edits that close the gap.

Why extractability decides who gets cited

When an AI engine answers a question, it retrieves a handful of pages and quotes the one it can lift a clean claim from. A page that buries its answer under a wind-up intro, writes sentences that lean on the previous one ("This means that…"), or never dates its claims gives the engine nothing safe to quote — so the citation goes to a competitor whose page does. The six factors this tool scores are exactly that lift-ability: answer placement, standalone sentences, dated claims, brand adjacency, chunkable structure, and the cheap disqualifiers like noindex.

Extractability is the on-page half of AI visibility. Pair it with the AI crawler access checker (can GPTBot and ClaudeBot even fetch you?) and the AI citation checker (do engines actually cite you today?) for the full picture — or run the whole loop, with citation-drop monitoring, from the IndexerNow dashboard.

FAQ

What is AI extractability?
How easily an AI engine can lift a clean, self-contained, attributable answer from your page. Engines quote pages that open with the answer, write standalone sentences, date their claims, and put the brand name next to the quotable claim — extractability measures exactly those factors, 0–100.
What does the score check?
Six factors: an answer in the opening paragraph (30 pts), the share of standalone quotable sentences (20), machine-readable dates on claims (15), your brand named near the answer (15), chunkable structure — headings, short paragraphs, lists (15), and meta basics like noindex and description (5).
How is this different from SEO?
Classic SEO optimizes for ranking a page; extractability optimizes for being quoted inside an AI answer. They overlap (structure, freshness), but AI engines specifically reward liftable standalone claims with the source named next to them — things a ranking audit never measures. Notably, schema markup barely affects AI citations, so this tool doesn't reward it.
Does a high score guarantee citations?
No — extractability is the on-page half. The other half is whether AI crawlers can fetch you (check with the AI crawler access checker) and whether your brand exists off-site (YouTube and brand mentions correlate strongest with AI visibility). A high score means that when an engine does retrieve your page, there's a clean answer to lift and attribute.
Does this tool use AI?
No — the analysis is deterministic heuristics over your page's HTML, so it's free and repeatable. To ask real AI engines whether they cite you, use the AI citation checker or run a citation check from the IndexerNow dashboard.
