Is your site being cited by AI?

Just enter your URL. We will instantly check 31 items for search engines and 14 items on whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews can read your page. You will see the actual tags and numbers side by side, plus the order in which to fix them.

We only look at the one page you enter, plus robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap.xml. We never crawl your whole site.

    What we check

    Search engines and AI search look at different things. This check scores each of them separately.

    Search engine optimization (SEO): 31 checks Whether the page can appear in search results at all, the title and description (judged by display width), whether the canonical URL points to itself, heading hierarchy, amount of body content, whether the title's words appear in the opening, link text, HTTPS and mixed content, mobile friendliness, URL structure, image alt text and width/height, internal links, robots.txt, sitemap, server response time, total page weight, image optimization, and real world loading speed for actual visitors (Core Web Vitals), among others.
    AI search optimization (LLMO / AIO): 14 checks Whether AI search crawlers (such as OAI-SearchBot) are blocked, whether snippets are disabled (nosnippet), structured data and its types, breadcrumb structured data, publisher information, author information, publish and update dates, whether it has been updated within the past year, whether the conclusion comes first, question style headings, links to sources, llms.txt (for services other than Google), and whether it is being cited in AI generated overviews, among others.

    What is AI search optimization (LLMO)?

    ChatGPT search and Google's AI Overviews read pages they find through search, write an answer, and link to their sources. Google says there is no special optimization needed to appear in AI Overviews: a page that is indexed and eligible to show a snippet can appear (Google Search Central, "AI features and your website"). The foundation is the same as SEO. On top of that, a page where the answer comes first, the author is clear, and a machine can read the content is easier to understand for readers and search alike.

    On the other hand, if robots.txt blocks AI search crawlers, or nosnippet stops snippets from being shown, even a great article is excluded from the start. OpenAI, for example, says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers (OpenAI, "Overview of OpenAI Crawlers"). This check looks at whether a machine can read your page, on top of the SEO basics.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it really free?

    Yes. No payment details required. You can run up to 3 checks a day from the same address.

    How is my email address used?

    It is used to send you the results report. We will also sign you up for our newsletter and send you SEO and AI search tips and updates from Sorabun. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and one click stops it. Once you unsubscribe, we will not send anything further. We do not pass your address on to third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.

    Can I check a site that is not built on WordPress?

    Yes. The check just reads a published page, so it works regardless of how your site is built.

    Can you check my whole site?

    This check only looks at the one page you enter, plus robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap.xml. That is to avoid putting load on your server, so we do not crawl the whole site. We recommend trying both your homepage and one of your key articles.

    Why do I sometimes see fewer than 45 items?

    Items that could not be measured, or that do not apply to this page, are excluded from scoring. For example, Google does not have real user speed data for low traffic sites. And we will not ask for FAQ structured data on a page with no question style headings. If we scored "could not measure" as zero, that would lower your score for reasons outside your control, so those items are not counted toward or against your score.

    What should I do if the score is low?

    The results show how to fix each item. Your report page breaks the fix order into three groups: "Fixable today in 30 minutes," "Theme and server settings," and "Change how you write," along with the points you would gain from fixing each. Work through them from the top.
