Platform capabilities
Built for AI visibility.
Designed for action.
From score to AI simulation to one-click fix — see how AI engines describe you, catch what they get wrong, and fix it.
01 — GEO Score Analysis
Crawl, analyse, score in minutes.
Add any URL. Citera crawls the page, extracts structure and entities, then scores it across 5 GEO dimensions. You get a 0–100 score with a full breakdown — not vague advice, but exact findings like “missing FAQPage schema” or “no author attribution”.
02 — 5-Dimension Report
Every weakness, surfaced and explained.
Each analysis produces per-dimension findings with exact recommendations. Authority Signals checks citations and outbound links. Structure checks H1 hierarchy and word depth. Structured Data checks FAQ, Article and Organization schemas. Freshness checks publish dates and year references. Semantic Coverage checks topic breadth and meta.
03 — AI Simulation & Accuracy
See how AI describes you — and what it gets wrong.
Citera asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek real buyer questions, then checks every answer against your actual page content. You see who mentions you, who recommends a competitor instead, and — uniquely — when an engine states something inaccurate about your brand (a hallucination).

04 — Structured Data Optimisation
Schema gaps that cost you AI citations.
AI engines heavily weight structured data when selecting what to cite. Citera detects missing FAQPage, Article and Organization schemas and tells you exactly what JSON-LD block to add and where.
05 — Competitor Analysis
See where rivals outrank you — and why.
Compare your GEO score against competitor pages on the same topic. Citera shows dimension-by-dimension gaps: “Your score: 62. Competitor: 78. Gap: Authority Signals — they have 3 outbound citations and a named author. You have neither.” This turns abstract scores into urgent action.
06 — Daily Monitoring
Track score changes. Get alerted on drops.
Enable monitoring on any project and Citera re-analyses your pages daily. Every snapshot is saved — watch your score climb after each optimisation or get emailed the moment a competitor overtakes you on a keyword you track. Your score history never disappears.
How it works
Improve your AI citation score
in 3 simple steps.
No complex setup. No technical expertise required. Your first full analysis is ready in under two minutes.
Step 01
Add your URL
Sign in with Google and paste any public page URL into Citera. No credit card required — your first GEO analysis is completely free with free credits included on signup.
Step 02
Get your GEO score
Citera crawls your page and scores it across 5 dimensions — Answer Directness, Authority Signals, Structured Data, Content Freshness, and Semantic Coverage — in under 2 minutes. Optimised for LLM citation patterns used by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems inside ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity.
Step 03
Fix the gaps & re-score
Each dimension shows exact, actionable findings — not generic advice. Implement Citera's recommendations, re-analyse, and watch your AI citation potential improve. Citera tracks how large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 1.5 Pro evaluate your content.
Research & Trust
Built on AI search research.
Citera's scoring methodology is grounded in published academic research on how generative AI models evaluate, rank, and cite web content.
See what AI really says
We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek real questions and show whether they mention you, how they describe you, and which competitors they recommend instead.
Catch AI hallucinations
Citera checks each AI answer against your real page content and flags claims that are inaccurate — so you know when an engine is making things up about your brand.
Fix it in one click
Most tools only diagnose. Citera also generates the fix — optimized copy, FAQ content and ready-to-paste JSON-LD schema — so you can act on findings immediately.
As an AI developer, I use Citera to check whether the AI engines powering my products actually recommend my brand correctly. It caught 3 hallucinations in the first run.

In short
The takeaway: how to get cited by AI
Citera is a Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) platform. It crawls any public page, scores it from 0–100 across five citation dimensions, and turns every finding into one-click fixes (rewritten copy and ready-to-paste JSON-LD schema). It then simulates how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek describe your brand, flags hallucinated or inaccurate claims, and tracks your score over time — so you know exactly what to fix to get cited by AI engines.
In practice, getting cited comes down to five things Citera measures and helps you improve:
- Answer directness — answer real questions clearly and early, in scannable Q&A form.
- Authority signals — cite credible sources and attribute named authors and expert quotes.
- Structured data — mark up the page with FAQPage, HowTo, Article and Organization JSON-LD.
- Semantic coverage — cover the topic in depth and close with a clear summary.
- Content freshness & entity authority — show update dates and link your brand to Wikidata and authoritative profiles via
sameAs.
Do these well and AI engines stop guessing about you and start citing you with real specifics. Add your URL to get your GEO score and the exact, prioritised fixes for your page.
Built on public guidance from Schema.org, Google’s structured-data guidelines and OpenAI’s GPTBot documentation.
FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Citera is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) platform. You add a URL, Citera crawls it, extracts structure and entities, then scores it across 5 dimensions: Authority Signals, Content Structure, Structured Data, Content Freshness, and Semantic Coverage. You get a 0–100 score with exact, actionable findings — not generic advice.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is the practice of making your content more likely to be cited and referenced by AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overview. As AI-powered search grows, being cited in an AI answer is as valuable as ranking #1 in Google. Traditional SEO won’t get you there — GEO will.
SEO tools optimise for Google’s ranking algorithm — keywords, backlinks, page speed. Citera optimises for how AI engines understand and cite your content. The signals are different: AI engines care about structured data, answer directness, authority attribution, and semantic completeness. These are Citera’s 5 scoring dimensions.
Authority Signals: outbound citations, named authors, expert attribution. Content Structure: H1/H2 hierarchy, word depth, answer-first formatting. Structured Data: presence of FAQPage, Article, Organization JSON-LD. Content Freshness: publish dates, year references, recent events. Semantic Coverage: topic breadth, meta description quality, entity density.
Credits are Citera's usage unit — each operation (GEO analysis, AI simulation, optimisation) spends a fixed amount. New accounts get a small batch of free credits on signup, enough to run a GEO analysis, no credit card required. To keep going you subscribe to a monthly plan (Starter, Pro or Scale); every renewal refreshes your balance back up to that plan's monthly allowance. Cancel anytime.
Yes. Add any public URL to Citera — your own pages or a competitor’s. Competitor analysis lets you compare scores dimension by dimension and identify exactly where they outperform you. This tells you which improvements will close the gap fastest and which AI engines are most likely to prefer their content over yours today.
When monitoring is enabled on a project, Citera re-analyses your pages daily and saves a score snapshot for every run. You can view 30, 60, or 90-day score trends from your dashboard. Each daily re-analysis consumes credits at the same rate as a manual analysis, deducted automatically from your balance.
Citera stores the extracted text and metadata needed to compute and display your GEO score and findings. Raw HTML is not stored after analysis. Your score reports, dimension breakdowns, and history are saved to your account so you can track progress over time and revisit past analyses.
Sign in with Google — no credit card required. You’ll start with free credits included on signup. From your dashboard, add a URL as a new project and click Analyse. Results are ready in under two minutes. Your first GEO analysis is completely free.
