How do you check your website's AI visibility score?
CiteZilla offers a free AI visibility scan that checks your website across 9 categories — schema markup, content structure, answer pages, brand consistency, AI bot access, sitemap depth, meta tags, page speed, and content richness. You get a score out of 120 and a letter grade (A+ to F) in 30 seconds. No credit card or signup required. Just enter your URL and see exactly where your site stands with AI search engines like Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.
The 9 categories and why they matter
| Category | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Schema markup | LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Service, and other structured data |
| Content structure | Question-format H1s, answer-first paragraphs, heading hierarchy |
| Answer pages | Dedicated pages that answer specific customer questions |
| Brand consistency | Same name, phone, address across site and directories |
| AI bot access | Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot can crawl your site |
| Sitemap depth | XML sitemap presence, page count, update frequency |
| Meta tags | Title tags, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags |
| Page speed | Load time, mobile performance, Core Web Vitals |
| Content richness | Word count, FAQ sections, lists, tables, structured content |
How scoring works
Each category is scored individually and totaled out of 120 points. Your letter grade is based on the total:
- A+ (115-120) — Fully optimized for AI search
- A (100-114) — Strong AI visibility, minor gaps
- B (80-99) — Good foundation, needs answer pages and schema
- C (60-79) — Significant gaps in AI readiness
- D (40-59) — Major issues, AI engines will struggle to cite you
- F (below 40) — Effectively invisible to AI search
What most local businesses score
Most local business websites score in the D or F range. That's not because they're bad websites — they were built for human visitors, not AI extraction. They have marketing copy, image sliders, and testimonials, but no schema markup, no answer pages, and no FAQ structure. AI engines can't extract clear answers from that.
The good news: the gap is fixable. CiteZilla's AI Visibility Package takes you from D/F to A-range for $199 one-time.
CiteZilla scan vs HubSpot AEO Grader
