Before you spend a quarter chasing citations, ask a cheaper question first: is the page even built to be quoted? Audit My Page answers it in seconds — paste a URL, get an on-page citability score across the signals that decide whether an AI engine can lift your answer cleanly into its response.
Most GEO advice jumps straight to authority — get into more roundups, earn more mentions, climb the source list. That work matters. But it is slow, off-site, and largely out of your direct control. Meanwhile the page you already own may be quietly un-quotable: the answer is buried three scrolls down, the claim has no number attached, the markup is missing, and the engine moves on to a competitor that made the same point in one extractable sentence.
Audit My Page is the fast, in-your-control half of that problem. It reads one URL the way an answer engine would and tells you, concretely, what is helping or hurting your chances of being the passage that gets cited.
What it scores
Five on-page signals, each tied to a question an engine effectively asks of your page before it quotes you.
Extractable answer
Is there a clean, self-contained answer an engine can lift without rewriting your whole section? Pages that state the claim up front — then support it — are far easier to quote than pages that make the reader assemble the answer themselves.
Specificity
Are claims concrete — numbers, named entities, dates, comparisons — or vague? Public GEO research finds that adding statistics, citations and quotations to content measurably shifts how generative engines surface it. Specific passages give an engine something it can stand behind.
Structured data
Does the page expose schema and clean semantic markup so a machine can parse what each block is — an FAQ, a definition, an author, a date — instead of guessing from raw text? Structure makes your meaning legible to a parser, not just a reader.
Freshness
Does the page signal recency — a visible, trustworthy last-updated date and current facts? Answer engines lean toward content that looks maintained, and a stale-looking page is an easy one to skip.
Fetch speed
How fast and cleanly does the page return when fetched? Slow or fragile responses make a page costlier to crawl and parse — friction you do not want between your answer and the engine trying to read it.
So treat the score as one honest input, not a verdict. A page can ace every on-page signal and still lose to a weaker page on a higher-authority domain. These are correlations between page traits and quotability — not a proof that fixing one signal causes a citation. What the audit does well is remove the avoidable, in-your-control reasons a good page gets passed over.
Where does Audit My Page fit alongside the rest of CitedOS?
It is the on-page lens. The Visibility Tracker tells you whether you show up across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude; the Source-Gap Analyzer tells you which third-party sources to get into for discoverability. Audit My Page closes the loop on the surface you fully control — your own page.
Try it on a page that should be getting cited
Pick the page you most expect to win — your category-defining post, your comparison page, your pricing explainer — and run it. The free audit is at /audit; the full breakdown of each signal and how to read the score is in the Audit My Page docs.
Then go fix the cheap, controllable things first. Make the answer extractable, attach the number, ship the schema, date the page, speed up the fetch — and then spend the harder budget on authority. It is a better order of operations than chasing citations against a page that was never built to be quoted.
