Content Checker

Score a single page on your site for AI readiness.

Ask an AI:Open in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Content Checker scores a single page on your site for how well it is set up to be cited by AI platforms. One URL at a time, on demand.

The page lives at Dashboard -> Tools -> Content Checker (/dashboard/{workspace-slug}/{domain-id}/content).

How to run a check

  1. Paste a URL into the input field at the top of the page. The domain is pre-filled from the current tracked domain, so you only need the path.
  2. Click "Check". The check takes a few seconds for most pages.
  3. The result hero appears with the score, dimensions, and issues list below.

Recent checks are listed in a dropdown next to the input so you can jump back to a previous run.

What the result hero shows

The result hero carries three things.

  • A radial score from 0 to 100 with a grade label.
  • A five-dimension bar chart breaking the score into Content depth, Structure, Schema markup, Technical, and AI readiness.
  • The timestamp of when this check ran.

Each dimension scores independently. A high overall score with one weak dimension tells you where to focus.

The issues list

Below the hero, the issues are grouped by category: structured data, content quality, heading structure, AI readiness, technical, attribution, and anti-patterns.

Per issue you get:

  • A severity icon (informational, warning, or critical).
  • A one-line description of what is wrong.
  • The evidence that triggered it (the specific text, tag, or value).
  • A recommended fix.
  • On Pro and above, a code snippet you can paste into your page.
  • An expected lift percent showing how much the score would improve if the issue is resolved.

Each issue has an "Add to Plan" button so the fix becomes a tracked action item.

What the score means

The score is the weighted combination of the five dimensions. Scores below 40 indicate a page that is unlikely to be cited well by AI platforms in its current state. Scores in the 40 to 70 range are typical for a page that is structurally sound but missing common GEO signals (schema, clear evidence, explicit citations). Scores above 70 indicate a page that is set up to be cited.

These bands are guidance, not hard thresholds. A short product page can score high without needing the same depth as a long-form guide. Use the dimension breakdown to decide what to fix, not the headline score alone.

History and comparison

On Pro and above, every check is stored. A history card under the issues list shows previous runs for the same URL with a score sparkline. "Compare to previous" opens a side-by-side view of what changed: which issues were resolved, which appeared, and how each dimension moved.

The same card on Starter shows a smaller window of recent checks. Free tier does not retain history.

Limits

The check budget is shaped by the page itself. Large pages with many images, scripts, or third-party widgets take longer to fetch and analyze. The frontend cancels a check after roughly 50 seconds to keep the page responsive. If a check times out, retry against a stripped-down version of the URL (for example, with tracking parameters removed) or run the check against the canonical URL.

Plan tier

The number of checks per period and the depth of features available depend on your plan. Free tier is rate-limited and does not include code snippets or history. Starter, Pro, and Business include more checks per period plus the features above. See your plan card in the dashboard for the exact monthly cap.
