AI Visibility Auditing
Built the product, framework, and methodology. Every check traces to official documentation.
Project Overview
citability.dev measures what Ahrefs and Semrush don't: whether AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude can find your content. 10 automated checks, each labeled with an evidence tier (VERIFIED or EMERGING) and a source citation.
Challenge
Build an AI visibility tool that SEO professionals would trust, backed by transparent methodology and real crawler evidence.
Key Features
Infrastructure Scan
10 verified checks: robots.txt, sitemap, schema, meta, canonical, HTTPS, headings, OG tags, answer-first content, freshness.
Evidence Tiers
Every check labeled VERIFIED or EMERGING with a source citation. No made-up scores.
AVR Framework
Open-source AI Visibility Readiness framework (Apache 2.0) powering the scan methodology.
Lessons Learned
- school Transparency about what crawlers actually read is more credible than inflated check counts.
