Citely — AI Search visibility audit

About

Citely audits any webpage in seconds and tells you whether AI search engines — Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and Gemini — are likely to cite it. The whole audit runs on your device using Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano. No URLs leave your browser.

WHAT YOU GET

• AI-Ready Score (0–100) — a single number summarising how citable the page is, computed from five weighted sub-scores.
• Server-side visibility — measures how much of the page's content is in the raw HTML versus only after JavaScript runs. AI crawlers see the raw HTML; if your hero section lives in a client-rendered div, they miss it.
• Structured data quality — detects Article, FAQPage, HowTo, BreadcrumbList, and Organization JSON-LD schemas and flags missing high-impact ones.
• Answer-first structure — analyses every H1/H2/H3 and verdicts whether the first 30 words deliver a tight declarative answer, an answer buried behind filler, or no answer at all.
• Information density — flags marketing fluff ("industry-leading", "best-in-class") and rewards sentences with numbers, definitions, and specifics.
• Top fixes — the highest-impact actions for this page, each with an estimated point gain.
• Side-by-side comparison — audit a competitor's page and see exactly what they're doing differently.
• Markdown export — download the audit as a .md file, or open the printable full report and Save as PDF.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT

• Audits run on-device via Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano (Prompt API). No analytics, no telemetry, no server-side logging.
• Your settings and the last 50 audits are stored locally in chrome.storage.local.
• If on-device AI isn't available, Citely can use your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). The key is stored locally — only you ever see it.

WHO IT'S FOR

In-house SEO leads, content strategists, technical writers, indie publishers, and any builder who wants AI search engines to cite their work instead of a competitor's.

REQUIRES

Chrome 114 or newer (for the side panel API). On-device audits use Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano — for the best experience, enable it in chrome://flags or stay on a recent Chrome release.
