Why this matters

Search stopped being ten blue links.

AI search engines now answer questions directly — they read the web, summarize it, and cite a handful of sources. If your page isn't structured for machines to extract and quote, you're invisible in the answer, no matter how well you rank in classic results.

Answers, not ten blue links

AI Overviews and chat answers now sit above the classic results. Users read the summary and often never scroll — let alone click.

Citations are the new ranking

Being quoted by an AI engine is the GEO equivalent of ranking #1. CitedRank measures exactly how citable your page is — and why.

SEO is the floor, GEO is the ceiling

Clean titles and schema still matter. But machine-readable structure — llms.txt, FAQ schema, definition-first copy — is what earns the citation.

The toolkit

Six tools. One paste. Every angle on a page.

GEO and SEO are the headline. Sitemap, Crawl, Web UI, and the Data Scraper are the supporting cast that feed them — and stand on their own.

GEO Audit

new

Score how AI search sees your page

Grades how easily ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can extract and cite your content — then hands you the exact fixes.

  • llms.txt + FAQ / HowTo / Article schema coverage
  • Definition-first structure & citation-density scoring
  • Every missing signal becomes a one-line fix
→ GEO audit reportOpen

SEO

See every SEO signal on any page

Extracts ten sections of on-page SEO data from any URL — yours or a competitor's — in one render-accurate pass.

  • Title, meta, canonical, hreflang, robots directives
  • Headings, link graph, JSON-LD schema, Open Graph
  • Runs on JavaScript-rendered pages, not just static HTML
→ AUDIT — title / meta / schema / linksOpen

Sitemap

Find every URL a competitor shipped

Reads robots.txt, follows nested sitemap indexes, and probes 15+ fallback paths to surface pages a basic sitemap.xml viewer never sees.

  • robots.txt + 15 fallback paths + .gz decompression
  • Nested sitemap indexes, followed four levels deep
  • One-click hand-off into SEO, GEO, Crawl, or Clone
→ URL listOpen

Crawl

Turn any page into clean Markdown for AI

Renders with a real browser so SPAs come back whole, then emits LLM-ready Markdown plus an offline-perfect MHTML snapshot.

  • Clean Markdown built for RAG and AI agents
  • MHTML archive opens offline, pixel-perfect
  • Every image URL and CSS file captured too
→ CONTENT — text + imagesOpen

Data Scraper

new

Pull structured JSON from any URL

Point it at a list page, pick a template or write CSS selectors, and get back clean typed records — no code required.

  • Templates for Hacker News, GitHub, Reddit, Product Hunt
  • HTTP, Browser, and Stealth modes — beats Cloudflare
  • Export straight to JSON or CSV
→ structured JSON (rows + fields)Open

Web UI

Reverse-engineer any site's design system

Pulls every color, font, size, radius, and shadow off a live page and clusters them into an exportable design system.

  • Colors, font families, type scale, radii, shadows
  • Export to Tailwind config, CSS variables, or JSON
  • Full ZIP bundle: HTML + CSS + screenshot + tokens
→ design system (colors / fonts / CSS)Open

How it fits together

One workflow, from discovery to diagnosis.

The tools share a render cache — run any one on a URL and the others return in about 200 ms. Discovery feeds diagnosis; diagnosis feeds output.

  1. 01

    Sitemap

    Map every URL a site has ever shipped.

  2. 02

    Crawl

    Snapshot those pages as clean Markdown for your AI.

  3. 03

    SEO & GEO

    Diagnose what ranks — and what gets cited.

  4. 04

    Web UI

    Lift the design system to rebuild it better.

FAQ

SEO, GEO & how CitedRank works

What is CitedRank?+

CitedRank is a free SEO and GEO toolkit for the AI search era. Paste any URL or domain and it audits on-page SEO, scores how visible the page is to AI search engines, extracts sitemaps, scrapes content to Markdown, and pulls a site’s design system — all in one place.

Is CitedRank free?+

Yes. CitedRank is free — paste a URL and get a full report. No paywall, no credit card.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?+

GEO is the practice of structuring web content so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews — can extract, summarize, and cite it accurately. It emphasizes machine-readable signals like JSON-LD schema, an llms.txt file, definition-first paragraphs, and structured Q&A.

How is GEO different from SEO?+

SEO optimizes a page to rank in traditional search results that people click. GEO optimizes a page to be included and cited in AI-generated answers, where the user often never clicks through. They overlap, but GEO weights structured facts, schema coverage, and citation-friendly writing more heavily.

What tools does CitedRank include?+

CitedRank bundles six tools: a Sitemap extractor, a Crawl tool that scrapes pages to clean Markdown, a Web UI extractor that pulls a site’s design system, an SEO checker, a GEO audit that scores AI-search readiness, and a Data Scraper that pulls structured JSON from any page.

Can I audit a competitor’s website with CitedRank?+

Yes. Every CitedRank tool works on any public URL, not just your own. Paste a competitor’s page to inspect its SEO signals, GEO readiness, design tokens, or full content — useful for competitive research and pre-launch benchmarking.
