Make your content easy for AI to cite
Getting mentioned on third-party sources is half the game — the other half is making your own pages the kind AI quotes. Citenzo shows what to fix so engines can find, parse and cite you.
- Crawlability and machine-readability checks
- Structure and clarity signals AI rewards
- A prioritized fix list for your pages
AI cites what it can parse and trust
Answer engines favor content that's easy to extract: clear claims, direct answers, structured data, and pages their crawlers can actually reach. A brilliant page that's hard to parse — or quietly blocking AI bots — rarely gets cited.
The Citability Optimizer checks these signals and gives you a concrete list, from “unblock GPTBot” to “answer this question in the first sentence”.
What it optimizes
Machine-readability
Crawlability, structured data and an llms.txt — so engines can read and understand you.
Answer-first structure
Clear, quotable claims and Q&A framing that AI can lift directly into an answer.
Trust signals
The consistency and citations that make a page credible enough to quote.

It helps, but AI leans on third-party sources too. Citability optimization and getting mentioned work together — we cover both.
There's overlap, but the target is different: being quotable and machine-readable for AI answers, not ranking in a link list.
