Check readiness
Enter a public HTTPS page and up to two additional pages on the same site. Inspect initial HTML, indexing directives and crawler rules, with evidence for every finding.

Understand the answer. Keep the evidence.
HowAICite is an AI citation intelligence and GEO platform for website readiness audits, saved AI-answer evidence, source analysis and improvement plans.
Save observations
Bring an actual AI answer into Evidence Lab. Preserve the exact question, source links, platform, observation date, market and language.
Open Evidence Lab →Act and compare
Review citation sources and competitor mentions, maintain improvement notes, then compare another observation in the same scope.
Open the improvement plan →Who it serves
Brand owners investigating how their content is understood; marketing teams collecting an AI-search baseline; and agencies evaluating evidence for a client. The current workspace is operated by one account. Team invitations and separate client accounts are not available yet.
Four outcomes, four definitions
| Outcome | What it means | How to establish it |
|---|---|---|
| SEO visibility | A page appears in ordinary search results. | Search engine performance and indexing data; not a readiness score. |
| AI visibility | The brand appears in an observed AI answer. | Review the saved answer and entity match. |
| AI recommendation | An answer positively selects the brand for a use case. | Review the answer in context. A mention alone is insufficient. |
| AI citation | An answer attributes a claim to a linked source. | Preserve the link and its relationship to the answer. A pasted URL alone is not verified support. |
What you can verify today
Free audits, private saved reports, prompt planning, manually supplied answer evidence, source analysis, improvement plans and portable exports are available. Automated observations use a separately configured OpenAI Web Search API connector; consumer ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity monitoring are not interchangeable with that API.
