Is your site visible to AI search? Check it with one API call

Sprytools released CiteReady, a free API and web tool that audits a website's visibility to AI search assistants like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. The tool scores URLs 0–100 based on AI crawler access, llms.txt, structured data, citability, and technical factors, providing pass/warn/fail results and recommendations. A keyless API endpoint and a web version with a free tier of three audits per day are available.

AI assistants — ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews — increasingly answer questions by citing web pages instead of sending a click. Whether your site can be crawled, parsed, and quoted by them comes down to a handful of signals most SEO tools never check: robots.txt rules actually let AI crawlers in GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot ? A surprising number of sites block them by accident. llms.txt pointing models at your key content?I built a small audit engine that scores a URL 0–100 across exactly these dimensions and tells you what's failing. It's keyless to try: curl -X POST https://citeready-api.sprytools.com/v1/audit \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"url":"https://example.com"}' You get a per-category breakdown — AI crawler access, llms.txt, structured data, citability, technical — with a pass/warn/fail on each check and a concrete recommendation, e.g. "No robots.txt found — you lose the Sitemap hint and explicit AI-bot policy." Prefer pasting a URL? There's a web version: https://citeready.sprytools.com https://citeready.sprytools.com — free tier is 3 audits/day, no signup. Curious what scores people get here — what's the most surprising thing it flags on your site?
