vectorcite.digiocular.com isn't among the 9 pages its search returned or the 5 it cited.
Not named in the answer.
Several free AEO audit tools are available. Here are the main options, with what each does:
For a quick technical check, start with chudi.dev. For page-level fixes, try Solcrys or Kabloom. Free tiers and check counts change often, so confirm the current scope on each site before relying on the results.
Sites this answer cited, by number of citations: the pages to beat, or to be featured on.
One answer from Claude Haiku 5.5 with web search, Oct 14, 2026, 11:16 UTC. Answers change from run to run, so treat this as a sample, not a ranking.
Your page and the pages Claude cited for “free AEO audit tool”, ranked by our retrieval model. It’s a simulation of how an engine might order them; the observed answer is above.
Relevance is matched with Google's Gemini embeddings, alongside wording, site authority and freshness.
47 signals, each measured from the page itself: 31 pass, 5 weak, 11 missing. Open any signal for the detail and the fix. Every signal is documented in the rubric.
3 JSON-LD blocks found.
3 of 3 JSON-LD blocks parse cleanly.
Schema types include a informational-intent type (FAQPage).
FAQPage / QAPage schema present: directly cited by AI Overviews and Perplexity.
H1: "Be the sourceAI engines cite." (29 chars).
9 H2 headings: answer engines decompose a buyer query into subtopics and match each to an H2.
4 lists found.
No tables. Comparison / specification tables are heavily cited for product and technical queries.
1 of 1 images have alt text (100%).
Open Graph title, description, and image all present.
38 internal links (36 with descriptive anchors), 6 external.
73 KB HTML, 1 blocking script(s), 1 blocking stylesheet(s), 1/1 images without lazy-load.
Macro: max heading depth H3 (H1=1, H2=9, H3=8, H4=0). Meso: 3.2 chunks/section avg. Micro: 0.00% visual emphasis.
Fix: Three-level structural depth (validated +17.3% citation lift, GEO-SFE arXiv:2603.29979): use H1→H2→H3 hierarchy, 5+ paragraphs/lists per H2 section, and 1-5% visual emphasis (bold/italic/code) to flag retrieval-worthy spans.
0 links to authoritative domains (.edu, .gov, named sources).
Fix: Add 2-3 outbound citations to .edu / .gov / known publishers. The GEO paper measured this as the #2 citation-lift factor.
0 bracketed citations + 0 attribution phrases (per 200 words: 0%).
Fix: Add inline citations ([1], [2]) or attribution phrases ("according to X"). GEO factor #1 for credibility-weighted citation.
15 numerical facts (~1.9 per 100 words).
0 blockquotes + 0 long inline quotes.
Fix: Include at least one direct quote from a named expert, ideally in a <blockquote>. Quote-rich pages are 28% more likely to be cited (GEO paper).
Author byline present in both meta and visible markup.
No structured publish date. Freshness ranking can't be applied.
Fix: Add `<time datetime="...">` for published date AND a `<meta property="article:modified_time">` for updates.
No parseable date: engines treat undated content as stale.
Fix: Add a parseable date: `<time datetime="2026-01-15">` or `<meta property="article:modified_time">`.
157 multi-syllable words (~20.3% of total).
0 of 4 query terms appear in the first paragraph.
Fix: Open the page with a direct, complete answer to the buyer query: engines extract their citation snippet from the lead paragraph.
100% of query terms appear somewhere on the page.
66 distinct proper-noun entities mentioned.
Reading-ease score: 62.2 (target 60-70).
773 words. Target 300-2500: engines bias toward focused depth.
Unique-word ratio: 52.0% (target 40-60%).
7 definitional sentences.
First 100 words cover 0/4 query terms + definitional phrase ✓.
Fix: Put the answer in the FIRST 100 words: Perplexity's pipeline summarizes that exact span before reranking. "BLUF" (bottom-line-up-front) is the format that wins.
2/4 facets covered (what ✓, who ✗, how ✗, pricing ✓).
Fix: Cover what / who / how / pricing in the same URL. Chatoptic's 75k-page study found the top 4.8% of repeatedly-cited pages share this single-URL completeness.
No YouTube presence.
Fix: Embed (or link to) a YouTube video covering this topic. Ahrefs's 75k-brand study measured YouTube as the SINGLE strongest correlation (0.737) with AI citation across ChatGPT, AI Mode, and AI Overviews.
4/4 decomposed sub-questions addressed on the page.
Page served over HTTPS.
Canonical: https://vectorcite.digiocular.com
Viewport meta tag present.
Twitter Card metadata present.
Meta description: 252 chars (target 50-160).
robots.txt lets every AI search and answer crawler fetch this page.
/llms.txt found. Informational only: SE Ranking's study of ~300,000 domains (Nov 2025) found llms.txt doesn't affect how AI systems see or cite pages, so it carries no weight in this score.
4 first-person pronouns (0.5% of words). Target 0.5-3%.
0 case-study patterns matched (examples, results, hands-on phrases).
Fix: Add at least 2-3 concrete examples or mini-case-studies. "We helped X achieve Y" beats abstract claims; AI engines preferentially cite pages with measurable outcomes.
No `.author-bio` / `[itemprop="author"]` element found.
Fix: Add an author-bio section with the author's name, role, and credentials (degree, years of experience, certifications).
linked byline ✓, no reviewer, no date
Fix: Strengthen the byline: link author name to an author profile page; add "reviewed by" / "edited by" markup; mark published + modified dates explicitly.
No Wikidata entry matched. AI engines preferentially cite brands they recognize as knowledge-graph entities.
Fix: Create a Wikidata entry for "vectorcite" (and a Wikipedia article when notable). The single highest-leverage move for "is this a real, recognized brand?": answer engines key off knowledge graph membership.
0 press-mention pattern(s) matched.
Fix: Add a "Featured in" / "As seen in" strip listing publications that have covered you. External recognition is a top authority signal.
Privacy ✓, Terms ✓.
email ✓, phone ✗, address ✗, no contact link
Fix: Expose verifiable contact info: an email link, a phone number, and ideally a physical address marked up with `<address>` or `itemprop="address"`. Anonymous sites read as low-trust.
Good readiness, with closable gaps (63/100): 6 patches to close the gaps. Paste-ready patches, filled from what your page already states. Anything in [brackets] is yours to fill in before publishing.
