What the score checks
AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews pull short, self-contained answers from pages. This tool scores the same things that make a passage easy to lift and trust, using ten checks that add up to 100 points. It reads your headings, answers, FAQs, date and author first, then scores.
Direct answers (20)
Does each heading get a clear 40 to 60 word answer straight away?
Answer-first intro (10)
Does the opening paragraph answer the question instead of warming up?
Question headings (8)
Do your subheadings match how people actually ask?
Definitions (8)
Are key terms defined in one clean "X is Y" sentence?
Lists and tables (8)
Are steps and comparisons structured so they are easy to extract?
Readability (8)
Short sentences and short paragraphs that read well out of context.
FAQ section (12)
A real FAQ with question and answer pairs.
Structured data (6)
Article and FAQ schema. Only scored if you paste page source.
Specifics (5)
Numbers and examples instead of vague claims.
Freshness and author (15)
A visible, recent date (10) and a named author (5).
How to use it
- Copy one page or article from anywhere and paste it in. Headings, lists and tables are kept automatically. Plain text works too.
- Click Score my content and read your grade: Needs work (under 50), Good (50 to 74) or AI-ready (75 and above).
- Work through the top 3 fixes first, then re-run it. Each fix shows how many points you gain.

Frequently asked questions
What is an answer-readiness score?
An answer-readiness score is a number from 0 to 100 that shows how easily an AI assistant or Google can pull a clear, quotable answer from your content. It rewards direct answers under question headings, clean definitions, lists, FAQ sections, schema, specifics and visible dates.
Is this tool really free and private?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, sent to a server or stored.
What is a good score?
Under 50 means the content needs work, 50 to 74 is good, and 75 or more is AI-ready. Fix the top three items first because they are ranked by how many points they add.
Does a high score guarantee ChatGPT or Google will cite me?
No. Nobody can guarantee citations. The score measures how easy your content is to quote and trust, which improves your chances, but rankings and AI answers also depend on your site authority, links and the query.
Why is the schema check sometimes skipped?
Schema (JSON-LD) lives in the page code, not the visible text. When you copy from a rendered page it is not included, so the check is skipped and the score is scaled to 100 with no penalty. Paste the page source to include it.
How long should my answers be?
Aim for about 40 to 60 words directly under each question-style heading. That is long enough to be complete and short enough for an AI assistant to quote whole.
