The score for AI visibility
CitedIQ is three plain scores out of 100 that measure how findable and recommendable you are to the AI engines your customers now ask.
See your CitedIQ scoreWhat it is
When someone asks an AI engine for the best business like yours, it names a short list. CitedIQ measures whether you are on it. It breaks the answer into three honest scores, so you see exactly where you stand and exactly what is holding you back.
How well your site is built, structured, and written for both people and machines. Speed, clarity, depth, and whether the pages give an engine something clean to read.
How findable you are in traditional search. Keyword relevance, technical health, local signals, and the fundamentals that still drive most of your traffic today.
How visible you are to AI engines specifically. Entity consistency, structured data, direct-answer content, and the earned citations that lead an engine to name you.
How to read it
Every CitedIQ score maps to one of four tiers. They give an honest reading, in both directions. A strong site scores strong. A thin one scores thin. No manufactured alarm.
The honest part
This is the score most tools inflate, and the one CitedIQ is most careful with. On-page schema and clean content are the foundation, necessary, but not sufficient. Being named by an AI engine is earned over time, through consistency, citations, and real presence across the web. So a business with a perfect foundation but no earned footprint scores in the Emerging range, honestly, with the foundation built and the earned signals still pending. A score should tell you the truth, not sell you a fix.
Where it comes from
CitedIQ is the scoring framework created by Verocited, a done-for-you AI visibility firm based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was not designed in theory. It came from measuring and improving the AI visibility of real businesses, and watching which signals actually moved whether an engine named them.
The score is only the diagnosis. Verocited also does the work to improve it, through the Deticia Engine methodology, so the number is a starting point, not a report you are left to act on alone. A CitedIQ score answers a simple question: when your next customer asks AI for a business like yours, are you the answer?
A single blended number hides where the problem is. A business can have a beautiful website, decent traditional SEO, and still be nearly invisible to AI, because those are different problems with different fixes. Splitting the score into Website Quality, SEO, and AI Searchability shows exactly which one is costing you customers, so the work goes where it matters.
Common questions
A CitedIQ score is three honest numbers out of 100, Website Quality, SEO, and AI Searchability, that measure how findable and recommendable a business is to AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Grok. Each maps to one of four tiers: Invisible, Emerging, Developing, or Authority.
It measures earned visibility to AI engines, not on-page potential. It reflects whether you have built the entity consistency, structured data, direct-answer content, and citations across the web that actually lead engines to name you. A strong foundation with no earned footprint scores in the Emerging range, because being cited is earned over time.
A traditional SEO audit measures how you rank on a page of links. CitedIQ adds the part that now decides discovery: whether AI engines that return one answer, and name only a few businesses, will name you. It measures both, separately and honestly, because they are not the same problem.
