Citability Score

The score follows the rules of the GEO audit, the hints sit alongside

Since October 2026 Rankmio measures citability by the same rules everywhere: in the GEO audit, in the page analysis and live in the Content Studio editor. The score counts verifiable requirements such as one H1, at least two H2 headings in longer texts, a clean heading order, short paragraphs, lists or tables, and for posts author and date. This check runs without AI and costs nothing.

Content hints that do not count towards the score sit alongside: schema, substantiated facts, clear statements, sources and the search term in headings and text. Only the assessment of named entities uses AI.

Score ranges

• 80–100 — Highly citable: The page meets almost all requirements, AI engines can parse it clearly.
• 60–79 — Solid: Citable, usually one structure point such as lists or a second H2 is missing.
• 40–59 — Improvement needed: Several structure points are missing, often author and date on posts.
• 0–39 — Hardly citable: Dense running text without structure, or a mandatory requirement such as crawler access is missing.
