Citability Score

What the score assesses

The score draws on 33+ checkpoints across five dimensions: topic coverage (thematic coverage measured against the knowledge graph environment), heading hierarchy (H1-H6 consistency and answerability per section), entity completeness (are all relevant entities named and ideally linked to a Wikidata QID via sameAs?), source citations (density of external sources, links to primary sources), structured data (complete Schema.org markup with author, datePublished and article body selectors).

Free Basic Check vs Full Check

The Basic Check is algorithmic (no AI call) and examines H1, H2 structure, paragraph length, number of lists, source links and text length — an immediate 0-credit score as a first orientation. The Full Check adds AI-based examinations: whether factual statements are sufficiently substantiated, whether entities are named consistently, whether the main questions are answered within the first 2-3 sentences of each section, and on request it generates Schema.org JSON-LD including Wikidata sameAs automatically.

Score ranges

• 80–100 — Highly citable: AI engines can parse the page clearly and name it as a source.
• 60–79 — Solid: Citable, but with room for optimisation in entity linking or sources.
• 40–59 — Improvement needed: Usually missing schema markup or an unclear heading structure.
• 0–39 — Barely citable: Hardly any structured data, dense running text without clear answerability.
