Content Scoring: Page-Level AI Readiness Audit
Content Scoring is Citadex's page-level audit tool. It analyzes any URL and returns a detailed breakdown of how well that page is structured for AI engines, with specific prioritized recommendations.
Running a Content Score
- Navigate to Content Scoring in the sidebar
- Enter the URL you want to audit
- Click Analyze
- Results appear within 30–60 seconds
You can analyze any publicly accessible URL — not just pages from your own projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Content Scoring different from running a Project Scan?
A Project Scan is a comprehensive multi-page analysis that considers your entire site's entity consistency. Content Scoring is a quick, focused audit of a single URL — ideal for auditing specific pages, competitor pages, or newly published articles.
Q: My page scores lower than expected. What's most likely wrong?
For most pages, the most impactful missing elements are: (1) JSON-LD schema markup, (2) a clear entity definition statement, and (3) FAQ sections with structured markup. These three changes alone typically move a page from the 40–50 range to 65–75.
Q: Can I score my competitors' pages?
Yes. Enter any publicly accessible URL to score it. This is one of the most powerful use cases — understanding why competitors rank higher in AI answers.
