Five repositories, every one of them MIT and dependency-free — fork them, change them, ship them inside your own product. The one thing we deliberately do not license that way is the “Measured by Clear Cited” badge, which is CC BY-ND 4.0: a badge anyone may redraw stops being evidence that a measurement happened. Everything else here you are meant to take.
aeo-audit-lite
Self-check whether an AI engine mentions your brand — runs offline in mock mode, or live with your own API key. Python, standard library only.
citation-ready
The same engine that powers our Citation-Readiness Check, as a CLI you run against your own pages.
schema-for-ai
Copy-paste JSON-LD templates tuned for AI answer extraction, plus a validate.py to check yours. (Prefer a form? Use the on-site generator below.)
llms-txt-generator
The source behind the in-browser llms.txt generator — one HTML file and one JS file, no build step and no server. Clone it and open it.
schema-generator
The source behind the on-site JSON-LD generator, same shape — runs entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Interactive tools (no signup to use)
llms.txt Generator
Enter your domain and key pages → an llms.txt linted against the spec before you copy or download. Built in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
JSON-LD Schema Generator
A short form → Organization, Product, and FAQ structured data, validated for the fields AI and Google need with where-it-goes notes. Copy with one click.
Are You Cited by AI?
Do ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Grok recommend you — or your competitors? Request the free check; the measured answer arrives by email as a 2-minute video + 1-pager.
Citation-Readiness Check
Paste your page → a signal-by-signal readiness score against the structural patterns our AI Visibility Index observes on cited pages (schema, answer-first structure, freshness, entity, llms.txt). Observed correlations, not guarantees — the same engine ships as the open-source citation-ready CLI.
AI + SEO Readiness Checklist
Tick a weighted checklist → a live readiness score with the top-3 highest-impact fixes surfaced, and download the unchecked items as your to-do list.
AI Visibility Scorecard
Ten yes/no questions → a self-scored band and a prioritized (P1/P2/P3) to-do built from your answers.
AI Visibility Value Calculator
Your own numbers in — every assumption editable — grounded in our measured category share-of-model (with confidence intervals) → an honest, directional range of the annual pipeline in play. A range, not a promise.
Find Your Fit
Answer 7 questions → the right audit, retainer, and add-ons for your goal and budget, with an estimated price. No signup.

Want proof it works? See real citation receipts from our measurement in the niche examples gallery — the prompt, the engine, the date, and what got cited.
Most AEO optimizes only the slice of citations you own. Here's the whole map — all four tiers AI cites from, and how much of it we actually work.

Most AEO optimizes the ~44% you own. Clear Cited works all four tiers.
Control ~86% · influence ~94% · the last ~6% earned — worked, not guaranteed.
