Score each page the way AI answers read it
An AI readiness page audit scores how well a page can be quoted in an AI answer. Proofsource judges each URL you choose on eight dimensions, such as answer-first, trust and clarity, and backs every score with a quote from the page. A heatmap shows weak spots across pages and a where-to-invest view ranks what to fix. Content and SEO teams get a page-by-page plan.

| /compare/otter | 5 | 6 | 8 |

What is an AI readiness page audit?
AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews do not rank a page and send a click. They read pages, pull out passages that answer the question, and decide which brands and claims to repeat. A page can be crawlable and fast and still be hard to quote: the answer is buried under a long intro, claims have no source, or the wording is vague. An AI readiness page audit judges the content itself against what makes a passage easy for an engine to lift and trust.
Good audits look at qualities such as whether the page answers first, whether claims are supported, and whether the language is clear and specific. A score alone is not enough to act on, so the useful audits show the evidence: the exact sentence that earned a low trust score, or the paragraph that answers the question too late.
Proofsource judges each URL you pick on eight dimensions and puts a quote from the page behind every score. The judge is opt-in and charged in credits only for the pages it actually judged. Results roll into a heatmap across pages and a where-to-invest view that groups pages by their weakest dimension. For any URL, a page insight gives a one-line summary and the passages that answer a given question, so you can see what an engine would likely lift.

Questions about AI readiness page audit
What does an AI readiness page audit check?
It checks whether a page is easy for an AI answer engine to quote and trust. Proofsource scores each page on eight dimensions, such as whether it answers first, whether claims are supported and whether the language is clear.
Why does every score have a quote?
A score alone does not tell you what to change. The quote shows the exact sentence or passage that earned the score, so the fix is obvious.
Do I have to judge every page on my site?
No. The judge is opt-in: you choose the URLs. Most teams start with pricing, comparison, feature and guide pages.
How is the page quality judge billed?
It is charged in credits, only for work that ran: the pages you chose to judge.
What is the where-to-invest view?
It groups pages by their weakest dimension. If trust is low on many pages, one change, such as adding sources to claims, can lift all of them.
What is page insight?
Page insight gives a one-line summary of a URL and the passages on it that answer a question you type. It shows what an engine would most likely lift from the page.
Does this help with ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews?
Yes. Every engine that searches the web reads pages and lifts passages. Pages that answer first, back their claims and speak clearly are easier for every one of them to quote.
How is this different from Rankscale or Otterly page audits?
Rankscale and Otterly both run thorough AI readiness audits with fixes, and Rankscale backs its score with more than 90 checks. Proofsource puts a quote from your page behind every score and adds a where-to-invest view across pages, next to your AI visibility and citation data.
