Citehound scans sites for AI readiness across 16 checks and 10 AI crawlers, then offers services to fix technical issues and write content that answers customer
What it is
Citehound: the homepage
Citehound is a platform for AI readiness: it starts with a free scan that evaluates whether AI assistants can access, read and understand your site. The scan checks 16 technical and trust signals across three pillars—discoverability, technical foundation, and content trust—and rates your site on a 0–100 scale.
Once you know where you stand, Citehound offers three paid services. Pro provides weekly re-scans and citation checks that test whether Claude and ChatGPT name your brand in response to buyer questions. Fix handles the technical repairs: Citehound applies changes or delivers files with instructions, then verifies the fixes with a rescan. Beyond writes content: Citehound researches questions your customers ask, analyzes gaps on your pages, and writes four edited pieces a month for your approval.
The platform is grounded in category-specific playbooks for B2B SaaS, consumer brands and independent professionals. It integrates with Claude, n8n, and public APIs, and offers free generators for schema, robots.txt and llms.txt files.
