How the score works
The optimizer measures five factors that mirror how AI assistants actually evaluate potential citations:
- Claim density - how many declarative statements per sentence. Assistants lift claims, not prose.
- Fact density - numbers, percents, dates, proper nouns. More concrete = more citable.
- Clarity - Flesch reading ease and sentence-length distribution. Extractable content is shorter-sentenced, clearer content.
- Source backing - outbound links per 100 words. Assistants reward content that cites its own sources.
- Named entities - proper noun density. Every brand, product and person name strengthens the entity graph.
How to raise your score
Replace hedged prose ("it is often said that…") with direct claims backed by numbers. Link to the source of every statistic. Use proper nouns instead of pronouns where you can - "ChatGPT leads" beats "the market leader leads". The full content pattern is in our write content AI assistants cite guide.
