Free E-E-A-T checker: do AI engines trust your site enough to cite it?
Paste any URL and test the machine-readable trust layer — the signals AI engines verify before recommending a source: structured data, Organization schema, author attribution, machine-readable dates and provenance pages.
What does the E-E-A-T checker test?
Deterministic checks from the full iCited audit's trust category: JSON-LD structured data presence, Organization schema with identity details, author attribution on content, visible and machine-readable published/updated dates, and the provenance pages (about, contact) that make a business checkable.
Why does E-E-A-T matter for AI citations?
When two sources answer a question equally well, engines cite the one they can verify. Experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust are read by machines through markup — anonymous, unverifiable sites lose the tiebreak.
What should I check after E-E-A-T?
Trust is one of four categories — run the free 29-check audit for AEO, crawlability and content structure too, or test quotability directly with the AEO checker.
