CiteTrust™ — What's New

Cleaner free results — see at a glance how many checks passed and how many need attention right after your score, before you even enter your email.

Score explanation moved to your email — what each score range means for AI visibility now arrives with your full results, alongside the checks themselves.

Clearer Pro Audit card — tightened copy on what Pro checks, what it costs, and that it works on any URL — not just the one you just scanned.

CiteTrust Pro is live — the Pro page now has a real checkout, not a placeholder. Enter your site and email to get your full audit.

Understand your score — free results now include a table explaining exactly what each score range (AI-Ready, Getting There, Behind, Critical) means for your AI visibility.

Free vs Pro, side by side — a clear comparison table on the Pro page so you know exactly what the upgrade adds.

FAQs added — common questions about CiteTrust and CiteTrust Pro are now answered directly on the page.

Clearer messaging throughout — tightened copy across the checker and Pro pages so it's obvious what you're getting and what it costs.

Fixed Pro checkout on re-purchase — You can now always get a fresh Pro report as soon as you need a new website audit, no time restrictions.

Email template improvements — clearer free-check results email with more useful next steps.

Streamlined report output for a cleaner report.

Faster, smoother free check flow — reduced friction on the check button and improved reliability under load.

Better test coverage — additional automated tests behind the scenes to keep results accurate.

Added AI checks — the audit now runs 40 checks (up from 37), covering more of the signals that determine whether AI engines cite your site.

Improved UX — clearer results presentation and a smoother flow from score to fix.

Priority Actions in Pro reports — the top 3 highest-impact fixes are now ranked on page 1 with impact and effort ratings, so you know exactly where to start.

Projected score gain — Pro reports now show how many points you'll gain by fixing the top 3 issues.

Smarter summary line — score interpretation now adjusts to your actual performance instead of one-size-fits-all messaging.

Improved llms.txt scoring — now validates file structure and content, not just presence. Partial or malformed files are flagged separately.

New AI bot meta tag checks — added detection for DeepSeek and Grok crawlers alongside existing ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot checks.

Fix Pack add-on (£49) — available for Pro users. Paste-ready code for every flagged issue, tailored to your site. Saves roughly 3 hours of dev time.

Image check consolidation — no longer flags two separate warnings when no images are found.

Bug fixes — fixed projected score calculation when multiple priority fixes share a category; fixed singular/plural grammar in AI bot meta tag check; improved PDF generation stability.

Fixed false positive on canonical tag detection — trailing-slash URLs are now correctly matched and no longer flagged as missing canonicals.

Improved content readability scoring — aligned with LLM citation preferences, targeting Grade 8–10 reading level for optimal AI extractability.

New citation signals check — measures timestamp presence and source attribution, both strong signals for AI citation probability.
