What exactly is AiVIS Cite Ledger?

AiVIS Cite Ledger is an evidence-backed AI citation audit and remediation system. It measures how AI models, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI, interpret, trust, and cite your web content. The result is a 0–100 CITE LEDGER score across seven weighted dimensions, with BRAG evidence-linked findings and prioritized fixes.

How is this different from Semrush, Ahrefs, or Clearscope?

Traditional SEO tools optimize for keyword ranking in traditional search results. AiVIS Cite Ledger audits citation readiness, the specific signals that determine whether AI answer engines retrieve and cite your content. A page can rank #1 on Google and be completely invisible to AI answer synthesis.

What is BRAG and how does it make findings trustworthy?

BRAG stands for Based-Retrieval-Auditable-Grading. It ties every audit finding to a real, traceable element on your page, a specific heading, schema block, meta tag, or content section, each carrying a unique evidence ID. You can open the element, verify the finding, and recheck it after a fix. No black boxes.

Is the free tier genuinely useful, or just a teaser?

The Observer (free) plan gives you a full composite CITE LEDGER score and all seven dimension letter grades, so you can see exactly where you stand and which categories are hurting you. BRAG evidence IDs and prioritized fix packs require a paid plan. Three audits per month, no credit card.

Mobile-First AI Indexing | AiVIS Cite Ledger

Many AI crawlers request the mobile version of your pages. If your mobile experience hides content, simplifies navigation, or strips structured data, AI sees a degraded version.

Mobile-First Crawling

Google and several AI crawlers default to mobile user-agents. They receive whatever your server sends for mobile requests, which may differ from desktop.

Responsive design that serves identical HTML is ideal. Separate mobile sites (m.example.com) or dynamic serving can create content parity issues.

Mobile Content Parity

Ensure your mobile layout includes all JSON-LD schema, meta tags, and structured content present on desktop.

Don't hide content behind 'Read more' toggles or mobile-specific collapsible sections, AI crawlers may not interact with these.

Mobile pages should have the same heading hierarchy as desktop. Don't remove H2/H3 headings for space.

Testing Mobile AI Visibility

Run an AiVIS Cite Ledger audit with your URL to check what AI crawlers receive. Compare the audit findings with what you see on desktop.

Use Chrome DevTools mobile emulation to inspect the HTML source your server delivers to mobile user-agents.
