Citable: SEO and AI Visibility

What a full-check-style engagement looks like against a live site — this one run by Citable on its own nine-day-old domain, with every number bought from the live API.

Total spend: $0.16 (audit $0.01 + domain overview $0.03 + keyword research $0.06 + 5 rank checks $0.06), settled per call in USDC on Solana via x402. A young domain with zero footprint is the honest baseline, so that is what this report shows.

1 · The page: audit score 93/100

citable_onpage_audit on the homepage — $0.01. Strong fundamentals (title 49 chars, canonical, OG, one H1, 895 words, robots + llms.txt in place). Three warnings, in the order the audit weights them:

• meta-description — Rewrite the meta description to 70–160 characters
• answer-headings — Add headings phrased as the questions buyers ask — engines lift answers from beneath them

article-signals — Add datePublished and author (visible, meta, or JSON-LD) so engines can date and attribute the content

All three route to free skills in this pack: geo-rewrite for the answer-shaped headings, the page template for meta length and article signals; citability-audit re-checks the result for $0.01 after deploy.

2 · The domain: zero footprint, and that's the point

citable_domain_overview — $0.03. Organic keywords:

0 · top 10:

0 · est. traffic:

0. The domain went live 2026-08-23; Google has indexed no rankings yet. No dashboard subscription needed to learn that — three cents.

3 · What to target: keyword research on seo api

citable_keyword_research — $0.06. 106 keywords found for the seed; the ones with volume, deduplicated:

The wedge is visible in one table

“seo ranking api” — volume 390, difficulty 9 (and “seo rank api” at difficulty 0) versus “seo api” at difficulty 40. Real buyer questions observed: what is api in seo · what is seo api · how sepo · is seo still relevant · what is seo analyst.

4 · Where it ranks today: nowhere, verified

citable_rank_check × 5 — $0.012 each. Position checked to depth ~20; who holds the top instead:

The plan the data wrote

1. Apply the three audit fixes with the free skills — then re-audit ($0.01) to prove them.
2. Build the “seo ranking api” page first: difficulty 9 at volume 390 is the cheapest ranking this domain can win.
3. Put the eight keywords above on the monitor skill — ~$0.10/week — so movement shows up as a diff, not a guess.
4. AI-citation leg (ai-check, $0.05/engine) runs when a real buyer question is supplied — this pack never invents one.
