Example prompt: Can you run a citability audit on https://myblog.com/article/ai-future and tell me my score plus what I need to fix so AI systems will actually cite my page?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, rubric-based citability score for a specific public URL to understand how visible it is to AI crawlers and generative search engines. It is ideal for content creators, SEO/GEO practitioners, and developers wanting actionable fixes at low cost ($0.01 per audit). Prefer this over generic SEO tools when the goal is specifically AI-citation readiness rather than traditional search ranking.

## Known failure modes

- URL not publicly accessible — returns error indicating the page could not be fetched
- Invalid or malformed URL — returns validation error
- Page behind authentication or paywall — audit may be incomplete or fail
- robots.txt disallows crawling — may affect audit completeness
- Rate limiting or server timeout on the target URL — audit returns partial or error result
