Source trust tool
Decide whether a source is trustworthy before citing it
#GEO pages need external sources, but not every link improves trust. AI answer systems are more likely to rely on official documentation, original research, industry reports, named authors, and pages with stable update signals. Thin aggregators, stale articles, and unsupported numbers can weaken E-E-A-T.
Source quality scorecard
Scoring dimensions
Signals that make a source stronger for AI citations
#| Dimension | Positive signal | Risk signal |
|---|---|---|
| Authority | Official docs, research institutions, standards, government, or education domains. | Anonymous blogs, thin aggregators, or no author context. |
| Topical fit | Directly explains the topic, platform rule, or data methodology. | Only mentions the keyword without supporting the claim. |
| Freshness | Updated in the last 12-18 months or has a clear version date. | Old page, no update date, or rules likely changed. |
| Transparency | Shows author, methodology, sample, sources, or verifiable data. | Provides conclusions without sources or methods. |
| Citation safety | Publicly accessible, stable URL, and no heavy ad or redirect pattern. | Paywall, redirect chain, exaggerated marketing, or weak fit for YMYL claims. |

- Use original research or methodology-backed reports for trends, market size, and performance claims.
- For case pages, keep at least one first-party case source and one third-party supporting source.

| Input set | One page URL, a clear question, and a few evidence notes. | Only a topic or a keyword with no page context. |
| Actionability | Prioritized changes tied to the current page and page modules. | Generic advice that could apply to any site. |
| Validation | A re-run plan, a review checklist, and a publish decision. | A one-time answer with no follow-up loop. |

- Prefer original observations, screenshots, data exports, or tested examples over generic claims.
- Keep privacy-sensitive data, client identifiers, and unpublished business metrics out of pasted inputs.
- Re-run the tool after content changes so the checklist reflects the current page, not an older draft.
