Key Takeaways

• Use the RQM AI Content Readability Scorer to evaluate your content before going live.

• Most good content goes uncited by AI because the information is buried too deep.

• Five structural criteria determine whether AI can extract and cite your content. Most pages fail at least two.

How The RQM AI Content Readability Scorer Checks Your Content

Every page that gets retrieved and cited by AI tends to do five structural things well. Every page that gets skipped tends to fail at least two of them.

Here's how the Red Queen Marketing AI Content Readability Scorer checks your content:

It leads with a direct answer. The first paragraph answers the page's primary question in two to four sentences — no preamble, no context-first, no "in this article we will explore." The answer comes first.

It uses question-based headings. H2 and H3 headings are phrased as the questions a reader (or an AI) would actually ask. Each heading is followed immediately by a direct, extractable answer before any elaboration.

Its paragraphs are the right length. RAG systems chunk at the paragraph level. Paragraphs over 100 words become difficult to extract cleanly. The sweet spot is 40 to 80 words, containing enough context to be useful, but remains short enough to be retrieved as a standalone unit.

Its target keyword appears early. AI retrieval is query-driven. If the topic your page is about does not appear in the first paragraph, the page is ranked lower for relevance before it is even read.

Its brand or entity name is used consistently. AI cross-references content across sources. Consistent use of your entity name — the exact name you use everywhere else — helps AI associate the page with your brand rather than treating it as generic content.

The scorer above evaluates your content against all five criteria, gives you a score out of 100, and tells you precisely what to fix.

What To Do With Your Score

Here are actions you can take after receiving your evaluation:

• 80–100: Highly extractable. Your structure is AI-ready. Focus next on off-site citation signals which includes earned media, linked press coverage, and entity consistency across external sources. See Your Digital PR Coverage Is Feeding AI.

  
  

• 55–79: Partially extractable. Structural gaps are limiting your citation rate. Fix your lowest-scoring criterion first. One targeted change typically moves the needle more than a full rewrite.

  
  

• Below 55: Low extractability. Restructure before promoting. Start with three quick wins: add a direct opening answer, reframe two headings as questions, and break any paragraph over 100 words into two.

The brands building AI citation authority right now are not producing more content. They are producing content AI can read and use.
