The stakes

The web just got more crowded — and pickier about what it shows.

Google now answers questions right on the results page, more than half of searches end without a click, and a flood of AI-generated pages is competing for what's left. Thin, generic, robot-sounding pages don't just rank lower — they get skipped by the AI answers too. The bar for getting seen at all went up.

of pages get almost no organic traffic from Google. Being live is not the same as being found.

The same signals ArticleGrade grades — E-E-A-T, factual depth, clean non-slop writing, structure, schema and author data — are exactly what both Google's ranking systems and AI answer engines use to decide what to surface and cite. "Will my page be seen at all — by Google and by AI?" is the universal stake for every website owner, on any CMS.

Who it's for

If it's a live web page, it can be graded — and it's probably being judged already.

Every website now competes for the same scarce prize: being seen at all. Whatever you publish, on whatever platform, the question is identical.

Bloggers & creators

Find out if your post is good enough to earn a click — not just a rank.

SEO & content teams

Score every page against a bar you set, at scale, with alerts on drops.

Agencies

Hand clients a defensible 0–100 quality number, not a vibe.

E-commerce & local

Category and product pages get judged too — grade them by URL.

The unifying thesis

All of them reward the same underlying signals: factual depth, genuine E-E-A-T, clean human writing, and sound structure, schema and authorship. If a page isn't good enough to be surfaced, it may as well not exist.

Publishers & news

Prove E-E-A-T and factual depth before you hit publish.

How it plays out

Three ways people use ArticleGrade.

From a single blogger asking "is this any good?" to a newsroom gating 200 pieces a week — same tool, same signals, different scale.

1Is this page any good?

Grade it in 20s

Paste the URL, read the free grade and top issue, and know in 20 seconds whether it needs work.

2Fix it and prove it

Remediate & re-audit

Run a deep audit, apply the phrase-level fixes it flags, then loop the auto remediate-and-re-audit until the page clears your threshold.

3Never let quality slip

Monitor & alert

Put pages in projects, set a pass threshold, and get an email alert the moment a score drops.

Maya · personal-finance blogger
"Is the writing good, or just invisible?"

Her budgeting guide sits on page 3, uncited by any AI answer. The free grade flags thin E-E-A-T and three AI-slop phrases. She rewrites the flagged lines, adds author credentials, re-audits — and clears the bar.

61 84 pass
Priya · content-agency lead
"Stop defending quality with adjectives."

She sets an 80 threshold, bulk-audits a client's library, and gets a per-page dimension breakdown. Weak pages surface instantly with phrase-level fixes; the remediate loop auto-lifts them. She walks into the client call with proof.

Bulk dimension breakdown at scale
Lena · digital publisher
"200 pieces a week — no human can check them all."

She wires the REST API into her CMS: every draft posts to the audit endpoint with an 80 threshold. Failing pieces bounce back to editors with fix notes before they go live; signed webhooks alert her team on drops.

What we score

Six dimensions. Twenty-six gates. One honest score.

A deep audit reads your page across the quality signals both search and AI reward — and flags the tells of machine-written slop. You get a number you can act on and defend.

Factual depth

Are claims sourced, specific and verifiable — or thin and unsupported?

E-E-A-T

Experience, expertise, authority and trust — the signals Google and AI scrutinize.

SEO structure

Title, meta, headings, links, schema and formatting — the on-page fundamentals.

Human voice

Does it read like a person wrote it — or a template with the serial numbers filed off?

Readability

Scannability, structure and flow — can a reader (and an answer engine) parse it fast?

+ AI-artifact detection

Flags the tells of unedited generation: hedging, filler, template leakage, hallucination.

How it works

URL in. Report out. Fixes on the page.

Three steps, from a live link to a page that clears your bar — with a live-fetch harness that recovers schema and author data even when a site blocks ordinary bots.

01 · GRADE

Fetch & grade

Paste any live URL. We read the rendered page — and recover its schema and author data even when the site blocks ordinary bots.

02 · DIAGNOSE

Score & diagnose

Get a 0–100 score, the dimension breakdown, and every issue tagged High / Med / Low with a specific fix note.

03 · REMEDIATE

Fix & re-audit

Apply fixes and re-audit in a loop until the page passes the bar you set. The remediate-and-re-audit loop can do it for you.

The report

This is what a graded page looks like.

Every report returns the score, the six-dimension breakdown, a pass/fail verdict against your threshold, and phrase-level issues — each with a severity and a specific fix note. No "improve your content" hand-waving. You see exactly which sentence is the problem and what to do about it.

Everywhere you work

Grade a page wherever you already are.

A free grader for a quick check, a browser extension for the page in front of you, and a REST API for teams publishing at volume.

Free grader

Any URL, no signup, ~20 seconds — a 0–100 score, verdict and top issue.

Browser extension

Grade the page you're looking at — your draft, a competitor's, a client's — without leaving the tab.

</>

REST API + webhooks

POST /api/v1/audit with a URL; signed webhooks push results to you. ag_live_ keys.

WordPress plugin & widget

Grade inside your CMS, or drop the embeddable widget on your own site.

Bulk & scheduled audits

Score a whole site on a cadence, not one page at a time.

Publish gate in CI

Read back {"verdict":"pass"} and block anything under your bar from going live.

# gate any URL before it publishes curl -X POST https://articlegrade.com/api/v1/audit \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ag_live_…" \ -d '{"url":"…","threshold":70}' # → {"verdict":"pass","score":82}
The math

Cheaper than an editor. Far cheaper than getting skipped.

A deep audit costs roughly $0.17 in compute and comes back in minutes — versus a human editor's hourly rate for the same read, or the slow, invisible cost of a page that neither Google nor an AI answer ever surfaces. Grade first, fix what matters, publish with proof.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does this work on my site?

Yes — it audits any live page by URL, on any CMS: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, headless, or custom.

Does it help me get cited by AI, not just ranked by Google?

It grades the same quality signals — E-E-A-T, factual depth, clean human writing, structure and schema — that both Google's ranking systems and AI answer engines reward when they decide what to surface and cite. Better signals, better odds of being seen in both places.

What's the difference between the free grade and a deep audit?

The free grade is a fast structural + SEO screen (about 20 seconds, no signup). A deep audit adds E-E-A-T, AI-artifact and factual-depth evaluation across six dimensions and 26 gates.

Can it fix the page, not just grade it?

Yes — the remediate-and-re-audit loop auto-fixes and re-scores until the page clears your threshold.

Can it read pages that block bots?

Yes — it recovers schema and author data even from sites that block ordinary bots.

What does an audit cost?

Roughly $0.17 in compute per deep audit. Plans bundle audits — see pricing above.

Can I automate it?

Yes — a REST API (ag_live_ keys), signed webhooks, plus bulk and scheduled audits.
