AI citation checker for health blogs

Health is the strictest niche AI cites — a claim about the body needs a qualified author and a real study behind it. This audit checks your health post the way AI sees it, including three health-specific checks.

Free & unlimited · No signup · Includes the 24 core checks plus health checks

Honest note: this scores readiness, not a citation guarantee. No tool can force an AI engine to cite health content. This is general information, not medical advice.

What AI looks for in a health blog post

Author credentials. MD, PhD, RD — or a named medical reviewer. Health pages by an anonymous author are almost never cited. If you are not medically qualified, get a qualified person to review the post and name them.

Studies and authoritative sources. Link the study itself (PubMed), or NIH, WHO, CDC, Mayo Clinic. “Studies show” with no link is not a citation — AI needs the source it can verify.

A health disclaimer. “This is general information, not medical advice — talk to your doctor” is expected on every health page. Its absence is a trust signal in the wrong direction.

Precise, dated facts. Dosages, ranges and recommendations with dates and sources. Vague wellness claims (“boosts immunity”) are not quotable; specific, sourced statements are.

Health blog FAQ

Do I need to be a doctor to get cited?

For medical claims, effectively yes — either as the author or as a named reviewer (“Medically reviewed by Dr. X, MD”). General wellness topics are more forgiving, but credentials still decide.

Which sources count?

Peer-reviewed studies (PubMed), NIH, WHO, CDC, Mayo Clinic, NHS. A health claim linked to another blog is not a source.

What should the disclaimer say?

Something plain: “This is general information only, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or another qualified health professional before changing your diet, supplements or treatment.”
