Make your posts answer their own questions before AI tools move on
Answer Density grades every post on how fast it answers the questions in its own headings, then offers a one-click rewrite for the ones that fall short.
Answer Density measures how fast your posts answer the questions in their own headings. The faster you answer, the more often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude pick your post when someone asks that question.
Every post gets graded on how directly it answers each of its question headings. The dashboard surfaces your weakest posts so you know exactly where to start. A score above 50 means AI tools can extract the answer cleanly. Below 50 means they probably move on.
Measures how fast your posts answer their own headings
Click AI Rewrite on any weak post. The plugin reads up to 500 words of your paragraph for context, drafts a direct-answer first sentence in plain grade 4 to 5 English, and runs it through the same classifier the dashboard uses. You see the verdict next to the suggestion. Regenerate until you are happy. Apply when you are.

AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude scan a page for the answer to the user’s question. They read the heading, then the sentence right after. If sentence one is “Before we dive in…” or “Picture this…” they move on to a competitor. If sentence one says “X is Y because Z,” your page is the source they cite.
Answer Density is the metric we built to measure that one specific thing. It does not grade SEO. It does not grade word count. It grades the structural signal that controls citation pickup: how fast your post answers its own headings.
The fix is usually a single sentence move per heading. Most weak posts go from a score of 20 to a score of 70 with under fifteen minutes of editing.
It measures how fast your post answers the questions in its own headings. For every question-shaped heading (What is X?, How do I do Y?, Why does Z happen?), the plugin reads the next sentence and checks if it directly answers the heading. Direct answers score well. Buried answers score lower. No answer at all scores low.
A score above 50 is good. Below 50 means the post probably will not get picked up by AI tools, even if the right information is somewhere inside the post further down the page.
AI Rewrite is a Pro tool that drafts a direct-answer first sentence for any heading the dashboard flags. It reads up to 500 words of your paragraph for context, drafts a tighter opener in plain English, and tells you whether the result will score Direct or still needs work before you apply it.
Yes. Each generation costs 1 AI credit. Pro plans include monthly credits. The verdict check after generation is free, so regenerating until you get a Direct result only costs the per-pass credit.
Click Dismiss in the top right of the card. The plugin marks the heading as user-asserted-fine and stops flagging it. The score recalculates to count it as a direct answer. Dismissals are remembered until you change the heading text.
No. Answer Density grades one specific thing: citation readiness for AI search. It works alongside Yoast, Rank Math, and traditional SEO signals. Posts that score well on Answer Density also tend to perform better in Google AI Overviews and traditional search.
