Dublin, Ireland – December 22, 2025 – Pressonify.ai, a press release distribution platform engineered for AI visibility, today announced the launch of its Citability Scoring system, a new capability designed to measure and optimize press releases for citation by artificial intelligence search engines and content systems. The Citability Scorer analyzes every press release across four critical dimensions, enabling organizations to understand exactly how their announcements will perform in the AI-driven information economy.
The Citability Scoring system evaluates press release content across four distinct dimensions, each weighted to reflect its importance in AI citation algorithms. Information Gain accounts for 40% of the score, measuring the presence of unique statistics, quotes, and specific data points that AI systems prioritize when indexing and citing content. Structure comprises 25% of the score, assessing the clarity of headings, implementation of lists, FAQ sections, and schema coverage that enable AI systems to parse and understand content efficiently. Freshness represents 20% of the score, evaluating timeliness, news value, and recency signals that determine whether content merits immediate indexing. Authority makes up the remaining 15% of the score, verifying domain credibility and source authenticity. Press releases that achieve a Citability Score of 70 or higher demonstrate significantly enhanced potential for citation by AI search engines. This threshold represents the point at which content possesses sufficient structure, authority, and information density to be reliably parsed, understood, and referenced by artificial intelligence systems that now drive a substantial portion of online information discovery.
Pressonify's platform automatically identifies and extracts the most important information from every press release, presenting scannable bullet points that AI systems can quickly parse and directly cite. This Key Highlights Extraction feature removes the friction in how artificial intelligence engines consume press release content, eliminating the need for AI systems to manually extract or infer the most newsworthy elements. The extracted key points appear prominently in search results and are readily available for citation by AI-powered tools, ensuring your most important announcements receive appropriate visibility.
A significant portion of press release citations now occurs through "People Also Ask" sections in search results and through direct quotation in AI chatbot responses. Recognizing this shift, Pressonify's platform automatically extracts implicit questions embedded within your press release content and generates structured FAQ sections that address the queries your announcement naturally raises. These AI-generated FAQ sections appear in Google's "People Also Ask" feature and are cited verbatim by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other major AI systems. Rather than leaving these questions unanswered, Pressonify ensures your content directly addresses common queries, maximizing the likelihood that your press release will be selected as the authoritative source for AI-powered responses.
While traditional press release distribution focused on human readability, Pressonify was architected from the ground up to address how machines understand and categorize announcements. Every press release published on Pressonify automatically includes comprehensive structured data markup that enables AI systems to rapidly understand, categorize, and cite your content. This structured data foundation includes:
This comprehensive schema markup is precisely the foundation AI systems rely upon to understand, categorize, and ultimately cite your announcements. Traditional press release distribution platforms treat structured data as optional; Pressonify treats it as foundational infrastructure.
Beyond content scoring and optimization, Pressonify distinguishes itself through proactive search engine notification. When you publish a press release on Pressonify, the platform immediately notifies search engines via IndexNow protocol, submitting all 11 ADP (Authorized Digital Publisher) endpoints for instant indexing. This ensures your announcement enters the search index within minutes rather than days, giving your content the maximum possible window for citation and visibility.
While many press release platforms continuously react to algorithmic updates from search engines and AI systems, Pressonify was purpose-built from inception to address the fundamental dynamics of the emerging citation economy. The platform recognizes that AI systems prioritize structured, authoritative, information-dense content from verifiable sources. Rather than retrofitting these capabilities onto legacy technology, Pressonify integrated them into core platform architecture.
