This is the at-a-glance reference for every number in SuperSchema’s scoring. For what these mean and how they move, see "How scoring works" and "Understanding your scores."

### The three scores

| Score | Scale | What it measures |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Schema quality score | 0 to 100 | Completeness and quality depth of one generated schema |
| SuperSchema Score | 0 to 100 | Site AI-visibility across five weighted categories |
| Citation Score | % of answers | Share of tested AI answers that cite your domain |

### SuperSchema Score: category weights

| Category | Weight | Checks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Access | 15% | robots.txt allows AI bots · no noindex blocking · pages load without JavaScript |
| Content | 25% | word count over 300 · good text-to-HTML ratio · meaningful paragraphs |
| Structure | 15% | proper H1 heading · logical heading order · lists and tables for data |
| Schema | 25% | valid JSON-LD present · relevant schema types · complete required fields |
| Alternate | 20% | Markdown version available · plain text alternative · files are accessible |

### SuperSchema Score: bands

| Score | Band |
| --- | --- |
| 96 to 100 | Super |
| 80 to 95 | Good |
| 60 to 79 | Fair |
| 40 to 59 | Needs Work |
| 0 to 39 | Critical |

### SuperSchema Score: letter grades

| Score | Grade | Label |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 97 to 100 | A+ | Elite |
| 93 to 96 | A | Excellent |
| 90 to 92 | A- | Great |
| 87 to 89 | B+ | Good |
| 83 to 86 | B | Above Average |
| 80 to 82 | B- | Fair |
| 77 to 79 | C+ | Needs Work |
| 73 to 76 | C | Below Average |
| 70 to 72 | C- | Poor |
| 60 to 69 | D | Critical Issues |
| 0 to 59 | F | Major Problems |

### Schema quality score: tiers

| Score | Rating |
| --- | --- |
| 90 to 100 | Excellent (A range) |
| 75 to 89 | Good (B range) |
| 60 to 74 | Fair (C to D range) |
| 0 to 59 | Needs Improvement (F) |

> **Note:** You can refine each schema up to two times for free, which typically adds points on the Quality Depth side. Aim for a strong, realistic schema score (roughly 80 and up) on important pages rather than perfection everywhere.

### What to aim for

- SuperSchema Score: reaching Good (80 to 95) already puts you ahead of most sites; 95 and up triggers the "AI Visibility Champion!" celebration.
- Schema quality score: 80 or higher on the pages that matter most.
- Citation Score: higher is better, and it tends to rise as your SuperSchema Score improves.

> **Note:** The in-app report is always the source of truth for a given page or domain. These tables describe how the numbers are bucketed, not a promise about any specific site.
