How to Use the AI Visibility Checker
- Enter your brand name, website, main service and city. The city is optional but makes the test prompts more realistic for local businesses.
- Review your readiness score and the biggest gaps holding you back.
- Test the prompts. Open each one in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google with one click. Use a private window or signed-out session for the most neutral results, and note whether your brand is mentioned, recommended or cited.
- Unlock the full report to see every check with a specific fix.
How AI Assistants Choose Which Brands to Recommend
When someone asks “Who’s the best emergency plumber in Austin?”, an AI assistant builds its answer from information it already learned, from live web searches, or both. Across tools, the brands that show up tend to share a few traits:
- They’re a clear entity. The business name, services and location are stated the same way across the website, schema, Google Business Profile and directories.
- They answer questions directly. Their pages include short, quotable answers to the questions buyers ask.
- Other sites talk about them. Reviews, directory listings, local news, industry lists and community discussions mention the brand.
- They’re accessible. AI crawlers aren’t blocked, and key content loads without heavy JavaScript.
This checker covers the signals on your own website. Off-site mentions are just as important, and they’re a core part of our AI Search Optimization service.
Reading Your Results
Entity and trust
Checks whether your brand name is consistent, whether you have Organization or LocalBusiness schema with links to your official profiles, whether authorship and dates are shown, and whether you link to the review and profile platforms that build credibility.
Answer readiness
Checks whether your page states your service clearly and whether it’s structured in a way AI tools can quote: question headings, direct answers, FAQ content, and lists or tables.
Technical access
Checks whether AI search and assistant crawlers are allowed in your robots.txt, and whether you have an llms.txt file. See the full list of crawlers with our AI Crawler Checker.
How to Track Real AI Visibility Over Time
Run the same set of prompts once a month, in the same way, and record whether your brand appears, where it appears in the list, and which sources are cited. Over a few months, the trend matters more than any single answer. If you’d like this done for you across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, with competitor share of voice, book a call and ask about an AI visibility audit.
