AI Visibility Checker
See whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Grok mention your business when people ask about your category.
An AI visibility checker tests whether assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Grok name your business when asked about your category and area, and reports how you are described.
What it does
A growing share of the questions that used to begin a search now never reach a results page. Someone asks an assistant which plumber to call, which dentist takes new patients, which agency handles multi-location SEO — and receives a short list of names. If yours is not among them, you were not outranked. You were never in the running.
This is a different failure mode from a poor search position, and it is invisible to every conventional rank tracker. You can hold first place in the map pack and still be absent from what ChatGPT says when asked the same question, because assistants build answers from a different mix of sources and update on their own schedule.
AI visibility checking asks each major assistant the questions your customers would realistically ask, and records whether you are named and how you are described. The description matters as much as the mention: an assistant confidently stating the wrong service area or an outdated speciality does more damage than silence, and spreads further than a single bad review.
What you can do about it is indirect but real. You cannot edit an assistant’s answer. You can strengthen the sources they draw on — an accurate, complete profile, citations that agree with each other, valid structured data, and clear content about what you do and where. Consistency is the lever, and measuring is how you know whether it is working.
Everything AI Visibility Checker gives you
Six-engine coverage
Checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Grok, so you see the full picture rather than one assistant’s view.
Mention detection
Records whether your business is named in the answer to each tracked question, per engine.
Description capture
Captures how you are described, so inaccurate claims about your services or area can be found and addressed.
Custom question sets
Track the questions your customers would genuinely ask rather than a generic template that does not match your category.
Competitor mentions
See which rivals are named when you are not, which tells you what the assistants currently treat as the obvious answer.
Change tracking
Monitor mentions over time, since model updates and source changes shift answers without warning.
Sentiment and accuracy flags
Highlight answers that describe you inaccurately or unfavourably, which are the ones worth acting on first.
Per-location tracking
Run separate checks per location, because assistants answer differently for different cities.
Source-gap guidance
Points at the underlying signals — profile completeness, citation consistency, structured data — that shape whether you get cited.
From setup to first result
- 1
Add your business and locations
Include each location separately, since assistants answer city-specific questions differently and a national view hides that.
- 2
Write the questions customers ask
Use realistic phrasing — “best emergency plumber in Leeds”, not “plumbing services”. The question determines the answer.
- 3
Run the first check
Establish which assistants currently name you and which do not. This is your baseline before any work.
- 4
Read the descriptions, not just the mentions
A mention with the wrong service area or an outdated speciality is a problem, not a win.
- 5
Note who is named instead
The businesses cited in your place indicate what the assistants currently regard as the obvious answer in your category.
- 6
Strengthen the underlying sources
Fix profile completeness, citation consistency and structured data. These are what assistants draw on.
- 7
Re-check monthly
Model updates shift answers. Monthly checking is frequent enough to catch change without chasing noise.
What changes with AI Visibility Checker
- Assuming search rank carries over
- Trying to game the assistant directly
- Tracking mentions but ignoring descriptions
- Using generic questions
- Checking once and concluding
- Absence is total, not gradual
- Search rank does not predict AI visibility
- Inaccurate descriptions spread
- It is early, which is the advantage
- It exposes source weaknesses
Absence is total, not gradual
Search gives you position ten. An assistant gives three names. There is no equivalent of “just below the fold” — you are either cited or you are not.
Search rank does not predict AI visibility
The sources differ, so ranking first in Maps is no guarantee of being mentioned. Measuring is the only way to know.
Inaccurate descriptions spread
An assistant confidently stating the wrong thing about your business reaches more people than a single review and is harder to correct.
It is early, which is the advantage
Establishing a baseline now costs little and means you can see change as this channel matures rather than starting from nothing later.
It exposes source weaknesses
Absence from AI answers usually traces back to inconsistent citations or thin structured data — problems worth fixing regardless.
Competitors are being cited today
Someone is named when the question is asked. Knowing who, and why, is the whole of the opportunity.
What it measures
- Mention rate across six engines
- Accuracy of the description given
- Competitors cited in your place
- Change in mentions over time
- Per-question visibility
- Per-location visibility
What you get out of it
Measure a channel you currently cannot see
Conventional rank tracking says nothing about assistant answers.
Catch damaging inaccuracies
Find and correct wrong claims about your services or area.
See who the assistants prefer
Competitor mentions show what “the obvious answer” currently is.
Baseline before it matters commercially
Start the record now, cheaply, rather than later from zero.
Direct fixes at the real cause
Guidance points at profile, citation and schema weaknesses.
Track per location
See which cities you are cited in and which you are not.
What AI Visibility Checker produces
Every output is exportable and white-label, with your branding and none of ours.
Mention matrix
Which of the six engines name you, per question.
Description log
Exactly how each assistant describes your business.
Competitor citations
Who is named when you are not.
Accuracy flags
Answers containing incorrect claims about you.
Trend over time

Who uses AI Visibility Checker
Prove movement to clients with location-level evidence rather than a single national figure.
Compare visibility between sites and find the branches losing ground in their own city.
Give each franchisee their own numbers while head office keeps the estate view.
Find out where you actually appear before spending anything on improving it.
Get more out of it
- Ask the questions customers actually ask, in their words. Generic category phrasing produces generic answers that tell you nothing.
- Read descriptions as carefully as mentions. Being named inaccurately is worse than not being named.
- Check monthly. Model updates move answers, but not fast enough to justify weekly checking.
- Fix the sources rather than trying to influence the assistant directly — profile, citations and structured data are the levers.
- Track per location, because assistants answer city-level questions differently and a national check hides local gaps.
- Record who is cited instead of you. That list is the clearest statement of what you are competing against.
Assuming search rank carries over
Ranking first in Google Maps does not mean an assistant will mention you. The source mixes differ, and businesses regularly find they are strong in one and absent from the other.
Trying to game the assistant directly
There is no field to edit and no submission process. Attempts to manipulate answers directly waste effort that would produce results if spent on profile and citation consistency.
Tracking mentions but ignoring descriptions
A mention that describes the wrong service area or an outdated speciality actively costs you enquiries. Counting mentions alone misses this entirely.
Using generic questions
“Best SEO company” produces national answers. Customers ask location- and need-specific questions, and only those reveal your real visibility.
Checking once and concluding
Answers shift with model updates. A single check is a snapshot, and drawing a conclusion from it is like judging rankings from one search.

AI Visibility Checker questions
What is an AI visibility checker?
A tool that asks major AI assistants the questions your customers would ask and records whether your business is named, and how it is described.
Which AI engines are covered?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Grok — the six that account for most assistant usage today.
Why does this matter if I rank well in Google?
Because assistants build answers from a different source mix. Businesses regularly rank first in Maps and are never mentioned by an assistant asked the same question.
Can I control what AI says about me?
Not directly. You influence it by strengthening the sources assistants draw on: an accurate profile, consistent citations and valid structured data.
Why do assistants disagree with each other?
They use different sources and index at different times. Disagreement between them is normal and itself informative about which sources each relies on.
How often should I check?
Monthly. Model updates shift answers, but not quickly enough to justify weekly checking.
What questions should I track?
The ones customers genuinely ask, in their phrasing, including the location. Generic category questions produce generic answers that reveal nothing about you.
Is being mentioned always good?
No. A mention describing the wrong service area, wrong speciality or outdated information costs you enquiries and is harder to correct than a bad review.
How do I improve AI visibility?
Consistency across sources: complete profile, matching citations, valid LocalBusiness schema, and clear content stating what you do and where.
Does AI visibility affect revenue yet?
It is early, but the direction is clear. Measuring now costs little and gives you a baseline before the channel matures commercially.
Why is a competitor mentioned and not me?
Usually because their source signals are more consistent — profile completeness, citation agreement and clearer content about their specialisation and area.
Can I track this per location?
Yes, and you should. Assistants answer city-specific questions differently, so a national check hides gaps in individual markets.
Do assistants use my Google Business Profile?
It is one of several signals. Profile accuracy matters, but citations, your own site content and third-party mentions all contribute.
Will schema markup help?
It helps by removing ambiguity about your name, address, services and area, which makes you easier to cite confidently. It is not a direct lever.
What if an assistant says something factually wrong?
Correct the underlying sources first — profile, citations, your own site. Repeated consistent information is what eventually shifts the answer.
Is this the same as SEO?
Related but distinct. The work overlaps heavily with local SEO fundamentals, but the measurement is separate because the outcome is a citation rather than a position.
How many questions should I track?
Ten to twenty per location covering your main services and the phrasing customers actually use, which is enough to see a pattern without excessive noise.
Do results change if I ask the same question twice?
Sometimes, since assistants are not fully deterministic. Tracking over multiple checks is what separates a real pattern from variation.
Does this replace rank tracking?
No. It measures a separate channel. Most businesses need both, because being cited by an assistant and ranking in Maps are different outcomes.
Can I export the results?
Yes, as a report showing mentions by engine and question, suitable for including in client reporting alongside conventional rank data.
Every tool. One price. No add-ons.
$5.33 per location per month gets you AI Visibility Checker and the other 41 tools.
