AI Visibility Checker Questions
01How does the AI visibility checker work?
It asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity two real questions a customer would ask about your service and area, with web search turned on. Then it checks if your business is named, where it appears in the list, and who else is recommended.
02Is the AI visibility checker free?
Yes. Your score and the summary for each AI assistant are free, with no sign-up. You can get the full report with every answer and competitor by email.
03Why doesn't ChatGPT mention my business?
AI assistants recommend businesses they can find and trust online. Common reasons are a thin website, few reviews, an incomplete Google Business Profile, or few mentions on other trusted sites.
04What should I type as my service?
The words a customer would use, like "dentist", "roofing contractor" or "Mexican restaurant". Check each main service on its own.
05Why can the results change each time?
AI answers can change from one question to the next, and each assistant uses different sources. That is why the checker asks more than one question and checks three assistants.
06How can I get recommended by AI assistants?
Complete your Google Business Profile, build clear service and location pages, add FAQs, earn reviews, and get mentioned on trusted local sites. Our AI SEO team can do this for you.
07Does it work outside New York?
Yes. You can check any business in the United States.
08How often should I check my AI visibility?
About once a month, and after big changes to your website or Google profile.
