Free AI visibility checker

DOES AI recommend YOUR BUSINESS?

Ask Google’s AI for the best businesses like yours and they name only a handful. This free AI visibility checker asks them for you, then shows whether you’re named, which competitors are named instead, and which sites the AI trusts — so you know exactly what to fix.

Say it the way a customer would search.
A city, a country, or leave it blank.
Step 1 is free and instant: no email needed.

HOW THE checker WORKS

  1. Free readiness scan

    We check whether AI crawlers can read your site and whether what they find is easy to quote.

  2. Five buyer questions

    We ask Google’s AI what a customer would ask when looking for a business like yours.

  3. Your report

    See how often you’re named, who is named instead, the sources AI trusts and what to fix first.

WHAT IS AI visibility?

AI visibility is how often AI tools name your business when someone asks them for a recommendation. More buyers now ask ChatGPT or Google’s AI “who’s the best dentist near me?” instead of scrolling through search results — and the AI answers with a short list. If you’re not on it, you’re invisible to that buyer, however good your website is.

How is it different from ranking on Google?

Google ranks pages; AI picks businesses. An AI answer pulls together what many sites say about you — directories, reviews, articles and your own pages — and names the businesses it trusts most. You can rank on page one and still never be recommended by AI, or the other way round.

What makes AI recommend a business?

  • Mentions on sites AI trusts — the directories, review sites and articles it cites for your category.
  • Reviews — plenty of recent, genuine ones on the platforms that matter in your market.
  • A clear answer on your own site — what you do, for whom and where, plus an FAQ.
  • Readable, structured pages — content AI crawlers can read without JavaScript, and business details in structured data.

FREQUENTLY ASKED questions

Is the AI visibility checker really free?
Yes. The AI readiness scan is free and needs no email. To see what Google’s AI actually say about your business, you verify your email once; the full check and the emailed report are free too. You can run one full check per email every 7 days.
What does the checker ask the AI?
Five questions a real buyer would ask: the best businesses like yours in your market, which ones to shortlist, which have the best reviews, what the AI knows about your business, and the best alternatives to you. Your score counts only the three neutral questions, because the other two contain your name.
Why do the results change if I run it again?
AI tools generate each answer fresh, and the web pages they read change daily. The same question can name different businesses an hour later. Treat a report as a snapshot of how often you come up, not a fixed ranking.
What is AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimisation) is about being chosen as the direct answer in featured snippets, voice assistants and AI answers. GEO (generative engine optimisation) is about being read, trusted and cited by AI search such as ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews and Perplexity. This checker measures the result of both: whether AI actually names you.
How do I get AI to recommend my business?
AI tools recommend businesses they find mentioned and reviewed across trusted sites. The usual fixes are complete profiles on the directories and review sites AI cites for your category, more genuine reviews, a clear page on your own site saying what you do and where, structured data, and being included in “best of” articles. The report shows which sources AI relied on for your market.
How is this different from the free website audit?
The website audit checks your site itself: speed, SEO, accessibility and whether AI can read it. This checker looks outward: what AI tells people when they ask for a business like yours. They work well together.
What do you do with my data?
We send only your business name, website, category and market to the AI services — never your email. Your email is used to send your report and so our team can follow up if you want help. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Can you help if AI doesn’t mention us?
Yes. That is what our team does: we fix the listings, reviews, content and structured data that decide whether AI recommends you. Book a free call and we’ll go through your report with you.
