Are you mentioned by AI?
People increasingly ask ChatGPT and Perplexity for recommendations instead of searching Google. Paste your website URL to see whether AI assistants mention your business — and which competitors show up instead.
Why AI visibility is the new page one
For years, ranking on page one of Google was the goal. Now a growing share of buyers skip the search results page entirely and just ask an AI assistant — “what’s a good {category} near me,” “who does {service} well” — and act on whatever it names. If your business isn’t in that answer, you don’t lose a ranking spot. You disappear from the conversation completely.
This free checker gives you a quick, honest read on where you stand today: does AI already know and recommend you, or is a competitor quietly winning that moment instead?
How the checker works
Give it your URL. It figures out your brand name and a handful of the buyer-intent questions people actually ask about businesses like yours, then puts those questions to a live AI assistant and checks each answer for two things: does it mention you, and does it mention a competitor instead. You get a simple “mentioned in X of Y answers” result, the exact prompts and answers behind it, and any competitor names that came up.
What to do if AI doesn’t mention you
- Publish clear, factual content. AI can only mention what it can read and understand — thin or vague pages give it nothing to work with.
- Answer the questions people actually ask. An FAQ built from real buyer questions is one of the strongest signals you can give an AI assistant. Try the free FAQ generator.
- Make your content machine-readable. Check your overall AI-readiness score and consider publishing an llms.txt file so AI assistants can navigate your site cleanly.
- Re-check regularly. AI answers shift as models update and competitors publish new content — a one-time check is a snapshot, not a guarantee it stays true.
A snapshot vs. ongoing tracking
This free tool is a one-shot snapshot against a single AI engine, kept fast and free by design. In practice, AI answers vary across engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI answers) and change over time as models and competitor content evolve. AnswerMage’s GEO Monitor runs this check automatically every week across multiple engines, tracks your trend over time, and flags the moment a competitor starts winning a prompt you used to own.
Frequently asked questions
What does the AI visibility checker do?
Paste your website URL and it infers your brand and a handful of buyer-intent questions people ask about businesses like yours, then asks an AI assistant those questions and checks whether your business is mentioned in the answer — or whether a competitor is mentioned instead.
What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?
GEO is the practice of making your business more likely to be mentioned, cited, and recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI answers — the same way SEO optimizes for traditional search rankings, but for generative AI answers instead of a list of links.
Why does it matter if AI mentions my business?
A growing share of buyers ask an AI assistant for a recommendation before they ever search Google. If the AI doesn’t mention you, you never make the shortlist — no matter how good your website or SEO is. Being visible in AI answers is becoming as important as ranking on page one.
Is this the same as SEO?
No, though they overlap. SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links on a search results page. GEO optimizes for being the answer — or one of the few things named — inside an AI-generated response. Good content usually helps both, but AI answers reward clear, factual, well-structured content differently than link-based ranking does.
Is the AI visibility checker free?
Yes, completely free and no signup required. It runs a handful of live checks against one AI engine as a snapshot. AnswerMage’s GEO Monitor is the paid product that tracks this every week across multiple AI engines and alerts you to changes.
Why was my score based on only a few AI answers?
The free checker is a snapshot, not a monitor — it asks a small number of representative questions against one AI engine so it stays fast and free. If a question fails to complete, you may see fewer than 5 results; that’s still a real (if partial) read on your visibility. Weekly tracking across several engines removes that variance and shows trends over time.
How do I improve my AI visibility?
Publish clear, factual, well-structured content about what you do, who you serve, and what makes you different — the same content that grounds a good FAQ or llms.txt file. AI assistants can only mention what they can read and understand, so the fixes are similar to AI-readiness: readable text, direct answers to common questions, and your key facts stated plainly.
