Projects / AI Visibility Checker
In development
Does AI recommend your business?
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude who to hire. The AI Visibility Checker asks those same questions, in English and 中文, and shows whether your business gets named, and who gets named instead.

The problem
Your customers are asking AI who to hire
More people now skip the search results and ask an AI assistant: “Who's the best accountant in San Diego?” The assistant replies with two or three names. If yours isn't one of them, that customer won't reach your website, however good it is.
Most businesses don't know what these assistants say about them. Each engine searches its own way, the answers change from day to day, and English and Chinese results differ.
Why not just ask AI?
Asking ChatGPT yourself won't show you what customers see
It's the first thing most owners try, and it feels like a quick check. But a single chat can't measure what your customers are told. Here's why.
You ask a different question
You ask “Is Acme Accounting any good?” Your customers ask “Who's the best accountant in San Diego?” and never say your name. Once a business is named in the question, AI almost always finds something nice to say about it. The real test is whether it names you when nobody else does.
AI can't report on itself
Ask “Would you recommend my business?” and the AI guesses what it might tell someone else. It isn't checking anything, and its guesses tend to be polite.
One answer is one sample
Ask the same question twice and you can get different names. One reply tells you very little, so we run each question several times and report how often you're named.
Your answers are tailored to you
AI adjusts its replies to your location, your past chats and what it remembers about you. And you're checking one engine, while your customers use ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude.
| Asking AI yourself | The AI Visibility Checker | |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | One, usually with your name in it | About ten customer questions, in English and 中文, without your name |
| Engines | One | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude |
| Runs | Once | Several per question, reported as how often you're named |
| Context | Shaped by your location, history and memory | Fresh sessions with no personal history |
| Location | Wherever you happen to be | Checked as if from the cities where your customers are |
| Competitors | Not shown | Who gets named instead of you |
| Sources | Usually hidden | The sites AI cited, and whether you're listed on them |
| Why | No explanation | A website check and fixes ranked by impact |
| Over time | Nothing to compare against | A baseline you can re-run after making changes |
Asking AI yourself is still worth doing. It gives you one opinion. The checker gives you a measurement, and the reasons behind it.
How it works
Four steps
-
1
You
Tell us about the business
Name, website, what you do, and where your customers are. That's all it needs.
-
2
Ask
Ask like a customer
About ten real customer questions in English and 中文, sent to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with live web search. Each one runs several times, because AI answers vary.
-
3
Read
Read every answer
Was your business named? In what position? Who was named instead, and which websites did the AI cite as its sources?
-
4
Check
Check your website
Structured data, an llms.txt file, whether AI crawlers are blocked, page speed: the things AI engines rely on to understand and trust a site.
What you get
A report you can act on
- A visibility score: for each AI engine and each language, so you see where you're strong and where you're invisible.
- The exact questions and answers: word for word, so you can read what each AI said.
- Who gets named instead: the competitors AI recommends when it doesn't recommend you.
- The sources AI trusts: the directories, review sites and articles it cites. That's where you need to appear.
- Fixes, ranked by impact: specific changes to your site and listings, most important first.
- Results by customer location: see whether you're named in Taipei but missing in San Diego, side by side.
- A baseline to measure against: run it again after the fixes and see what changed.
Why it matters
Why it helps your business
See what customers see
Know what the answer is when someone asks AI for a business like yours, before it costs you customers.
Know who you're up against
AI may recommend businesses you didn't count as competitors. The report names them.
Fix the right things first
You get a ranked list of changes for your site and listings, most important first.
Check from where your customers are
When someone asks for “an accountant near me”, AI answers for their location, not yours. We check from the cities your customers are in, and in English and Chinese separately. Many businesses show up in one city or language and vanish in another.
