Free AI visibility check for your business

Customers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI “who's the best ___ near me?” We check whether your business gets named, whether what AI says about you is right, and what's stopping it.

  • Free. Takes about a minute to request.
  • No passwords, no logins, nothing installed. We only look at what's public.
  • We email you a private report in plain English: where you show up, where you don't, and exactly how to fix it. Do it yourself with our steps, or have us do it for you for a one-time $249.
Your results are never shown on our site. They only go to an email address at your business's own website domain (for example you@yourbusiness.com, not Gmail or Yahoo).

What we check

AI answers

Whether ChatGPT, Google's AI and Perplexity name you when someone asks for your kind of business in your area, and whether what they say about you is correct.

Your website

Whether AI tools can read who you are, what you do and where you work.

Whether your website is accidentally blocking the tools that AI assistants use to read it.

Reviews beyond Google

Questions

Is the AI visibility check really free?

Yes. The check and the report are free, with no obligation. If something needs fixing, you can fix it yourself or hire us.

Can I fix it myself?

Yes. Your report lists what to change, step by step, in plain English. Many fixes take an hour or two. If you'd rather not deal with it, we'll do it for you for a one-time $249.

Which AI tools do you check?

ChatGPT, Google's AI answers (AI Overviews and AI Mode) and Perplexity. ChatGPT and Google's AI Mode are the two AI tools US consumers say they use most for local business recommendations.

Do you need my passwords or access to my accounts?

No. No passwords, no logins, nothing installed. We only look at what anyone can already see.

Who sees my results?

Only you. Your results are never shown on our site or anywhere public. We send them only to an email address at your business's own domain, so a stranger can't look up another business's weak spots.

Why can't I use a Gmail or Yahoo address?

Sending the report only to an address at your business's own domain shows it's going to someone at that business. It's how we keep results private.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?

No, and be careful of anyone who does. AI answers change from day to day. What we can do is fix the things that make AI tools skip a business or get its details wrong.

How is this different from regular SEO?

Regular SEO is about ranking in Google's list of links. This is about whether AI tools understand and trust your business enough to name it in their answer. A lot of the groundwork overlaps, and good fixes help both.

How long does the report take?

Usually within 2 business days. A person reviews every report before it's sent.

Do you work with businesses in my area?

Yes. We work with small businesses anywhere. The check and the setup are done online, by email and a short call or screen-share.
