Key takeaways

  • The free AI visibility check asks 20 buyer questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Grok, and the report arrives within 48 hours at no cost.
  • Each report lists the exact questions and answers engine by engine, the competitors that show up instead, and the 3 fixes Pavlo Zhydkykh would make first.
  • OpenAI uses OAI-SearchBot to surface websites in ChatGPT search, and sites that block the bot are not shown in ChatGPT search answers.[3]
  • The GEO study presented at KDD 2024 found that the efficacy of GEO methods varies across domains.[2]
  • AI answers change between runs and between engines, so the report is a snapshot of one day, not a ranking.

What is an AI visibility check?

An AI visibility check is a test of how AI assistants answer the questions your buyers ask: which companies the assistants name, which sources the answers cite and whether your site is on the list. The check matters because a site can rank on Google and still be missing from those answers, and the report shows where before any money is spent.

Fit check

Is Free AI visibility check
right for you?

A good fit if

  • AI, fintech and B2B startups whose buyers ask assistants for vendor shortlists.
  • Teams that rank on Google and want to know whether ChatGPT and Perplexity name the company too.
  • Founders who want evidence before paying anyone to work on AI search.
  • Sites that recently moved platform or launched a redesign and need a baseline.

Not the right fit if

  • The site is not live yet: there is nothing for the engines to find.
  • You need daily tracking: this is a one-time report, not monitoring software.
  • You want a promise of future recommendations: the report shows the answers of one day, not a guarantee.

Checklist

6 things to read in an AI answer

What Pavlo looks at in every answer. Each one can also be checked by hand in any assistant.

  1. 1. Who is named first

    Assistants usually name a handful of vendors. The order, and the reason given next to each name, show what the engine trusts.

  2. 2. Which sources are cited

    Perplexity and ChatGPT search link the sources behind each answer. The directories, review sites and articles in that list are where mentions count.

  3. 3. Whether your price is right

    If an answer states an old or wrong price, the engine found that price somewhere. The report traces the source whenever the answer links one.

  4. 4. How your company is described

    The one-line summary an assistant gives often comes from your homepage hero, an old profile or a review site.

  5. 5. Which questions you miss

    Brand questions are easy to win. Category questions, such as "best tool for X", are where buyers meet competitors.

  6. 6. Where the engines disagree

    ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Grok draw on different sources, so a gap in one engine points to a different fix.
