Am I Visible to AI Search?

Being visible to AI means that when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude who to call, your business is part of the answer. There is no page two. The engine picks a short list and the rest are invisible.

This checker gives you the starting fact: which engines know you exist today. If some engines never mention you, that is where to start, and it is fixable.

Enter your website and, if you like, your industry. The checker then asks three questions: two broad questions about your industry, along the lines of the best services of that kind in Australia and which company to recommend, and one that simply asks what your website is. Each question goes to every engine available at the time: ChatGPT with web search, Perplexity, Claude with and without web search, Gemini with and without Google Search, and Google's own AI results. Every engine that accepts a location is asked from Australia; Gemini with Google Search takes none, and Claude and Gemini without search look nothing up.

An engine counts as mentioning you when your domain appears in its answer text, or a page on your site is among its sources, for any of the three questions (for Perplexity, only the sources count). That has two consequences worth knowing. The checker looks for your web address, not your business name, so an answer that names you without your address is not counted. And the third question contains your domain, so an engine that simply repeats it back can count as a mention. Read a single mention as a sign that the engine knows you exist, not as proof that it recommends you.

The engines do not all work the same way. ChatGPT with web search, Perplexity, Claude with web search and Gemini with Google Search look things up as they answer, so a mention there reflects what the web says about you now. Claude and Gemini without search answer from what they learned in training, which changes slowly. For Google, your domain counts if it appears in the AI Overview, the featured snippet or the regular results.

The checker also reads your robots.txt file and reports, for eleven AI crawlers by name, whether each one is allowed, blocked or not mentioned at all. If the crawlers that feed these engines are blocked, the rest of the result matters much less, so fix that first. The detailed results include allow rules you can copy straight into the file.

Your score is out of 100: twenty points for each engine that mentions you, up to eighty, plus up to twenty for the share of those crawlers your robots.txt names and allows. A crawler the file does not mention scores nothing here, even though it can still get in, and a site with no robots.txt file gets the full twenty. Grades run from A at eighty and above down to F below twenty. A low grade usually means the engines do not have enough clear, consistent information about you, or cannot reach your pages at all.

Answers change from one day to the next, so treat any single check as a snapshot rather than a verdict. Each result is kept for a day, so checking the same site again that day shows the same answer, and you can run three checks a day. If you add your email to see the recommendations, we send you your score with a link back here, followed by a couple of follow-up emails you can unsubscribe from at any time.

For the fuller picture, the free audit scores your whole site across six categories and checks how the engines answer a buyer question for your kind of business, including whether they name a few local competitors instead of you.
