A real check of a public category, not a mock-up. Snapshot: one run per question per engine.

A 79-second walkthrough of a real check, then the same workspace to click through yourself.

A real check of Gusto, the payroll company, run on 13 Oct 2026. Captions are in the video.

Explore the live demo

Open the Gusto workspace from the video, checked across seven AI engines. A two-minute guided tour shows the answers, who AI names instead, the sites it trusts, the searches it ran and the fixes. Read-only, nothing to sign up for.

What the check shows

Not just whether AI names you: why it doesn't, and what to rank for to change that.

Most AI trackers stop at a mention count. We show the searches the AI ran, the pages it read but didn't use, and where you rank for those searches in your buyers' location.

The searches behind the answer

ChatGPT and other assistants search the web before they answer. We record those fan-out queries, cluster them, and check your Google rank for each at your market's location.

Retrieved vs cited

ChatGPT shows both the pages it pulled and the pages it cited. Across 157 measured answers it read 15.8 pages and cited 7.6 on average. Found but not cited is a different fix from not found.

Who is named instead

Every brand an answer recommends, in the order it names them, with how the answer frames each one. Competitors are tracked by name, alias and domain, never by guesswork.

Sources the AI trusts

Review sites, directories, Reddit, news: the domains cited in your category, by engine, with whether each one mentions you. That is where to get listed.

Crawler access

Your robots.txt checked against twelve AI crawlers, and your pages fetched as each search crawler. Blocking training is a choice; blocking search hides you.

Measured, not estimated

Numbers you can defend

Every rate carries its sample size and a 95% interval. A change is called up or down only when it passes a significance test. Read the methodology.

Questions and answers

What does the AI visibility checker test?
It asks five buyer questions about your category on ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity, as a searcher in your market, and records whether each answer names you, who it names instead, and which sources it cites.
Why does one check say "snapshot"?
AI answers change from run to run. A free check asks each question once, so treat it as a first look. Weekly tracking repeats every question several times and only calls a change up or down when it is statistically real.
What are fan-out queries?
Before ChatGPT answers, it often runs its own web searches. Those searches are the fan-out queries. If you don't rank for them, you are unlikely to be read, cited or named.
Do I need to add llms.txt or schema?
No. We report both, but no major engine is known to read llms.txt, and a controlled study found no measurable effect of schema on being cited. Ranking for the searches the AI runs, and being cited by the sources it trusts, matter more.
Which locations do you support?
Any country and most cities. Each engine gets the closest location it accepts: ChatGPT by country, Google's AI Overviews, AI Mode and Gemini by city coordinates, Perplexity by country. Every answer shows the location that was used.
