Free AI visibility tools
Three questions decide whether an AI answer engine recommends you: can it read your site, does it already name you when a buyer asks, and whose pages is it building the answer from instead. These tools answer all three. None of them store what you check, and only one asks for an email, because that one spends real money per run.
ChatGPT Visibility Checker
Does ChatGPT know I exist?
Ask a buying question the way your customers would and see whether ChatGPT names your brand, cites your domain, or recommends someone else.
Perplexity Visibility Checker
Does Perplexity cite me?
The same question put to Perplexity, which retrieves and cites far more heavily than ChatGPT, so a brand can be visible in one and absent in the other.
Grok Visibility Checker
Does Grok name me, and from where?
The same question put to Grok, the one engine that reads X as well as the web, so you can see which of the two it actually pulled your answer from.
AI Citation Source Radar
Who is writing my category’s answer?
Which sites supply the AI answers in your category, ranked by share of citations, and whether your domain shows up in that corpus anywhere.
AI Readiness Checker
Can the engines read my site at all?
Eight deterministic checks on your site: crawler access, llms.txt, Organization and FAQ schema, canonical and meta tags, server-rendered copy, and whether an about and pricing page exist.
AI Page Audit
Could an engine quote this post?
Paste one post and get the five checks that decide whether an engine can quote it: something liftable, Article schema, a real date, an answer before the first subheading, an inbound link.
AI Crawler Access Checker
Am I blocking the crawlers by accident?
Reads your robots.txt and tells you whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, or Google-Extended are blocked, including by a blanket rule you never wrote.
Structured Data Validator
Is my schema doing anything?
Read the JSON-LD on any page: which types it declares, which blocks fail to parse, and whether the fields that earn a citation are actually filled in.
Sitemap Validator
Does my sitemap actually work?
Whether a crawler would get a usable list of pages out of your sitemap: reachable, parseable, declared in robots.txt, and free of cross-host entries it will discard.
llms.txt Generator
What should my llms.txt say?
Build the markdown file assistants read to work out what you are and which of your pages answer what. Copy or download it, then drop it at the root of your domain.
Schema Markup Generator
What should my schema say?
Write valid Organization, FAQPage, Product and Article JSON-LD, including the sameAs links most sites leave out. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Robots.txt Generator
Which AI bots should I allow?
Say what you actually mean about AI crawlers. Training bots and answer-engine bots are different agents, and the one people block is usually not the one they meant.
MCP server
5 of these run inside your editor
These questions usually come up while you are already working, not while you are sitting on a tools page. The cuescout MCP server puts check_ai_visibility, check_ai_readiness, check_ai_crawler_access and two more into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Same endpoints, same lack of a signup.
Set up the MCP serverWhat these tools do not tell you
A single check is a snapshot. AI answers move around week to week, they differ by engine, and they change depending on how the question is phrased. If Perplexity names you today it may not tomorrow, and one run cannot tell the difference between a real improvement and noise. Watching the same questions on a schedule across both engines we query, and tracing which pages the answers are built from, is the paid CueScout product. What that looks like for a particular job is written up per use case, and the numbers we get running it on ourselves are published as AI search research.
