Does ChatGPT recommend you — or your competitor?

When buyers ask an AI engine for the best tool in your category, you’re either in the answer or invisible. There is no page two. Check where you stand in seconds.

Why AI visibility matters

A growing share of buyers start with a question typed into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overview — and they get one synthesized answer naming two or three tools, not a list of ten links. If your product isn’t named, that buyer never sees you. Optimizing for this is called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and it starts with knowing where you stand today.

A visibility check shows where you stand today. The next step is building the independent mentions, comparison coverage, and community proof that AI engines trust.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI visibility checker?

It tells you whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity mention or cite your brand when someone asks a buying question in your category. Where a rank checker measures your position in Google, an AI visibility checker measures whether you exist in the AI-generated answer at all.

How does this free checker work?

You enter your brand, an optional domain, and a question a buyer would ask. We send that question to a live, search-grounded AI engine (Perplexity) and detect whether your brand is named (a mention) and whether your domain is linked (a citation), plus any competitors that appear in the same answer.

What is the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention means the engine named your brand in its answer. A citation means it linked to your domain as a source. They are tracked separately because engines mention brands far more often than they cite them — and both matter for being chosen.

Why am I not showing up in AI answers?

Usually because AI engines lean on independent, corroborating sources rather than your own marketing site. Brands that are recommended across Reddit, Hacker News, reviews, and comparison content show up far more than brands described only on their homepage. Building that genuine consensus is how you get cited.

Is the AI visibility checker really free?

Yes. The single-engine check is free with no signup. Tracking your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini over time — and finding the conversations that build your AI consensus — is the paid CueScout product.
