Find out if Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can find and recommend your business
Visibility Checkup checks whether search engines and AI assistants can find, understand and recommend your local business. Every week you get a score, what changed, and the next steps to take, written in plain English.
Is AI ghosting your business? Let’s find out.
Customers are asking AI who to call
Instead of scrolling through ten links, more people now ask an assistant “who is the best dentist near me?” and get a short list of names. If the assistant can’t read your website, or doesn’t recognize your business, it names your competitors instead. Most businesses have no idea whether that is happening to them.
What your checkup looks at
Can they get in?
Whether search and AI crawlers can reach your site, or a firewall, plugin or setting is quietly turning them away.
Do they understand you?
Titles, descriptions, headings and structured data that tell machines who you are, what you do and where.
Is your text readable?
Whether your main content is visible without JavaScript, which most AI crawlers don’t run.
Do they name you?
We ask ChatGPT and Perplexity the questions your customers ask and record whether you are named, cited, or missing.

Common questions
What is Visibility Checkup?
Visibility Checkup is a service that checks whether search engines and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bing and Google can find, understand and recommend your local business. Every week you receive a score, what changed since last time, and the next steps in plain English.
Why does AI visibility matter for a local business?
More people now ask AI assistants questions like "who is the best HVAC company near me?" and get a short list of names instead of a page of links. If an assistant cannot read your website or does not recognize your business, it tends to name your competitors instead.
What do you check on my website?
We check whether search and AI crawlers are allowed in and not blocked by a firewall, whether your pages have clear titles, descriptions and headings, whether the main text is visible without JavaScript, whether your business details are marked up with structured data, and whether you have a sitemap. Optionally we also check page speed.
How do you know whether ChatGPT or Perplexity recommends my business?
We ask both of them questions your customers would ask, such as "best dentist in your city", using live web search. We record whether your business was named, where it appeared in the list, whether your website was cited as a source, and which competitors were named. AI answers vary from one day to the next, so we show the trend over several weeks rather than a single result.
