Projects / AI Visibility Checker
In development
Does AI recommend your business?
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude who to hire. The AI Visibility Checker asks those same questions, in English and 中文, and shows whether your business gets named, and who gets named instead.

The problem
The new front page is an AI answer
More people now skip the search results and ask an AI assistant directly: “Who's the best accountant in San Diego?” The assistant replies with two or three names. If yours isn't one of them, that customer never reaches your website, however good it is.
Most businesses have no idea what these assistants say about them. Each engine searches differently, answers change from day to day, and they differ between English and Chinese. You can't fix what you can't see.
How it works
Four steps
-
1
You
Tell me about the business
Name, website, what you do and where. That's all it needs.
-
2
Ask
Ask like a customer
About ten real customer questions in English and 中文, sent to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with live web search. Each one runs several times, because AI answers vary.
-
3
Read
Read every answer
Was your business named? In what position? Who was named instead, and which websites did the AI cite as its sources?
-
4
Check
Check your website
Structured data, an llms.txt file, whether AI crawlers are blocked, page speed: the things AI engines rely on to understand and trust a site.
What you get
A report you can act on
- A visibility score: for each AI engine and each language, so you see where you're strong and where you're invisible.
- The exact questions and answers: word for word, so nothing is a black box.
- Who gets named instead: the competitors AI recommends when it doesn't recommend you.
- The sources AI trusts: the directories, review sites and articles it cites. That's where you need to appear.
- Fixes, ranked by impact: specific changes to your site and listings, most important first.
- A baseline to measure against: run it again after the fixes and see what changed.
Why it matters
Why it helps your business
See what customers see
Know what the answer is when someone asks AI for a business like yours, before it costs you customers.
Know who you're up against
AI often recommends businesses you'd never think of as competitors. Now you'll know their names.
Fix the right things first
A ranked list of changes, instead of guessing at “AI SEO” advice.
Reach both markets
Checks English and Chinese separately. Many businesses show up in one language and vanish in the other.
