Free AI visibility checker: is your brand cited in AI answers?
An AI visibility checker runs test prompts through AI search engines and reports whether your brand gets named in the answers. Enter your domain below and this one checks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity in about 60 seconds.
It queries the engines directly. That is different from the free checkers that only inspect your robots.txt and schema markup and tell you whether AI could find you.

What an AI visibility checker measures
Three numbers, and the third is the one most tools blend away.
Mention rate
The share of test prompts where an engine names your brand. The single number that tells you whether you are in the conversation.
Citation sources
Which domains each engine pulled from to build its answer. This is who the engine trusts in your category, and it is often not you.
Engine coverage
Your result split per engine. Strong in ChatGPT and absent from Perplexity is a common and very actionable pattern.
Checker, audit, or tracker: three tools, one name
Search for an AI visibility checker and you get three different products. Knowing which one you are running saves you from acting on the wrong answer.
Readiness audit
Could AI find me?
Inspects your site: robots.txt rules, GPTBot access, schema markup, whether an answer can be extracted from your pages. Never queries an engine.
Useful for diagnosis. Does not measure visibility.
Answer check
Does AI cite me?
Sends real prompts to real engines and records who gets named. Measures the outcome rather than the preconditions for it.
What this page does.
Visibility tracker
Is it improving?
Re-runs the same prompts on a schedule and charts the trend, with competitor share of voice over time.

Why you need an AI visibility checker in 2026
Traditional SEO tells you where you rank on Google. It does not tell you whether ChatGPT recommends your product, whether Perplexity cites your brand when someone asks for the best tool in your category, or whether Google AI Mode knows you exist.
High-intent queries such as “best CRM for small teams” or “top AI chatbot platforms” are increasingly answered in place, with no click to anyone. The brands named in those answers capture the demand that used to arrive through organic search.
Google AI Mode deserves its own mention, because most free checkers skip it. It is a separate surface from AI Overviews, with its own answers and its own sources, and a brand can be present in one and missing from the other. This checker covers both.
A check gives you the baseline: are you in the conversation or not? If you are not being cited, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the discipline that fixes it, and the LLM SEO tools comparison covers the platforms that measure it continuously.
Free check vs. ongoing tracking
Paid plans start at $49/month, or $39/month billed annually. Starter covers ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews; Professional and Agency add Perplexity and Google AI Mode. Full pricing →
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI visibility checker?
An AI visibility checker is a tool that runs test prompts through AI search engines and reports whether your brand is named in the answers. It measures three things: how often you are mentioned, which engines mention you, and which competitors appear in your place. It is the AI-answer equivalent of checking where you rank on Google.
How do I check my brand's AI visibility?
Enter your domain above. The checker generates 5 buyer-intent prompts for your category, runs them across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity, and returns a per-engine breakdown of who got named. It takes about 60 seconds and needs no account.
What does an AI visibility checker measure?
Three numbers. Mention rate: the share of test prompts where an engine names your brand. Citation sources: which domains the engine pulled from when it answered, which tells you who it trusts in your category. Engine coverage: your result broken out per engine, because a brand strong in ChatGPT is often invisible in Perplexity.
Are all free AI visibility checkers the same?
No, and the difference is easy to miss. Two different products share the name. A readiness audit inspects your site — robots.txt, GPTBot access, schema markup, page structure — and tells you whether AI engines could find you. An answer check queries the engines and tells you whether they do cite you. Both are useful, but only the second one measures visibility. RankScope's checker is an answer check.
Which AI engines does the checker cover?
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity. Google AI Mode is the one most free checkers leave out, and it is a separate surface from AI Overviews with its own answers and its own sources.
What is the difference between an AI visibility checker and an AI visibility tracker?
A checker is a one-off snapshot: run it now, see where you stand today. A tracker re-runs the same prompts on a schedule and shows the trend. You want a checker to get a baseline and find out whether you have a problem, and a tracker once you are doing work you need to measure. This page is the checker; RankScope's paid plans are the tracker.
What is a good AI visibility score?
There is no universal benchmark, and any tool quoting one is inventing it. What is meaningful is your mention rate relative to the competitors named in the same answers. If rivals appear in 4 of 5 prompts and you appear in none, that gap is the finding, not an absolute number out of 100.
Why isn't my brand showing up in AI answers?
Usually one of three reasons. AI crawlers cannot reach your content. Your pages cover the topic but are not structured so an answer can be extracted from them. Or the engines are citing third-party sources — listicles, reviews, forums — that do not mention you. The checker tells you which by showing the domains the engines cited instead.
Is this an AEO checker or a GEO checker?
Both. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) describe the same discipline of optimizing for visibility in AI-generated answers. This tool measures current performance whichever term you use.
Is the AI visibility checker really free?
Yes. No account, no credit card, no signup. Enter your domain and get the full report. For recurring monitoring across more prompts, RankScope plans start at $49/month, or $39/month billed annually.
Can I check competitors as well as my own site?
The free report names the competitors that appeared in your prompts, so you see who is occupying the answers you want. Running a competitor's domain through the checker directly works too — the tool has no login, so nothing stops you benchmarking against them.
Why does it matter which engine cites me?
ChatGPT and Perplexity have very different source preferences, and Google AI Mode differs again from AI Overviews. A brand can be well cited in one and absent from another. A single blended score hides that, and hiding it leads to optimizing the wrong thing.
