#1 Free AI Visibility Checker β€” Is Your Brand Visible to AI Search?

Find out if ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview mention your brand when users search for your products or services.

AIRanked is the #1 free AI visibility checker that simulates real queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview to show you exactly where your brand appears β€” and where it doesn't. Enter your brand name and 3-5 relevant queries, and get a full visibility report with scores, competitor mentions, and actionable recommendations in seconds.

Live LLM citations, not scraped rankings

AIRanked runs your query directly against each AI assistant in real time β€” ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overview β€” and records whether and how your brand surfaces. No simulation, no proxies, no cached guesses.

How the calculation works

  1. Normalize the query: expand the brand/product into 10–15 natural-language prompts a real user would ask (e.g. 'best X for Y', 'compare X to Z', 'what is X').
  2. Fan the prompt set across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overview in parallel β€” consistent temperature, same geography signal, same day-of-week window.
  3. Parse each response for three signals: (a) direct brand mention, (b) mention with positive framing, (c) mention as cited source with a URL.
  4. Score per-engine 0–100 by weighted blend: direct mention 40% + positive framing 30% + cited source 30%.
  5. Aggregate to a portfolio Visibility Score and surface the specific prompts where your brand is missing β€” those are the GEO optimization targets.

See which competitors AI mentions alongside your queries. Understand your competitive position in AI search results.

You don't know how to improve your AI visibility

Actionable GEO recommendations

Get specific, data-driven recommendations to increase your brand's chances of being mentioned by AI search engines.

Worked examples

Real scenarios run through the same engine you'll use. Each output is traceable to a specific classification, policy action, or trade-agreement rule.

Established SaaS β€” high existing AI visibility

Input

Brand:
HubSpot (sample run)
Category prompts:
CRM for small business, marketing automation, sales hub
Engines tested:
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AIO

Output

Visibility Score: 82

Mentioned in 87% of CRM prompts across engines

Why

Well-known SaaS brands with strong backlink profiles and Wikipedia presence surface consistently. Positive framing (Perplexity 91 / ChatGPT 84 / Claude 79 / Google AIO 72) reflects the LLMs' training data density for established players. The gap is the 13% of prompts where competitors appear first β€” that's the GEO optimization target, not 'more links'.

HTS: Benchmark run β€” not a live customer result

Early-stage SaaS β€” nearly invisible today

Input

Brand:
Hypothetical 6-month-old SaaS (sample run)
Category prompts:
AI-powered customer onboarding
Engines tested:
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AIO

Output

Visibility Score: 11

Mentioned in 2 of 30 prompts across engines

Why

Typical pattern for pre-Series-A SaaS: LLMs haven't seen enough training data to cite reliably. The 2 mentions came from Perplexity via web-search fallback, not from trained knowledge. AIRanked surfaces the specific prompts that DID mention the brand β€” those are the backlinks-and-PR loop that's working; the 28 silent prompts are the gap to close with targeted GEO content.

HTS: Benchmark run β€” sample profile

E-commerce product β€” vertical-specific benchmark

Input

Brand:
DTC athletic wear brand (sample run)
Category prompts:
best yoga leggings 2026, sustainable activewear
Engines tested:
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AIO

Output

Visibility Score: 48

Strong in sustainability prompts, weak in price-comparison prompts

Why

DTC brands often see bimodal visibility β€” high on their category's unique positioning (sustainability, material innovation), low on broad price or feature comparison queries where established brands dominate. AIRanked breaks the 48 overall score into 72 on sustainability sub-prompts vs 31 on head-to-head comparison prompts.

HTS: Benchmark run β€” sample profile

Personal brand / thought leader β€” citation patterns

Input

Brand:
Tech-industry thought leader (sample run)
Category prompts:
opinions on AI agent design, best essays on X topic
Engines tested:
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude

Output

Visibility Score: 56

Stronger on Claude (original essays indexed)

Why

Individual thought leaders' visibility correlates with long-form content published on owned domains + verified Twitter/X presence more than company-style backlinks. Claude cites original essays as sources more consistently; ChatGPT defaults to Wikipedia-style summary. The gap is typically in category prompts where the person is known for a niche but ChatGPT pulls from a broader reference answer.

HTS: Benchmark run β€” sample profile

Local business β€” geographic LLM behavior

Input

Brand:
SF Bay Area coffee roaster (sample run)
Category prompts:
best specialty coffee in SF, third-wave roasters near Mission
Engines tested:
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AIO

Output

Visibility Score: 63

Google AIO 82, ChatGPT 47 (local signals weak)

Why

Local businesses see a Google-AIO-favoring skew because Google blends Maps + reviews into the AI Overview. ChatGPT and Claude rely on training data and surface whichever businesses had the most press coverage β€” often national chains, not local stalwarts. AIRanked separates the engines so local operators know which channel (Google Local SEO vs. earned media for ChatGPT citation) is worth investing in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI visibility checker?

An AI visibility checker tests whether AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overview mention your brand when users ask relevant questions. AIRanked simulates these queries and provides a detailed report showing your visibility across AI platforms with a 0-100 score per engine.

How is AIRanked different from an AI Overviews Checker?

An AI Overviews checker only tests Google's AI Overview panel. AIRanked also tests ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. If you only care about Google AIO, use our free /ai-overviews-checker tool. If you want the full multi-engine picture, use the main tool.

Is AIRanked free to try?

You get 3 free full checks on signup β€” no credit card required. After that, top-up packs start at $9 for 100 credits. Credits never expire.

How accurate is the visibility check?

AIRanked queries live AI APIs β€” there's no cache, proxy, or simulation. We run each prompt twice and require consistent brand detection across runs (94% replay consistency measured on 200 brand-prompt pairs, 2026-03 audit). Your score is a real-time snapshot.

What queries should I test?

Test the queries your target customers would ask AI. For example: 'best [your category] software', 'top [your industry] tools 2026', '[specific problem] solution'. Focus on buying-intent queries where AI mentions could drive real traffic.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing your online presence so that AI search engines are more likely to mention your brand. It includes structured data, authoritative content, citations, and brand consistency across the web. AIRanked helps you measure and improve your GEO performance.

How long do credits last?

Credits never expire. Once purchased, they remain in your account until used. No monthly fees, no subscriptions.

Can I get a refund?

Since credits are consumed instantly, we cannot offer refunds. Try the 3 free checks first to see the value before purchasing.

Is my data safe?

We do not store your brand queries or results after your session. Your competitive intelligence stays private. See our Privacy Policy for details.
