Free AI Visibility Checker: Can ChatGPT & Perplexity Find You? | SEO AEO Specialist SEO & AEO Specialist

Find out whether AI answer engines can actually find, read, and cite your site

Type your domain. In seconds you see whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI answers, and Claude can crawl your pages, understand them, and cite you when someone asks a question in your category. It is the fastest way to check your AI visibility before your competitors get quoted instead of you.

The old game was ranking on page one of Google. The new game is being the source an AI answer pulls from. Those are not the same thing. A page can rank well in classic search and still be invisible to answer engines, usually because a crawler is blocked, the content is buried in JavaScript, or the page never gives a clean, quotable answer. The AI Visibility Checker catches all three.

How it works

1. Enter your domain. No signup, no card. Free tier covers up to 50 pages per project.

2. We fetch your site the way an AI crawler does. We check your robots.txt for AI user agents, render your pages, and read the actual text an answer engine would see.

3. We score AI accessibility and answerability. Can the bots reach you? Is your content readable without executing scripts? Does each page answer a question in the first paragraph?

4. You get a prioritized report. Every issue is ranked by impact, with the exact fix and the page it lives on.

The check takes seconds. Reading the report and fixing the top three items is usually an afternoon of work with a real payoff.

What the result tells you

The report answers four questions that decide whether you show up in AI answers:

• Are you crawlable? We list every major AI user agent (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and more) and whether your robots.txt lets it in. A single stray Disallow can hide you from an entire platform.

• Are you readable? Answer engines are far weaker at executing JavaScript than Googlebot. If your content only appears after a script runs, we flag it as at-risk.

• Are you answerable? We check whether pages lead with a direct, self-contained answer, the format models prefer to lift and cite.

• Are you structured? We check for FAQ schema, clean headings, and other machine-readable signals that make your content easy to parse and quote.

You leave knowing exactly why you are or are not being cited, and what to change first.

Why AI visibility is now its own discipline

Search behavior has split into two paths. Some users still type a query and click a blue link. A fast-growing share ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI answers and never see a results page at all. In that second path, you do not win by ranking. You win by being the source the model chooses to summarize and cite.

That changes what "optimized" means. Classic SEO rewards keyword coverage, backlinks, and page-one position. AEO (answer engine optimization) rewards something more specific: content a model can retrieve, trust, and quote in a single clean sentence. The mechanics differ in three ways that trip up most sites:

• Different crawlers, different rules. OpenAI alone runs several bots. OAI-SearchBot indexes pages so ChatGPT can retrieve and cite them, while GPTBot gathers training data, and the two are controlled independently in robots.txt (OpenAI, Am I Cited). Block the wrong one and you disappear from ChatGPT search while thinking you only opted out of training.

• Retrieval favors clarity over cleverness. Models lift short, factual, self-contained passages. A page that buries its answer in the fifth paragraph rarely gets quoted.

• Freshness and structure matter. Search-oriented AI bots crawl more often than training bots and reward pages that are current and cleanly structured.

The upside is that most sites have never optimized for any of this. The competition is thin. A handful of fixes often moves you from invisible to citable.

Free AI Visibility Checker vs. classic SEO tools

FAQ

What is an AI visibility checker?

A tool that tests whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers can crawl your site, read your content, and cite it in their responses. It is different from a rank checker, which only measures classic search position.

Is the AI visibility checker really free?

Yes. You can run a full check on up to 50 pages per project at no cost, with no card required. If you want the complete exportable report, that is a one-time €9 upgrade, and continuous monitoring is €19 per month per domain.

Which AI crawlers do you check for?

The major ones, including OpenAI's GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Anthropic's ClaudeBot and Claude-User, and Google-Extended, plus others as they emerge.

Why does ChatGPT not cite my website?

Usually one of three reasons: a crawler is blocked in robots.txt, your content only renders after JavaScript runs, or your pages never give a short, self-contained answer a model can quote. The checker tells you which one applies to you.

Does ranking well on Google mean I show up in AI answers?

Not necessarily. A page can rank on Google and still be invisible to answer engines if the AI crawler is blocked or the content is not readable and quotable. They are separate systems.

How long does the check take?

Seconds to run. Fixing the top issues it surfaces is typically an afternoon of work.
