Check Your AI Visibility Across 7 Engines in 60 Seconds

Most people's first question about AI search is the most basic one: do these engines even know I exist? The free AI Visibility check answers it. Paste your domain, wait about a minute, and you get a readiness picture across seven engine profiles plus your four REAL Method scores — no account, no card. Here's exactly what it does and how to read what comes back.

What it checks

The tool models how a local business presents to seven engine profiles: ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Grok. That breadth matters because the engines genuinely disagree — Profound's research found only about 11% of domains were cited by both ChatGPT and Perplexity, since ChatGPT leans on the Bing index and Wikipedia while Perplexity leans on Reddit and its own retrieval. A single-engine check would give you a dangerously partial picture. Seven gives you the spread.

For each engine, it assesses the same four layers, because those are the things every engine weighs:

• Recognize — can the engine identify you as a specific, real local entity?
• Evidence — is there enough third-party proof to back a recommendation?
• Answer — do your pages give direct, quotable answers to real questions?
• Link — can the citation crawlers actually reach and parse your pages?

What you get back

The result isn't a single mystery number. It's a breakdown built to be acted on:

1. Your four REAL scores, each 0–25, summing to a 0–100 AI Recommendation Rate. This is the headline, but the layers are where the work lives.
2. A per-engine readiness view, so you can see if you're, say, fine for Google AI but weak for ChatGPT — which usually points at a specific cause like Bing indexation.
3. Your top issues, prioritised. The single highest-impact fix first, in plain English — not a 60-page export you'll never read.

A note on honesty, because it's baked into the design: the free check is a readiness estimate modelled against the four layers. Live, measured prompt testing across real engines is what the paid plans add. We're upfront that a readiness estimate models your odds — it doesn't guarantee you'll be named on every query, because no one can guarantee that in a system this volatile. The estimate is the diagnosis; it tells you what to fix.

How to read your result

When your scores come back, resist the urge to fixate on the total. Do this instead:

Find your lowest layer. It's almost always the one capping the others. A great Answer layer is wasted if Link is failing, because a blocked crawler means nothing gets read. Fix the floor first.

Look for engine disagreement. If you're solid across most engines but weak on ChatGPT specifically, that's a clue — often Bing index presence or a blocked OAI-SearchBot. Weak everywhere on Link? Check robots.txt and rendering. The pattern points at the cause.

Read the top issue as your next task, not a grade. The whole design intent is to convert "am I invisible?" into "here's the one thing to do next."

What to do after the check

The check is a diagnosis; here's how it chains into a fix:

1. Lowest layer is Link? Go straight to the Robots Check to find the exact crawler block, then confirm your pages render in plain HTML.
2. Recognize is weak? Tighten your schema and sameAs links with the Schema Generator and GEO Grader.
3. Answer is weak? Rewrite key pages to lead with real, quotable answers and add FAQ sections.
4. Evidence is weak? Start the slow, durable work of diversifying reviews and earning mentions.

Then — and this is the part the free check can't do for you — re-measure over time, because AI answers drift week to week. That's where weekly tracking comes in.

Run it now

Head to the AI Visibility check, paste your domain, give it a minute. You'll know where you stand across seven engines and what to fix first, for nothing. Whatever it tells you, read it as a to-do list. And if the result surprises you, hello@rankinglocal.ai reaches me directly.
