Unable to Reach Your Website

Why does this matter? If we can't fetch your site, neither can AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot). Your business is effectively invisible to all AI search engines until this is resolved.
⚡ JavaScript-Rendered Site Detected
Your site appears to rely on client-side JavaScript rendering (React, Vue, Angular, etc.). AI crawlers typically cannot execute JavaScript — they see a blank page. Your scores below may be lower than expected because we could only analyze the raw HTML. Consider server-side rendering (SSR) or pre-rendering for AI visibility.

AI visibility checker FAQ

What is an AI visibility checker?

An AI visibility checker estimates how likely AI engines are to recommend your local business when someone asks for your service. This free foundation check scores your site against the REAL Method and shows per-engine results across seven engines.

Is the AI Visibility Foundation Check free?

Yes — it is free with no signup. You get your readiness score, the per-engine breakdown, and the list of issues found. Paid plans add live tests across real engines and weekly monitoring.

How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?

Make sure AI crawlers can reach your site in robots.txt, add LocalBusiness and FAQ schema, keep your name, category, and address consistent across the web, and answer the questions customers actually ask. Run this check to see which of those you are missing.

Which AI engines does it check?

Seven: ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Grok.

How is this different from a Google rank tracker?

A rank tracker measures your position in Google's blue links. This measures whether AI answer engines recognise and cite your business inside generated answers — a separate and growing channel.
