AI visibility checker

A growing share of searches now end in an AI-generated answer — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity — instead of a list of links. Those answers cite and recommend businesses based on what their crawlers can find, parse and trust. AI visibility is how well your site feeds that machinery: structured data, clear answers, crawler access and genuine content depth.

Eight signals: JSON-LD structured data, FAQPage schema, whether robots.txt blocks AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended), llms.txt presence, single-H1 answer-first structure, question-style headings, meta description and readable content depth. Each is weighted into a 0–100 score.

Work the failures top-down: add LocalBusiness/Service schema and FAQPage markup for real questions you answer, make sure robots.txt doesn't block AI crawlers, add an llms.txt file, and restructure key pages to answer their main question in the first paragraph. Our AI search optimization guide in the wiki walks through each step.

It keeps your content out of AI training and answers — which for most local businesses means invisibility where customers increasingly ask for recommendations. Publishers with paywalled content may want to block; businesses that want customers generally should not.
