FAQ
Manually searching your brand on one platform tells you almost nothing. Here is what an accurate check actually requires.
Checking your AI search visibility requires more than a single manual query on one platform. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity each source their information differently — Claude relies on pre-training data, Gemini draws from Google's live index, and Perplexity retrieves from the current web on every query. A meaningful check covers all four using standardized prompts, scores multiple dimensions including local discovery, and produces results that are comparable across audit cycles so you can track whether your visibility is improving.
Run structured prompts across all four platforms
To check your AI search visibility, run a structured audit that tests your brand name, your industry category, and your city across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Manually searching your brand name on a single platform tells you almost nothing — you need consistent prompts across all four platforms, scored against defined dimensions, to get a meaningful picture.
Know what dimensions to measure
The key dimensions are Brand Recognition (does the platform know your business), Category Presence (does it surface you in category queries), Sentiment (how it characterizes your brand), Factual Accuracy (whether the details it cites are correct), and Topical Authority (whether it links you to the right expertise). You should also test local discovery prompts using your specific city and industry, since AI responses to location-based queries often differ significantly from general category responses.
