AI Visibility Check

See whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can find your site

We fetch your page server-side, parse the HTML, and run heuristic checks for entity clarity, structure, schema, and trust signals. We don't store the URL.

How it works

No black box. Here's exactly what AI Visibility Check checks.

  1. 1

    We fetch your page

    Server-side fetch with a sane timeout and User-Agent. We respect robots, don't store the URL, and never send your data to third parties.

  2. 2

    We extract the signals

    Title, meta, headings, structured data (JSON-LD), trust links, canonical, language, og: tags, and content depth — all parsed from the rendered HTML.

  3. 3

    We score against AI-citation criteria

    Entity clarity, topical positioning, content structure, schema, trust signals, crawlability, and meta alignment each contribute to a 0–100 score.

  4. 4

    You get prioritized fixes

    Recommendations are ordered by impact: high-priority items are usually the difference between "AI engine cites you" and "AI engine never sees you."

Why this matters

AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews don't pick citations randomly — they look for specific signals that say "this is a real entity I can confidently quote." If those signals are weak or missing, your site gets passed over even when your content is genuinely better than the sites that do get cited.

  • Branded queries already drive AI traffic — being absent from AI answers is increasingly the same as being absent from search.
  • AI engines trust structured data (JSON-LD), clear entity naming, and named topical sections far more than they trust marketing copy.
  • The same fixes that help AI engines also help Google's rich results and SEO snippets — so this work compounds.
  • Most sites score 50–70 on their first run. The gap between that and 90+ is usually a weekend of focused work.

Frequently asked questions

What does this tool actually check?
It analyzes a single URL across 8 dimensions that determine whether AI engines will cite your site: brand and entity clarity, topical positioning, content structure (headings, depth, FAQs, lists), structured data (JSON-LD), trust signals (About / Contact / social profiles), crawlability (canonical, language, noindex), title and meta alignment, and authority hints (og:image, favicon, og:site_name). Each weights into a single 0–100 AI Visibility Score.
Does this query ChatGPT or Perplexity directly?
Not in this free tool. It runs heuristic checks against signals AI engines are documented to use. The full CrawlTide product runs real prompts against ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews via DataForSEO and tells you exactly which prompts mention your domain — that's a paid feature because each test prompt costs money.
Why didn't my page score higher? It's well-written.
Well-written content is necessary but not sufficient. AI engines reward machine-readable signals: schema markup, single descriptive H1, named sections, og:site_name, About/Contact links, FAQ blocks. A great article with no schema and a generic title will still score lower than a mediocre article that gets the structure right. The recommendations show you exactly which signals to add.
Will fixing the recommendations actually help?
Yes — and you can verify it. Fix the top 3 high-priority items, re-run this tool, and your score will move. For the higher-fidelity test (real ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews mention checks), CrawlTide tracks a list of prompts weekly and shows when your domain starts getting mentioned.
Do you store the URLs I check?
No. The check runs server-side, returns a result, and is gone. Nothing is persisted. You can use this on staging URLs, client sites, or competitor URLs without leaving a trail.
How is this different from a regular SEO audit?
A regular SEO audit grades you against Google's ranking factors: keywords, backlinks, page speed, etc. This tool grades you against the signals AI engines use to decide which sources to cite when generating an answer. The two overlap (schema, headings, trust signals matter for both) but the weighting is different. AI engines care about entity clarity and structured content far more than backlinks.
