Free AI Search Visibility Audit Tool

Find out if ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can find, read and cite your website. 120+ SEO, GEO and AEO checks in 60 seconds.

What is an AI search visibility audit?

An AI search visibility audit checks whether AI-powered search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini — can crawl your website, understand what you offer, and cite or recommend you in their answers. It combines technical SEO, generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) checks in one report.

Traditional SEO and AI search visibility are related, but they aren’t exactly the same thing.

For example, a website might rank well in Google’s traditional results but still not appear as a source in an AI-generated answer.

Recent research illustrates why this matters. A 2026 study of Google AI Overviews found that AI Overviews appeared above organic results for 51.5% of the representative queries studied, showing how prominently AI-generated answers can appear in search.

Another September 2026 study tested 960 AI answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude and found that 89.7% of the answers involved live web search, with the engines frequently citing websites as sources.

Is my website visible in ChatGPT and other AI search engines?

Your site is visible in AI search only if three things are true: AI crawlers are allowed to access it, your pages answer questions clearly enough to be quoted, and other trusted sites mention your brand. Our audit tests all three and shows exactly which engine can or can’t see you.

What our AI SEO audit checks: 120+ factors in 4 areas

Our AI SEO audit checks the technical health of your website, how easily AI engines understand and trust your content, how well your pages answer questions, and whether AI crawlers can access your site. Together, these four areas reveal gaps affecting search and AI visibility.

Technical SEO audit

A strong AI search presence starts with a technically healthy website. This audit checks whether search engines can discover and index your pages, whether important URLs use the correct canonical signals, and whether your site provides a good experience across devices. It also reviews Core Web Vitals and sitemap setup to identify technical issues that can affect crawling, indexing, and overall search visibility.

GEO audit (Generative Engine Optimization)

GEO helps make your website content clearer and more useful to generative search systems. This audit looks at whether your brand and important topics are clearly defined, whether claims are supported by trustworthy citations and source links, and whether statistics are presented with useful context. It also checks content freshness to identify information that may need updating.

AEO audit (Answer Engine Optimization)

AEO focuses on helping search and answer engines find clear responses to user questions. The audit checks whether your content uses useful question-based headings, direct answer blocks, FAQ schema, and formats that make important information easy to extract. It also reviews your page structure to identify opportunities to make answers clearer and more accessible to answer engines.

AI crawler & visibility check

AI search engines rely on crawlers and other signals to discover and understand website content. This check reviews whether major AI crawlers can access your site, whether an llms.txt file is available and correctly configured, and whether your brand has visibility across AI-generated answers. It helps identify access and discoverability issues that could limit your presence in AI search.

AI SEO audit vs traditional SEO audit: what's the difference?
