Free AI Visibility Scanner
An AI visibility scanner checks the answers your buyers receive, not just where your website ranks in traditional search. VisiScan asks localized buyer questions across up to four answer engines and shows whether your business or a competitor comes back.

- Whether your business is mentioned, cited, or recommended.
- Which competitors are named instead and in what context.
- Which source URLs the answer engine cites.
- The exact question, engine, sample, timestamp, and run status.
One answer is an anecdote. Repeated samples across the same questions separate a directional visibility signal from a single retrieval variation. Read the public methodology for scoring, provenance, and failure handling.
What a result looks like
For a plumbing company in Denver, one scan question is “Who are the best plumbers in Denver?” asked to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. A result might show the business named by Gemini and Perplexity, absent from ChatGPT and Claude, two competitors named across all four, and three cited source domains — a review directory, a local news site, and one competitor's own page. Each cell keeps the exact answer text, the engine, the sample number, and the timestamp, so the finding is a dated observation you can re-check, not a claim.
The scored report turns that into a visibility score, a readiness score with the specific on-site and off-site gaps behind it, the single competitor named most often, and a prioritized fix list.
AI visibility scanner vs rank tracker
| Tool | Measures |
|---|---|
| Rank tracker | Blue-link position, impressions, and clicks. |
| AI visibility scanner | Answer-level mentions, recommendations, citations, and competitors. |
Use both when you need to connect discoverability with what a buyer actually receives. For the evidence checklist, see the AI visibility scanner comparison.
FAQ
What does an AI visibility scanner measure?
It asks buyer-intent questions across answer engines and records whether your business is mentioned, cited, or recommended, which competitors appear, which URLs are cited, and whether the result was complete or unavailable.
Which AI engines does VisiScan scan?
VisiScan currently tests ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Results are reported by engine because different answer engines can return different businesses for the same question.
Can an AI visibility scan guarantee a citation?
No. A scan measures observed answers and identifies readiness gaps. Each answer engine controls retrieval, generation, and citation selection.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT about my business myself?
A manual check is one prompt, one engine, one moment. A scan runs a fixed set of buyer-intent questions across four engines with repeated samples, records the full result for each, and reports the pattern instead of a single answer that may not repeat.
Does the free scan require a signup or a credit card?
No. Enter a URL and the free scan runs five buyer questions across up to four engines. An email address is only requested to send the full scored report.
