An AI visibility checker measures whether AI engines name a brand when answering buyer questions in its category. MaxAEO's free checker reads your site and shows the buyer questions it will ask and the rivals it will compare you with; the free trial then puts those questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok and Google's AI and reports whether you were named and where, who was named alongside you, and which pages were cited. Sample reports for well-known brands show the full result on the page.

How to read the results
- Mention rate
- The share of all AI answers collected for your brand's buyer questions that name you — the same number as in the full report. It covers every engine and every question, so a strong total can still hide a weak engine; the third tile shows the weakest.
- The matrix
- Rows are buyer questions, columns are engines. A number is your position among the brands that answer names; a cross means you were not named. A column of crosses is an engine where buyers never hear of you.
- Who else is named
- Brands the engines name for the same questions, by share of answers. This is your competitive set as the engines see it — often not the set you had in mind.
- Where the answers came from
- Pages the engines cited: yours, another brand's, or community. Engines recommend from what they read; the cited pages are where being named starts.
- For your own brand
- Entering your website shows how we read it, the questions buyers in your category ask AI, and the brands you will be compared with. Starting the free trial asks those questions on all 8 engines and gives you the same report as the examples, updated daily.
How to get named more often
- 1
Target the cited pages
If engines cite a comparison article that omits you, that article is the target — get listed, or publish a better one. If they cite a community thread, that is where your users' voices are missing.
- 2
Publish the answer to the question
For each 'not named' question, publish a page that answers it directly, with your brand in the first paragraph and the category named explicitly.
- 3
Fix the site plumbing first
If crawlers are blocked or the site is empty without JavaScript, engines cannot read your pages at all. The AEO checker shows which.
- 4
Track it, don't spot-check it
Answers change with model updates and new pages. Re-running the same questions daily is what turns anecdotes into a trend.
Compared with other ways to check
| Asking the engine yourself | Traditional SEO tools | AI Visibility Checker | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | One engine, one question at a time | Google results only — no AI answers | 8 AI engines answering the same buyer questions |
| Repeatability | Answers change every time you ask | Daily position tracking, but not for AI | A fixed prompt set you can re-run and compare |
| Competitor context | You have to ask about each rival yourself | Keyword overlap, not AI recommendations | Every brand the engines name, scored side by side |
| Sources | Citations buried in the chat | Backlinks, not AI citations | Cited pages grouped as owned, competitor or community |
What is an AI visibility check and how does it work?
A growing share of buying research now starts as a question to an AI assistant instead of a search box. The answer that comes back usually names three to six brands — and there is no page two. If your brand is not in that shortlist, the buyer may finish their research without ever seeing your name. AI visibility is simply the measure of how often you make that shortlist, and it behaves differently from classic search visibility: it is decided per question, per engine, and it can be high on one engine while sitting at zero on another.
A proper check works like a survey, not a spot check. MaxAEO takes ten buyer-style questions for your category — the 'best X for Y', 'what do teams use for Z' questions real customers ask — and puts each one to eight engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews. Every answer is recorded in full, then read: which brands were named, in what order, and which web pages the engine cited while answering. That grid is what produces your mention rate and the list of who is named alongside you. The examples on this page show that grid for real brands; for yours, the free trial runs it and then repeats it daily.
Reading the report, three things matter most: your overall mention rate, the engine where you are weakest, and who owns the pages the engines cite. The action plan follows from those — close the questions where you are absent, and get your brand into the community and comparison pages the engines already trust. Because the question set stays fixed, re-running the check after a month of work tells you whether the needle actually moved.

Frequently asked questions
AI visibility is how often, and how favorably, AI engines mention your brand when people ask them questions in your category. Unlike a search results page, an AI answer typically names only a handful of brands, so being absent means a buyer may never hear of you. MaxAEO measures it by asking each engine a fixed set of buyer-style questions and recording whether you appear, in what position, with what sentiment, and which sources the engine cited.
Because the engines disagree. In the sample report above, Slack is named in 65% of ChatGPT answers but in a very different share on Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and each engine leans on different sources. A brand can look healthy on one engine and be invisible on another. Checking all eight at once shows you where the real gaps are instead of averaging them away.
Every buyer question is sent to every monitored engine, which gives a grid of answers — for example 10 questions × 8 engines = 80 answers. Mention rate is the share of those answers in which your brand is named. The report also breaks it down per engine and per question, so a 70% overall rate can still hide a 0% on a question that matters to you.
The score (0–100) combines mention rate with position and sentiment: being named first with positive framing counts for more than being listed last in a neutral list. It is meant for tracking your own progress over time and for comparing yourself with the competitors in the same report, not as an absolute industry benchmark.
A position tracker records where a URL appears on a Google results page for a keyword. AI engines don't return a page of links; they write an answer and name a few brands, often citing sources that never appear in the top ten. This checker records the answer itself — whether you were named, alongside whom, and which pages were cited — which is the information an SEO tool cannot see.
The examples are reports MaxAEO has already run, so they load instantly, with the date they were collected. For your brand, asking eight engines ten questions takes a few minutes, so the page first shows the questions we will ask and the rivals we will compare you with; starting the free trial runs them — no card required.
Both, in two steps. The free check on this page is the start of an AI visibility audit: it reads your site and lays out the buyer questions and rivals the audit will use. The AI visibility report, with every answer from 8 engines, your mention rate, position, rivals and cited sources, is what the free trial produces; the sample reports on this page show exactly what it looks like.
Yes. AI visibility, AI search visibility and LLM visibility describe the same thing: whether AI assistants and AI search features name your brand when buyers ask. This checker covers both the assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity) and Google's AI search features (AI Overviews and AI Mode).
