Is AI recommending your business?

When people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for the best business like yours, the answer is a short list. Run a free AI visibility check to see if you’re on it.

  • Whether you’re named when customers ask for recommendations in your area
  • Who’s showing up instead, and the lists and guides putting them there
  • Three quick wins to start closing the gap
Why it matters

The new front page is a single answer

More customers now ask an AI assistant where to go before they ever scroll a list of links. The assistant replies with three to five names, and most people pick from those.

Those names come from what the web says: best-of lists, local guides, directories and reviews. If your business isn’t in those sources, it isn’t in the answer, no matter how good you are.

Getting into those sources is called generative engine optimization, or GEO. This check shows where you stand today.

What the check looks at

Four signals AI assistants rely on

Recommendation searches

Lists and local guides

The best-of lists, city guides and directories shaping recommendations in your category.

Your brand footprint

Your website, Google Business Profile, reviews and listings, all of which help AI trust you.

Who’s winning instead

The businesses AI is most likely to recommend in your place, and why they’re showing up.

FAQ

About the AI visibility check

Is the AI visibility check really free?

Yes. The scan is free and you don’t need to give us your email to see your results. If you’d like the report emailed to you, you can add your email after the scan.

Is this the same as asking ChatGPT?

Not exactly. AI assistants build their recommendations from web sources like best-of lists, local guides, directories and reviews. The check searches those same sources and reports whether your business appears. AI answers vary from person to person and day to day, so treat the result as a reliable snapshot of the gap, not a copy of one answer.

What is GEO?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of getting your business named in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews. It builds on SEO, with extra focus on the lists, guides, reviews and clear information that AI tools rely on.

How long does it take?

About a minute. You’ll see each search and each AI check happen live, then your report appears right on this page.

What do you do with my information?

The business details you enter are used to run the scan, and the report is saved for 90 days so you can share it by link. If you ask for the report by email, we save your email in our CRM to send it, and only follow up if you tick the box to say we can.

What should I do after the scan?

Start with the three quick wins in your report. For the full picture and a plan to get onto the AI shortlist, book a free 30-minute audit call with Digital 6ix.
