Check Your Generative AI Search Visibility in 30 Minutes

You can get a useful first picture of your generative AI search visibility in about 30 minutes. Ask a handful of real buyer questions in four or five AI assistants, record whether you are mentioned, how you are described and who appears instead, then look for patterns. It will not be a complete measurement, but it shows where to start.

Minutes 0 to 5: Choose Your Questions

Write eight questions across three types:

• Category questions (3): “Best project management tool for construction firms”, “Good vegan bakery in Lisbon”.
• Problem questions (3): “How do I stop my dog pulling on the lead?” if you sell training courses.
• Brand questions (2): “What is [your brand]?” and “Is [your brand] good for [use case]?”

Use the wording a customer would use, not your internal jargon.

Minutes 5 to 20: Run the Questions

Test in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude if you have access. Start a new chat for each question so earlier context does not influence the answer. Where an assistant offers web search, note whether it was used. Log each answer in a simple table with these columns:

• Assistant and question
• Mentioned? (yes / no)
• Position in the list, if any
• Description accurate? (yes / partly / no)
• Competitors named
• Sources shown, if any

Minutes 20 to 30: Read the Patterns

You appear in brand questions but not category questions

Assistants know you exist but do not connect you with the need. Usually your positioning is vague or third-party sources do not list you for that category.

You appear but with wrong details

Outdated or inconsistent facts somewhere online. Check listings, old press releases and your own older pages. See updating outdated business info in AI.

The same competitors appear everywhere

Look at the sources cited for them. Often it is one or two comparison articles or directories you are missing from.

You do not appear at all, even for your name

Your brand may be new, have few outside mentions, or share a name with something better known. Start with basics: a clear about page, consistent listings and a few credible mentions.

Answers differ a lot between assistants

If Perplexity names you but Gemini does not, compare their sources. One assistant may rely on a directory or article where you are listed, while another leans on a different index. That tells you which sources to work on next.

Limits of a Quick Check

AI answers vary from run to run and change as models and sources update. Eight questions in one session is a snapshot, not a statistic. Use it to decide what to investigate, then track a larger set of questions over time. Our guide on measuring AI visibility and brand mentions explains a more reliable method.

What to Do Next

Pick the single most common problem from your table and fix it first. Re-run the same questions in a month. If you want to go further, our AI optimization checklist lists the next steps.
