Is My Business Visible on AI Search?
The quickest way to find out: ask. Open ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity and type "recommend a [your service] in [your area]." If your business does not appear, you have an AI visibility gap.
In our testing of 1,400+ UK business websites, 77% are sending confusing signals to AI search platforms. Most business owners have no idea this is happening.
How to Check Yourself
1. Ask ChatGPT
Type "recommend a [your service] in [your location]" and see if your business appears. Try 3-5 different phrasings.
2. Ask Gemini
Same questions in Google's Gemini. Results often differ from ChatGPT because they source from different places.
3. Ask Perplexity
Perplexity explicitly cites its sources. Check whether your website is being cited or if competitors are.
4. Check Google AI Overviews
Search your service on Google and look for the AI Overview box at the top. Is your business mentioned?
What to Do If You Are Not Visible
AI visibility is not about one fix. It is about five signal layers working together: Identity Clarity, Subject Authority, Meaning Architecture, Ecosystem Validation and Signal Consistency.
Our free AI Search Visibility Audit tests all five across all six platforms and tells you exactly where to start.
