AI visibility checker. Can ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity actually read your site?
An AI visibility checker tests whether AI search engines can read, understand and cite a website. This one checks your homepage and robots.txt live: AI search bot access, snippet eligibility, facts readable without JavaScript, company identity data, sitemap freshness, language and HTTPS. You get a score from 0 to 100 and the three findings that matter most on the page, plus one question put to ChatGPT about your industry and city, and the same report by email. Free, no sign-up, and it works on your competitors' sites too.
- Free
- 9 live checks
- One question to ChatGPT
- Report by email too
What the AI visibility checker tests
An AI search engine does not give you ten links to choose from. It gives one answer and names one or two companies in it. To be one of them, the engine's search bot has to be let in and your facts have to be quotable. The checker tests exactly that, with a few requests to your site and no crawl.
| Check | What is checked | What a failure means |
|---|---|---|
| 1. AI search bots | Whether robots.txt lets OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot and Bingbot in | That engine cannot fetch your pages, so it cannot cite them. |
| 2. Training bots | GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and others | Reported on its own line. Blocking them is your choice, not a fault. |
| 3. Snippet eligibility | nosnippet, max-snippet and noindex in meta robots or X-Robots-Tag | The engine may find you but is not allowed to quote you. |
| 4. Facts without JavaScript | A main heading, readable text, phone and address in the raw HTML | The page renders only in JavaScript; a bot sees an empty shell. |
| 5. Company identity | Name, address, phone and links to your profiles (sameAs) | AI cannot tell for sure who you are or where you work. |
| 6. Basics | Sitemap freshness, page language and HTTPS | Small signals with a low weight in the score. |
| 7. ChatGPT question | One question about your industry and city, asked live | Shows whether ChatGPT names you, and who it names instead. One run, not a ranking. |
We compute the score ourselves from these checks; anything we could not measure is shown as not assessed, never as zero. As a second opinion, the report adds the independent is-agentic.com score when it is ready.
How to read your score
- ✦Search bots blocked or snippets off: fix these first. Until they are fixed, the engine concerned cannot quote you, whatever else is on the page.
- ✦Facts only after JavaScript, or no company data: next in line. AI may reach the page but cannot be sure what you do, where, or how to reach you.
- ✦ChatGPT did not name you: common for smaller businesses even with a clean technical score. Answers lean on mentions in articles, directories and comparisons written by others, and they vary from run to run, so one answer is a sample, not a verdict.
- ✦Second opinion (is-agentic.com): an independent score of how well an AI agent could act on your site. Useful context, but not part of our score.
What to do with a low score
The report shows the three findings that matter most. Most of them come down to four things: AI search bots allowed in robots.txt, snippets allowed, facts in the HTML a bot gets without JavaScript, and consistent company identity data. You can do them yourself (this checklist is enough for a developer), or we deliver them as a one-off AI search setup for 199 €, a final price, with a re-test and a before-and-after report.
A good score is the precondition, not the result. Whether ChatGPT actually mentions you also depends on what others write about you and on how you rank in Google. That work is described on the generative engine optimization page, together with two cases with numbers and the prompt and answer in which ChatGPT named us.
Frequently asked questions about the AI visibility checker
What does the AI visibility checker test?
It checks your homepage and robots.txt live: whether AI search bots (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot, Bingbot) are allowed in, whether snippets are allowed, whether the key facts are in the HTML without JavaScript, whether the company identity data is there, plus sitemap freshness, page language and HTTPS. Training bots are reported on their own line as your choice. It then asks ChatGPT one question about your industry in your city.
Is the AI visibility checker really free?
Yes. You enter a web address and your email; the result appears on the page as the checks run, and the same report arrives by email. No sign-up, no card, no subscription, and you can check a competitor too. The address and email are used only to deliver the report and reply to it.
Does the checker show whether ChatGPT mentions my brand?
For one question, yes. The checker asks ChatGPT one question about your industry in your city and shows whether the answer names you, and who it names instead. Answers vary from run to run, so one answer is a sample, not a ranking. Tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google, with repeated questions and the answers quoted verbatim, is part of our monthly monitoring service.
What is a good score?
The score runs from 0 to 100 and weighs the checks that decide whether you can be quoted at all, AI search bot access and snippets, most heavily. More useful than the number are the three findings under it: fix blocked search bots and disabled snippets first, then facts hidden behind JavaScript and missing company data. Anything we could not measure is shown as not assessed, never as zero.
Who computes the scores?
We compute the score ourselves from the checks listed above, and each check can be verified on your own site. As a second opinion, the report adds the independent is-agentic.com score when it is ready.
What do I do with a low score?
The report shows the three findings that matter most. Most come down to four things: AI search bots allowed in robots.txt, snippets allowed, facts in the HTML a bot gets without JavaScript, and consistent company identity data. We fix exactly that as a one-off AI search setup for 199 €, a final price, with a re-test and a before-and-after report.
Run the check, then decide.
The report is free and yours to keep. If it shows something needs fixing, the setup costs 199 €, or we can talk it through on a 30-minute call first.
