AI Visibility Self-Test

What's inside

• Prompts to adapt: five starting prompts, from asking for the best providers in your town to checking what an assistant knows about your business.
• A recording grid: columns for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews or AI Mode, and Copilot, with a simple key for linked mentions, unlinked mentions and no mention.
• A fact check: whether your services, locations, prices and opening hours are described correctly, and which websites each tool cites as sources.
• Next steps: how to follow up on gaps and how often to repeat the test.

Who it's for

Business owners and marketers who want a quick, repeatable way to see whether AI tools mention or recommend them, without specialist software.

How to use it

Use one set of prompts across every tool, in a private window or a signed-out session where you can, and fill in the grid. Note any competitors named in your place and any facts that are out of date. Results vary from one session to the next, so each run is only a snapshot: rerun it each quarter using identical prompts so the results are comparable. Then work on the gaps with our Getting Cited by AI Search checklist.
