What is an AI visibility check?

An AI visibility check tests whether generative AI systems mention your brand when users in your market ask for recommendations. It queries the models, logs the answers, and shows how often your domain gets mentioned compared to competitors.

How do I check if ChatGPT mentions my brand?

Enter your domain above — the free check starts instantly. It queries Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity live and shows how often your site gets mentioned. For ongoing tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google, RankWay checks your tracked prompts daily.

Is the check really free?

Yes. No account, no credit card, no sales pitch — enter your domain, get your report. The free version covers Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity; daily tracking across all platforms is part of the paid plans.

Which AI platforms does RankWay track?

The free live check covers Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity. Inside the app, prompt tracking adds ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot — including the full saved text of every answer.

How often should I check my AI visibility?

AI answers keep changing, so a one-time snapshot goes stale fast. Checking monthly is the bare minimum for spotting trends; RankWay checks your tracked prompts daily so you catch shifts right away instead of months later.

Why isn't my brand mentioned in AI answers?

Usually because the sources the models rely on don't mention you either: you're not ranking strong enough for the relevant topics, your pages are hard to parse, or you're missing third-party mentions. The report shows which of these three cases applies to your domain.

Can ChatGPT even read your website?

Many websites block AI crawlers without knowing it — often a blanket disallow from an old robots.txt template. Block GPTBot and you vanish from ChatGPT's knowledge. Check it in 5 seconds.

Why crawler access decides your AI visibility

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI answer millions of buying questions every day. Their crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and 40+ more — decide which websites appear in those answers. Block them in robots.txt and you're neither absorbed into model knowledge nor cited live when a user asks at the decisive moment.

The three crawler types work differently: training crawlers feed the models' permanent knowledge, search crawlers build the AI search index, and live crawlers fetch your page exactly when a user is asking. A single blanket "Disallow: /" from an old template makes you invisible to all three. An llms.txt additionally helps AI systems understand your most important content.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does this check do?

We fetch your website's robots.txt and evaluate which of the known AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI, Meta, Apple and more) may read your homepage, which are partially restricted and which are fully blocked. We also check whether an llms.txt exists.

I block AI crawlers on purpose — isn't that good against content scraping?

It's a trade: protection versus visibility. Block AI crawlers and you won't appear in AI answers — exactly where more and more customers research before buying. For most businesses the visibility loss clearly outweighs the protection.

How do I fix blocked crawlers?

Allow the relevant user agents in your robots.txt (or remove the blanket disallow) and add an llms.txt. RankWay does both automatically and then measures how often AIs actually recommend you.
