The free AI visibility audit
Is ChatGPT recommending you, or your competitor?
When customers ask AI for the best in town, it names just a few businesses. We run the real queries and show you exactly where you stand, with every answer captured as proof.

Why this matters
Search used to give you ten chances. AI gives you one answer.
Google gave you ten spots, and ranking anywhere on page one got you found. AI gives one answer that names two or three businesses. Either you're one of the names, or you were never in the running.
The old way
Google · ten blue linksEven ranked seventh, customers scrolled, compared, and called you. SEO was a ladder, slow but climbable from any rung.
The new way
AI assistants · one answer> best dentist near me
Based on current reviews, Northpoint Dental Studio and Lakeview Family Dental are highly rated and frequently recommended.
And that's the entire answer. No list. No page two. No scrolling past.
Not named? You don't exist.
AI reads the web, picks the few names it trusts, and answers in a sentence. Two or three businesses get the customer. There isn't even a ladder anymore.
The industry calls this GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) or AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). Translation: being one of the names AI says out loud when your customers ask. That's what this audit measures.

The procedure
Three steps. Sixty seconds. Zero guesswork.
We ask the AIs
We run the exact questions your customers ask, like “best dentist near me” or “emergency plumber in town”, against ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity with live web access.
We inspect your site
We check what AI crawlers actually see: robots.txt access for GPTBot and ClaudeBot, structured data, sitemap health, content depth, and whether your site renders without JavaScript.
You get the verdict
A 0 to 100 visibility score, a leaderboard showing who's winning your queries, and a prioritized fix list, with every AI transcript kept as evidence.
Exhibit A · sample dossier
Receipts, not vibes.
Every audit produces verbatim AI transcripts, a competitor leaderboard, and a prioritized fix list. Here's the full artifact for a plumbing company, ready to inspect before you enter anything.
Who the AIs recommend instead
Aggregated across 24 web-grounded queries · 3 models
The findings
Your robots.txt's Disallow rules match GPTBot and ClaudeBot, read straight from the file. Those models are told not to read your site; competitors with open sites get cited instead.
Your pages have no structured data telling AI who you are, where you are, or what you do. You're asking the models to guess.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Ask it the way a customer would, with prompts like “best dentist near me” or “top roofer in [your town]”, and see whether your name appears. To know systematically, run an AI visibility audit: TrustedByAI sends real, web-grounded queries to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, records every answer verbatim, and shows whether you were named, what position you ranked, and which competitors were recommended instead.
AI visibility is whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity name your business when people ask for recommendations. The practice of improving it is called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) or AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). Unlike traditional SEO, where ten results share page one, an AI answer names only two or three businesses, so visibility is binary: you're one of the names, or you're invisible.
Four levers matter most: (1) let AI crawlers read your site, with no robots.txt or firewall blocks on GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot; (2) add structured data (LocalBusiness and FAQ schema) so models know who you are, where you are, and what you do; (3) build review volume and a consistent business identity across Google and your website; (4) publish content that directly answers the questions customers ask AI. An audit shows which lever is holding you back.
Many sites do without knowing it: robots.txt rules or firewall and CDN bot protection silently refuse GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, which means AI models can't read your site at all. TrustedByAI tests this directly: we fetch and parse your robots.txt rules and send real requests using each AI crawler's published user-agent, then report the exact HTTP status each one received.
Yes. We run real, web-grounded queries against ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity and a full technical scan of your site. Your three highest-severity findings are free with no email required; the full report unlocks with your email address.
Four categories: AI presence (do the models mention you, and at what position), technical readiness (can AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot read your site, schema markup, sitemap), entity & reputation (Google Business Profile, reviews, NAP consistency), and content readiness (does your site answer the questions people actually ask AI).
The free audit queries ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, always in web-grounded mode, so the answers reflect what real users see today. The paid Deep Audit adds Claude and triples the query battery.
About 60 to 90 seconds. You watch it run live: each query and check appears as it completes, then your score and competitor leaderboard are revealed.
No. Unlocking the full report sends you the PDF plus a short follow-up sequence about your specific findings. Unsubscribe is one click, and we never sell your data.
