Find out if ChatGPT recommends your business. Run a free AI visibility check at yazeo.com. It takes less than two minutes and shows you exactly which AI platforms mention your business and which ones don't.
Am I on ChatGPT?There is a simple question that most business owners have never asked: does chatgpt recommend my business?
Not "does my website rank on Google." Not "do I have good reviews." Specifically: when a potential customer asks an AI platform for a recommendation in my category in my city, does my business name come out of the AI's mouth?
If you have never checked, you are making decisions about your marketing with a massive blind spot. GoodFirms' 2026 survey found that only 14% of marketers currently track AI and LLM citation visibility (GoodFirms, 2026), despite 43% naming AI search optimization as a core strategy for 2026. That means the vast majority of businesses are investing in a channel they are not measuring, or worse, ignoring a channel they do not know exists.
This guide walks you through the exact process of checking your AI visibility across every major platform, documenting what you find, and using that information to take action. The entire audit takes about 30 minutes and will give you competitive intelligence that most of your competitors do not have.
How to check if chatgpt recommends your business
ChatGPT accounts for 87.4% of all AI referral traffic (Conductor, 2026), making it the most important platform to check first.
Open ChatGPT at chat.openai.com. You do not need a paid account. The free version works for this audit. Run each of the following queries, replacing the brackets with your actual business details:
"Best [your service] in [your city]" "Recommend a [your business type] in [your area]" "Who is the top [your service] in [your city] for [specific need your customers have]?" "Tell me about [your actual business name]" "How does [your business name] compare to [your top competitor's name]?" "What are the reviews like for [your business name]?"
For each query, document: whether your business appears in the response, what position it appears in (first named, second, third, or not at all), what the AI says about you, and whether any of the information is inaccurate. Also write down every competitor name that appears. These are the businesses currently getting the customers that AI is directing away from you.
Run the same queries two or three times on different days. SparkToro research from January 2026 found less than a 1 in 100 chance that an AI platform will give the same list of brands in any two responses to the same query (SparkToro, 2026). The recommendations shift. Running multiple checks gives you a more complete picture of who appears most consistently.
How to check your visibility on perplexity
Perplexity is the AI platform with the highest citation rate per response at 13.8%, meaning it sends the most trackable traffic to websites (Superlines, 2026). It also searches the web in real time, so results reflect your current online presence rather than outdated training data.
Open Perplexity at perplexity.ai. Run the same queries you used for ChatGPT. Perplexity's responses include numbered source citations. Check whether any of those citations link to your website. Also check whether your business is mentioned by name in the text of the response, even if your website is not directly linked.
Perplexity is especially useful for this audit because you can see exactly which sources the AI is pulling from. If a competitor appears and you do not, click their citation links to see what content Perplexity found worthy of citing. That content shows you the standard you need to meet or exceed.
The other advantage: Perplexity referral traffic shows up cleanly in Google Analytics. After running your audit, check your GA4 Acquisition reports for "perplexity.ai" as a referral source. If you see traffic, Perplexity is already citing you for some queries. If you see nothing, you have a gap to close.
How to check your visibility on google gemini
Gemini is powered by Google's infrastructure and has direct access to your Google Business Profile, Google Maps, and Google Reviews. It accounts for roughly 18% of the AI chatbot market and is growing fast (The Answer Engine, 2026).
Open Gemini at gemini.google.com. Run the same recommendation queries. Pay close attention to local queries because Gemini excels at local recommendations due to its Google Maps integration.
Also check Google AI Overviews by running your target queries in regular Google Search. When an AI Overview appears at the top of the results page, note whether your business or website is cited as a source. If you have access to Google Search Console, check Performance > Search Results and look for the AI Overview filter under Search Appearance. This shows you which of your pages are being cited in AI Overviews and for which queries.
How to check your visibility on claude
Claude uses Brave Search for web retrieval and draws heavily from its training data for entity knowledge. Open Claude at claude.ai. Run the same query set.
Claude's responses tend to be more cautious and nuanced than other platforms. It may acknowledge uncertainty or present multiple options rather than making a single strong recommendation. Pay attention to whether your business is mentioned at all, how it is described, and whether the description aligns with how you actually position your business.
Also check whether your site appears in Brave Search results. Claude's real-time retrieval depends on Brave's index. If you are not indexed there, Claude's web search cannot find you.
How to document and use your AI visibility audit results
Create a simple tracking document with the following columns for each query you ran:
Platform tested. Query used. Whether your business appeared (yes/no). Position (first named, second, third, or not named). What the AI said about you. Any inaccuracies. Competitor names that appeared.
This document becomes your baseline. It tells you exactly where you stand across every major AI platform right now. From here, you can identify three types of actionable findings:
You do not appear at all. This means you have an AI visibility gap that needs to be addressed through citation building, content optimization, schema implementation, and review strategy. The specific signals you are missing determine which work to prioritize.
You appear but with wrong information. This is an AI reputation problem. The fix starts with correcting the source information across the web that the AI draws from. See our guide on fixing what AI says wrong about your business.
You appear consistently and accurately. This is the best outcome. Your job now is to protect and strengthen that position, because competitors will eventually start optimizing too. Set a monthly monitoring schedule to track any changes.
How often should you check your AI visibility?
Monthly at minimum. AI recommendations are not static. Semrush data shows that 40 to 60% of cited sources in AI responses rotate monthly (Semrush, 2025). A business that appears in ChatGPT's answer this month might not appear next month if a competitor builds stronger signals or if the model encounters new information.
Set a recurring calendar reminder to re-run your full audit on the same date each month. Use the same queries each time so you can track changes consistently. Over three to six months, you will have a clear trendline showing whether your AI visibility is improving, declining, or staying flat.
For businesses that want automated monitoring at scale, tools like Conductor, Otterly, Peec AI, and SE Ranking now offer AI citation tracking across multiple platforms. These tools run queries automatically and report on your brand's visibility, citation frequency, and competitive share of voice. They are worth the investment for businesses with multiple locations or highly competitive categories where monthly manual checks are not sufficient.
What should you do after your first AI visibility audit?
If the audit revealed that you are invisible, start with the beginner's action plan: complete your GBP, fix your citations, add answer-based content to your website, implement schema, and activate your review strategy.
If the audit revealed specific competitors who are getting recommended instead of you, study what they are doing differently. Check their website content structure. Look at their review profiles. See where they are listed. The audit does not just show you where you stand. It shows you exactly what the winning position looks like in your market so you can build toward it.
If the audit revealed that nobody in your market is appearing in AI recommendations that is the best possible starting point. The first business in any market to build AI visibility wins the position by default. There is no one to displace. You just have to be first.
Whatever the audit reveals, the most important step is starting. Every day you do not know what AI is saying about your business is a day you are operating with incomplete information about how your customers are finding (or not finding) you.
