Does this tool check whether ChatGPT cites my website?

No. It checks inspectable website signals and does not query ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or another AI system for rankings, citations, or visibility.

What is the difference between AI search readiness and actual AI visibility?

Readiness describes signals that can be inspected on a website. Actual visibility means whether a particular AI system retrieves, displays, or cites that site, which this tool does not measure.

Can I analyze pasted HTML?

Yes. If your browser blocks a direct URL fetch because of CORS, paste the page HTML into the fallback field. That analysis runs locally in the browser.

Does structured data guarantee AI citations?

No. Structured data can make facts easier for machines to parse, but it does not guarantee indexing, rankings, citations, or visibility.

Does llms.txt guarantee AI visibility?

No. llms.txt is a proposed, human-curated text overview and support varies between systems. Publishing it does not guarantee AI visibility.

TOOLS/AI VISIBILITY CHECKER

AI Visibility Checker

Audit inspectable website signals related to AI search readiness: crawlability, metadata, structured data, content clarity, and site identity.

Analysis happens locally in your browser. This tool does not send submitted URLs, page content, or pasted HTML to an API.

What is AI search visibility?

AI search visibility describes whether a website can be discovered, understood, and potentially used by an AI-powered search experience. Actual retrieval and citation depend on the specific system, its sources, freshness, policies, and query context.

What is an AI visibility checker?

An AI visibility checker reviews public signals that help machines interpret a site. This checker inspects page HTML and, when the browser can access them, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt. It does not query an AI system or report whether a site is actually cited.

AI visibility vs traditional SEO

Traditional SEO often focuses on helping search engines crawl, index, and rank pages. AI search readiness overlaps with those fundamentals but also emphasizes clear entities, descriptive content, useful links, and machine-readable context. Neither set of practices guarantees an AI answer or citation.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is a broad term for improving how clearly information is presented for generative search and answer systems. There is no single universal GEO standard, and the term does not describe a guaranteed ranking method.

How AI systems discover website content

Systems can use different combinations of crawled pages, search indexes, licensed sources, user-provided links, and other data. Their retrieval and citation behavior varies, so a public page and good markup are readiness signals rather than proof of visibility.

How structured data can help machines understand a website

Schema.org JSON-LD can state relationships such as an organization, article, product, or website in a machine-readable form. It can reduce ambiguity when it accurately matches visible content, but it does not guarantee indexing, rankings, or citations.

Does llms.txt improve AI visibility?

llms.txt is a proposed plain-text overview and support varies between AI systems and tools. It may be useful as a curated map of important resources, but it does not guarantee AI visibility. You can create an llms.txt file with the free generator.

How to make a website easier for AI systems to understand

Use a specific title, description, and one clear H1 for each important page.
Keep important information in readable HTML and use descriptive internal links.
Publish accurate structured data that matches the visible page.
Make crawl preferences, sitemap locations, and site identity understandable.
Review content for clarity, authorship, dates, and first-hand context where relevant.

AI visibility checklist

Can a browser and permitted crawler reach the important pages?
Does each page explain its purpose in the title, description, headings, and body copy?
Are organization, author, publisher, and site relationships clear where applicable?
Are JSON-LD, Open Graph, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml accurate rather than merely present?
Is there a focused, maintained set of important internal links?
