Does AI recommend you?
When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for what you sell, you are either in the answer or you are not. We ask those assistants the exact questions your customers ask, record whether you get named, and show you who gets named instead.
An AI visibility audit tells you whether AI assistants recommend your business when someone asks for what you sell. We build a set of roughly 24 real customer questions, mostly unbranded, seeded from what people already search for. Then we put them to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini and record 3 things: were you named, were you cited with a link, and who else came up.
The important part is that we track it weekly rather than screenshotting it once. AI answers are non-deterministic: ask the same question twice and you can get different businesses. A single screenshot proves nothing. A moving average over weeks is the only honest way to read it, and it is the only way to tell whether anything you changed actually worked.
We run this on ourselves first.
We built this because we wanted to know our own answer, and we have been running it against our own site every week since July. It is not a slide deck we bought in. It is a scan that fires 24 questions at 3 assistants, logs every answer and every source, and tracks 8 named competitors alongside us.
It has already caught something on our own site: our visibility on one assistant dropped sharply in mid-August and stayed down. That is exactly what the tool is for. A one-off audit would have missed it completely, because the week before looked fine.

- Three assistants, official APIsChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. No scrapers, no dubious workarounds.
- Tracked weeklyA moving average, because one screenshot of a non-deterministic answer proves nothing.
- Competitors namedWe record who gets recommended on the questions where you do not.
- Sources loggedEvery citation the assistant used, so you know what to go and become part of.

A quick check is £150 to £250 and tells you where you stand today. The full report is £600 to £1,200 and includes the competitor benchmark, the question set, the source analysis and a 90-day plan. Ongoing weekly tracking can be added to a retainer.

What we actually do.
Build the question set
Roughly 24 questions a real customer would ask, mostly unbranded, seeded from your Search Console data and local intent rather than guessed.
Run them weekly
Every question goes to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini on a schedule. We log the full answer, whether you were named, whether you were cited, and every source used.
Track the competitors
We record which businesses do get recommended on the questions where you do not, so you know exactly who is taking the answer.
Find the pattern
Absence is never random. It is usually a whole topic or vertical you have no content for, and that shows up clearly once you have a few weeks of data.
Give you the plan
A 90-day plan of what to publish and where to get listed, based on the sources the assistants actually cited when they recommended someone else.

Meet Sam
I built this because a client asked whether ChatGPT recommended them and I did not have an honest way to answer. Most AI audits you can buy are a screenshot and a scare. This one runs every week, logs everything, and will happily tell you that nothing changed. That is the point. If I cannot show you the trend line, I am not going to charge you for the opinion.
What this is not.
It is not a ranking. There is no league table inside ChatGPT, and anyone selling you a guaranteed position in an AI answer is selling something that does not exist. Ask the same question twice and you can get different businesses. That is why we track a moving average and talk about direction rather than a number.
It is also not a separate discipline. Google said plainly in May 2026 that there is no such thing as AI SEO, and llms.txt does nothing for AI Overviews. What actually gets you named is the same thing that always worked: being useful, clearly structured, and cited by other people. The audit tells you where you are not, and why.
