A new free checker reveals whether your company shows up in ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Most businesses don't know they're invisible to AI search engines.
Your Google ranking looks solid. Your website converts. But if a customer asks ChatGPT where to buy, your name never comes up. That's because AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews operate on a completely separate visibility layer from traditional Google Search, and most business owners have no idea whether they're visible there or not.
AlchemyLeads released a free checker that reveals exactly where your business appears (and doesn't) across major AI search platforms. It's a reality check that many owners need: most businesses discover they're invisible to AI search engines entirely.
First, many businesses block AI crawlers without realizing it. A robots.txt rule that seemed like a privacy protection can render you completely invisible to ChatGPT and Gemini. Second, being on the web doesn't mean AI search engines have indexed you or are willing to recommend you. Third, different AI platforms have different visibility rules, you might show up on Perplexity but not Gemini, or vice versa.
The checker lets you see which of these problems apply to your business. Once you know what's broken, the prioritized recommendations tell you what to fix first.
After you run the checker, treat the results like a competitive audit. Look at which AI platforms recommend your top three competitors. If those platforms are active in your space, that's where you need visibility. Then follow the prioritized recommendations to improve access, indexing, and recommendation potential.
AI visibility is becoming as important as being on the first page of Google. The difference is that most owners still don't know to check it. The free checker closes that gap.
How WebKing runs this
We evaluate your presence in AI search recommendations, scan crawler access, score your AI visibility against competitors, and deliver prioritized actions to get you found.
AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity operate independently from traditional Google rankings. A customer asking an AI for a recommendation will see your competitor's name, not yours, even if you rank higher on Google Search. Visibility in both channels is now essential.
Yes. The checker evaluates whether AI search crawlers can access your site and content. Some businesses block AI crawlers in their robots.txt file without realizing it, making them invisible to ChatGPT and Gemini no matter how good their content is.
The checker provides competitive insights showing which AI platforms are recommending your competitors. If your main rivals show up on Perplexity and ChatGPT, those platforms are where your customers are getting recommendations.
The checker delivers prioritized recommendations, specific changes you can make to improve visibility. These are ranked by impact, so you focus on the moves that will move the needle fastest.
