ChatGPT Visibility Checker
Ask ChatGPT the question your customers ask — three live runs — and see whether it names you, where you appear, and who it recommends instead.
Quick answer
A ChatGPT visibility checker asks ChatGPT a question your customers would ask, then reads the generated answer to see whether your brand or domain is named, at what position, and which competitors it recommends instead. This free checker runs the question three times live and reports a mention rate you can track over time.
Why ChatGPT visibility matters
ChatGPT now answers "which tool should I use for X" for hundreds of millions of people. Those answers are not rankings — they are recommendations assembled from what ChatGPT can retrieve and trust. If your brand is not named, you do not exist in that conversation, no matter where you rank on Google.
How the check works
- Your question is sent to ChatGPT three separate times, exactly as a user would ask it.
- Each answer is scanned for your brand name and your domain.
- You get a mention rate, your average position among named options, and the exact sentence that names you.
- Every other domain ChatGPT recommended is listed with how often it appeared.
Reading the results
| Mention rate | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 67–100% | ChatGPT treats you as a default recommendation. | Defend: keep facts, reviews and docs current so the recommendation stays true. |
| 33–67% | You are in the conversation but not settled. | Publish comparison and "best X for Y" pages with concrete data ChatGPT can quote. |
| 0% | ChatGPT has no citable source for you in this category yet. | Study who is named instead, close the content gap, add Organization schema and llms.txt, re-test in 2–4 weeks. |
Making ChatGPT name you
Models recommend what they can verify: an entity with structured data, pages that answer the question directly, third-party corroboration, and fresh evidence. Run the AI Visibility Checker to confirm the foundations are in place, generate the missing files with the llms.txt Generator and AI-aware robots.txt Generator, and re-run this checker after each change. Mention rate is a lagging indicator — foundations first, then measurement.

- What does a ChatGPT visibility checker do?
- It asks ChatGPT itself, live, the question your customers would ask, then reads the generated answer to see whether your brand or domain is named, where in the answer you appear, and which competitors ChatGPT recommended instead.
- Why three runs instead of one?
- ChatGPT answers vary from run to run — wording, recommendations and citations all shift. Three independent runs turn a single lucky or unlucky answer into a mention rate, which is the number you can actually track over time.
- What is a good mention rate?
- Above 50% means ChatGPT names you more often than not — competitive for most categories. 0% across three runs with the same competitors each time usually means the model simply has no citable source for you yet: publish answer-shaped pages, add structured data, and re-test in a few weeks.
- How is this different from the AI Brand Mention Tracker?
- This checker is ChatGPT-specific and question-focused: one question, three live runs, a mention rate and the exact sentences. The Brand Mention Tracker spreads the same idea across several engines and questions for a broader sample.
- Does ChatGPT know it is being tested?
- No. The question is asked exactly as a real user would ask it, and the answer is read the way ChatGPT generated it — no prompt tricks that would inflate the result.
