Do AI assistants recommend my company?
To find out whether AI assistants recommend your company, ask them the questions your buyers actually ask and record who gets named. This tool does that: it reads your site, works out your category and your buyer, generates the questions somebody in that position would ask an assistant, asks them, and reports how many times you appeared and who appeared instead. The answers are quoted in full, so you can check every one.
No signup. The result is yours before we ask for anything.
How this works
- 01We read your homepage and infer the category you compete in and who buys from you.
- 02We generate questions in the shapes buyers actually use: a direct category question, a recommendation request, a social-proof question, and problem-first phrasings that name no category at all.
- 03We ask those questions and record the answers verbatim.
- 04We count where your name appears as a word, not as a substring, and we list who appeared instead in frequency order.
- 05The question set is stored with the result, so checking again in a month asks the same things and the difference means something.
What it cannot tell you
- This is a sample of a handful of questions asked once. It is not a percentage of everything a buyer could ask, and we never present it as one.
- Assistants give different answers to the same question on different days. A single run tells you what happened on one day.
- We cannot see how often real buyers ask these questions. We can only tell you what happens when they do.
Questions people ask
How do I know if ChatGPT recommends my company?
Ask it the questions your buyers ask and read the answers. The reliable way is to use the phrasing a buyer would use rather than your own category name, because buyers describe problems far more often than they name categories. Run the same set again later to see whether anything moved.
Why does an AI assistant name my competitor and not me?
Assistants answer from what they have read. A competitor who is written about in places an assistant has crawled, and who explains what they do in text a crawler can read, gets named. A company whose homepage renders after JavaScript runs, or which never states plainly who it is for, has nothing to be named from.
Can you influence what AI assistants say about you?
Indirectly and slowly. What moves it is being written about in places assistants read, and saying plainly what you do and who for in text that can be read without running JavaScript. Nothing moves it in a week.
Is AI visibility the same as SEO?
They overlap and are not the same. Search ranks pages against a query; an assistant composes an answer and names whoever it can cite. A page can rank well and never be named, usually because it asserts rather than explaining how it knows.
The short version, if you would rather not run it
Buyers increasingly start with an assistant rather than a search box. The question they ask is rarely your category name — it is a description of the problem they have, and the assistant answers by naming whoever it can recall and cite in that context.
That makes visibility to assistants a different problem from ranking. Ranking is about matching a query. Being named is about being the thing an assistant can safely say, which means being explained clearly, in text, in more than one place it has read.
The most common reason a company is invisible is not competition. It is that its own site says almost nothing readable: a homepage that renders after JavaScript, or one that describes a product without ever naming who it is for. An assistant cannot recommend a company it cannot summarise.
The fix is slow and unglamorous. Say plainly what you do and who for, in text. Be written about somewhere other than your own domain. Then check again in a month, because this is the kind of change that only shows up over time.
