AI visibility scanner · autonomous audit
Your customers ask AI who to trust. Are you in the answer?
You can't see what AI says about your business. Your customers can. VisiScan asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini the exact questions your buyers type — and shows you whose name comes back.
Free · no signup · results in ~60s · see a sample report →
You're invisible in 70% of buyer answers. Three competitors were named instead. Run a free scan to check yours.
Why this decides who wins
Do AI engines name your business — or a competitor?
There's no page 2 in an AI answer—and nothing in your analytics tells you you're missing from it. Being named is the new ranking #1, decided per question, per suburb.

One answer, a few names. Miss it and you're invisible — silently.

Questions
The details, without the pitch.
What's the difference between AI Visibility and AI Readiness?
Visibility is whether AI names you in its answer right now. Readiness is how well your site is built for AI to find, trust and cite you. You can be ready but not yet visible — readiness is the lever that earns visibility.
Which AI engines does VisiScan check?
Up to four engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini — with unavailable providers identified in the report.
How is this different from SEO tools?
SEO tools measure blue-link rankings. VisiScan measures the AI's answer itself — and the signals AI actually weighs: entity data, branded mentions and third-party citations, which matter far more to answer engines than on-page keywords.
What's in the $49 full report that the free scan doesn't cover?
The free scan gives you your scores and your biggest problem. The full report maps every engine × question, shows all your competitors with quoted examples, audits 30+ signals, delivers ready-to-publish schema markup and llms.txt, gives you a prioritized fix plan, and benchmarks you against your industry.
What if the AI engines don't mention my business at all?
That's exactly what the scan is for — it's the only way to know you're invisible. The report shows who AI named instead, which sources it cited, and what you need to fix to get named next time.
How do you know which competitors are winning my customers?
The scan reads your site to understand your market, generates the real buyer questions your customers type into AI engines, then sees who each engine names in the answer. If it's not you, the competitor it names is the one taking your customer.
Are the schema markup and llms.txt really ready to publish?
Yes. They're generated from your own site data — your business name, location, services and industry — so they're specific to you, not a generic template. Each fix comes with a priority ranking so you know what to ship first.
Is the scan really free?
Yes. Your verdict and scores show instantly with no signup. Add your email to keep a link to your full free breakdown. The complete report with the full fix plan is a one-time $49.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 7-day clarity guarantee. If the full report doesn't show you 5 things you didn't know about your AI visibility, reply within 7 days for a full refund.
How does the Monitor plan work?
For $29/month, VisiScan automatically re-runs your scan every week, tracks your scores over time, watches your competitors for changes, and counts the visitors AI engines send your way — with email alerts whenever something shifts.
What kinds of businesses is VisiScan designed for?
Local service businesses where customers ask AI engines for recommendations. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, dentists, lawyers, accountants, roofers, landscapers, medical clinics, and more. If someone types 'best [your trade] near me' into ChatGPT, VisiScan tells you whether your name comes back.
Does it work outside the US?
Yes — the scan localizes automatically. It reads your site, works out where you operate, and asks the questions your local buyers ask, in your market, against your real local rivals.
How long does it take?
About 60 seconds for the free scan. Full reports run a deeper sweep of up to 144 answers across 4 engines and are delivered to your email, usually within the hour.
I run an agency — can I use VisiScan for my clients?
Yes. Many agency owners use VisiScan to audit clients' AI visibility, then hand them the report. You can run scans on any business URL and share the results — there's no per-seat license or client limit.

Your competitor is in the answer. Are you?
