Frequently Asked Questions

What does this AI visibility checker do?
It sends a real search query to Perplexity AI (a leading AI search engine) and checks whether your brand appears in the AI-generated answer. You see your visibility score (0–100), mention position, the full AI response, and the web sources cited.
Is this AI visibility checker free?
Yes. The basic checker is completely free — no sign-up, no credit card. Enter your brand and keyword and get your result in under 30 seconds.
Which AI systems does this tool check?
The free checker queries Perplexity AI (Sonar model), which uses live web retrieval. Perplexity is one of the fastest-growing AI search engines and reflects near-real-time web data. Rankfender's full platform tracks 7 AI systems including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and Llama.
How is the AI visibility score (0–100) calculated?
The score is based on your brand's position in the AI-generated recommendation list. Position 1 scores ~90, position 2 scores ~75, position 3 scores ~60, and so on. Not mentioned scores ~5. A bonus of +5 is added if your brand's URL appears in the cited web sources.
What keyword should I enter?
Enter the category keyword your customers use when searching for solutions — for example "SEO tools", "project management software", or "email marketing platform". Avoid branded queries (your own brand name as the keyword) — you want to see if AI recommends you for generic category searches.
My brand is not mentioned — what should I do?
If your brand doesn't appear, it typically means AI systems lack sufficient signals to recommend you. Common fixes: publish structured FAQ content and definitive category guides; earn citations from high-authority publications; add FAQPage and Organization schema markup; grow verified reviews on G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot. Rankfender's platform provides a full roadmap with RAISA.
How often should I check my AI visibility?
Perplexity updates near-daily via live web retrieval, so you can check weekly for active optimization campaigns. For continuous monitoring across 7 AI systems and all your category keywords, Rankfender automates this with daily scans and alerts.
What is the difference between this checker and Rankfender's RAIVE Engine?
This free checker runs one query on one AI engine (Perplexity) for one keyword. Rankfender's RAIVE Engine continuously monitors 7 AI systems across all your tracked keywords, tracks competitor positions, measures sentiment quality, and provides weekly optimization recommendations via the RAISA AI assistant.
