Do AI answers know your business exists?
Your next customer is asking ChatGPT who to call. This check runs real buyer-intent questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — and shows whether they recommend you, quote you, or hand the job to a competitor.
How it works
Tools like Profound and AthenaHQ charge $200–$2,000/mo for this. Your first look is free.
We ask like a buyer
Six real buyer-intent questions for your category and city — "best plumber in Alton", "who should I call today" — the exact way people ask AI.
3 engines, checked live
Every question runs against ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini in parallel. No cached data — this is what the engines say right now.
See who wins
Mentioned or invisible, per engine, per question — with the exact quote when you appear and the competitors named when you don't.
Common questions
Why do the answers matter if they change every time?
AI answers do vary run to run — but invisibility doesn't. If you're absent from most answers today, you're absent when a real customer asks tonight. The pattern across 18 engine-checks is the signal, not any single answer.
How do AI engines decide which businesses to mention?
They lean on your citations, reviews, Google Business Profile, structured data, and how often trusted sources mention you by name. That's exactly the layer Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) builds — and exactly what Locafy does.
I showed up on one engine but not the others. Is that normal?
Very. Each engine pulls from different sources — Perplexity leans on live web citations, Gemini on Google's index, ChatGPT on its training data plus search. Partial visibility usually means your signals are thin, not missing.
What if I'm invisible everywhere?
That's the most common result for local businesses right now — and it's fixable. The engines aren't rejecting you; they just have nothing to read. Building your citation, review, and schema layer typically moves this within months.
Invisible to AI? That's fixable.
