Free AI Visibility Checker — Is ChatGPT Mentioning Your Brand?

RankSurf's AI Visibility Scanner is one of the most comprehensive free AI visibility checkers available. Unlike most competitors that require a paid subscription to see any results, RankSurf runs 5 real ChatGPT queries with live web search, shows you a per-prompt breakdown of mentions and citations, and provides actionable improvement tips — all free, with no signup. Other tools in this space include Otterly, Peec, and Semrush's AI toolkit, but most gate their core features behind paid plans.

Enter your domain in the scanner above. RankSurf generates 5 industry-relevant prompts and sends each one to ChatGPT with live web search enabled. In under 30 seconds, you'll see exactly which queries mention your brand, which cite your website, and which ignore you entirely. No account or credit card needed.

AI visibility refers to how often and how prominently your brand is mentioned when people ask AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini questions related to your industry. As more buyers start research with AI assistants instead of search engines, being visible in AI responses is becoming as important as SEO.

SEO optimizes for search engine rankings — appearing in Google's blue links. AI visibility is about being cited or recommended in conversational AI responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. The ranking signals differ: AI models prioritize authoritative claims, structured data, third-party citations, and content that directly answers user questions — not just keywords and backlinks. A site can rank #1 on Google but be invisible to AI assistants.

We generate 5 industry-relevant prompts based on your domain and brand name, then send each one to ChatGPT with live web search enabled. We analyze the responses to detect brand mentions, citations, and competitor appearances, then compute a visibility score out of 5.

The prompts are auto-generated based on your domain and industry using the same logic as our paid product. We cover different query types — problem-solving, comparison, recommendation, and more — to give you a representative sample of how AI models respond to your category.

Yes, completely free. No credit card, no trial. We run real ChatGPT queries on your behalf to show you the value of AI visibility monitoring. If you want ongoing tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — plus alerts when you drop — that's what our paid plans are for.

You can run up to 3 scans per IP address per 24 hours. Each scan reflects the current state of ChatGPT's web search results, which can vary. For continuous monitoring with scheduled scans and change alerts, check out our paid plans.

The free scan gives you a point-in-time snapshot: 5 prompts, ChatGPT only, no history. RankSurf's paid plans run daily scans across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini; track trends over time; detect when competitors overtake you; and surface page-level fixes with expected impact.

We query ChatGPT (GPT-4o with web search enabled) so responses reflect real-time web data, not just training knowledge. This is the same model your customers use when they ask 'what's the best [product category] for X?'

Yes. Your results page has a permanent URL at /tools/ai-visibility-scan/[your-domain] that you can share with your team or on social media. The page shows your latest scan. If you or someone else scans the same domain again, the page will update to show the newest results.

Most AI brand monitoring tools (Otterly, Peec, AthenaHQ, Profound) require a paid subscription. RankSurf offers a free suite of tools: the AI Visibility Scanner checks live ChatGPT mentions, the AI Readiness Scanner scores your site's technical AI-readiness (0–100), and the GEO Content Scorer evaluates any page for AI citation signals. All three are free, with no signup required.
