Is your business visible in AI search?
AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity now answer questions that used to go to Google. When someone asks one of them "who offers this near me" or "which company should I choose", your business either gets named or it doesn't.
This short check scores how findable you are in AI search today, based on the signals AI models actually use: consistent business details, a complete Google profile, plain-language content, structured data, recent reviews, mobile speed and open access for AI crawlers. You'll get a score, a rating and a prioritised list of the things worth fixing first.
Nine honest questions about your business.
Answer as truthfully as you can. Nothing is saved to your browser or sent anywhere. Your answers live in this page only, and disappear the moment you close the tab.
Is your business name, address and phone number identical everywhere it appears online?
Website, Google, Facebook, directories, invoices - all matching, letter for letter.
Do you have a Google Business Profile that is fully filled in and verified?
Categories, hours, services, photos, description - not just a claimed shell.
Does your website say plainly what you do, who you help and where, above the fold?
A visitor should get it in five seconds without scrolling or squinting.
Does your site have a proper FAQ section answering the questions buyers actually ask?
Does your website have structured data (schema markup) on your key pages?
Things like LocalBusiness, FAQ and Article schema hidden in the page code.
Do you have recent (last 6 months) reviews that mention specific services or outcomes?
Have you actually asked ChatGPT or Perplexity about your business or category?
"Who does X in [my town]" or "recommend a [what you do]".
Does your website load quickly and work properly on a phone?
Is your website open to AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot?
Some sites block them by default in robots.txt. If you block them, you can't be cited.

Common questions about AI search visibility.
What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility is how easily AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Claude can find, understand and recommend your business when someone asks them a question. It builds on traditional SEO but weights different signals: clear plain-language content, structured data, consistent business info, fresh reviews and open crawler access.
Why does AI search matter for a small business?
More buyers now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI a question before they ever run a normal search. If your business isn't visible in those answers, you're invisible to a growing share of the market - and the businesses that do show up get the enquiry.
How accurate is this self-check?
It's a directional guide, not a full audit. It looks at the AEO signals we see move the needle for small businesses. A written audit from Sitelift checks the same signals against your actual site, listings and reviews and gives you a fix list in priority order.
