Yes. Preferly’s free check asks 3 AI models the questions a new customer would ask and shows whether they name your business. In about a minute you get a score out of 100, how often AI named you, how many competitors it named instead, and your top fix.

## What an AI visibility checker should test

- **Whether AI names you without being asked about you.** The useful questions are the ones a new customer types, like “best dentist near me”, not your business name.
- **Whether what AI says is true.** Hours, prices, services and location, checked against your own website.
- **Which sources AI cites.** Your own site and profiles, or directories and lists that name your competitors.
- **Whether AI can reach your site.** Robots.txt rules, bot checks, and whether your key facts are readable as text.

## The free check and the full report

**Free check:** 3 AI models, 5 customer questions, on screen in about a minute. Your score out of 100 with its four parts, how often AI names you, how many competitors it names instead, up to 2 places where AI contradicts your website, whether AI tools can reach your site, and your top fix.

**Full report, $99 once:** 10 leading AI models and 5+ customer questions. Every competitor AI recommends instead of you, by name.

## How to check by hand

You can run a rough version yourself in a few minutes.

1. Open a new chat in the assistants your customers use, such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Sign out or use a private window if you can, so your own history doesn’t shape the answer.
2. Ask three or four questions a new customer would ask, without your name: “Who’s the best plumber in Tucson?”, “Where can I get a same-day crown near downtown Austin?”, “Which bakery in Portland does custom wedding cakes?”
3. Then ask about your business by name, and compare its hours, prices and services with your website.
4. Write down, for each answer: whether you were named, your place in the list, who was named instead, anything wrong, and the sources it linked.

Answers change from day to day, so repeat the same questions after you make changes. The free check runs the same kind of test for you and keeps the questions and answers.

## What the results mean

- **AI names competitors and not you:** AI found them on more of the pages it reads. Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitor instead of me?
- **AI names you but gets facts wrong:** it’s usually repeating an outdated source. Where do ChatGPT and other AI tools get information about my business?
- **AI can’t reach your site:** a robots.txt rule or bot check is turning AI crawlers away. Check your site free.
- **The score:** what each of its four parts measures is on What is an AI visibility score, and what’s a good one?

## Questions

### Is the free check really free?

Yes. There’s no card and no trial, and no email needed. One free check per website every 30 days. The result shows on screen, and you can have it emailed to you if you like.

### Which AI models does the free check ask?

ChatGPT, Gemini Flash and Claude Sonnet, each through its API with web search on. The full report asks 10 leading AI models.

### Does it check Google AI Overviews or Perplexity?

Not yet. Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot aren’t covered yet. The methodology lists exactly who we ask.

### Will I get the same result if I ask ChatGPT myself?

Close, but not identical. The apps add their own instructions, personalization and memory, and answers vary from run to run. Treat any result as a snapshot, and compare like with like.

### Is this the same as an SEO checker?

No. An SEO checker looks at your pages and how they rank in Google. An AI visibility checker asks AI assistants about businesses like yours and reads what they answer.
