How it works

How the ChatGPT visibility check works

Three questions, one answer each, and a program that reads them. No opinion and no score — just whether you were named, and who was named instead.

01

What the free ChatGPT visibility check does

Paste your web address. Quaryan reads your site, writes three questions your customers would type into ChatGPT — a recommendation, a problem, a comparison — and asks ChatGPT each one with web search on, without ever naming you.

02

What you find out

For every question: whether ChatGPT named your business, whether it linked your website as a source, the sentence it used, and which websites it recommended instead. And whether your robots.txt lets ChatGPT's crawlers read your site at all.

03

What to do next

If ChatGPT does not mention you, the free plan tells you what to change so that it does: the facts your site should state plainly, the pages worth writing, and the technical fixes. Marketers call this generative engine optimization, or GEO.

Why

Why ChatGPT recommends some websites and not others

When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, it usually searches the web first. It reads a handful of pages, decides which businesses answer the question, and writes an answer that names them and cites the pages it used. Whether you are named comes down to whether your pages were among the ones it read, and whether they said something worth repeating.

That makes three things decisive. Your site has to be readable by ChatGPT's crawlers — GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User — which your robots.txt can turn away. Your pages have to state plainly what you offer, for whom and where, in sentences a model can quote. And the questions your customers ask have to be answered somewhere, by you or by pages that mention you: comparisons, reviews, directories.

Being named and being cited are not the same thing. ChatGPT may mention your business from memory without linking your site, or link your site as a source without naming you in the sentence. The check reports both, because both are visibility, and the second is the one you can build on.

Answers also vary. Ask the same question twice and ChatGPT may name you once and not the second time. One check is a snapshot; Quaryan's paid plans repeat it before every monthly review and show the line over months, which is the number worth watching.

From our monthly study of which local businesses AI assistants name

AI visibility · Study

AI assistants change their lists every month — but not whom they leave out

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity the same 1,728 questions about local businesses in six Swiss cities, a month after the first time. Only a third of the names in a list were the same; who gets named at all hardly changed — and the more Google reviews, the more often named still holds.

What to do

How to get ChatGPT to mention and recommend your business

Some call it ChatGPT SEO or AI SEO; marketers call it generative engine optimization, or GEO. It is mostly the clarity Google already rewards, done for answers instead of links.

  1. 01

    Let ChatGPT's crawlers in

    Check your robots.txt for rules that block GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot or ChatGPT-User. A blocked crawler means ChatGPT cannot read your site, and no page can be the answer while it is.

  2. 02

    State the plain facts

    On your home page and your main pages, say in one sentence what you offer, for whom, where, and at what price. Models quote clear sentences; they do not infer from slogans.

  3. 03

    Answer the questions your customers ask

    Write one page per question — the recommendation, the problem, the comparison — with the answer in the first paragraph and the specifics after it. Those are the pages ChatGPT reads when it searches.

  4. 04

    Be mentioned elsewhere

    Reviews, directories, comparison articles and partner pages are what ChatGPT finds when it searches for the best option. A business that exists only on its own site is easy to miss.

  5. 05

    Keep your facts consistent

    The same name, address, prices and claims everywhere. Contradictions between your site and the rest of the web make a model hedge, or pick the competitor whose facts line up.

  6. 06

    Measure it regularly

    Visibility moves. Check again after every change, and watch the trend rather than one answer. Quaryan's paid plans do this before every monthly review and put the result in it, with what to change next.

The result

What the result tells you

The verdict is one sentence: how many of the three answers named you — ChatGPT named yoursite.com in 1 of 3 answers. Under it, one row per question: the question itself, whether you were named, whether your site was linked as a source, and the sentence ChatGPT used when it named you.

Where you were not named, the row lists the websites ChatGPT pointed to instead. That list is the useful part of a bad result: it is who your customers are being sent to, and what your pages are up against.

Above the rows, one line about your robots.txt: whether it lets ChatGPT's crawlers read your site. If it does not, that is the first thing to fix, before any of the rest.

FAQ

Questions about the ChatGPT visibility check

How do I check if ChatGPT mentions my website?
You can find out in about a minute with Quaryan's free ChatGPT visibility check, with no account needed. Paste your web address into the field at the top of this page. Quaryan asks ChatGPT three questions your customers would ask and tells you, for each answer, whether ChatGPT named your business, linked your website as a source, or recommended another website instead.

How does the ChatGPT visibility check work?
Quaryan reads your website and writes three questions a customer would type into ChatGPT — a request for a recommendation, a problem you solve, and a comparison — without naming you. It asks ChatGPT each question with web search on and checks every answer for your name and your web address. It also reads your robots.txt to see whether ChatGPT's crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User) are allowed to read your site.

Is the ChatGPT visibility checker free?
Yes. The check is free and needs no account. A site is checked once a week, and every visitor gets a handful of checks a day, which keeps it free for everybody. Quaryan's free plan asks once more, before your first AI review; the paid plans ask again before every monthly review, so you can see how your visibility on ChatGPT changes over time.

Why doesn't ChatGPT recommend my business?
Usually for one of three reasons. Your robots.txt blocks ChatGPT's crawlers, so it cannot read your site. Your pages do not say plainly what you offer, for whom and where, so the model has nothing to quote. Or other websites answer your customers' questions better and get cited instead of you. Quaryan's free plan tells you which of the three it is and what to change.

What is AI visibility, and what is GEO?
AI visibility is whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers name your business when people ask them for a recommendation. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of making that happen — like SEO, but for answers instead of links: clear facts on your site, pages that answer the questions your customers ask, and no blocked crawlers. Quaryan does that work for you.

Can I see which competitors ChatGPT recommends instead of me?
Yes. For every question ChatGPT answered without naming you, the check lists the websites it pointed to instead, so you can see who is in the conversation you are missing.

Is this the real ChatGPT?
The check asks OpenAI's model through its API with web search switched on — the model behind ChatGPT, not the ChatGPT app itself. Answers vary from one run to the next, which is why Quaryan's paid plans repeat the check before every monthly review and show the trend rather than a single answer.

Am I visible on ChatGPT?
Asking ChatGPT about your business by name will not tell you: when you name yourself, it usually finds you. What counts is whether it names you when a customer who does not know you asks — for the best option, for a fix to a problem, for a comparison. That is what the free check asks. Paste your web address at the top of this page, and in about a minute you see, for three such questions, whether ChatGPT named you, linked your site, or sent the customer to somebody else.

Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitors instead of me?
Because their pages answered the question and yours did not, or yours were never read. When ChatGPT searches, it cites the pages that say plainly what a business offers, for whom and where, and the businesses that reviews, directories and comparison articles mention. The check lists the websites ChatGPT pointed to instead of you; reading their pages next to yours usually shows the gap. The six steps above are how to close it.

How do I get my website to show up in ChatGPT?
There is no ranking to buy and no form to submit: ChatGPT names the websites it can read that answer the question asked. Let its crawlers in through your robots.txt, say plainly on your pages what you offer, for whom and where, write a page for each question your customers ask, and get mentioned on the sites ChatGPT searches — reviews, directories, comparisons. Some call this ChatGPT SEO; it is generative engine optimization (GEO), and Quaryan's free plan tells you which of these your site needs first.

Does the check work for online shops, local businesses and apps?
It works for any website: a shop, a local business, a service, a startup, a creator's page. The questions are written from what your site says, so a plumber's check asks what a plumber's customers ask. For a mobile app, enter the app's website; the App Store or Google Play listing itself is not read by this check, though Quaryan's plans cover the stores separately.

Does it cover Perplexity, Google AI Overviews or Claude?
This check asks ChatGPT only, because it is the assistant most people mean when they ask an AI for a recommendation. The work that gets you named in ChatGPT — readable pages, plain facts, answered questions, mentions elsewhere — is the same work the other assistants reward, so a good result here usually travels.

How often should I check?
After every change to your site, and otherwise about once a month. Answers vary from day to day, so the trend over several checks says more than any single one. Quaryan's paid plans ask again before every monthly review and keep the history; the free plan asks once, before its first review.

What happens with my web address?
It is used to run the check and kept with the result for a week, so the same site is not checked twice in that time. Your IP address is stored only as a salted hash, to count the day's free checks. The three questions sent to ChatGPT never contain your address or your name.
