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 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; a Quaryan plan repeats it every Monday and shows the line over weeks, which is the number worth watching.

What to do

How to get ChatGPT to mention your business

Marketers call this 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 weekly

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

Check which AI crawlers your robots.txt lets in

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

Does ChatGPT mention my website?
You can find out in about a minute with Quaryan's free ChatGPT visibility check. 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. A Quaryan plan repeats the check every Monday and shows 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 a Quaryan plan repeats the check every week and shows the trend rather than a single answer.

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 weekly. Answers vary from day to day, so the trend over several weeks says more than any single check. Quaryan's plans run the check every Monday and keep the history.

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.
