Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

AI Visibility Check Tools (1)

check_ai_visibility

Check whether a business is visible to AI answer engines. Runs each query through a live AI search (Perplexity) and reports whether the business's site is cited, at what rank, and who gets cited instead. Pass 1-5 realistic customer-intent questions — what a potential customer would actually ask an AI (e.g. "best kitchen remodeler in Clearwater FL"). Never include the business's own name in a query. Returns a 0-100 visibility score, a tier, per-query results, the competing sources AI cited, and a shareable branded scorecard link.
