The AI visibility self-test
Is your business data marked up on your website with Schema.org (JSON-LD)?
Structured data tells machines clearly who you are: name, address, services, contact. It is the basis of your entity.
Are name, address and phone number identical everywhere: website, Google profile and directories?
Contradictory details confuse search systems. AI answers draw on several sources, and they must all say the same thing.
Do you have a fully maintained and verified Google Business Profile?
The profile is one of the most used sources for business details at Google and for local queries.
Do you regularly get new Google reviews and do you reply to them?
Reviews are a visible trust signal. Recent reviews show that your business is active.
Are you listed in the important industry and business directories?
External sources confirm what is on your website. The more reliable sources say the same thing, the more certain the statement.
Is there an llms.txt in the root directory of your website?
The llms.txt summarizes the most important pages for AI crawlers. That specific systems use it is not proven. That is why it has the lowest priority.
Do your pages say right at the start, in clear, backed-up sentences, who you are and what you offer?
AI systems quote sentences that stand on their own and are specific: with numbers, place and source instead of filler.
Do your service pages answer real customer questions in question-and-answer form?
Questions and answers match the way people use AI systems. With FAQPage markup, they are also machine-readable.
Do your articles name a responsible person with qualifications?
Author details with experience and proof are a trust signal for readers and for search systems (E-E-A-T).
Do your most important pages show a last-updated date, and did you review them in the past year?
Outdated details lead to wrong answers. A visible last-updated date shows that the facts are maintained.
Can search engines and AI crawlers read your content, without a login and without robots.txt blocking them?
What a crawler may not read, an AI system cannot use. Important content needs plain HTML, no login wall.
In the past six months, did you check what ChatGPT, Gemini and Google say about your business?
Only those who check see wrong or missing details. Ask the same questions a customer asks and compare the answers with your facts.

How the test scores
Each Yes counts one point. No and I don’t know count no point. The score is between 0 and 12. The rating is an orientation, not an industry value.
- 0 to 4 points: plenty of room to improve
- 5 to 8 points: the basis is there, with gaps
- 9 to 12 points: a good foundation
The test picks the three most important actions from the points you do not meet. Questions with high priority come first: structured data, consistent details, Google profile, fact block and access for crawlers. With equal priority, the order of the questions applies.
Why these twelve points
AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews rely on public sources: your website, your Google profile, directories and reviews. The questions check whether these sources exist, are consistent, backed up and readable. More on the AI visibility and GEO page.
Assumptions and limits
No test can guarantee that an AI system names you. The points are prerequisites, not promises. How a system answers is up to the system, and it changes. On llms.txt: that a specific system uses it is not proven. That is why it has the lowest priority.
The test only checks what you enter, not your website. The result is an orientation and does not replace individual advice.
Orientation only, not a substitute for individual advice. Results are calculation and assessment aids, not a promise.
Frequently asked questions
How do I become visible in ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews?
There is no switch for it. The systems use public sources like your website, your Google profile, directories and reviews. The more consistent, backed up and readable your details are, the more likely the systems describe you correctly. There is no guarantee.
What is GEO?
GEO stands for generative engine optimization. It means describing and backing up your business so that AI systems reproduce it correctly. GEO complements SEO, it does not replace it. More on the GEO agency page.
Do I need an llms.txt?
An llms.txt summarizes the most important pages of your website for AI crawlers. That specific systems use it is not proven. It is quick to create and does no harm, but it ranks behind schema, consistent details and the Google profile.
What is a Grounding Page?
A Grounding Page is a separate subpage that gives AI systems verified facts about your business: who you are, what you offer, where and since when. More on the Grounding Page page.
Does the test store my answers?
No. The test runs in your browser. Your answers are neither stored nor sent. We only measure that the test is used, never your answers.
