Free Quick Scan
Free ChatGPT visibility checker
Check whether ChatGPT names your business in 6 buyer questions; the free Quick Scan also asks the same questions on Perplexity.
Searching for your business by name answers a different question from asking for someone who can do your work. If a buyer does not know you yet, a category question is a better starting point.

Step 1 of 2What did ChatGPT name in our study?
On Oct 12, 2026, ChatGPT named a business in 43 of 54 answers across accounting firms, law firms and dental practices in Austin, Columbus and Denver. Six questions per industry and city were asked once through its API, with web search. The system prompt encouraged recommendations by name. This sample tests prompted recommendations in those industries; it is not a forecast for your business. Read the study and method.
Why a ChatGPT mention and a citation are different
ChatGPT can search the web when a question needs current information. Responses that use search may include links to sources. OpenAI's search help explains how to open them.
Read the answer and its sources separately. Your business might appear in a list while another website supports the list. Your website might be a source for advice without your business appearing among the options.
For this check, “named” means your business is mentioned in the answer. “Cited” means your website is linked as a source. A mention is not necessarily a recommendation. The free result measures names, not a full citation breakdown.
The 6 questions we ask
Your website and business name identify what to look for. Your business type and place shape the questions. We ask each once through ChatGPT's API with web search, and once through Perplexity's API: 12 answers requested, 6 per assistant.
- What is the best [business type] in [place]?
- Which [business type] would you recommend in [place]?
- What are the top-rated [business type] options in [place]?
- How do I choose a [business type] in [place]?
- What should I look for when hiring a [business type] in [place], and who is worth contacting?
- What do people usually ask before they hire a [business type] in [place]?
These are buyer questions, not a request to explain your own website. A clear place matters: a local service and a business serving a whole country may need different context.
Read the ChatGPT part of your result
The live free result shows other businesses named in the answers, then whether your business was named, broken out by assistant. It can show one question that left you out and records the scan date, location and returned answers.
Sample format, with no invented findings
| Field | Example field label |
|---|---|
| Business checked | Your business |
| ChatGPT | Named answers / returned answers; failed answers shown separately |
| Perplexity | A separate count for the same question set |
| Other businesses | Other business A / B / C, with counts if present |
| Example question | A buyer question as asked; Named / Not named / No answer for each assistant |
| Method | Date, place, questions and answers used |
The other-business summary combines the scan's answers. It is not a ChatGPT-only ranking.
Limits of a ChatGPT check
One run is one sample. Different wording or a later run may return different businesses. Our API calls do not use your ChatGPT login, memory or conversation history, so your app can answer differently. The scan offers no ranking, score or future-mention promise.
Questions about checking ChatGPT
Is the ChatGPT visibility checker free?
Yes. The free Quick Scan checks ChatGPT and Perplexity without a payment card.
Do I need to connect my ChatGPT account?
No. We never need your password or chat history. We ask the questions through APIs.
How long until I see the result?
If your scan starts immediately, the result usually appears on the scan page in a minute or two. We also email a copy. If your request is queued or needs review, your report arrives by email within 1 business day. The minute-or-two estimate is not a deadline.
Why does my ChatGPT app show something different?
The app and API can use different context and settings. Wording and timing matter too. Treat them as separate observations.
Does a source link mean ChatGPT recommended me?
No. A source link is a citation. Read the answer to see whether it actually names your business as an option.
Why doesn't ChatGPT recommend my business?
An omitted name does not explain the cause. Check the question, service and location first, then whether your public information answers that buyer's need clearly.
