What’s your AI visibility readiness score?

Before you find out whether ChatGPT or Perplexity actually name your business, it helps to know how ready you are to be recommended at all. This free check scores the handful of things that decide it — no account, no waiting, and nothing you answer leaves your browser.

Answer five quick questions and you’ll get an instant 0–100 score and a fix list ordered by impact — the biggest lever first. These are the same honest fixes that also win you Google and your Google Business Profile. When you’re ready for the real measurement, run the free audit at the bottom.

Is your Google Business Profile claimed and fully complete — correct categories, service area, hours, and photos?

AI assistants lean heavily on Google Business data to answer local questions. A complete, active profile is the single strongest signal that you exist, are legitimate, and do what the homeowner is asking about.

Fix: Claim your Google Business Profile and fill in every field — primary and secondary categories, the exact service area you cover, hours, and real photos. This one fix moves both AI mentions and the Google map pack.
Do you have a steady, recent flow of customer reviews (not just a handful from years ago)?

Review volume and recency are strong trust signals. Assistants surface businesses that look actively vouched-for, and a stale review count reads as a business that may no longer be operating.

Fix: Ask every satisfied customer for a review and keep the flow steady month over month. Recency matters as much as the total — a business earning reviews this month outranks one that stopped two years ago.
Is your name, address, and phone number listed consistently across the major directories and review sites?

Answer engines corroborate a business across the directories and review sites they cite before naming it. Inconsistent name/address/phone (NAP) across those sources reads as uncertainty and holds you back.

Fix: Get listed on the directories AI actually reads, and make your name, address, and phone identical everywhere. Fix or merge stale and duplicate listings so every source agrees.
Does your website clearly state, in plain language, each service you offer and each city or area you cover?

A vague one-page site is nearly invisible to both crawlers and AI. Assistants need to read exactly what you do and where before they can match you to a homeowner’s question.

Fix: Publish one clear page per service and per area you cover, written in plain language a person (and a crawler) can understand — not marketing filler. Say the service and the place explicitly.
Does your site have LocalBusiness structured data and an FAQ that answers the real questions homeowners ask?

Schema.org markup helps engines parse your name, area, and reviews correctly, and an on-site FAQ gives them quotable, citable text — often the exact sentence an assistant surfaces in its answer.

Fix: Add LocalBusiness structured data for your name, address, phone, service area, and reviews, and publish an FAQ that answers the questions homeowners actually ask. Both are cheap and help classic search too.

What your score means

Likely invisible to AI (0+). The signals assistants rely on are mostly missing, so AI probably can’t recommend you yet. The good news: these are the highest-leverage fixes and you can start today.
On the radar, but beatable (40+). You’ve done some of the groundwork, but competitors who’ve done more will be named ahead of you. Closing the gaps below is what tips an assistant toward your name.
Competitive (65+). You’re well positioned — most of the signals are in place. Tighten the remaining gaps and run a real audit to see whether assistants are actually naming you.
Well positioned to be recommended (85+). You’ve done nearly everything that makes a business recommendable. Keep the reviews and listings fresh, and run an audit to confirm where you stand against local competitors.

Frequently asked questions

How is the readiness score calculated?

You answer five yes/somewhat/no questions about the things that actually determine whether AI assistants can recommend a local business — your Google Business Profile, review flow, directory citations, service pages, and structured data. Each is weighted by how much it moves the needle (your Google Business Profile carries the most) and the answers add up to a 0–100 score. The whole calculation runs in your browser.

Does a high score guarantee that AI will recommend me?

No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. The score measures how well you’ve done the things that make a business recommendable — it can’t see what ChatGPT or Perplexity actually say about you. AI answers are sampled and non-deterministic. To find out whether you’re really being named, run the free audit, which asks the assistants the exact questions your customers do.

Do you store my answers?

No. The readiness quiz is computed entirely in your browser — nothing you answer is sent to us. We only know a visitor started the check, never what they answered. If you then request the full audit, you give us your business name, city, and email so we can send the report — that’s the only data we collect.

How is this different from the free audit?

The readiness score is an instant self-assessment: you tell us what you’ve done, and we score it and hand back a prioritized fix list — no waiting, no account. The audit is the real measurement: we run your buying-intent questions across official AI APIs and report whether assistants actually cite, mention, or omit you versus competitors. Start with the score to know what to fix; run the audit to see where you stand.
