AI Visibility Checker

Why AI visibility matters now

Search is splitting in two. Alongside the classic “ten blue links,” a fast-growing share of people now ask an AI assistant directly: “Who’s the best electrician in my area?” The assistant doesn’t show a list of ads — it names a few businesses and moves on. If you’re one of the names, you win the customer before your competitors even get a look. If you’re not, you’re invisible in a way that no amount of traditional SEO fixes.

This checker shows you, today, where you stand across the major assistants — so “are we visible to AI?” stops being a guess.

What AI assistants look at

To recommend a local business, assistants draw on the same signals that shape your online reputation: the volume and recency of your reviews, your average rating, how consistently your name, address and category appear across the web, and what customers actually say about you. A business with lots of recent, positive reviews and clean, consistent listings is far more likely to be the one an AI names.

How to improve your AI visibility

The fastest lever is your review profile. Tailwind helps you get your business recommended by AI by building the review signal these models trust, and automates review collection so your profile keeps getting stronger. Start by growing your rating and review count, then help assistants understand your site with an llms.txt file. Re-run this checker in a few weeks to watch your score climb.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI visibility?

AI visibility is whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude mention and recommend your business when someone asks them for the best option in your area. As more people ask AI instead of searching, this is becoming as important as ranking on Google.

How does the checker work?

We ask several leading AI assistants, in real time, whether they would recommend your business for a typical local query, and whether it appears in their top picks. Your score is the share of assistants that recommended you.

Why do results change if I run it again?

AI answers are non-deterministic and personalised — the same question can get slightly different answers, and models update constantly. Treat the score as a directional snapshot and watch the trend over time, not a single number.

How do I get recommended by AI?

AI assistants lean heavily on reviews, ratings and consistent business information across the web. The most reliable way to improve is to build a strong, recent review profile and keep your listings accurate — exactly what Tailwind helps with.
