AI Visibility Checker • GEO / LLM SEO

AI Visibility Checker for SaaS

Find out whether AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI recommend your product – or send buyers to your competitors instead.

Spotaq runs controlled prompts against multiple AI engines, measures mention rate, sentiment, source citations, and competitor recommendations, and turns them into a single SpotAQ score (0–100).

AI is already recommending your competitors

When a buyer asks "Which AI visibility tools should I use?", AI models don't look at your ad spend or your SEO ranking – they look at which brands they recognize, trust, and have sources for. If your brand isn't in that short list, traffic silently flows to competitors.

  • AI "shortlists" 3–7 tools per query – not 300 search results.
  • Tools with more third-party citations and clearer positioning are more likely to be recommended.
  • You can be visible in Google but still invisible in AI answers.

What you get from the AI visibility check

SpotAQ Score (0–100)

A single score that combines AI mention rate, sentiment, source quality, and Google grounding into an easy-to-share metric for founders and marketing teams.

Competitors AI recommends instead of you

A list of competitors that AI suggests when it doesn't recommend you – the tools that are quietly stealing your traffic in AI answers.

Source citations and grounding

Which domains AI uses as sources (official site vs third-party), and whether your official domain is cited in grounded answers.

Actionable plan to fix AI invisibility

A prioritized list of steps: content, comparisons, Schema.org markup, and authority-building actions to move your score from "invisible" to "recommended".

Use it as an AI SEO checker, Perplexity SEO tool, and ChatGPT brand visibility audit

Under the hood, the SpotAQ AI visibility checker already behaves like an AI SEO checker: it looks at how AI assistants answer category-level queries and which tools they shortlist.

Perplexity SEO tool

We query Perplexity and analyze which brands and domains it cites. You can treat Spotaq as your Perplexity SEO tool to track whether Perplexity recommends you or your competitors in your space.

ChatGPT brand visibility

We translate ChatGPT's answers into a concrete ChatGPT brand visibility score: how often you show up, how you're described, and which bigger brands are getting the recommendation instead.

AI visibility + SEO together

Traditional SEO work (content, links, technical fixes) feeds the raw material AI can ground itself in. SpotAQ sits on top as an AI SEO checker — verifying whether that work is actually reflected in AI answers, not just search rankings.

How the AI visibility check works

Step 1

Run controlled AI queries

We ask AI engines category-level questions (e.g. "best AI visibility tools for SaaS") using a fixed prompt set to reduce randomness.

Step 2

Extract mentions, sources, and sentiment

We detect whether your brand is mentioned, how it's described, which sources are cited, and which competitors are recommended instead.

Step 3

Score and generate recommendations

We compute the SpotAQ score and translate issues (missing citations, negative sentiment, weak positioning) into a concrete action plan.

Built for founders, marketers, and agencies

SaaS founders

Quickly see if AI knows your product and which bigger brands it prefers, so you can fix positioning and content before scaling spend.

Marketing teams

Turn vague "AI SEO" discussions into a concrete score, competitor list, and backlog of content/Schema tasks.

Agencies & consultants

Use SpotAQ as an audit & reporting layer to win retainers and show progress on AI visibility over time.

Transparent methodology, not a black box

The SpotAQ score is computed from four main signals:

  1. Mention rate – how often AI models mention your brand when asked about your category.
  2. Sentiment – whether AI talks about you in a positive, neutral, or negative way.
  3. Source quality – whether AI cites your official site or only third-party sources.
  4. Google grounding – whether you show up in grounded results and at what position.

You can read the full details in our methodology page, including limitations and how we plan to evolve the score over time.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from traditional SEO tools?

Traditional SEO tools focus on how you rank in search results. SpotAQ focuses on how AI models answer questions and which tools they recommend. It's closer to "LLM SEO" or "GEO" (Generative Engine Optimization) – measuring answers, not just blue links.

Will running a check change how AI sees my brand?

No. The check itself is read-only. What changes AI behaviour is the follow-up work: improving your content, Schema.org markup, and third-party citations using the action plan from the report.

Do you keep my results private?

Yes. We don't publish individual customer reports without explicit permission. Aggregated, anonymized data may be used to improve the product.
