AI Visibility Checker.
See Who AI Recommends
In Your Market
Discover which businesses AI cites, recommends, and trusts when answering customer questions in your category. AskZenna’s AI Visibility Checker collects the actual responses and shows you what came back.
What Is an AI Visibility Checker?
Most businesses have never seen what AI says about them. Not because it’s hard to find out. Because until now, there wasn’t a tool built to check it.
An AI visibility checker runs targeted questions through AI systems and records exactly what comes back. Which businesses get named. Which websites get cited. Which competitors appear in recommendation answers before your business does, or instead of it entirely.
It’s not SEO. It’s not review monitoring. It’s a different category with a different question at the center: when someone asks AI to recommend a business like yours, what does it say?
AskZenna calls this broader process AI visibility intelligence — the practice of measuring how AI systems describe, compare, recommend, and cite businesses inside real answers. The AI visibility checker is the tool that makes those responses visible and measurable.
Everything in the scan comes from observed responses. No estimates. No projections. What AI said is what the report shows.
People Are Asking AI. Most Businesses Have No Idea What It Said.
Ask your customers how they found you lately. More often than you’d expect, the answer involves AI. Someone asked ChatGPT which service to use. Someone asked Perplexity to compare providers in their area. Someone got a recommendation list and picked from it.
That’s a real channel. It’s active right now. And for most businesses, it’s completely invisible.
You can track rankings. You can track traffic, leads, ad performance, reviews. What you probably can’t track is whether AI systems are naming your competitors instead of you every time someone asks for a recommendation in your category.
That’s not a hypothetical concern. Take the scan above. Bravery Studios appeared in 14 out of 15 questions about recording studios in Edgewater, NJ. One competitor. 14 of 15 answers. That kind of concentration is common. And most businesses in that market have no idea it’s happening.
The question isn’t whether AI is recommending businesses in your category. It almost certainly is. The question is who’s showing up.
What the AskZenna AI Visibility Checker Shows
The scan collects real AI responses and pulls specific data from them. Here’s what’s in every report.
Getting Named Is Not the Same As Getting Your Website Cited
It’s a distinction most people haven’t thought about. AI can recommend your business by name without ever linking to or citing your website. Those are two different kinds of visibility. The report separates them.
What’s in the AI Visibility Report
The report isn’t a score or a grade. It’s a structured view of what AI systems said about your market during the scan period. Concrete counts. Actual responses. No interpretive layer between you and the data.

AI Visibility Checker vs Traditional SEO Tools
A rank tracker tells you where your website shows up in Google. It’s a good tool for what it measures.
It doesn’t measure what AI systems say when someone skips Google and asks a chatbot for a recommendation instead. That’s a different question and it needs a different tool.
AskZenna isn’t a replacement for SEO tools. It’s what you use when you want to see the channel your current tools can’t see.
| Dimension | Traditional SEO Tool | AskZenna AI Visibility Checker |
|---|---|---|
| Channel | Search engine results pages | AI-generated recommendation responses |
| Data source | Crawl data, keyword data, link data | Observed AI responses collected during the scan |
| Output | Rankings, keyword positions, backlink counts | Business mentions, competitor appearances, domain citations |
| Competitor view | Keyword overlap and ranking gaps | Which competitors AI recommended and how often |
| Scoring | Traffic estimates, difficulty scores, DA | Direct response counts. No estimates. No scores. |
| What it can’t show | What AI says when someone asks for a business recommendation | Google rankings, organic traffic, keyword positions |
Both tools answer valid questions. They just answer different ones.
Any Market Where AI Generates Recommendations
If people in your category are asking AI which business to hire or which product to buy, AskZenna can run an AI visibility audit on the responses that were observed.
If people ask AI for a recommendation in your category, there’s something to check.
Based on Responses. Not Estimates.
Every metric in an AskZenna AI visibility report comes directly from responses collected during the scan. There’s no modeling layer on top. No algorithm that infers what AI probably thinks. The data is what came back.
Observed Signals show direct counts from those responses. If a business appeared in seven answers, the report says seven. If it didn’t appear at all, the report says that instead. Movement data, when it appears, only shows up after two matching scans exist for the same market.
No projected visibility scores. No simulated results. No estimates.
AI answers change over time and vary based on how questions are phrased and which system answers them. Every scan is a point-in-time view of observed responses. That’s a feature, not a limitation. You’re looking at what AI actually said, not what a model predicts it might say.
Why I Built This
I wanted to know whether AI systems were recommending my businesses or someone else’s.
I could see Google rankings. I could see traffic. I could see leads coming in. But I had no idea what AI was saying when someone asked a chatbot for a recommendation in my market. No tool showed me that.
AskZenna started as a way to answer that question. It’s now an AI visibility tool that businesses and agencies use to understand how AI systems describe, recommend, and cite businesses inside the answers they generate.
The reports don’t tell you what to do. They tell you what’s happening. That’s the part that was missing.

Common Questions
An AI visibility checker runs targeted questions through AI systems and records what comes back. Which businesses were named. Which websites were cited. How often competitors appeared in recommendation answers.
AskZenna collects those observed responses and delivers a structured report showing what the scan found. No estimates. No modeling. What AI said is what the report reflects.
SEO tools measure keyword rankings, organic traffic, backlinks, and performance in search engine results pages. AskZenna measures AI-generated recommendation mentions, competitor appearances, and domain citations inside observed AI answers.
They’re not substitutes for each other. They measure different channels. If someone skips Google and asks an AI chatbot for a business recommendation, a rank tracker won’t capture that. This does.
That’s exactly what the scan shows. AskZenna doesn’t speculate about why a competitor appeared more often. What it does show you is the count: how many times they came up, which prompts triggered their name, and how that compares to your own numbers.
Understanding the gap is the first step. You can’t address something you haven’t measured.
No. AskZenna doesn’t control what AI systems say and can’t guarantee any specific outcome in AI-generated responses. The tool shows you what AI said based on collected responses during the scan period.
What you do with that information is your call. The point is to know what’s happening, not to be promised a result that no one can actually deliver.
The AI visibility report includes: whether your business appeared in collected responses and how often, which competitors were named and their mention counts, which websites AI cited, a prompt-by-prompt breakdown of results, domain citation counts tracked separately from business name mentions, full word-for-word AI responses, and observed patterns across the scan.
Movement data appears when multiple matching scans exist for the same market. Everything else is included in the first scan.
AskZenna can’t place your business into AI answers. No tool can reliably promise that.
What AskZenna can do is show you where you currently stand based on observed responses: how often your business appeared, which competitors came up more often, which prompts triggered mentions, and which websites AI cited. That’s the data you’d need before deciding on any strategy related to AI recommendation visibility.
Scan coverage varies and the details for a given scan are shared when you request one. The focus is on collecting real AI-generated recommendation responses, not simulating or estimating what AI might say.
Yes. Agencies use AskZenna to run AI visibility audits for client markets, benchmark how clients appear against competitors inside AI-generated answers, and add AI recommendation analysis to their reporting stack.
If you’re running scans across multiple clients, reach out directly when you request a scan and mention that context.
The AI visibility checker runs against real responses from your market. You’ll see exactly what came back.
