AI search visibility tracking: when customers ask ChatGPT, do you come up?

AI search visibility in RankLocker is a monthly sample of real customer questions asked to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. It shows which answers named your business unprompted, which linked to you, what the assistants actually said and which competitors they named instead, with the trend. It also checks whether your pages are ready to be quoted, and counts visits from AI assistants.

The problem

Sound familiar?

Who does ChatGPT recommend when a customer asks for your trade?

Customers now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews for a good contractor near them, and they get a short answer that names a few businesses. If yours isn't one of them, there's no second page to scroll to. And very few agencies report on this at all, so most owners have no idea what the assistants are saying.

So you're left guessing. You hear that AI is changing search, and you can't tell if it's helping you or handing your calls to the shop down the road. You can't fix what nobody measures, and you can't ask your agency about a number they never send you. You just wonder why some weeks go quiet.

Where it costs you today:

an AI assistant naming a competitor when a customer asks for your trade

blocked AI crawlers or no llms.txt file keeping assistants from reading your site

visits from ChatGPT and Perplexity lumped in with the rest of your traffic

What does AI search visibility tracking in RankLocker do?

Real questions, asked every month

Each month RankLocker asks real customer questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. It's presented honestly as a sample of answers, never as a ranking.

Named, linked or left out

See which answers named your business without being prompted, which linked to your website, and what the assistants actually said about you, all in the monthly report.

Who the AI names instead

When an assistant leaves you out, the report shows which competitors it named instead, along with the trend, so you know exactly who you're up against.

Pages ready to be quoted

AI answer readiness scores how ready each page on your site is to be quoted by ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity, as part of the site audit.

llms.txt and AI crawler checks

The site health check looks for blocked AI crawlers and a missing llms.txt file. On WordPress, one click generates an llms.txt file for AI assistants.

Visits from AI assistants, counted

Google Analytics shows visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Claude separately, with an honest note that Google's AI Overviews count as organic traffic.

With RankLocker

What changes

What changes when you know what the AI says about you?

The report's AI section shows the questions asked this month, and which answers named you, linked to you, or named someone else.

You read what ChatGPT actually said about your business, and see the competitor it named instead of you on one of the questions.

The audit shows which of your pages are ready to be quoted, and your site has an llms.txt file for AI assistants, made in one click.

Visits from ChatGPT and Perplexity show up as their own lines in your traffic, and the AI section's trend shows how this month compares.

If nothing changes

If you don't know what AI assistants say about you, you can't change it. Customers keep hearing a competitor's name, and you keep finding out last, if you find out at all.

FAQ

Straight answers

Questions about ai search visibility.

Is this an AI ranking?

No. It's a monthly sample of real customer questions asked to five AI assistants, and it's labelled that way in the report. AI answers can change from one ask to the next, so RankLocker shows the actual answers and the trend instead of pretending there's a rank.

Which AI assistants does it check?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews, every month. Separately, Google Analytics counts visits to your site from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Claude.

Can you get ChatGPT to recommend me?

No one can promise that, and we don't. RankLocker shows where you stand, checks whether your pages are ready to be quoted, and fixes what it can on your site, like a missing llms.txt file or a robots.txt problem.

What is an llms.txt file?

It's a plain text file on your website that points AI assistants to your most important content. RankLocker checks whether you have one and, on WordPress sites with the RankLocker Connector, generates it in one click.

Does my agency report this already?

Probably not. Very few agencies report AI search at all. In RankLocker it's a section of the monthly report, right beside your Google rankings, the map pack and where your leads came from.

What does RankLocker cost?

Solopreneur is $297 a month for one business. Serialpreneur is $497 a month for up to five businesses. Agency is $995 a month for unlimited businesses. AI and data usage is billed separately, by what you use. Start online, or book a demo first.
