Your AI visibility report — clear, honest, and actionable

AIMention analyzes your website and tells you exactly how visible you are to AI platforms, what is missing, and what to do about it — without any technical jargon.

1

We analyze your website

We scan your site for the specific signals AI platforms use to identify, understand, and recommend local businesses — things like structured information, location clarity, and trust markers.

2

You get a visibility score

Your business receives a score from 0 to 100 across six dimensions, with a clear grade and an honest explanation of where you stand today across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude.

3

We tell you exactly what to fix

Your report includes a prioritized action checklist written for business owners — not developers. Every recommendation is based only on what we actually found missing from your site.

Six dimensions. One honest score. No guesswork.

Every report breaks down your AI visibility across six dimensions, explains what each score means in plain English, and gives you a prioritized list of fixes specific to your business.

Your website has significant AI visibility gaps
Based on our analysis of your website, your business is missing most of the structured signals that AI platforms use to identify and recommend local businesses. This makes it unlikely that AI tools will surface you in relevant local searches. The improvements below outline the highest-priority fixes.
Your Score, Explained
Tap any card to read the full explanation. Written in plain English — no tech jargon.
35
Structured Content Needs Work
The website lists services but does not explain them. AI needs depth — questions answered, processes described, details provided.
50
Factual Clarity Fair
Service areas and contact info are present. But AI wants specifics: pricing, timelines, what to expect.
20
Structured Data Markup Critical Gap
Structured data is invisible code that tells AI exactly what your business is. This site is missing it entirely.
42
Authority and Trust Needs Work
No owner name, no license numbers, no credentials visible. AI strongly prefers recommending businesses with verifiable identity.
28
Citations and References Needs Work
No blog, no external links, no references to industry bodies. AI trusts businesses that cite credible sources.
62
Local Relevance Fair
Primary service area is mentioned but not reinforced consistently across the page.

Your customers are asking AI — and you might not be in the answer

More people are turning to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI to find local businesses. If your business is not showing up in those answers, you are losing customers without even knowing it.

AI platforms generated 1.13 billion referral visits in a single month in 2025 — a 357% increase from the same period the year before. ChatGPT alone now has over 900 million weekly active users globally, and AI search traffic is growing at over 130% year over year.

AI does not work like Google

Ranking on Google Search does not guarantee you will show up when someone asks an AI. These are completely different systems with different signals.

This is happening right now

AI-powered search is already how millions of people find local services. Businesses that act now will have a significant head start over competitors who wait.

📋

Most businesses have no idea

There is no alert when AI stops recommending you. The customers just go elsewhere — silently. You would never know it was happening.

AI search is already changing how customers find local businesses. Most won’t find out until it’s too late.

Traditional IT support is focused on security, hardware, and software — AI search visibility is not on their radar. But customers are already using ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI to find local businesses right now. By the time most business owners hear about this from an IT rep, their competitors will already have a head start.

AIMention gives you a clear score across every major AI platform, so you know exactly where you stand before your competitors figure out this is even a problem.

SEO helps you rank in search.
AIMention helps you get recommended by AI.

These are two different problems. A business can rank number one on Google and still be completely invisible to AI platforms — because AI uses different signals to decide who to recommend.
