VisiScan
A tool that checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini actually mention your business when people ask AI for recommendations, and tells you how to fix it if they don't.

Description
Search is changing: more people are asking ChatGPT or Perplexity "who's the best plumber near me" instead of typing it into Google. If an AI assistant never mentions your business in that answer, you're invisible to a growing slice of potential customers — and you'd have no way of knowing it, because there's no "AI Search Console" to check. VisiScan exists to close that blind spot: it asks the major AI engines a batch of realistic buyer-intent questions on your behalf and reports back whether — and how — you show up, and who's showing up instead of you.
Under the hood, it runs 5-12 tailored questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, samples multiple runs (since AI answers aren't perfectly deterministic), and produces an AI Visibility Score alongside an AI Readiness grade (L1-L5). It shows exactly which competitors get mentioned instead of you, with quoted evidence from the actual AI responses, and hands you concrete fixes — ready-to-publish schema markup and an llms.txt file — rather than vague advice. A free scan gets you the headline score; the $49 one-time Full Report unpacks the detail, and $29/month Monitor tracks changes over time with competitor alerts.
💬 Our review
The short version: VisiScan answers a genuinely new question — "does AI recommend me?" — that traditional SEO tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush) weren't built to answer, and its pricing (a free scan, then a modest one-time report) is low-risk enough to just try.
This whole "AI visibility" / GEO (generative-engine optimization) category is brand new and moving fast, so the honest caveat is that best practices are still being invented — nobody, including VisiScan, has years of proven track record showing that fixing your llms.txt file measurably increases AI mentions. That said, the mechanics are sound: sampling real AI answers across four engines and quoting the actual text is a defensible way to measure something that's otherwise invisible, and it beats guessing. Compared to general SEO suites, VisiScan is narrower but sharper on this one question. Worth trying the free scan if you depend on local or service-based discovery; skip the paid tiers if your business model doesn't hinge on being found via conversational search yet.
