The short answer

Only if the pages it reads for your buyer’s question present your business as the answer. ChatGPT can read your site, even link to it, and still name someone else. The only way to know is to ask the questions your buyers ask, several times on each AI tool, and count who gets named.

How AI assistants pick who to name

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini for a recommendation, the answer is built from what the tool reads for that question. Mostly that is other people’s pages: “best of” lists, directories and marketplaces, Reddit threads, and competitors’ own guides. If those pages put a business forward as the answer, the AI tends to repeat it. If they never mention you, neither will the AI.

In our study of 300 answers to questions buyers actually type, the single most-cited site for three of the four Dallas trades was a directory or review site. Your market will have its own mix, which is why the check lists the sites the AI reads for your questions.

Linked is not the same as named

There are two different facts here, and most tools blur them. Named means your business name is in the words of the answer. Linked means your site is one of the sources the answer shows. You can be linked and still not be named.

It is common. A business’s own page gets used for background while the answer recommends whoever the lists and directories put forward. The check shows both numbers, per tool, so you can see whether you are being read, recommended, or neither.

What the report shows

One report, read by Matt before it is sent. Five parts:

  1. 01The headline. For each AI tool, how many of your questions it named you on, and how many it linked your site on. The two are never added together.
  2. 02Who it names instead. The businesses each tool recommends for your questions, and how often.
  3. 03Question by question. Every question, every tool, three runs: named or not, linked or not, and any answer that states a wrong fact about you.
  4. 04Where the answers come from. The sites the answers cited most for your questions: the lists, directories and threads to get onto.
  5. 05The three fixes. The three changes worth the most, picked from the pages the AI actually read.

How we score it

  • Questions. 12 to 15 questions your buyers actually type, written without your business name or any hint about you. You can add your own.
  • Engines. Every question goes to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. The report names the model versions used (ours: gpt-4o, gemini-2.5-flash and sonar).
  • Three runs. Each question is asked 3 times on each engine, because answers change from one run to the next. With 15 questions that is 15 x 3 engines x 3 runs = 135 answers.
  • Majority vote. A question counts as named only when at least half of its completed runs name you, which is 2 of 3 when all three complete. One lucky answer is not a win.
  • Named means the answer text. Your business name has to be in the words of the answer. A link to your site, including the small source links some tools print inside the text, does not count as named.
  • Links are counted separately. Linked as a source uses the same majority rule, and the two numbers are never added together.
  • Web search is only a comparison. A plain Brave Search top 10 is shown for context and is not part of the AI numbers.
  • Nothing is guessed. If an engine fails to answer, that cell says not measured, never 0. Every number in the report points back to the stored answers behind it, and results older than 7 days are re-run before the report is sent.

Why the majority rule matters: a tool can name a business once on a question and skip it on the next two runs. A single screenshot of that one answer would say the tool recommends it. Three runs say it does not, yet.

FAQ

Straight answers

Can I check whether ChatGPT recommends my business for free?
Yes. Write down the questions your buyers actually type, not your business name. Ask each one in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini three times, and note whether your name is in the answer and whether your site is one of the links. Our free AI visibility check runs a quick version of this for you.
Why does ChatGPT link to my site but not name me?
Because being read and being recommended are different things. ChatGPT can pull your page in as a source for background and still name the businesses that the lists, directories and threads it reads put forward. The check counts the two separately, so you can see which one you have.
What does the AI Answer Check cost and what do I get?
It is $99 (intro price through Saturday, October 10; regular $299). You get one report showing whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini name your business across 12 to 15 of your buyers’ questions, who they name instead, which sites they read, any answer that states a wrong fact about you (like a price or a service you don’t offer), and the three fixes worth the most. You order and pay online in about two minutes, no call needed (or book it with a 20-minute kickoff call with Matt if you prefer), and what you paid for it comes off your first month of Get Users (the Proving rate) if you join within 14 days.
How long does it take?
Within 3 business days (Monday to Friday) of your completed order (or of your kickoff call, if you book one). The order form gives us what we need, so the clock starts when you pay. If the report is late, you get what you paid back in full and you still get the report. Matt reads every report before it goes out. Nothing is sent to you automatically.
What if the report isn’t useful?
Tell Matt within 7 days of getting it, one email is enough, and he refunds what you paid in full. No reason needed, and you keep the report. The refund goes back to the card you paid with.
What do you need from me?
You answer these on the order form before you pay: your trade, your business name, your website, your city or region, three to five questions your customers ask AI (we prefill common ones for your trade), your top competitors if you know them, and the email for the report. We add more questions of our own, 12 to 15 in total, and you see the full list in the report.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me after the fixes?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. No one can promise what an AI tool will say. What I do promise is the report itself: on time, or it’s free, and a full refund within 7 days if it isn’t useful. What can be measured is who AI names today, and whether that changes after you act. That is why the check can be re-run on the same questions later.
