Free Tool — No sign-up, no server calls
Is your business showing up when people ask AI for a recommendation?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are answering "who should I hire for X near me?" right now — without you in the room. This worksheet walks you through checking it yourself and turns what you find into a shareable receipt.
Step 1
Tell us who we're checking
Step 2
Ask each AI these questions
Copy each question, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity (four separate chats), and read what comes back. Then move to Step 3 below.
Step 3
Paste what each AI said
For each platform: check the box if your business was mentioned anywhere in the response, and pick the sentiment yourself. Nothing here is scanned or scored automatically — you're the judge.

Your citation receipt
How to read this — and its limits
- This is a point-in-time snapshot. AI answers change from one chat to the next, so a "not mentioned" today isn't permanent, and a "mentioned" isn't guaranteed to repeat.
- Sentiment is self-reported by you, not machine-scored. That's intentional — we'd rather you read the actual response than trust a keyword match claiming accuracy it doesn't have.
- Four questions and four platforms is a small sample. Treat this as a starting signal, not a statistically complete audit.
- If your business never showed up, the likely fix is the same fix that helps traditional SEO: clear structured data, consistent NAP (name/address/phone) info across the web, and content that directly answers the questions people ask.
