Are you visible to AI search?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Your site may rank on Google page 1 and stay invisible to ChatGPT. We grade both in 30 seconds. No login required.

The problem AI search creates

A homeowner's pipe bursts. They ask ChatGPT "best plumber near me in Denver." ChatGPT recommends 3 businesses. Yours isn't one of them, even though you rank #1 on Google.

This happens daily. Customers use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to find local businesses. These AI systems don't see your site the way Google does. They need structured data, clear entity signals, and Q&A content to identify and recommend your business.

Without proper AI search optimization, you're invisible to the fastest-growing way customers discover businesses in 2026.

The 5 signals AI systems use

1

Schema Markup

LocalBusiness schema tells AI your name, address, hours, phone, and business type. Without it, AI cannot identify you.

2

Server-Side Rendering

Content must load on the server. If your site renders only in JavaScript, AI crawlers see an empty page.

3

Q&A Content

ChatGPT looks for FAQ sections. 8-12 answers to common customer questions signal that your site is trustworthy.

4

Entity Signals

Consistent business name, address, and phone (NAP) across your site and web directories. AI uses this to verify your business exists.

5

Meta Descriptions

Clear 150-160 character descriptions of your page. AI systems use these to understand what you do.

FAQ

What is AI search visibility?+

AI search visibility is whether your business appears when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for recommendations. Many businesses rank on Google but stay invisible to AI because AI systems need structured data (schema markup, entity signals, Q&A content) to identify and recommend your business.

Why do I rank on Google but not on ChatGPT?+

Google uses traditional link-based ranking. ChatGPT uses different signals: schema markup, entity recognition, structured Q&A content, author authority, and brand mentions. A beautiful website with good Google rank can still be invisible to AI if it lacks this structured data.

What does MyBizGrade check for AI search visibility?+

We audit 5 key factors: schema markup (LocalBusiness, FAQ, etc.), server-side rendering (content available to AI crawlers), Q&A content density (answers to common customer questions), entity signals (clear business name, address, phone), and meta descriptions (brief summaries AI systems use).

How long does the AI search visibility check take?+

Under 30 seconds. MyBizGrade scans your entire site and generates an AI Readiness score from 0-100, plus a letter grade and specific fixes written in plain English.

Is AI search visibility important for all businesses?+

Yes, if customers search for your type of business on ChatGPT or Perplexity. This includes plumbers, dentists, accountants, lawyers, restaurants, salons, contractors, and any service business that takes local inquiries.

What's the difference between GEO and AEO?+

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is optimizing for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the same thing. They're synonymous terms for making your business visible to AI systems.
