AI visibility checker — coming soon
A checker that tests whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews cite a brand when asked the questions its buyers ask. It is not connected yet, and the form below does not run.
Short answer
What is AI visibility and why does it matter?
AI visibility is whether assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI Overviews name a brand when answering a question in its category. It is distinct from search ranking: assistants cite sources they can fetch and parse, and most of them fetch HTML without executing JavaScript, so a client-rendered site can rank well in Google and never appear in an AI answer. DigeeSell's checker is in development and is not running yet.

What is the current status?
In development. The form below is present so the eventual interface is visible, but it is disabled and submits nothing — there is no backend behind it. When the checks run, this page will say so and the method note will carry the prompt set and the run dates.
We would rather publish a page that explains the problem and admits the tool is not ready than ship a form that collects a domain and does nothing with it.
How is AI visibility different from search ranking?
A search engine returns a list and the user chooses. An assistant returns an answer and names a few sources, so the question is not what position a page holds but whether it is one of the handful of documents the model draws on. The two correlate, because assistants lean on search results, but they come apart in specific and fixable ways.
The sharpest of those is rendering. Google executes JavaScript, on a delay. The assistant crawlers largely do not: they fetch the HTML and read what is in it. A site whose content, titles and structured data only appear after a script runs is, to those crawlers, close to empty.
What appears to influence whether a brand is cited?
- Server-rendered content. If the answer to the question is in the HTML, it can be read; if it is assembled in the browser, generally it cannot.
- Direct answers placed early in the page, in the words the question uses, rather than buried after preamble.
- Being mentioned on third-party sources the models already trust — publications, directories, comparison pages — rather than only on your own site.
- Clean structure: real headings, structured data that matches the visible content, and no interstitials or consent walls blocking the crawler.
- A robots.txt that does not block assistant crawlers, which many sites do without realising it.
This list reflects what we observe across accounts we run and what the platforms have published about their crawlers. The weighting between these factors is not published by any of them, and anyone presenting a precise formula is guessing.
What can you check before the tool is ready?
Ask the assistants directly. Put the questions your buyers would ask into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google, and record whether you are named and which source gets cited instead. It is manual and it is unscientific, but it answers the question today.
Then check whether your pages are readable at all: view the page source and search it for your main heading and body text. If they are not there, no assistant can see them. The SEO audit covers this formally.
What do buyers ask before starting?
When will the AI visibility checker be available?
No date is published, because we would rather announce it when it runs than miss a date announced early. Until then the page states plainly that it is in development and the form is disabled.
Why does my site rank in Google but never appear in ChatGPT answers?
Most often, rendering. Google executes JavaScript on a delay; the assistant crawlers generally fetch HTML and do not execute it. If your content only exists after a script runs, those crawlers see an almost empty page. Server-rendering the content is the fix.
Can we block AI crawlers and still be cited?
Not by the ones you block. If robots.txt disallows a crawler, that assistant cannot fetch your pages and will cite someone else. Some sites block them deliberately; the trade-off should be a decision rather than an accident, and it is worth checking what your robots.txt currently does.
Does structured data make a brand more likely to be cited?
It helps machines parse a page, and it is cheap to get right, so it is worth doing. No platform publishes how much weight it carries in citation selection, and claims of a precise effect are not supported by anything public.
Is AI visibility worth investing in separately from SEO?
Mostly it is the same work done properly: server-rendered content, direct answers, clean structure and third-party mentions. The cases where it diverges are rendering and crawler access, which are technical fixes rather than a separate budget.
