Is AI recommending your business?
When Kiwis ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google for “the best café in Raglan” or “a sparkie in Hamilton”, someone gets recommended. Find out in 10 seconds if it’s you.
People don’t just search anymore.
They ask ChatGPT for a plumber, Perplexity for the best brunch, and Google answers with AI Overviews before anyone scrolls to the links. When AI writes the answer, it recommends specific businesses by name.
The ones it mentions get the call. The ones it doesn’t are invisible. AI visibility is how often the machines mention you. It’s shaped by what AI can find and trust about your business online, and most NZ small businesses have given it almost nothing to work with. That’s fixable.

The short version, written so AI can quote it too.
How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my business?
Type your business name into a checker like this one. We query AI engines live and show whether you are cited, and what is missing if you are not.
Why doesn't AI mention my business?
Usually: no structured data, no authoritative register entry, or an unverified, thin web presence. AI engines can only recommend what they can find and trust. All of it is fixable.
How do I improve my AI visibility?
Claim and verify your listing, complete your profile, get your website linked, and keep details current. AI engines reward consistent, structured, citable sources.
Is this really free?
Yes. The check is free and the listing is free. Paid tiers add promotion, not basics: your AI-readable profile costs nothing.
How accurate is it?
All three checks run live against the real engines: Perplexity, ChatGPT and Gemini. If an engine cannot be reached we fall back to modelled citability signals for that engine, and the result always labels which is which.
