AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity are rewriting how buyers find services. Being mentioned in those answers is the new front page of Google.
This tool tests both sides at once: your page's schema and structure (are you readable by AI), and whether real answer engines actually name your brand for the questions your buyers type.
Where this tool actually helps
Before pitching a client on Generative Engine Optimization
Show them exactly how often ChatGPT names their competitors instead of them.
Tracking AI visibility over time
Rerun the same prompts monthly and watch the mention rate move.
Sanity-checking new content
Publish, wait a week, run the prompts. If AI still does not mention you, your structure needs work.
How to read the result
Mention rate is the raw signal. Page AI-readiness is the leading indicator: pages with FAQ schema, named authors, Article/HowTo markup and 800+ words get cited more often.
Common mistakes we see
- Testing branded prompts. AI will always mention you if you name yourself. Test category prompts buyers actually type.
- Testing prompts your buyers do not ask. Use real queries from support and sales.
- Assuming one snapshot equals ranking. AI answers are non-deterministic. Track over time.
FAQs
- Which AI is being queried?
- Gemini 2.5 Flash via the Lovable AI Gateway. It behaves similarly to Google's AI Overviews.
- Why is my brand not mentioned?
- Either the AI has not indexed enough content about you, or your content is not structured for citation (missing FAQ schema, author, article schema).
- Is this like Perplexity or ChatGPT?
- The behaviour is close but not identical. Treat it as a leading indicator for how AI answer engines see you.
A note from Nimitt
A tool gives you a number. A person tells you what to do with it. If you want a straight answer on your site, send it over. I read every one myself.
