What is AI search visibility? And why it sits alongside SEO and conversion.
AI search visibility is how easily AI-powered search engines – including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews – find, understand, and recommend a website when users ask the questions that lead to a purchase decision.
SearchScore is an AI search visibility checker, citation tracker, and optimisation consultancy. It evaluates how well a website is understood, trusted, and cited by AI search engines, alongside traditional SEO signals and conversion rate optimisation. The free audit is an AI search visibility checker covering 250+ signals across three disciplines: AI search visibility (GEO), Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), and Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO). The Tracker monitors your AI search visibility over time across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and DeepSeek.
Common questions about AI search visibility, answered.
If you're researching the category, start here. Short answers, no fluff. Each links to the deeper guide.
How is AI search visibility different from SEO?
SEO optimises a website to rank in Google's blue-link search results. AI search visibility optimises a website to be cited and recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. The two share technical foundations – schema markup, crawlability, content quality – but AI search visibility adds specific signals: llms.txt, citable passage structure, named author authority, and AI crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot. A site can rank well in SEO and still be invisible to AI. Read the full guide →
How do I improve my AI search visibility?
Six things move the needle most: (1) allow AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) in robots.txt; (2) deploy an llms.txt file declaring your site's purpose to AI systems; (3) add complete schema markup including Article, FAQ, and Author/Person; (4) structure content with definitional sentences AI engines can quote directly (100-200 words per paragraph, clear topic sentences); (5) build third-party citations and brand mentions across reputable sources; (6) add named, credentialed authors to content. SearchScore audits 250+ signals across these areas. See the technical guide →
Which AI engines should I optimise for?
Six AI search engines now dominate the answer-mode market: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Grok (xAI) and DeepSeek. Each crawls differently, weights signals differently, and ranks sources differently. The good news: the underlying technical foundations – schema, crawler access, content structure, author authority – are shared across all six. Optimising properly for one means making progress on the others. SearchScore Tracker monitors all six weekly. See the Tracker →
Why isn't my website showing up in ChatGPT?
The most common reasons are surprisingly fixable: GPTBot is blocked in robots.txt (or by your server config); there's no llms.txt file; structured data is missing or incomplete; content paragraphs are too short for AI to extract; or your site lacks the brand authority signals (third-party citations, EEAT, named authors) AI engines weight heavily when deciding which sources to trust. SearchScore audits all of these in 60 seconds. Run a free audit →
See exactly what's broken, before you trust us with anything.
Every other audit tool gates the diagnosis behind email. We give it away. Three scores, full category bars, and what's actually broken: yours, free. The email unlocks the part that decides what you do next: the prioritised fix list, with score-lift projections and time estimates per fix.

Know how to fix it
Everything you need to plan the work and watch your score move.

- See the projected score lift for each fix
Three things are quietly costing you sales right now. Here's what we measured.
Across 850,000+ sites in our dataset. Each one maps to something we fix.
You're losing 97 of every 100 visitors
The average website converts fewer than 3% of visitors into customers. Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) addresses the structural reasons visitors leave without buying: weak above-the-fold messaging, missing trust signals, broken funnels, slow page speed, and friction in the checkout or lead-capture flow. SearchScore audits 30+ conversion signals across 7 categories.
Search engines can't read your site
63% of websites in our dataset of 850,000+ have zero schema markup, the structured data that search engines and AI engines rely on to understand a page's content. Without schema, sites are harder to rank in Google, harder to extract as featured snippets, and almost impossible for AI systems to cite. You cannot rank for what they cannot read.
ChatGPT can't recommend you
71% of websites score below 50/100 on AI Search visibility. AI engines including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews cannot find or cite these sites when buyers ask the questions that should win the sale. Common causes: blocked AI crawlers, no llms.txt, missing structured author signals, and content not formatted for AI extraction.
No email needed for the diagnosis. 850,000+ sites benchmarked.
Most "AI visibility tools" only check half the equation. We don't.
These businesses found out what was quietly costing them sales.
"Honestly I didn't know this was a thing until we ran the audit. Someone rang us about a corporate event and when I asked how they found us, they said they'd asked ChatGPT. That had literally never happened before."
"I work in AI so I assumed we'd score well. We didn't. The audit flagged that our robots.txt was blocking AI crawlers, plus a handful of immediate fixes to boost our authority. The blocker took minutes to sort. Sobering and useful in equal measure."
"Ran it across eight client sites in one sitting. Every single one had AI visibility gaps I'd have missed, and I do this for a living."
Not a report. Not a checklist. We ship the work – AI crawler access, schema deployment, technical SEO fixes, conversion quick wins. And we stand behind it. If your scores don't move, we keep working at no charge until they do. No arguments. No small print.
First we get you found. Then we get you chosen.
Two stages. Two different jobs. Stage 01 is done-for-you implementation: we ship every priority fix across AI visibility, SEO and conversion. Stage 02 is ongoing authority building, content and monitoring to keep you ahead.
