Do AI engines link you, or just mention you?

Most scanners only tell you if you are mentioned. We check whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude actually hyperlink your brand, just name it in passing, or skip you for a competitor. Since AI engines started linking brand names inline, an unlinked mention is traffic left on the table.

(01) What you actually get

A deeper read than a yes or no

Linked vs mentioned vs absent

Every answer is graded three ways, not two. We surface the queries where AI names you but does not link you, with the exact snippet. That is your closest, most fixable win.

Four engines, live search

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, each with live web search, not a single-model guess. A real hyperlink is weighted higher than a passing mention in your score.

Real buyer queries

We read your homepage and generate 10 searches your actual customers would type, with your brand name deliberately excluded, so the result reflects discovery, not vanity.

Who gets cited instead

A ranked map of the competitors AI recommends in your place across all four engines, so you know exactly who is winning the answer you should own.

(04) Why it matters

Why this matters now

In May 2026, ChatGPT started hyperlinking brand names inline, straight to their homepages. ChatGPT referral traffic roughly doubled overnight, and around 1 in 4 of those clicks now land on a brand homepage cold. Being named is no longer the finish line. Being linked is.

When someone asks an AI "best project management tool for startups" or "fractional CTO services UK", the model names specific brands and increasingly links them. If you are named but not linked, a competitor who is linked takes the visit. If you are absent, you are not in the conversation at all.

Unlike traditional SEO, there is no page 2 to climb. This scanner shows you exactly where you stand across 4 engines: where you are linked, where you are only mentioned, where you are missing, and who the AI recommends instead.

(05) FAQ

Common questions

What does the AI Visibility Scanner check?
It queries ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with 10 real customer search queries generated from your website, then classifies each answer into one of three states: linked (your domain is hyperlinked), mentioned (your brand is named in the text but not linked), or absent. It also lists which competitors get cited instead.
Why does mentioned-but-not-linked matter?
Since May 2026, ChatGPT hyperlinks brand names inline directly to their homepages. Overnight that roughly doubled ChatGPT referral traffic and sent around 1 in 4 clicks to brand homepages. A brand that is named in an answer but not linked gets the credibility without the click. That gap is the most fixable win in AI search, and most scanners do not measure it.
How is this different from a normal AI citation checker?
Standard checkers give you a binary: mentioned or not. We measure the gap between being talked about and getting the click, across four engines with live web search, weighted so a real hyperlink counts more than a passing mention. You see exactly which queries name you without linking you, with the supporting snippet.
Is it really free?
Yes. The scan is free and self-serve, rate-limited to 3 scans per day per visitor because it runs live queries against four paid AI engines. You get the full report with no signup. Drop your email only if you want a copy sent to you and a heads-up when your visibility changes.
How long does a scan take?
About 60 to 90 seconds. We generate 10 queries from your homepage, then run them across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with live search and score the results in real time.
Which AI engines do you check?
ChatGPT (OpenAI with web search), Perplexity (sonar), Google Gemini (with Google Search grounding), and Anthropic's Claude (with web search). Each query is run against all four so you see where you are strong and where you are invisible.
