AI Perception Check™

Why Aren't AI Search Engines
Recommending Your Business?

Your audit shows that AI engines can read your site. But does that mean ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini actually recommend your business when someone asks? The AI Perception Check™ asks them — and shows you the truth.

The Hard Truth Most Scanners Won't Tell You

Every AI visibility tool on the market checks the same signals — schema markup, robots.txt, llms.txt. A green checkmark on those means the door is open. But no one checks if AI engines actually walk through it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the $27 audit and the AI Perception Check?
The $27 audit checks whether your website has the right signals — schema markup, robots.txt access, llms.txt, speed, SEO. These are prerequisites, like opening the door. The AI Perception Check™ goes further: it actually asks ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to recommend a business like yours, and checks whether they mention you. Having signals doesn't guarantee you're recommended.
Does having an llms.txt file mean AI will recommend me?
No. An llms.txt file is a helpful signal that tells AI crawlers about your business. But it's just one factor among many. AI engines also consider your schema markup quality, third-party citations (Yelp, directories, social profiles), online reviews, and entity authority. Many businesses have all the right signals and are still invisible to AI — because their competitors have stronger citation profiles and entity authority.
Which AI engines do you check?
We probe three major AI engines: ChatGPT (GPT-4o via OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), and Google Gemini (1.5 Pro). Each engine is asked in natural language to recommend businesses in your category and location. We analyze the responses for your business name, domain, rank position, sentiment, and URL citations.
How is this different from Schema Doctor Pro™?
The AI Perception Check tells you where you stand today — are you recommended, mentioned, or invisible? Schema Doctor Pro™ goes much further: it scans your competitors, provides an interactive AI intelligence dashboard with deployable fix code, and gives you a phased plan to outrank them in AI recommendations. Think of the Perception Check as the diagnosis, and Schema Doctor Pro™ as the treatment plan.
What tier do I need for the AI Perception Check?
The AI Perception Check™ is included with any paid tier starting at $27/month (Starter). Higher tiers include additional features like competitive intelligence (AI Intelligence Dashboard), fix guides, and custom llms.txt generation.
