Whether the AI answers to those questions name your brand at all — judged per engine, not averaged away.

What guessing costs. If nobody runs this, the honest position is that you do not know whether AI answers name you — and the risk is invisible until a competitor is the one being recommended in every reply. The free check is the same CiteAngle protocol as the paid panel, sealed and logged the same way, which is why the number it returns is one you can act on today.
There is a second cost, and it is the one that stings later. Without a dated reading now, any work you do this year has no before — so when the answers improve you cannot show it was you, and the budget for the next round gets argued from opinion. Run the check today and that baseline exists, sealed with its conditions, whatever you decide to buy afterwards.
Why run it at all
Because right now the honest answer to "what do AI answers say about us?" is that nobody in your company knows. Not the marketing lead, not the agency, not the analytics you already pay for — a visit is logged after the shortlist is written, and a rank report describes the links the answer was sitting above. Guessing costs nothing until the quarter a competitor gets named in every reply and your team is still debating whether the channel matters.
Ten minutes and no card settles it. Run ours because it is the same machine, not a teaser. Real queries go to real engines. Each engine is judged on its own, not averaged into one comfortable number. A competitor is read on the same question, so you learn whether you are absent or the whole category is. Buy an audit later and the paid panel is wider by arithmetic, identical in kind: 50 questions across 15 engines, 7 runs each, landing on 17 surfaces. The free reading is the first row of that same table.
What we know right now
Name shown or not, slot by slot · Spread across repeats · Against competing brands · The observation denominator
What we measure and send
We run them, read back which slots carried your name, and repeat the same question to see how much the answer moves. It lands in your inbox.
First, a screen we measured ourselves
2,045 answers from one engine that carried no citation at all
On this surface most answers hand out no source line at all. Whether that holds anywhere else is a separate measurement — the denominators are not the same, so we do not stack them.

What the free check tells you
Three buyer questions are on us. You write them, and the check runs them across six AI engines in one automated pass, on your own brand. Three things come back.
02 · Engine spread
The same question gets different answers on different engines. You see where you appear and where you are missing.
03 · Competitor side-by-side
Add a competitor and you see who gets named on the same question — "we're absent but they're named" says far more than "we're absent".
How it runs
Step 1 · Request
Pick your industry and suggested questions appear — keep them or write your own. Company, work email, done. No payment details, ever.
Step 2 · Automated pass
Your questions run against the engines as submitted. Only real execution results are counted — nothing is staged.
Step 3 · Results link
When the pass finishes, the results page arrives by email. You can request a fresh snapshot monthly.

Free check and paid diagnosis part ways in 7 places
The free check does give you a position. Here is the work the paid one adds.
| What you are looking at | Free check | Paid diagnosis and programmes |
|---|---|---|
| How many times we ask | Each question goes out 1 time, and you read that answer. | Each question goes out 7 times, and every planned observation is run and its status published — the misses too. |
| The margin around the number | You get the figure exactly as that one pass returned it. | The 7 passes are pooled into a rate carrying a Wilson 95% interval, so you read a band rather than a single point. |
| Receipts you can open | Present or absent, split across the 6 AI engines so you see which one differs. | Every citation the answer leaned on comes back with its source URL and the pass number it appeared in. Your team can open the same links. |
| Comparison with last month | Run it again 1 time a month and take a fresh reading. | The 3 monthly programmes remeasure from scratch and hand you a delta report against the previous month. Last month's figure is never carried forward. |
| Remeasuring after you fix things | Change something, then check again. | Execution programmes close with a final remeasurement on the same grid, so the movement is judged on the same ruler that set the baseline. |
| The addresses the answers linked to | You get the count, the mix by type, and how often they were cited. One of them is opened by name. | Every address arrives named, with the question it was linked from and how many passes carried it — plus the addresses the model read and left unlinked. |
| Rival brands | Rivals that turned up in the same answers come back with their counts. | For each rival you get the answer it surfaced in and the address it was linked through, one line per hit. That is where you see who already holds the seat. |
The four audit tiers, the add-ons, both sprints and the monthly programs carry fixed list prices on the pricing page. Full-Focus and Enterprise are priced by quote once we set the scope. See pricing →
Questions buyers ask before running it
Is there a free way to check my brand's AI search visibility?
Yes — that is what this page starts. The free AI visibility check executes your buyers' questions on six AI engines and reports, per engine, whether the answers name your brand. It is an automated measurement, not a screenshot demo, and it costs nothing.
Can I compare my brand against a competitor?
Yes. Add a competitor brand and the snapshot shows who gets named on the same questions, side by side. It is the most used part of the free check.
What should I look for when choosing an AI visibility tool?
Four things, all checkable on a vendor's public pages: repeated runs, confidence intervals, raw-response access, and which surfaces are actually measured. We lined up what vendors state publicly, on the same axes, in our public-page comparison — with the questions to ask before you buy.
How is the free AI visibility check different from the paid audits?
The snapshot is a fast preliminary read. The paid audits repeat every question seven times, report rates with Wilson confidence intervals, and publish the state of every planned observation in the measured grid, failures included. Scope and USD quotes are on the services page.
Is the methodology public?
Yes. Surfaces, judging rules and the repeat protocol are documented in the methodology, and every published figure is listed with its evidence in the public claims registry.
The check is free and starts from the form at the bottom of this page. If the answers are already naming your competitors, you will want to know today rather than next quarter.

One minute, no card, no meeting. Three questions are on us — write the ones your buyers would put to an AI, and we run them exactly as you wrote them and mail you the results page.
Each question goes to 6 AI answer surfaces. Send 3 and that is 18 observations in all, and we count how many of them came back with your name.
