VisiScan

VisiScan is a free AI visibility scanning tool for local service businesses that want to understand whether they appear when potential customers ask AI platforms for recommendations. It checks how businesses are represented across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, helping owners see whether they are being recommended or whether competitors are appearing instead.

The platform is designed for businesses that depend on local search demand, including plumbers, HVAC companies, dentists, lawyers, roofers, and similar service providers. Rather than measuring traditional search rankings, VisiScan focuses on what AI systems actually recommend when given real buyer questions.

Key Features

Live AI Answer Checks

Test how your business appears across major AI platforms.

VisiScan checks real buyer questions across:

• ChatGPT
• Claude
• Perplexity
• Gemini

This gives businesses a direct view of how AI systems respond to recommendation-style searches.

AI Visibility Score

Measure how frequently your business gets mentioned in AI-generated recommendations.

The visibility score provides a simple way to understand how often your business appears compared with other companies being recommended for similar questions.

AI Readiness Score

Evaluate how prepared your website is for AI discovery.

The readiness score looks at how well your website is structured for AI systems that need to understand, interpret, and potentially recommend local businesses.

Competitor Evidence

See which competitors AI systems recommend instead.

Rather than only showing that your business is missing, VisiScan identifies the businesses appearing in the answers, giving you concrete competitors to investigate.

Free Visibility Scan

Run an initial scan without paying.

The free scan tests five buyer questions and returns results in approximately 60 seconds, giving local businesses a quick way to understand their current AI visibility.

Full AI Visibility Report

Get a deeper analysis of your presence across AI answers.

The full report includes:

• 12 buyer questions
• 144 live AI answers
• 30+ visibility signals
• Quoted AI answers
• Citation sources

• Ranked recommendations

This provides considerably more context than the initial visibility scan.

AI Visibility Fix Pack

Generate prioritized improvements based on your website.

The fix pack includes recommendations such as schema markup and an llms.txt file generated from the site's existing content. The recommendations are prioritized around potential impact and ease of implementation.

Industry and Regional Benchmarking

Compare your AI visibility with similar businesses.

VisiScan can benchmark businesses against peers in their industry and region, helping owners understand whether their visibility is relatively strong or weak.

Why It Matters

Traditional SEO focuses heavily on where a business appears in search results. AI search creates a different visibility problem because users can ask platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations and receive a small selection of businesses in the answer.

VisiScan focuses on this specific experience by testing real buyer questions and showing whether a business gets named or whether competitors appear instead.

The full report provides additional evidence by showing quoted answers, citation sources, competitor information, and a prioritized improvement plan. This makes the scan useful not only for measuring visibility but also for understanding what may need to change.

The platform also considers the next stage of AI discovery through its agent-readiness ladder. This looks at how prepared a website may be for AI systems that could eventually do more than recommend businesses and potentially take actions on behalf of customers.

For businesses that want ongoing visibility data, the Monitor plan adds recurring checks. It can run scans weekly, track score changes, monitor competitor shifts, and provide an AI-traffic beacon and API access for teams and agencies.
