Case Study · Our Own Build · AI Search Visibility
The free checker that scores any business the way AI sees it, in one sitting
Every owner we talked to asked the same question: does AI recommend my business? Answering it by hand took hours per business and could not be repeated. So we built the tool that answers it in one sitting, and it became the front door of this site.

The problem
A simple question with no fast, honest answer
Checking one business properly means asking several buyer questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, reading every answer, and counting who gets named. Done by hand, that is an afternoon of work, and it cannot be re-run weekly.
The tools that did exist hid their method behind a single blended score, so an owner could not see what was measured or check it.
What we did
One structured pass per engine, nothing blended
Step 1
Ask each engine the structured way
One structured request per platform returns an overview of how that engine sees the business, plus five fixed scores. Each platform gets its own result and its own total. There is no combined score hiding the differences.
Step 2
Show the same numbers everywhere
The results page, the branded PDF, and the saved record carry identical figures. If a visitor names no competitor, no competitor is scored or shown, ever.
Step 3
Turn every check into a written audit
Each lead's check feeds a full written audit, the counts, the answers, the fix list, reviewed by a person before it goes out. The first real customer audit went through this loop end to end in October 2026.
How the checker stays honest
- The five scores are labeled on the results as AI-generated estimates, not measured search rankings.
- Final numbers are real text on the page, readable by search engines and screen readers, not drawn only by animation.
- A business is only ever compared against competitors the visitor actually named.
- The same engine now powers the weekly visibility reports clients get, so the free check and the paid report can never quietly disagree.
The result
The front door, and the reporting engine behind it
176 businesses have been run through the checker, backed by 2,112 AI answers. Audits go out within one business day, and the header of this site now points at the checker because it is the fastest honest answer we can give a stranger.
Building it for ourselves first is the pattern behind every case study on this page: the system has to survive our own businesses before it is offered to anyone else.
Run your business through it.
Figures are from the checker's saved records through October 2026. The checker is a product of AI Deployment Partner and runs on this site.
