Frequently asked questions
- What is AI visibility — is it different from regular SEO?
- AI visibility is how likely your page is to be quoted, summarised, or cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. Regular SEO targets the blue links; AI visibility targets the answer surface above them. The fundamentals overlap (crawlability, clear structure, real expertise) but answer engines also reward concise, extractable answers, clean schema, and original facts the engine can attribute back to you.
- How does the AI Visibility Checker score my page?
- We fetch your page once with a safe crawler and run 11 deterministic AEO checks — meta description shape, title clarity, heading structure, first-paragraph answer, schema presence and validity, FAQPage / HowTo coverage, semantic HTML, content depth, and a few format details. Each check passes or fails, and the score is a weighted 0–100 number with the failed rules listed for fix-by-fix follow-up.
- Will ChatGPT and Perplexity actually start citing my page after I fix these?
- Fixing the failed rules removes the most common reasons answer engines refuse to cite a page, but a citation also depends on freshness, authority, and the specific query — none of which a one-off scan can guarantee. The checker tells you whether your page is eligible for citation; earning citations consistently is the job of writing genuinely useful, original content and being referenced by other sites.
- Is this tool really free, and do I need to sign up?
- Yes — no signup, no card, no email gate on a single scan. Free use is rate-limited to a handful of scans per hour to keep abuse off the public endpoint. If you want to track AI visibility for many pages over time, the same checks ship inside the full VectraSEO monitor (also free to start).
- How often should I re-check a page?
- Recheck whenever you ship a meaningful edit, add or change schema, or restructure headings. For a page you care about, monthly is usually enough; for a high-traffic conversion page, weekly is reasonable. Big content changes can take a few days to propagate before AI engines refresh their grounding data.
- Does the checker support non-English pages?
- The deterministic checks (schema, headings, structure) work on any language. The "first paragraph answers the title" check and content-depth heuristic are tuned for English and may be noisier on other languages — treat those signals as advisory until we expand language coverage.
