Frequently asked questions

01What 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.
02How does the AI Visibility Checker score my page?
We fetch your page once with a safe crawler and run 11 deterministic AEO checks — snippet eligibility, concise answer block, entity clarity, question coverage, supporting evidence, freshness signals, author attribution, canonical consistency, content demarcation, SpeakableSpecification opt-in, and schema presence. 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.
03Will 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.
04Is 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. The same 12 AEO checks also run inside the full VectraSEO monitor (free to start), where they execute on a daily or weekly schedule across every URL in your sitemap.
05What's the difference between this scan and the AI Visibility Monitor inside the product?
This page runs 11 deterministic AEO readiness checks against the HTML of a single URL — fast, no signup, but it cannot tell you whether ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini actually cite you today. The in-product AI Visibility Monitor is the other half: it sends real prompts to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly cadence, parses each answer for brand and competitor mentions, and tracks your share-of-voice and citation rate over time. Use this tool to see if a page is eligible for citation; use the monitor to see whether it is actually being cited.
06How 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.
07Does 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.
