Free ChatGPT visibility checker
A ChatGPT visibility checker tests whether ChatGPT names your business when a customer asks for one, and which websites it read. This one is free: pick ChatGPT and Peekl puts twelve of your customers’ questions to it once, with web search on, then shows whether it named you, who it named instead and the pages behind each answer. The $99 audit asks fifteen questions, three times each, on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.

Why check ChatGPT on its own
ChatGPT is the assistant most customers name first, and the one most likely to leave a local business out. In our scans of 378 ChatGPT answers about seven trades in nine cities, it named 2.2 businesses per answer, fewer than Gemini’s 3.0. Fewer names means a harder door.
It also chooses differently. Its favourite business in a city appeared in 40% of that city’s answers, so it spreads its picks, and it backed them with a web few owners think about: 27% of its citations went to official and professional bodies, health authorities, licensing boards, trade registers. Gemini gave those almost nothing. A business can be well known to Gemini and unknown to ChatGPT for the same question in the same town. In one Peekl audit, an established London clinic was named 13 times by Claude and 6 times by Gemini, and by ChatGPT not once in 45 answers.
It is also the assistant most people have actually tried. Pew Research Center found that 34% of US adults had used ChatGPT by early 2025, about double the share in 2023, and 58% of those aged 18 to 29. The customers asking it for a plumber or a dentist are no longer early adopters.

What the ChatGPT visibility check reports
Twelve ChatGPT answers with web search on, read one by one and reported as four plain readings.
How often ChatGPT names you
Of the twelve customer questions, how many ChatGPT answers named your business, and which questions left you out.
Who ChatGPT recommends instead
The businesses ChatGPT chose when it did not choose you. The two it named most are in the free result; the audit ranks every one.
Which websites ChatGPT read
With web search on, ChatGPT cites the pages behind its answer. The check keeps them, so you see whether a register, a directory or a competitor’s own site carried the answer.
The first thing to fix
The change most likely to move your ChatGPT result, based on what the named businesses have and you lack: a register you are missing from, a directory that lists the competitor, a page that does not answer the question.
How the ChatGPT check runs
Two fields, a few minutes, nothing to install.
Enter your business and city, pick ChatGPT
From your name and town, the check finds your public presence and drafts twelve questions a customer of your trade would ask.
We put twelve questions to ChatGPT
Questions in customers’ own words, from a “near me” search to a specific job, each sent once to ChatGPT through OpenAI’s API with web search on, so it looks businesses up before it answers.
You read the result
Named or not for each question, who ChatGPT named instead, the pages it cited and the first fix, all in a free one-page result. The $99 audit adds three runs per question, Gemini and Claude, and the full plan.
What ChatGPT reads before it recommends a local business
ChatGPT cites fewer pages than Gemini, 2.4 per answer against 3.8, and it trusts a different kind of page. The websites it cited in the most separate checks were a French business directory and the French health-insurance register, then the American Academy of Dermatology, the French health authority, Doctolib, Fresha, a review platform and Zillow. Registers and professional bodies sit where Gemini has Reddit and Facebook.
That has a practical consequence. If your trade has an official register, a licensing board or a professional association with a public directory, ChatGPT is the assistant most likely to read it, and a missing or incomplete entry there is a ChatGPT-specific gap. Booking platforms and review sites still matter, and ChatGPT and Gemini shared at least one top source three times out of four, but the weighting is not the same, and the shortlists are not either.
For your ChatGPT presence the order of work follows from this: the official or professional directory for your trade first, then the booking platform and review sites that list your competitors, then a website page that answers the customer’s question in plain words. ChatGPT tends to quote pages that state a fact and support it in one place; the by-hand guide shows how to see this for yourself before you run anything.
How to track the sources AI citesChatGPT rank tracker, or a ChatGPT visibility check?
A ChatGPT rank tracker, also sold as a ChatGPT visibility tracker or ChatGPT brand monitoring, is a subscription tool that sends a fixed list of prompts to ChatGPT on a schedule and charts how often a brand is mentioned or cited over time. It is built for marketing teams with many prompts and several assistants to watch. Prices run from about $29 a month to several hundred.
An owner with one location rarely needs a line on a chart. ChatGPT’s answer is rebuilt on every run, so the useful reading is the pattern across a set of questions, repeated three times, and what changed after you fixed something. That is what the $99 audit is built to show, on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude at once, with monthly re-checks at $39 as an option for owners who want the trend without a dashboard to learn or a seat to pay for. Compare the ChatGPT trackers if you manage several brands or want daily runs.
