Free Gemini visibility checker
Gemini answers inside Google’s own assistant and powers Google’s AI Mode. Enter your business and city. In a few minutes you will see whether Gemini names you when a customer asks, who it names instead, and which websites it leaned on.
Why check Gemini on its own
Gemini is the assistant behind the Gemini app, the Google app and Google’s AI Mode. The answer it gives about your trade in your town therefore reaches customers in several places at once. And it is a decisive answer. Rather than a page of results, Gemini names a short list and moves on.
We measured how short. Across 378 Gemini answers about seven local trades in nine cities, Gemini named about three businesses per answer. In a typical city its favourite business appeared in 57% of the answers. ChatGPT, asked the same questions, spread its picks more thinly: 2.2 names per answer, with a favourite in 40%. Gemini plays favourites harder. If you are one of them, you are in most answers. If you are not, you are in almost none, and no Maps ranking tells you which side you are on.
How Gemini compares with ChatGPT and ClaudeWhat the Gemini visibility check reports
Four readings from twelve real Gemini answers, in plain words. No score to decode.
Your Gemini mention rate
Of twelve customer questions, how many Gemini answers included your business by name, and how many left you out.
Who Gemini recommends instead
The businesses Gemini reached for when it did not reach for you. The two it named most are shown free; every one is in the audit.
Which websites Gemini cited
Gemini shows the pages it read. The check records them, so you see which directories, booking platforms or business sites shaped the answer.
The first thing to fix
The single highest-impact change for your Gemini presence, drawn from the gap between you and the businesses it named.
How the Gemini check runs
Three steps, a few minutes, nothing to install.
Enter your business and city
That is all the check needs. It finds your public presence itself and writes the questions for your trade and town.
We put twelve questions to Gemini
Real customer phrasings, from “best near me” to a specific need, sent to Gemini through Google’s API with web search switched on: the same family of model that answers in the Gemini app.
You read the result
Named or not for each question, the businesses named instead, the websites cited, and the first fix. Free, on one page.
What Gemini leans on when it recommends a local business
When Gemini names a local business, it shows the pages it read. In our scans, two thirds of Gemini’s citations pointed at the recommended businesses’ own websites. One fifth went to booking platforms such as Doctolib, Zocdoc, Thumbtack and Fresha, and one tenth to directories and review sites. Reddit was the single website Gemini cited most often, in 9 of 63 checks, with Facebook close behind.
ChatGPT reads a different web. It gave 27% of its citations to official and professional bodies: health authorities, trade associations, licensing boards. Gemini gave them almost none, 2 citations out of 1,428. So the same business can be well documented for ChatGPT and invisible to Gemini. That is one reason the two agreed on at least one recommended business only half the time.
For your Gemini presence the order of work follows from this. First, a website that states plainly what you do and where. Then a complete listing on the booking platform and the directories for your trade, and genuine mentions where locals talk, Reddit and Facebook included. Because Gemini is Google’s assistant, your Google Business Profile and reviews sit underneath all of it; the by-hand guide covers that side.

A Gemini visibility tracker is a subscription tool that sends a fixed list of prompts to Gemini on a schedule, usually daily, and charts how often a brand is mentioned or cited over time. Some vendors call it Gemini brand monitoring or Gemini rank tracking. It suits marketing teams tracking many prompts across many assistants. Prices start around $29 a month and rise with prompts and engines.
A local business rarely needs a daily line. Gemini’s answer shifts from run to run anyway, so what matters is the pattern across a set of questions and how it moves after you fix something. Peekl is built for that rhythm: a free Gemini check today, a one-time $99 audit across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude when you want the full picture and the plan, and optional monthly re-checks at $39 if you want the trend without a dashboard to learn. Compare the dedicated trackers if you manage several brands.
