When buyers ask ChatGPT for the best tools in your category, does it name you — or your competitor?
51% of B2B buyers now start research in an AI chatbot, and 69% pick a different vendor after it answers.

Each LLMBrandScan run collects between 90 and 1,000 live AI answers at default settings, across 4 engines live right now on an Audit (2 on a Quick check) — ChatGPT (API with web search), Gemini (grounded), Claude (API with web search) and Google AI answers (AI Overviews) — plus Grok (live search) as an optional add-on — and reports the observed range instead of one lucky answer.
Live engine status (2026-10-18): ChatGPT (API with web search), Gemini (grounded), Claude (API with web search) and Google AI answers (AI Overviews) are answering. Perplexity Sonar is temporarily unavailable at the provider — scans run on the engines that answer, and an engine that does not answer is not charged. This note updates by itself when an engine comes back.

Why now.
Buyers already ask an AI before they ask a salesperson. Here's what's happening in that conversation whether you're watching or not.

Built like a brand tracker.
Our three question lenses aren't invented — each one mirrors a construct brand trackers have measured for decades. The AI assistant is the new “mind” we're measuring, not a survey panel.
Unaided recall + mental availability via Category Entry Points — does the brand come to mind before anyone names it?
— Byron Sharp & Jenni Romaniuk, Ehrenberg-Bass
Aided recall — how the model describes the brand once it's named.
— Classic aided / prompted-recall canon
Consideration set — which brands the model puts in the choice frame together.

“LLMBrandScan measures the same thing brand trackers have measured for decades — whether your brand comes to mind when a buyer asks about your category — but the ‘mind’ is now the AI assistant your customers ask instead of a survey panel. It's a sample, not a census: we run your category's questions across multiple engines multiple times and show you the range, so you see both where you stand and how stable that standing is.”
A sample, not a census.

What you pay for.
Tell us your domain, approve the questions we prepare, and we ask every engine live — every credit buys real model calls, not a subscription seat.
| Depth | Questions | Engines | Samples | Live answers | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quick check | 10 | 3 | 3 | 10×3×3 = 90 | 9 |
| Audit | 25 | 5 | 5 | 25×5×5 = 625 | 100 |
| Deep Audit | 40 | 5 | 5 | 40×5×5 = 1,000 | 160 |
A Deep Audit adds questions, not repeats — phrasing diversity buys ~15× more signal than re-asking the same one. Samples are 3 on a Quick check and 5 on an Audit or Deep Audit — 10 or 15 are available if you want a more rigorous read.
$149 → 500 live queries across 4 assistants.
That's 25 questions asked live on each of 4 engines, 5 times each — every credit buys real model calls, and an answer that fails is released back to your balance.
A failed call costs nothing — you pay only for answers that arrive.
You pay only for answers that come back — a failed or empty answer costs nothing, and its credits return to your balance automatically when the scan finishes. Enforced in the billing code, not a policy page — a dropped or errored engine call is never charged.
One audit, one price. No seat you'll forget to cancel.
Monitoring tools charge $20–499 a month to keep a dashboard warm. This is a different purchase: a dated audit you run when the question comes up. Every category question is asked on 4 engines live right now on an Audit or Deep Audit (2 on a Quick check) and sampled 5 times on an Audit (3 on a Quick check), so each number arrives as an observed range across samples — not a single reading that moves when you refresh.
Sample
$19
1 Quick check — 10 questions x 3 engines x 3 samples
Audit
$149
1 full Audit — 25 questions x 5 engines x 5 samples (or 11 Quick checks)
Deep Audit
$249
180 credits = 1 Deep Audit (160) + 2 Quick checks (9 each) + 2 left over
Agency
$1,350
10 full Audits — one per client
You pay only for answers that come back — a failed or empty answer costs nothing, and its credits return to your balance automatically when the scan finishes.
Your first scan is the baseline.
“Increase share of voice in AI answers from 14% to 22% by Q3” is how marketing teams already write the OKR. Re-scan monthly, or right after a campaign, to show the board a trend — not a single number.
The Deep Audit pack already bakes this in: one Deep Audit plus 2 Quick checks, so you can prove movement without buying credits twice.
Who it's for.
Nobody owns AI visibility yet — SEO, brand, and content all get handed the question. Get a defensible number in an afternoon, self-serve — no procurement cycle, no onboarding call.
Is ChatGPT sending your buyers to a rival?
Run the scan before your next board update or fundraise — know your AI shortlist status cold, instead of guessing.
Prove your AI visibility to your CMO.
Sourced numbers and an observed range, not a hunch — a report built to drop straight into a QBR deck.
A per-client deliverable. No seat lock-in.
Buy scans in packs, brand the findings for each client, and skip the monitoring-tool contract neither of you wants.
Query your AI visibility from your own tools.
LiveThe pay-per-call MCP nobody else in the category ships. Plug check_brand_visibility straight into Claude, Cursor, or your own agent — no subscription, no seat required.
Questions, answered honestly.
Which AI engines do you check?
Right now 4 of the 5 default engines are answering. Live engine status (2026-10-18): ChatGPT (API with web search), Gemini (grounded), Claude (API with web search) and Google AI answers (AI Overviews) are answering. Perplexity Sonar is temporarily unavailable at the provider — scans run on the engines that answer, and an engine that does not answer is not charged. This note updates by itself when an engine comes back. Grok (live search) is selectable as an optional engine in Advanced setup. Those are the engines buyers actually use for AI SEO / AEO research today, not just the one your team happens to have open.
Is that the real ChatGPT?
We call OpenAI's API with search grounding enabled — the same model family, without the chat memory or plugins of the consumer app at chatgpt.com. We label every ChatGPT result “ChatGPT (API with web search)” rather than pretend it's identical, because it isn't, and a tool that doesn't say so is being dishonest with you.
How accurate is this?
AI answers are non-deterministic, so we don't trust a single run. We sample each question 3 times on a Quick check and 5 times on an Audit or Deep Audit — 10 or 15 are available for a more rigorous read — and show you the observed range, never a confidence interval or a claim of statistical significance. Real accuracy comes from coverage: asking across more engines and more phrasings buys roughly 15× more signal than repeating the same question (a published variance study of 12,933 AI brand answers). It's a sample, not a census — an honest read on where you stand today.
Is there a free check?
Yes, a small one: the free AI Visibility Checker asks up to three buyer questions about your category on the engines that are answering today, and shows whether your brand is named and how it compares with up to two competitors — one check per person per day, with a daily budget that can run out. It is a taste, not the product: a full scan runs 90 to 1,000 live paid queries across real AI engines with sampled repeats and ranges, which is why it costs $19 and up. You pay only for answers that come back — a failed or empty answer costs nothing, and its credits return to your balance automatically when the scan finishes.
Is this a subscription?
Scans aren't. You pay once per scan — packs start at $19 — and get a report plus a fix list; the credits are yours to spend whenever you like, with no seat and no dashboard you're billed for whether you open it or not. The one recurring thing we sell is optional monitoring: after a report you can subscribe to have that same scan re-run on a schedule, and cancel any time. Buying a scan never signs you up for it.
How is this different from AI-visibility monitoring tools?
Monitoring tools sell you a dashboard to check forever, starting on day one. We sell the diagnostic first: an honest, one-time answer and a ranked list of what to do next. Tracking is something you add afterwards, only if the report convinces you it's worth watching — and if you'd rather not commit to anything, just buy another scan when you want the next read: before a launch, a rebrand, a competitor's push.
What do I actually do with the report?
Every finding ships with a fix: which prompts you're losing, which competitor and source is winning them, and the concrete action to take — earn a review, publish a comparison, get cited on a page the AI engines already trust. Built to hand straight to whoever owns your AI SEO / AEO work, not to sit in a browser tab.
Do I control what it asks?
Yes. We prepare a tailored set of buyer questions from your domain, but nothing runs until you approve it — check the ones to test, edit anything that's off, add your own. You're never trusting a black box with your questions.
What happens if an engine fails?
You pay only for answers that come back — a failed or empty answer costs nothing, and its credits return to your balance automatically when the scan finishes. If any answer fails, the charge for the answers that arrived is rounded down to whole credits in your favour, so a failure always returns at least one credit. A dropped or errored call to any engine is 0¢ — enforced in the billing code, not a policy we're just promising.
See where you stand before your next buyer asks the AI.
