Cited by Barketing

Run real queries against Claude AI to see if your business gets mentioned. Every scan saves to your dashboard automatically.

AI platforms to test
? Where does each AI get its information?
Claude — Claude Sonnet 4.6
Answers from its training data — what it learned up to its knowledge cutoff. It does not search the internet during a scan. This tests whether your business has built enough of an online presence to be recognised by AI from its training alone. Good for measuring long-term brand awareness.
ChatGPT — GPT-4o Search
Searches the web live before answering, the same way a real user experiences ChatGPT. Results reflect what is actually findable online right now — your website, Google Business Profile, reviews, and directory listings all feed into this. Note: the tool scans without a specific location, so results may vary slightly from a search done on a device with location turned on.
Google AI — Gemini 2.5 Flash
Powered by Google Search grounding — the same technology behind Google AI Overviews. When a pet owner Googles "best dog walker near me" and sees an AI answer at the top of the results page, that's powered by Gemini. This is the most important platform for local search visibility. Pets & Animals is one of the top sectors for Google AI Overviews, appearing in 37% of searches in this category.
Perplexity — Sonar Pro
Searches the web in real time. Popular with people doing deeper research into local services. A strong score here means your business appears across the online sources that AI search engines index — directories, reviews, your website, and third-party mentions.

Competitor Comparison

See how your AI visibility compares on ChatGPT and Google AI — the two platforms that use live web search, giving the most accurate real-world picture. Add competitors below, select your prompts, and run the scan.

📊 AI mention share — who AI leans on in your market

Real data from DataForSEO's AI-answer corpus: when people ask AI about your service, these are the websites the AI actually cites — ranked by how often they come up, with your own site highlighted. Structured and historical, independent of your own scans — the hard-data companion to the live discovery below. Covers ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

🔍 Who AI recommends in your market

Instead of naming competitors yourself, see which businesses ChatGPT and Google AI actually recommend when someone searches for your service in your area — ranked by how often they come up — plus what the top competitor has that you could match.

Live demand data
Verified · live

Enter the problems your clients face — get the real conversational demand behind them, sized from live search data. Shows which questions your content should answer first.

Suggested FAQs
From your data

Generate a distinct set of FAQs — with ready-to-publish answers and schema — for each of your service and location pages. Pick a service and/or location, publish its FAQs, then come back for the next. Braided from where AI didn't mention you, the follow-up questions AI raises, and the pages AI already crawls.

Which page are these FAQs for?
Pick a specific service or “All services”, and a specific location or “Whole service area”. For example: one service across your whole area (a service page), all services in one location (a location page), or a specific service in one place.
One page per generation — publish its FAQs, then pick the next combination for your next page. (Options come from your Settings.)
Before you publish: these are AI-drafted sample answers to get you started. Review and personalize each one — add your real pricing, service details, and your own voice — before posting them to your site.
Entity Confidence

Does AI actually know who you are? This checks that your business identity — name, phone, website, category and service area — is clear and consistent across the sources AI trusts to recognise a business, then scores it and hands you a prioritised fix list.

Settings

Your business profile is used across all scans and your dashboard.

Business profile
Other names AI might use for your business — abbreviations, names with/without extra words. Comma-separated. The scan will count a mention of any of these as a hit.
This is the main city used in your AI scan queries.
The first service you tick is used as your primary type in scan prompts.
Use this if your business type isn't in the list above. Added to your services and used in scan prompts. If nothing is ticked above, the first one here becomes your primary type.
List the towns and neighbourhoods you serve, separated by commas. This helps AI platforms understand your coverage area, powers location-specific content recommendations, and drives your town-by-town rank map on the Local tab (each town is checked with its own keyword).
This pins your exact Google listing so the Reviews tab shows your real rating and reviews — needed for home-based and mobile businesses, which Google hides from address searches.
How to find yours: open the Google Place ID Finder, type your business name in the map's search box (or click your pin on the map), and copy the ChIJ… code it shows you. Paste it above and save.
