How to Check If ChatGPT Can See Your Website: A Free AI Visibility Check (With My Real Results)

Last week, people started asking AI assistants about products instead of Googling them. You already know this. What I didn't know — until I checked — is what those assistants actually say about my business.

So I ran a free AI visibility check on my own website. The short version: 100 out of 100 AI answers about my business described a completely different company. Wrong founder. Wrong country. Wrong products. Zero answers mentioned me.

This post is the full check, step by step, with my real results as the worked example — including the parts that were my own fault, and the fixes I'm making first. You can run the same check on your site, free, in a few minutes.

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews "what is [your business]?", the assistant builds its answer from pages it can read and trust. Roughly, it depends on three things:

That third point is where my site fell apart.

The tool I used is the Wellows AI Visibility Report (free, launched this week — no account, no card). Here's the exact process:

That third point stung, because a day earlier I'd had to add a clearer "what this product does" section to the same homepage for an unrelated app verification — a human reviewer needed the same thing the AI did: tell me plainly what this is, at the top, in one sentence. Machines aren't confused by different things than people are. They're confused by exactly the same things.

From the audit and the fix plan it generated, ranked cheapest first — this is my actual to-do list, and most of it applies to any small site:

A free report is a snapshot, not a ranking. Mine was one question, asked five times per assistant, on one day — AI answers vary, and one round proves very little. The free audit also allows one check per brand and country every thirty days; ongoing tracking is the paid product. And no report fixes anything by itself — it hands you the list. The fixing is still yours.

You don't even need the tool. The manual version from Wellows' own guide: write down the real questions your buyers ask, ask them in a private browser window, and log three things in a spreadsheet — were you mentioned, was your website quoted, and what did the answer reveal about you? Repeat weekly.

My own plan is exactly that: do the week-one fixes, then re-run this same audit in twelve weeks and publish whether the answer changed. Whatever it shows.

I build small AI tools and free utilities at onyxailabs.me — the PDF tools there are free, and OnyxIQ Basic, a YouTube growth tool, is free on Gumroad if that's your world.

Run the check on your own site before your next customer asks AI about you. Then tell me honestly in the comments: did it describe your business — or someone else's?
