Free AI Visibility Checker
See whether Google's Gemini mentions your brand when asked the kind of questions a real buyer would type.
Free, no signup. This may take 15-30 seconds — it runs 3 real questions against Gemini and waits for each answer.
This checks Gemini only (the free version) and runs 3 questions instead of the full 5-7 a signed-in account gets. This is a direct API answer from the model itself, not a measured Google AI Overview or live search result.
How this check works
This tool asks Google's Gemini a real question in your niche and reads the actual answer back, checking whether your brand or domain gets mentioned. It's a live API call to Gemini, not a prediction or an estimate — this is what the model actually said when asked.
Why AI visibility is a different question from SEO rankings
Ranking well in traditional Google search and being mentioned when someone asks an AI assistant a question are related but genuinely different problems. An AI assistant can answer a question directly, sometimes without the user ever clicking through to a website at all — so a brand can rank well in classic search results while still being invisible in the answers AI assistants give about its own category.
What affects whether a brand gets mentioned
AI models tend to mention brands that show up clearly and consistently across the pages they were trained on or can retrieve — clear positioning, specific claims, and being cited or discussed by other sites all help. A brand with a vague or generic description, or one that's barely mentioned outside its own website, is less likely to come up unprompted.
What to do next
If your brand isn't mentioned, check what your own site's pages actually say about what makes you different — vague, generic copy gives an AI model little to work with. Winking Toad's full AI Citation Readiness check (available with a free account) scores every page on your site for the signals that correlate with getting cited, not just this single live check.
