ChatGPT answers, unedited

If you’re new to AI visibility and want something you can understand at a glance, I’d start with Loamly.

• Loamly AI Visibility Checker — free, no signup, and it runs 50 buyer-style prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. It gives you a visibility score, competitor gaps, platform-by-platform results, and an example report. This is probably the closest match to “give me a readable report from a few sample queries.” www.loamly.ai
• Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — also free/no signup. It checks your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews and shows mentions, topics, and cited pages. Good if you want a more established SEO-tool perspective. ahrefs.com
• Algomizer AI Visibility Audit — particularly good if you specifically want to enter your own sample queries. It runs the query across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity and produces a consolidated audit with competitor rankings and recommendations. audit.algomizer.com
• Massive AI Visibility Checker — lets you enter a brand + keyword and see live results across up to five AI/search engines; you can save/share the result. www.joinmassive.com

My pick for your use case: Loamly if you want the easiest beginner-friendly report; Algomizer if you already have 3–5 specific queries you want to test.

One distinction that's worth knowing: tools like isvisible.ai primarily test whether AI crawlers can access your website, whereas the tools above test whether AI actually mentions/recommends your brand in answers. For “AI visibility” as a marketing concept, the latter is usually what you want to see first. isvisible.ai

If you tell me what kind of business/site you're testing, I can also give you 5 good sample AI queries to plug into one of these so your first report is meaningful.

If you’re new to AI visibility and want something you can understand at a glance, I’d start with audit.algomizer.com. It lets you enter an actual query, checks it across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, and produces a report with visibility, competitor rankings, and recommendations. It’s free, requires no signup, and is designed for individual queries rather than just a technical website audit. Algomizer

A few other good options:

• edenrank.com — particularly nice for beginners because it returns the actual AI answers and citations, plus a simple 0–100 score. Free, no signup, and you can test a prompt. EdenRank
• loamly.ai — runs 50 industry-specific buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini and gives you a score, competitor gaps, and recommended fixes. Loamly
• searcheye.io — more polished if you want something report-like to share; it shows visibility by engine, competitor share, and the sources behind answers. SearchEye

For your specific use case — “a few sample queries + readable one-page report” — I'd try Algomizer or EdenRank first. They get you closest to seeing “I asked these questions, here's what the AIs said, and here's where my brand showed up.”

One caveat: tools that merely check robots.txt/llms.txt (like IsVisible) measure AI crawlability, not whether AI assistants actually recommend you. That's useful, but it's a different thing from AI visibility. isvisible.ai

If you’re just getting started, I’d try Algomizer’s free AI Visibility Audit first. It’s unusually close to what you’re describing: you enter a specific query (e.g. “best CRM for small businesses”), and it checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then gives you a consolidated report with visibility, competitors, and an optimization roadmap. No signup is required. audit.algomizer.com

A few other good beginner options:

• Loamly — probably the easiest to read. It generates 50 buyer-style prompts and gives you a score, competitor gap map, platform breakdown, and concrete next steps. www.loamly.ai
• SearchEye — good if you want a clean, shareable report showing your brand vs. competitors across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Free and no account required. searcheye.io
• Routeless — particularly useful if you want to see the actual questions, AI answers, and citations, rather than just a score. audit.algomizer.comwww.loamly.aiwww.routeless.io
• FogTrail — best if a PDF report is important; it checks five AI engines and emails a report with per-query citation status and competitor comparisons. fogtrail.ai

My pick for your use case: start with Algomizer if you already have 3–10 sample queries you want to test. Start with Loamly if you don't know which queries to use yet.

One important distinction: tools like isvisible.ai are more about whether AI crawlers can access your website (robots.txt, llms.txt, etc.), rather than whether AI actually recommends you for buyer questions. That's useful later, but probably not what you're asking for. isvisible.ai

If you give me 3–5 sample queries + your website/company, I can also tell you which of these tools is the best fit and what a good one-page AI visibility report should contain.

If you’re new to AI visibility and want something you can understand at a glance, I’d start with Algomizer’s free AI Visibility Audit. It lets you enter a specific sample query and checks it across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then gives you a single report with visibility, competitor rankings, and recommendations. No signup or credit card is required. audit.algomizer.com

A few good alternatives:

• PageLens AI Visibility Audit — probably the most readable report-style presentation. It shows a visibility score, what each AI says, where you appear, and which competitors are getting citations. It runs 10 buyer prompts across four models. pagelens.ai
• AnswerPeek — very beginner-friendly: it generates buyer-style questions, runs them through ChatGPT and Perplexity, and gives you a 0–100 score plus the actual answers. www.answerpeek.com
• FogTrail — best if you specifically want a PDF you can hand to someone. Its free scan covers five AI engines and emails a PDF showing per-query citations and competitor visibility. It takes about 24 hours. audit.algomizer.compagelens.aifogtrail.ai

For your use case, I'd pick PageLens or Algomizer. If you tell me the industry/business type and give me 3–5 sample queries you're thinking of, I can also tell you exactly what to measure in the report so you don't get distracted by the jargon.

If you're new to AI visibility and want something you can run on a few sample queries and turn into a readable one-page report, I’d start with Algomizer.

• Best fit: Algomizer AI Visibility Audit — free, no signup, and you enter an actual query. It checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity and produces a single audit with visibility scores, competitor rankings, and an optimization roadmap. audit.algomizer.com
• Best for a polished brand snapshot: Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — free/no signup and gives mentions, platforms, topics, competitors and cited domains. It's more of a brand-level snapshot than a custom multi-query report. ahrefs.com
• Best if you specifically need a PDF: FogTrail Free AI Visibility Scan — runs queries across five AI engines and emails you a PDF report showing, per query, whether you're cited, mentioned, or invisible. The tradeoff is that it takes about 24 hours. fogtrail.ai
• Good beginner scorecard: OtterlyAI AI Visibility Scorecard — tests 10 non-branded prompts across ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews and gives you a 0–100 score, letter grade, and prioritized recommendations. geo.otterly.ai

My pick for your use case: start with Algomizer if you want to understand “What happens when I ask AI these 3–5 questions?” rather than just getting a technical website audit.

If you're doing this for a client pitch, I'd actually run 5 carefully chosen prompts and consolidate the outputs into a simple one-page “AI Visibility Snapshot”: visibility %, position, competitors mentioned, citations, and 3 recommendations.

If you're just getting started and want something you can actually read rather than a giant SEO dashboard, I'd start with Algomizer AI Visibility Audit.

• Free, no signup
• You enter an actual query, e.g. “best CRM for small businesses”
• It checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity
• Gives you a single report with visibility, competitor rankings, and what to improve. audit.algomizer.com
• Good fit if you specifically want to test a few sample queries rather than just audit your website.

Two other good beginner options

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker — probably the easiest starting point if you want a polished, understandable snapshot. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and shows mentions, topics, and cited sources. No signup. ahrefs.com

Loamly AI Visibility Checker — particularly nice if you want a more report-like output. It runs 50 buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini and gives you a score, competitor gap map, platform breakdown, and suggested fixes. www.loamly.ai

My pick: start with Algomizer if you already have 3–5 queries you care about; start with Ahrefs if you want the simplest first-look report.

If you give me your website/brand + 3 sample queries, I can also suggest exactly what to test and what numbers in the report are actually worth paying attention to.

Yes. If you’re new to AI visibility and want something you can actually read/share rather than a giant SEO dashboard, I’d start with these:

1. Algomizer AI Visibility Audit — best fit for your exact use case.

You enter a search query, and it checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then gives you a single audit with visibility scores, competitor rankings, and recommendations. It says it’s free, no signup, and takes under a minute. audit.algomizer.com

2. Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker — best if you want a polished, beginner-friendly brand snapshot.

It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, showing mentions, topics, and cited domains. The free version is a one-time snapshot with limited results. ahrefs.com

3. Loamly AI Visibility Checker — best if you want a more substantial report.

It runs 50 buyer-style prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini and gives you a visibility score, competitor gaps, platform breakdown, and recommendations. No signup is required. www.loamly.ai

4. ModelMention AI Visibility Audit — another simple option.

It specifically focuses on where your brand appears, which competitors outrank you, and opportunities to improve; the free audit requires no signup. modelmention.io

What I'd use first

For a few sample queries, I'd pick Algomizer. You can give it questions like:

• “What are the best [category] companies for small businesses?”
• “Best [product/service] in [city]”
• “[Problem] — what are the best solutions?”
• “Compare [your brand] vs [competitor]”

That gets you closer to the actual “Would AI recommend my company when a prospect asks this?” question, rather than merely checking whether your website is crawlable.

If by “one-page report” you mean something client-ready that you could export/send as a PDF after testing 5–10 specific prompts, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 free tools specifically for that workflow.

If you’re just getting started with AI visibility and want something readable rather than a giant SEO dashboard, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker

It gives you a compact snapshot covering ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, including:

• total AI mentions
• mentions by platform
• top topics/prompts
• top cited domains
• top cited pages

It’s free, requires no signup, and the output is specifically designed as a limited one-page-ish snapshot. ahrefs.com

If you specifically want to test your own sample queries

I'd actually try Algomizer too:

Algomizer AI Visibility Audit

You enter an actual query such as “best CRM for small businesses”, and it checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, giving you visibility scores, competitor rankings, and an optimization summary. It says the audit is free, no signup, and takes under a minute. audit.algomizer.com

My beginner recommendation: use Algomizer for 3–5 specific queries you care about, then use Ahrefs for the broader brand-level snapshot. That gives you a much better feel for what “AI visibility” actually means before paying for a monitoring platform.

If you’re new to AI visibility and specifically want something free, readable, and report-like for a handful of sample queries, I’d start with Algomizer.

Algomizer free AI visibility audit — You enter a customer-style query, and it checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity in real time. It gives you visibility scores, competitor rankings, mentions, and recommendations. It says it’s free, requires no signup, and produces the report in under a minute. audit.algomizer.com

A few other good options

• Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — probably the easiest starting point for a beginner. No signup; gives you mentions by AI platform, top topics, cited domains/pages, etc. ahrefs.com
• RankSurf AI Visibility Scan — particularly relevant if you want per-query results. Its free scan runs 10 industry-relevant buying queries against ChatGPT and shows mentions, citations, and fixes. ranksurf.com
• ModelMention free audit — another simple no-signup report covering ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. modelmention.io

One caveat: tools differ in what they mean by "visibility." Some measure whether your brand is mentioned, while others focus on whether your website gets cited. For learning the basics, I'd favor a tool that shows the actual queries + AI answers + competitors/citations, rather than just handing you a score.

If your goal is “give me 5–10 queries and produce a clean one-page PDF I can show someone”, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best free options specifically for that use case.

If you’re new to AI visibility and want something you can understand at a glance, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

It’s particularly beginner-friendly because it:

• Checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode.
• Gives you a simple visibility snapshot rather than making you interpret raw data.
• Shows which prompts/topics mention your brand, competitors that appear, and which sites get cited.
• Requires no signup for the free check. ahrefs.com

If you specifically want a one-page report

I'd also try Algomizer’s free AI Visibility Audit. You enter an actual query such as “best CRM for small businesses”, and it compares your brand across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It says the audit is free, requires no signup, and produces a consolidated report. audit.algomizer.com

Another good option is Loamly’s free AI Visibility Check. It runs 50 buyer-oriented prompts across four AI platforms and presents a visibility score, competitor gaps, platform breakdown, and recommended fixes. www.loamly.ai

My pick for a beginner:
Ahrefs → easiest first look.
Algomizer → better if you want to experiment with your own sample queries.
Loamly → better if you want a more structured “here's what to fix” report.

If you tell me what kind of business/site you're testing, I can also suggest 5–10 good sample AI queries to run so your first report is actually meaningful.

If you're just getting started, I’d try Algomizer first. It’s unusually close to what you described: you enter an actual query, and it checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then produces a single visibility audit with mentions, competitor rankings, and recommendations. It says the audit is free, requires no signup, and takes under a minute. audit.algomizer.com

Try Algomizer's free AI visibility audit

A few other good free options

• ModelMention — probably the simplest beginner-friendly option. Enter your site and get a report showing how often AI recommends you, which competitors appear instead, and opportunities to improve. No signup. modelmention.io

ModelMention free AI visibility audit

• Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — useful if you want something from an established SEO platform. It checks your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, including mentions and cited domains. The free version is more of a limited preview. ahrefs.com

Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker

• Routeless — worth trying if you specifically want a report with the actual questions, AI answers, and cited sources rather than just a score. Their current free report is positioned as a roughly three-minute analysis. www.routeless.io

Routeless free AI visibility report

One important beginner tip: don't put too much weight on a single visibility score. AI answers vary between runs, so for a meaningful sample you want several realistic queries and ideally repeated checks over time. Recent research specifically cautions against treating one-off AI visibility measurements as stable rankings. arxiv.org

If your goal is “give me a clean one-page PDF I can show a client/boss after testing ~5–10 queries,” I'd narrow the list differently.

If you're new to AI visibility and mainly want something you can understand at a glance, I’d start with Loamly.

Loamly free AI Visibility Checker

Best beginner options

1. Loamly — best fit for your use case

• Free, no signup
• Runs 50 buyer-style prompts
• Checks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini
• Gives you a visibility score, competitor gap, platform breakdown, and suggested fixes
• They specifically show an example report, so you can see what you're getting before using it. www.loamly.ai

2. Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — simplest
Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker

No signup required. It checks your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews and gives you mentions, platforms, topics, and cited domains. ahrefs.com

3. Discoverable — good if you want a quick snapshot
Discoverable AI Visibility Checker

It gives a free score, whether AI names you, competitors ahead of you, and your citation gap. The fuller report contains the actual prompts and answers. bediscoverable.ai

What I'd do

For a first experiment, don't overcomplicate it. Put your company/site into Loamly and look at the report for 5–10 minutes.

The useful questions are:

Does AI mention me?
Who does it recommend instead?
What sources does it trust when making those recommendations?
What questions am I currently invisible for?

One caveat: don't treat a single AI-visibility score as gospel. AI answers can vary substantially between runs, so visibility is better understood as a pattern over multiple queries rather than one definitive ranking. arxiv.org

If you tell me what kind of business/site you're testing, I can also give you 5–10 sample AI-visibility queries that would make a good one-page starter report.

If you’re brand-new to AI visibility and mainly want a readable, one-page report from a handful of sample queries, I’d start with Routeless. Its free report is designed to show the actual questions asked, AI answers, competitors, and cited sources—not just a mysterious visibility score. www.routeless.io

Routeless free AI visibility report

A few good free options

My pick for you: use Routeless first. If you're learning the basics, seeing what the AI actually answered and which sources it cited is much more useful than starting with an abstract 0–100 score.

One caveat: AI visibility is inherently noisy—identical queries can produce different answers at different times—so treat a tiny sample as a baseline, not a definitive score. arxiv.org

If you tell me your business/site and 3–5 sample queries, I can also suggest exactly what to test and what to look for in the report.

If you’re just getting started and want something free, simple, and readable rather than a giant SEO dashboard, I’d start with Loamly’s free AI Visibility Check.

Why it fits:

• Free, no signup
• Tests 50 buyer-style prompts
• Checks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini
• Gives you a single AI Visibility Score
• Shows which competitors get cited instead
• Includes platform-by-platform results and suggested fixes
• The example report is presented as a fairly digestible summary rather than a huge analytics dashboard. www.loamly.ai

Another good option

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker is probably the easiest if you want to type in a brand name and quickly see what AI search says about it. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, and reports mentions, topics, and cited domains/pages. ahrefs.com

One caveat: these tools generally generate their own sample prompts rather than letting you arbitrarily run just 3–5 queries. If what you specifically want is:

“Here are five exact questions my customers ask → run them → give me a clean one-page report showing whether we're mentioned, who beats us, and what sources AI cites”

that's a slightly different requirement. I can find you the best free tool specifically for that workflow.

If you’re just starting with AI visibility (GEO/AEO) and want a free, readable one-page report from a few sample queries, I’d start with these:

1. urlAlgomizer AI Visibility Auditturn0search5 — probably the closest match to “enter a few queries → get a quick report.” It’s designed around checking how brands appear across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, with visibility scores and competitor-style comparisons. audit.algomizer.com

2. urlGrowthOS AI Visibility Reportturn0search4 — good if you want a more marketing-friendly snapshot. It focuses on how AI assistants describe a brand, competitor context, and suggested priorities. www.usegrowthos.com

3. urlRouteless AI Visibility Reportturn0search2 — aimed at showing what AI answers say about a business, including the queries tested and evidence behind the results. www.routeless.io

4. urlIsVisible.ai AI Visibility Auditturn0search0 — simpler and more technical: useful for checking whether AI crawlers can access your site (robots.txt, llms.txt, crawler access), though it’s less about “what answers do models give for my queries?” isvisible.ai

For a first experiment, I’d do this:

• Pick 5–10 buyer questions, not brand-name searches. Example:
  • “best accounting software for small businesses”
  • “top agencies for Shopify SEO”
  • “alternatives to [competitor]”
  • “how do companies solve [problem]”
• Run them through one of the query-based tools above.
• Save the report as a baseline and repeat monthly.

A simple manual free alternative is also surprisingly useful: put your queries into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity yourself and record:

• Was my brand mentioned?
• Which competitors appeared?
• What sources were cited?
• What facts did the AI use?

That gives you the raw material most paid AI visibility platforms eventually package into dashboards. www.techradar.com

If you tell me whether you mean your own website/brand or just learning AI visibility with generic examples, I can narrow this to the best fit.

If you’re just starting with AI visibility (AEO/GEO) and want a simple, readable one-page report from a handful of sample queries, I’d start with one of these free options:

Best fit for a quick beginner report

urlAhrefs Free AI Visibility Checkerturn0search0

• Best for: a fast “does my brand appear in AI answers?” snapshot
• Gives: AI mentions, platforms checked, topics/prompts that trigger visibility, and cited domains/pages
• Good if you want something you can screenshot or share internally. ahrefs.com

urlLoamly AI Visibility Checkturn0search3

• Best for: a more report-like beginner experience
• Gives: a visibility score, competitor comparisons, citation evidence, and suggested fixes. It says the free check runs buyer-style prompts across several AI systems and produces a report-style output. www.loamly.aiahrefs.com

urlDiscoverable AI Visibility Checkerturn0search2

• Best for: seeing “who gets recommended instead of me”
• Gives: visibility score, competitor mentions, and citation gaps. bediscoverable.ai

If you want to test your own exact queries

Many free checkers are brand-first (enter a domain/name, then they generate prompts). For a small manual sample, I’d do:

1. Pick 5–10 real customer questions, e.g.:
   • “Best [category] for small businesses”
   • “Alternatives to [competitor]”
   • “Who offers [service] in [location]?”
2. Run them in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude.
3. Record:
   • Was your brand mentioned?
   • Was it recommended?
   • What sources were cited?
   • Which competitors appeared?

That manual spreadsheet often gives a clearer baseline than a single automated score because AI answers vary between runs. arxiv.org

For a first experiment, I’d try Ahrefs + Loamly: one gives a quick benchmark, the other gives a more “client report” feel. www.loamly.aiahrefs.com

If you're just getting started with AI visibility (sometimes called LLM SEO or AI search optimization), there are a few free tools that can generate simple, readable reports without requiring enterprise software.

Here are the ones I'd recommend first:

1. Peec AI
   • Free tier available.
   • Shows whether your brand appears in responses from AI systems.
   • Easy-to-read dashboard rather than raw data.
   • Good if you want a quick overview.

2. Profound
   • Offers demos and limited free access depending on current availability.
   • Designed specifically for AI search visibility.
   • Reports focus on prompts, citations, and competitors.

3. Otterly.AI
   • One of the simplest interfaces.
   • Tracks how AI assistants answer specific prompts.
   • Good for monitoring a small set of questions over time.

4. Scrunch AI
   • More focused on enterprise, but its public resources and demos are useful for understanding AI visibility reports.

If you want something completely free

You can build a useful one-page report yourself using ChatGPT or another AI model:

1. Choose 5–10 representative customer questions, for example:
   • "Best payroll software for nonprofits"
   • "How do I reduce shipping costs?"
   • "Top CRM for small law firms"

2. Ask multiple AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) each question.

3. Record:
   • Whether your brand is mentioned.
   • Where it appears (1st, later, or not at all).
   • Whether there's a link or citation.
   • Which competitors are mentioned.

4. Put the results into a simple table with an overall visibility score.

For someone learning AI visibility, this manual approach is surprisingly effective because you see exactly how different models describe your business.

If your goal is simply to show a client or your boss a clean one-page PDF, I'd start with Otterly.AI or Peec AI. They have the gentlest learning curve and produce reports that are understandable without deep technical knowledge.

If you're just getting started with AI visibility (sometimes called LLM SEO or AI search optimization), there are several free tools that can generate a simple, readable report without requiring a large enterprise setup.

Here are the best options:

1. Peec AI (free tier)
   • Lets you test prompts against AI search engines.
   • Shows whether your brand appears in responses.
   • Easy dashboard with visibility over a handful of queries.
   • Good if you want something polished.

2. Otterly.AI
   • Designed specifically for AI search monitoring.
   • Free plan typically lets you monitor a limited number of prompts.
   • Reports are easy to read and compare over time.

3. Profound
   • Mostly aimed at enterprises, but offers demos and limited access.
   • Excellent visualization of citations and AI visibility if you can access it.

4. Goodie AI Search Grader
   • One-off grading tool.
   • Paste a domain and get a simple report.
   • Good for getting an initial snapshot.

5. Build your own with ChatGPT (free)
   • Pick 5–10 representative questions your customers would ask.
   • Ask multiple AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) the exact same questions.
   • Track:
     • Is your company mentioned?
     • Is it recommended?
     • Is your website cited?
     • Which competitors appear?
   • Put the results into a spreadsheet and score each query. This gives you a surprisingly useful baseline at no cost.

If you want a one-page executive report

For a client or internal stakeholder, I would use either:

• Otterly.AI for ongoing monitoring, or
• Goodie AI Search Grader for a quick snapshot.

A good one-page report typically includes:

• Overall AI visibility score
• 5–10 sample prompts tested
• Whether your brand appeared
• Competitors mentioned
• Sources/citations used by AI
• Top opportunities (e.g., add comparison pages, FAQs, structured content)

If your goal is learning rather than buying software, you can get 80–90% of the value by manually evaluating 10 carefully chosen prompts and summarizing the results in a one-page table. That also helps you understand why AI systems are or aren't mentioning a brand before investing in a paid platform.

If you're just getting started with AI visibility (sometimes called LLM SEO, AI search optimization, or brand visibility in AI assistants), there are a handful of free tools that can generate a simple report without requiring a big enterprise setup.

Here are the ones I'd recommend, in order of ease of use:

If you’re new to AI visibility (how often and how your brand/content appears in AI answers from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.), a few free tools can give you a simple report-style view from sample queries.

Here are good starting points:

For a quick, free “show me something readable for a few queries” workflow, I’d start with:

1. Pick 5–10 real user questions your customers might ask.
   • Example: “best project management tools for small teams”
   • “alternatives to [your product]”
   • “how to choose [your service]”

2. Run them manually in:
   • ChatGPT
   • Claude
   • Gemini
   • Perplexity

3. Record:
   • Was your brand mentioned?
   • Where did the AI get the information?
   • Were competitors mentioned?
   • Were there citations/links?
   • What content would likely improve your chances?

If you want a single-page executive-style report, tools like Peec AI or Otterly.AI are closer to that format than DIY spreadsheets.

For a first experiment, I’d avoid broad “AI SEO score” tools that produce a single number without showing the actual queries and evidence. The useful output is usually query → answer → mentions → citations → recommended fixes.

If you're just getting started with AI visibility (sometimes called LLM SEO or AI search optimization), there are several free tools that can generate a simple, readable report without requiring a full enterprise platform.

Here are the best options:

1. Peec AI
2. Free tier available.
3. Shows whether your brand appears in responses from multiple AI models.
4. Easy-to-read dashboards and visibility scores.
5. Good if you want a quick overview rather than raw data.

2. Profound (free tools)
3. Offers free AI search/visibility resources and tools.
4. More focused on marketers and brands.
5. Reports are generally presentation-friendly.

3. Otterly.AI
4. Has a free plan or trial depending on current availability.
5. Lets you monitor prompts and see whether your brand is mentioned.
6. Reports are clean and easy to share.

4. Goodie AI Search Grader
5. Designed as a quick audit.
6. Generates a concise report for a website based on AI search visibility.
7. Good for a first look.

5. Use ChatGPT itself

If you only have a handful of sample queries, you can often get a useful one-page report by asking ChatGPT to evaluate them. For example:

Analyze my AI visibility for these 10 prompts. For each prompt, summarize whether my brand appears, whether the answer is accurate, who is cited instead, and recommend one improvement. Finish with a one-page executive summary.

This won't measure every AI model, but it's useful for qualitative reviews.

If you want a polished PDF-style report

For a client or stakeholder, I'd recommend:

• Otterly.AI for the cleanest free reporting experience.
• Peec AI for the best balance of usability and visibility tracking.
• ChatGPT to turn the findings into a one-page executive summary.

A typical one-page report includes:

• Overall AI visibility score
• 5–10 representative prompts
