ChatGPT answers, unedited

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Visibility Checker if your goal is specifically “which of my landing pages are AI engines actually citing?” It reports top cited pages, mentions, citations, platforms, and topics. Semrush

semrush.com

A few good free alternatives:

• Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — probably the easiest no-signup baseline. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode and shows top cited pages. Ahrefs

ahrefs.com

• RankBits — useful if you want to test specific buyer prompts and see mentions/citations plus the cited source pages. Free scans are limited, but it's more actionable for landing-page work. RankBits
• SourceWatch — better for checking individual landing pages rather than getting a broad brand report; its free audit gives an AI-readiness score and page-level findings. SourceWatch

What I'd do with a tiny team

Take your top 10–20 landing pages, then build a simple spreadsheet with:

Run the same 5–10 high-intent prompts against the tools periodically. Don't treat the resulting “AI visibility score” as an SEO ranking—the more useful KPI is whether your specific commercial pages are being cited for the questions you care about.

If top landing pages + citations is the priority, I'd test Semrush and Ahrefs first; if page-by-page diagnosis is the priority, add SourceWatch.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ Free AI Visibility Checker. It’s no-signup and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode; importantly, it shows the top cited pages, not just a brand-level score. Ahrefs

ahrefs.com

If you specifically care about your top landing pages

Use this lightweight stack:

• Ahrefs — best free starting point for which pages are actually being cited. Its free report includes the top 5 cited pages. Ahrefs
• Frase GEO Score Checker — paste individual landing-page URLs to assess how citation-ready each page is for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Frase
• Praised — useful for a quick page-level AI visibility/readiness score; it accepts a specific URL and gives five free checks per hour. Praised
• Semrush Free AI Visibility Tool — better if you want domain-level visibility plus the pages generating the most AI citations; it allows three free checks/day. Semrush

My practical workflow: take your top 10–20 organic landing pages → run the important ones through a page-level checker → separately run your domain through Ahrefs/Semrush → record AI-mentioned / AI-cited / cited URL / prompt or topic in a simple spreadsheet.

One caveat: an AI readiness score isn't the same thing as actual AI visibility. Tools such as AuditZap or isvisible.ai mostly test crawler access, structure, robots.txt, etc.; they don't establish that ChatGPT or Google AI actually cites your page. isvisible.ai auditzap.io

If you tell me whether you're B2B SaaS, ecommerce, publisher, or local/service, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 free options for your use case.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Visibility Checker if your goal is specifically “which of my landing pages are getting cited by AI?” It accepts a domain and reports:

• AI visibility score
• Total AI mentions
• Visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews
• Pages on your site that drive the most AI citations
• Topics/prompts where you appear
• Estimated audience reached

It’s currently free up to 3 checks/day without registration. Semrush

semrush.com

One important distinction

If by “top landing pages” you mean your existing high-traffic pages, I’d pair the checker with your own analytics:

1. Export your top 10–20 organic landing pages from GA4/GSC.
2. Run your domain through Semrush's AI checker.
3. Compare those URLs against the pages driving AI citations.
4. Flag:

• high organic traffic + low/no AI citations → potential GEO/AEO opportunity
• high AI citations + high traffic → pages worth protecting/updating
• high AI citations + low organic traffic → potentially valuable content to expand

Ahrefs is the other free option I'd test. Its free AI Visibility Checker shows top cited pages and domains across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, with no signup. Ahrefs

ahrefs.com

For a tiny team, I wouldn't pay for a dedicated AI-visibility platform yet. Use these free snapshots to establish a baseline, then put your effort into the handful of landing pages where you see an actual citation gap.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Visibility Checker. It’s particularly useful because it reports which pages on your site are driving AI citations, not just whether your brand gets mentioned. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and AI Overviews. Semrush

semrush.com

My shortlist

• Best overall: Semrush — domain-level visibility, mentions, platforms, pages driving citations, topics/prompts. Good first-pass report for an SEO team. Semrush
• Best for checking individual landing pages: Praised — paste a specific URL and get an AI-visibility/GEO score for that page, including citation readiness. Free checks are available without signup. Praised
• Best for actual live prompt testing: RankBits — free scan gives buyer prompts, mentions, citations, competitors, and cited sources across ChatGPT, Google Search and AI Overviews. RankBits
• Best technical companion: DigiJaws — checks four AI surfaces plus 15 technical signals, so it's useful for figuring out why important pages aren't getting surfaced. DigiJaws

What I'd do with a tiny team

Don't try to monitor the entire site. Take your top 10–20 landing pages from Google Search Console/GA4 and run:

1. Semrush → identify which pages are already earning AI citations.
2. Praised → individually audit your highest-value pages that aren't showing up.
3. RankBits → run 3–5 important buyer queries and record whether you're mentioned, cited, or absent.
4. Put those results in a simple spreadsheet and revisit monthly.

One important distinction: "AI visibility score" isn't the same as actual AI visibility. Some tools estimate how citation-ready a page is, while others actually query AI engines. For prioritizing SEO work, I'd give much more weight to observed mentions + citations + the specific URLs being cited than to a proprietary 0–100 score. Broxly AI Praised

If your goal specifically is “show me which of my top landing pages are being cited by AI and which aren't”, Semrush + a lightweight spreadsheet is probably the best free starting point.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker. It’s the strongest free option if you want actual AI visibility data, rather than just a technical “is my page crawlable by AI?” audit.

• ahrefs.com — checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. The free report includes AI mentions, top topics, cited domains, and importantly, top cited pages. No signup required. Ahrefs
• praised.co — better if your priority is individual landing pages. You can paste a specific URL and get a page-level AI visibility/GEO score; five free checks/hour. Praised
• rankbits.com — useful for a quick competitive spot-check: it runs buyer prompts through ChatGPT, Google Search and AI Overviews and reports mentions/citations plus cited pages. RankBits

What I'd do with 20–50 top landing pages

Don't try to find one free tool that magically gives you a complete page-level AI dataset. Instead:

1. Pull your top 20–50 landing pages from GSC/GA4.
2. Run the highest-value pages through Praised for page-level readiness/visibility.
3. Run your brand + competitors through Ahrefs to establish your overall AI share/mentions and identify which of your pages are actually being cited.
4. Manually test ~10–20 high-intent prompts in ChatGPT/Perplexity and record: - Mentioned?
5. Cited?
6. Which URL was cited?
7. Which competitor was cited instead?
8. Which landing page should have been the answer?

That gives a tiny team a surprisingly useful AI visibility backlog without buying an enterprise GEO platform.

One important distinction: tools like isvisible.ai primarily tell you whether AI crawlers can access your site; that's useful technical hygiene, but it isn't the same thing as measuring whether AI actually mentions/cites your landing pages. isvisible.ai

If your specific goal is “show me AI visibility for each of my top landing-page URLs,” I'd pick Praised first, with Ahrefs as the brand-level cross-check.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

• Best overall: ahrefs.com — free, no signup, and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Importantly, it shows the top cited pages, so you can identify which landing pages are actually getting picked up by AI. Ahrefs
• Best if you want to enter a URL/domain: semrush.com — gives an AI visibility score, mentions, and specifically which pages on your site drive the most AI citations. Free use is limited to three checks/day. Semrush
• Best for auditing individual landing pages: praised.co — paste a specific URL and it evaluates crawlability, structured data, answer-first content, entity grounding and metadata. It’s more of an AI-readiness/citability audit than a true visibility measurement. Praised

What I'd do with a tiny team

Take your top 10–20 organic landing pages from Google Search Console, then run them through Ahrefs + Praised.

Create a simple sheet:

The key distinction is that “AI visibility” and “AI readiness” aren't the same thing. Ahrefs/Semrush are better for answering “Are AI systems actually mentioning/citing us?”; page checkers are better for “Why might this page be easy or difficult for AI systems to cite?”

If you only want one free tool, I'd pick Ahrefs because it gives you the broadest AI-platform coverage and actual cited-page data. Ahrefs

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker. It’s no-signup and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Importantly for your use case, it reports the top cited pages, so you can see which URLs are actually influencing AI answers. Ahrefs Ahrefs

ahrefs.com

My shortlist

• Ahrefs — best overall free starting point. Good for answering: “Which of our landing pages are getting cited, and where are competitors showing up instead?” The free report gives top 5 cited pages/domains and platform-level mentions. Ahrefs
• Semrush — best if you want a broader AI-search snapshot. Its free checker reports an AI Visibility Score, mentions, platforms, pages driving the most AI citations, topics/prompts, and estimated audience reach. It allows three checks/day without registration. Semrush
• AuditZap — best for checking individual landing pages. Paste a specific URL and it checks AI-crawler access, schema, semantic structure, freshness, authorship, question-style headings, etc. This is more of an AI-readiness/on-page diagnostic than actual visibility data. AuditZap
• FeatureOn — another useful page-level checker. It accepts an individual URL and gives an on-page AI visibility score based on crawlability, content, links, metadata and AI signals; currently one free check/day. FeatureOn

What I'd do with 10–20 important landing pages

Use Ahrefs or Semrush for the visibility layer, then manually make a little spreadsheet:

That distinction matters: AI visibility ≠ “is this page optimized for AI?” The former tells you whether AI systems actually surface/cite you; page checkers tell you whether there are technical/content reasons they might not.

If you only want one free tool: pick Ahrefs. If your specific goal is “give me AI visibility data for my top landing pages”, I'd use Ahrefs first, then AuditZap/FeatureOn on the pages that look weak.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid chasing a single “AI visibility score.” The useful split is:

1. Can AI systems access and understand my pages?
2. Do AI answers actually mention/cite my pages?
3. Which landing pages are most likely to win citations?

For top landing pages, these free checkers are worth trying:

My suggested tiny-team workflow

1. Export your top 20–50 landing pages from Google Search Console (highest clicks + highest conversions).
2. Run those URLs through a page-level checker: - Frase for GEO/content opportunities
3. Lantad for AI readability issues
4. Pick your top 10 commercial pages and manually test prompts like: - “best [category] for [use case]”
5. “[competitor] alternatives”
6. “who offers [service] in [market]”
7. Track: - Is your brand mentioned?
8. Is your URL cited?
9. Which competitor gets cited instead?
10. Which page type appears most often?

For a small team, I’d prioritize Frase + RankBits + Search Console over buying an enterprise AI SEO platform immediately. The biggest early wins usually come from improving the pages AI wants to quote: comparison pages, FAQs, product/service pages, original research, and pages with clear entity information. RankBits Frase

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

• Best free snapshot: ahrefs.com — no signup, and it checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Importantly, it shows top cited pages, so you can see which URLs are actually influencing AI answers. Ahrefs
• Best if you want your landing pages specifically: semrush.com — enter your domain and it reports the pages from your site that drive the most AI citations, alongside mentions, topics and prompts. It currently allows 3 free checks/day without registration. Semrush
• For a technical AI-readiness check: isvisible.ai — useful for checking whether AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Perplexity can actually access your site. That's complementary to visibility data, rather than a measure of which pages are winning citations. isvisible.ai

What I'd do with a tiny team

Take your top 10–20 landing pages by organic traffic/conversions, then use Ahrefs/Semrush to identify:

1. Which pages are already being cited by AI.
2. Which important landing pages get zero AI citations.
3. Which topics/prompts generate mentions.
4. Which competitor pages are being cited instead.
5. The gap between your highest-value pages and your AI-visible pages.

One caveat: the free checkers are mostly snapshots, not robust ongoing page-level monitoring. cituna.com If you want, I can also give you a $0 workflow for turning Google Search Console + GA4 + one of these checkers into an “AI visibility by landing page” spreadsheet.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid heavy “AI SEO platforms” at first and use a few free page-level checkers to baseline your top landing pages (money pages, product pages, solution pages, comparison pages).

My shortlist:

A lightweight workflow for a small team:

1. Pick your top 10–20 landing pages

• Highest organic traffic
• Highest conversion pages
• Pages targeting “best,” “alternative,” “vs,” “solution,” or category queries
• Run each through one page-level checker

• Record: - AI visibility/GEO score
• Missing schema
• Missing FAQs
• Weak entity/about signals
• Citation opportunities
• Manually test prompts

Use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini with queries like:

• “What are the best [category] tools for [audience]?”
• “Compare [your company] vs [competitor]”
• “Who should use [product/service]?”
• Create a simple spreadsheet

Columns:

• URL
• Primary intent
• Current AI mentions? (yes/no)
• Cited by AI? (yes/no)
• GEO score
• Top fixes
• Owner
• Date retested

If you only have time for one free checker, I’d start with Frase GEO Score Checker for page prioritization, then use IndexDoctor or DeepSEOAnalysis when a page looks weak to find technical causes. Frase DeepSEOAnalysis IndexDoctor.io

One caveat: these tools mostly measure AI-readiness signals (crawlability, structure, citability, schema, content clarity). They do not perfectly predict whether ChatGPT/Perplexity will cite a page, because AI retrieval changes constantly. Frase

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid tools that only give a vague “AI score.” You want something that helps you decide which landing pages to fix first and why.

My shortlist:

For a tiny team, I’d use this workflow:

1. Pick your top landing pages

• Highest organic traffic
• Highest conversion pages
• Pages targeting “best,” “alternative,” “vs,” “solution,” or comparison queries
• Run each URL through a page-level checker

• Start with Frase or Lantad.
• Record: - AI score
• Missing FAQs
• Weak entity signals
• Missing schema
• Thin sections
• Crawl/access issues
• Create a simple spreadsheet

Columns:

• URL
• Current organic traffic
• Conversion value
• AI visibility score
• Competitors cited instead
• Fix priority
• Prioritize fixes

• High-value page + low AI visibility = first
• Low-value page + low AI visibility = ignore for now

If you only pick one free checker for landing pages, I’d start with Frase’s GEO Score Checker because it’s closest to the question “is this specific page likely to perform better in AI answers?” Frase

For a small SEO team, I’d pair it with Semrush’s free AI visibility check once a month for stakeholder reporting. Semrush

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid chasing a single “AI visibility score” and use a free checker that tells you which pages are likely to be cited/retrieved and what to fix.

My shortlist:

For a tiny team, I’d use this workflow:

1. Pick your top 10–20 landing pages (highest traffic, revenue, or strategic keywords).
2. Run each URL through a page-level checker: - Frase or AIclicks for content/page improvements. Frase AI Clicks
3. Run your domain through a crawler-access checker: - Cituna or Lantad. Cituna Lantad
4. Manually test 10–20 buyer prompts in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini: - “Best [category] for [use case]”
5. “Compare [your product] vs [competitor]”
6. “What should I choose if I need [pain point]?”

A practical KPI sheet for in-house SEO:

• Landing page URL
• Organic traffic
• Conversion rate
• Target query/topic
• AI mentions? (Y/N)
• AI citations to your URL? (Y/N)
• Competitors cited instead
• Fix needed (FAQ, schema, clearer claims, comparison content, authorship, internal links)

If you only have time for one free tool, I’d start with Frase for page-level work and pair it with Semrush’s free checker for a broader brand snapshot. Frase Semrush

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with semrush.com. It’s free, no signup, and shows AI mentions, competitors, prompts/topics, and—importantly—which pages on your site are driving AI citations. Semrush

If your specific goal is “which of my top landing pages are actually getting cited?”, I’d use this stack:

• Semrush — best quick domain-level snapshot; identifies pages driving citations. Semrush
• rank.ai — better for manually testing your important buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, including whether your domain is actually cited. Rank.ai
• auditzap.io — useful for checking individual landing-page URLs for AI crawler access, schema, semantic structure, freshness, headings, etc. AuditZap

The lean workflow I'd use

Take your top 10–20 organic landing pages from Google Search Console. For each page, identify 3–5 high-intent questions it should answer. Then check those prompts in Rank.ai and record:

That gives you something much more actionable than a generic “AI visibility score”: which pages have actual AI citation opportunities.

One caveat: most free AI checkers are snapshots rather than reliable ongoing tracking, and AI answers vary between runs. Cituna

If you tell me whether you're B2B SaaS, ecommerce, local, publisher, etc., I can recommend the single free checker I'd use and a 30-minute workflow for your team.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid chasing a “single AI visibility score” and use a lightweight stack: one tool for AI mentions/citations and one for technical AI accessibility. Free tools are still pretty limited, especially for tracking individual landing pages over time. Cituna

Here are the best free options:

For a tiny team managing top landing pages, I’d do this:

1. Export your top 20–50 landing pages from Google Search Console (highest clicks + highest revenue pages).
2. Run each important URL through: - Lantad or AuditZap → “can AI read and extract this page?” Lantad AuditZap
3. Semrush or RankBits → “does AI actually mention us for buyer prompts?” Semrush RankBits
4. Prioritize fixes: - Pages that rank well but are not cited by AI
5. Pages with important commercial intent but weak entity/context signals
6. Pages where key information is buried in JS, tabs, images, or PDFs

A simple spreadsheet works well:

If you only pick one free checker for landing pages, I’d start with Lantad for page-level diagnosis, then use Semrush’s checker monthly for a broader AI visibility snapshot. Lantad Semrush

If your goal is AI visibility data for your top landing pages, I’d use Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker first.

ahrefs.com — It’s free with no signup and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Importantly, its report includes the top cited pages, so you can see which URLs are actually getting pulled into AI answers. Ahrefs

For a tiny SEO team, I’d stack these:

• Ahrefs — best for answering “Are we being mentioned/cited, and which pages are getting cited?”
• Semrush AI Visibility Checker — good second opinion; it gives an AI visibility score, mentions, platforms, and pages driving AI citations. Semrush

semrush.com

• AuditZap — better if you mean page-level technical AI readiness: paste individual landing-page URLs and it checks crawler access, semantic structure, schema, freshness, author attribution, etc. AuditZap

auditzap.io

• RankBits — useful for a quick live competitive snapshot: it tests buyer prompts and shows mentions, citations, competitors, and cited sources. RankBits

rankbits.com

My recommendation: take your top 10–20 landing pages from GA4/GSC, then use Ahrefs to establish AI visibility and AuditZap on the pages you want to improve. Don't over-index on the tool's proprietary 0–100 score; the more useful KPI is “Is this URL being cited for the queries that matter?”

If you tell me whether your site is B2B SaaS, ecommerce, local/service, or publisher, I can give you a free 30-minute workflow for auditing your top landing pages.

If you’re on a tiny in-house SEO team and specifically want AI visibility data for your top landing pages, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Search Visibility Checker. It’s one of the few free options that goes beyond a generic “AI readiness” score and reports which pages on your site are driving AI citations, plus the topics/prompts where you appear. Semrush

semrush.com

My shortlist

• Semrush — best overall for your use case. Free, no signup; gives AI visibility score, mentions, competitors, and pages generating the most AI citations. Semrush
• Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — good second opinion; its free checker covers Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini. Cituna
• VisibilityIQ — better if you want to inspect individual landing pages for AEO/GEO factors and prioritized fixes rather than measure actual brand visibility. VisibilityIQ
• CitedSpy — useful if your main question is “Does AI recommend us vs. competitors?” It checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Mode and gives prompt-level visibility/share-of-voice data. CitedSpy

One important distinction: tools like VisibilityIQ, Cituna, and similar checkers mostly tell you whether a page is technically prepared for AI crawling/citation. That isn't the same as measuring whether AI engines actually cite your landing pages. Cituna explicitly distinguishes crawler accessibility from actual AI visibility. Cituna

For a small team, I'd do this:

1. Pull your top 10–20 landing pages from Google Search Console/GA.
2. Run the domain through Semrush to identify which pages are already earning AI citations.
3. Run your highest-value landing pages individually through a page-level AEO/GEO checker.
4. Build a simple spreadsheet: URL → target topic → AI cited? → cited competitor → missing content/entity/schema signal → priority.

If you tell me whether your site is B2B SaaS, ecommerce, local/service business, or publisher, I can recommend the best free stack specifically for your situation.

If you’re a tiny in-house SEO team and specifically want AI-visibility data for your top landing pages, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

• ahrefs.com — best overall free snapshot. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and reports top cited pages. No signup required. Ahrefs
• semrush.com — another strong free option. It specifically shows which pages on your site drive the most AI citations, plus topics/prompts where you appear. Semrush
• auditzap.io — better if your question is “Is this particular landing page AI-ready?” You can paste an individual URL and get checks for crawler access, citability, structure, freshness, authorship, etc. AuditZap

What I'd do with a tiny team

Use Ahrefs or Semrush for the visibility baseline, then run your 10–20 highest-value landing-page URLs individually through AuditZap.

That gives you two different datasets:

1. Are we actually appearing/cited in AI answers?
2. Why might our important pages be difficult for AI engines to cite?

One caveat: free AI-visibility checkers are generally snapshots rather than ongoing monitoring, so don't treat the score as equivalent to Google Search Console rankings or GA traffic. Cituna

If you tell me roughly how many landing pages you have (e.g. 20, 100, 1,000), I can recommend the best free workflow for monitoring them without adding another expensive SEO platform.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Search Visibility Checker.

• semrush.com — free, no signup, up to 3 checks/day. It gives you an AI Visibility Score, mentions, platform breakdown, and importantly the pages on your site that drive the most AI citations. It covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews. Semrush
• ahrefs.com — also free/no signup. Particularly useful for your use case because it reports top cited pages and cited domains, plus mentions by AI platform and topic. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, AI Overviews and AI Mode. Ahrefs
• semrush.com — use this alongside visibility data if you want to know which landing pages are actually receiving estimated AI-referred traffic, rather than merely being cited. Semrush

What I'd do on a tiny team

Take your top 20–50 organic landing pages from Search Console/GA4 and make a simple sheet:

Run your domain through Ahrefs + Semrush, then use the results to identify high-traffic pages that aren't getting AI citations. Those are usually more actionable than chasing a generic "AI visibility score."

My pick: Ahrefs for the quickest free landing-page/citation snapshot; Semrush if you also want to connect AI visibility with AI traffic and conventional SEO data. Ahrefs Semrush

One caveat: free checkers are snapshots, not reliable ongoing measurement. AI answers vary, so don't treat a single visibility score as a KPI by itself. spottlo.com

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Search Visibility Checker. It’s unusually useful because you can enter your domain and it reports:

• AI Visibility Score
• Brand mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI
• Which pages on your site are driving the most AI citations
• Topics/prompts where you appear
• Estimated audience reached Semrush

semrush.com

If your priority is specifically top landing pages

I’d use two free checks together:

1. Semrush — best for answering “Which of our pages are actually getting cited?” Semrush
2. Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — good second opinion; it checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and shows its top cited pages. Ahrefs

ahrefs.com

One important distinction: tools like GeoDaddy, IsVisible, or GEO Score are more about AI crawlability/readiness of an individual URL—robots.txt, schema, semantic structure, etc.—rather than measuring whether your pages are actually appearing as sources in AI answers. GeoDaddy isvisible.ai

My tiny-team workflow: export your top 20–50 organic landing pages from GSC → run the important ones through Semrush/Ahrefs → make a simple sheet with URL | organic clicks | AI citations | AI mentions | target topic | competitor cited. That gives you a much more actionable AI-visibility backlog than a single GEO score.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

ahrefs.com — it’s free, requires no signup, and checks visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode. It also gives you the top cited pages, which is particularly useful for identifying which landing pages are already influencing AI answers. Ahrefs

My shortlist

• Ahrefs — best overall for your use case. Good if you want to see which of your pages are getting cited, not just whether your brand is mentioned. Ahrefs
• Semrush AI Search Visibility Checker — best alternative. Enter your domain and it reports AI visibility, mentions, platforms, topics, and pages driving AI citations. Semrush
• Semrush AI Overviews Checker — best if Google is your priority. Specifically looks at whether your pages appear in Google's AI Overviews and which queries/competitors matter. Semrush
• AnswerPeek — interesting if you want live buyer-query testing. It runs buyer-style prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews and shows who gets mentioned/cited. AnswerPeek

One important caveat

The free Ahrefs/Semrush checkers are primarily brand/domain-level visibility snapshots. If what you specifically mean is:

“Take my top 20 organic landing pages and tell me which ones are cited/retrieved by AI, how often, and for which prompts”

then the free tools aren't really a full replacement for an AI-monitoring platform. Ahrefs does expose cited pages and, separately, AI traffic/bot data, but ongoing custom-prompt tracking is part of its paid Brand Radar offering. Ahrefs Ahrefs

For a tiny team, I'd do this: run the free Ahrefs checker → export/list your top organic landing pages from GSC → manually test the 10–20 highest-value pages against a fixed set of commercial/informational prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. That gives you a surprisingly useful “AI visibility by landing page” baseline without buying another SEO platform.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Frase’s free tools if your goal is specifically top landing-page AI visibility, rather than just checking whether AI crawlers can access your site.

• frase.io — best fit for your use case. It has a page-level GEO Score Checker that evaluates an individual URL for how ready it is to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. It also has a domain-level AI Visibility Checker. Frase
• lumina-seo.com — particularly interesting if you have a list of important landing pages: it says you can batch up to 50 URLs and get per-page/per-engine scoring, including section-level citability and live AI probing. Lumina SEO
• ahrefs.com — excellent for a quick brand-level baseline across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. It also shows the top cited pages, which is useful for discovering which of your pages are already influencing AI answers. Ahrefs
• semrush.com — another good domain-level baseline; its free report includes an AI Visibility Score, mentions, topics/prompts, and pages driving the most AI citations. Semrush

What I'd do with a tiny team

Take your top 10–20 organic landing pages from Search Console/GA4 and run them through Frase or Lumina. Make a simple sheet:

Then use Ahrefs or Semrush once at the domain level to answer the separate question: “Are AI engines actually mentioning/citing our brand, and which pages are getting cited?”

One important distinction: tools like IsVisible.ai or AuditZap primarily test AI crawler accessibility/readiness—robots.txt, llms.txt, schema, etc.—rather than whether your pages actually appear in AI answers. isvisible.ai auditzap.io

If you only want one: Lumina looks the most directly aligned with “I have a bunch of top landing pages and want free AI visibility data on them,” because of the 50-URL batch option. Lumina SEO

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with ahrefs.com.

Why it’s the best fit:

• Free, no signup for the snapshot.
• Checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode.
• Shows top cited pages, which is especially useful if your goal is figuring out whether your landing pages are actually being surfaced/cited.
• Gives you mentions by platform and the topics triggering visibility. Ahrefs

One important caveat

If by “AI visibility data for top landing pages” you mean “take my top 20 organic landing pages and tell me which ones are getting cited in AI answers”, the free checkers generally aren't that granular.

I’d use this lightweight workflow:

1. Pull your top landing pages from Google Search Console/GA4.
2. Put the 10–20 highest-value URLs into a sheet.
3. Use Ahrefs’ free checker for the overall brand/domain picture and identify its top cited pages.
4. For individual pages, run a URL-level technical/citability audit with something like auditzap.io. It accepts a specific URL and checks things such as AI crawler access, semantic structure, freshness, author attribution and question-format headings. AuditZap
5. For actual query-level AI visibility, seomonitor.com is worth testing—it can take a domain, keyword, URL, or question and ties its report to real Google search demand. Its free first report requires no account. SEO Monitor

My pick: Ahrefs for the “are we visible/cited?” baseline, then a URL-level checker for the “which landing pages are AI-ready?” question.

If you tell me whether you’re using GSC, GA4, or both, I can give you a simple free workflow to turn your top 20 landing pages into an AI visibility scorecard without buying an enterprise GEO tool.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

ahrefs.com

Why it’s the best fit:

• Free, no signup, and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Ahrefs Ahrefs
• Crucially for your question, it shows the top cited pages associated with your brand—not just a generic visibility score. Ahrefs
• You can use it to identify which of your landing pages are already getting cited, then prioritize the pages that should be getting cited but aren't.

If you want a second free check

Semrush AI Search Visibility Checker is also excellent and gives you an especially useful view of which pages from your site drive AI citations, plus topics/prompts and estimated reach. It's free up to three checks/day. Semrush

semrush.com

One caveat

Neither free checker is really a page-by-page AI visibility tracker. They're better for discovering which URLs are being cited. For a tiny team, I'd combine that with your top landing pages from Google Search Console and make a simple spreadsheet:

Landing page → target topic → AI mentions → AI citations → competitors cited → action

That gives you a surprisingly useful lightweight GEO/AEO prioritization system without paying for an enterprise platform. Ahrefs' paid Brand Radar is the step up if you eventually need ongoing tracking, competitor benchmarking, and historical data. Ahrefs Help Center Ahrefs

If your real goal is “take my top 20 organic landing pages and tell me which ones are visible/cited in AI search”, I can also suggest the cheapest workflow to do exactly that.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Search Visibility Checker. It accepts a domain/URL and reports AI visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and AI Overviews, including which pages on your site drive the most AI citations. It’s free up to 3 checks/day without registration. Semrush

semrush.com

My shortlist

• Best overall: Semrush — strongest fit if you specifically want to identify top cited pages/landing pages, rather than just get a technical AI-readiness score. Semrush
• Best broad snapshot: Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, AI Overviews and AI Mode, and shows top cited pages. The free version is a limited snapshot. Ahrefs
• Best page-by-page diagnostic: Frase GEO Score Checker — paste an individual landing-page URL and it grades that page's readiness to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Useful when you've already identified your priority pages. frase.io
• Best genuinely lightweight option: SEOmonitor — lets you enter a domain, keyword, URL, or question and see whether ChatGPT/AI Overviews mention or cite you. The first report is free without an account. seomonitor.com

One important distinction: tools like Frase/VisibilityIQ are mostly asking “is this landing page technically/content-wise ready for AI citation?”; Semrush/Ahrefs are closer to “are AI systems actually mentioning/citing us, and which pages are getting cited?” frase.io visibilityiq.io

So if your goal is “take our top 20 landing pages and figure out which ones have AI visibility and which ones don't,” I'd use Semrush first, then run the weakest/highest-value pages through Frase.

If your goal is AI visibility data for your top landing pages, I’d use a combination rather than a single checker:

• Best overall free option: semrush.com — enter your domain and it reports an AI visibility score, mentions, the pages driving AI citations, and the topics/prompts where you appear. That makes it the closest fit to “which of my landing pages are actually getting visibility?” Semrush
• Best for page-level diagnosis: frase.io — paste individual landing-page URLs. It grades how ready each page is to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude and gives optimization suggestions. Frase
• Best quick competitor/brand benchmark: ahrefs.com — free, no signup, and shows AI mentions by platform plus the top cited pages and domains associated with your brand. Ahrefs

What I'd do on a tiny SEO team

Take your top 10–20 landing pages by organic traffic/conversions and run them through Frase for page-level readiness. Then use Semrush or Ahrefs to establish your brand-level AI visibility baseline.

The important distinction is that a page getting a high “AI readiness” score doesn't mean AI engines actually cite it. You want to track both:

Landing-page readiness → actual AI mentions/citations → competitor pages winning those citations.

If you give me your site/domain and roughly how many landing pages you have, I can also suggest a free, lightweight workflow for turning this into a monthly AI-visibility report.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Semrush’s free AI Visibility Checker. It’s particularly useful because it shows which pages on your site are driving AI citations, not just a generic “AI readiness” score. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode and reports top cited pages. www.semrush.com

Semrush Free AI Visibility Checker

My shortlist

If your actual question is “Which of my top organic landing pages are already being surfaced/cited by AI, and which aren't?” → use Semrush first.

A good tiny-team workflow would be:

1. Export your top 20–50 organic landing pages from GSC.
2. Run the domain through Semrush's free checker.
3. Compare its top cited pages against your top organic pages.
4. Flag pages that have high organic traffic/rankings but zero AI citations.
5. Manually test those pages against a handful of real buyer prompts in ChatGPT/Perplexity.
6. Prioritize pages where SEO performance is strong but AI visibility is weak.

One caveat: these free tools measure different things. A crawler/readiness score isn't the same as actual citation visibility. For your use case, I'd prioritize tools reporting real AI mentions/citations and the specific URLs cited, rather than a generic GEO score. www.frase.ioahrefs.com

If you tell me whether you're primarily optimizing B2B, ecommerce, SaaS, or local SEO, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 free tools and a 30-minute workflow.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker — it’s free, requires no signup, and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. Importantly for your use case, it shows the top cited pages associated with your brand, so you can see which URLs are already influencing AI answers. ahrefs.com

My shortlist

Semrush AI Visibility Checker reports your AI visibility score, mentions, topics/prompts, and pages from your site driving AI citations. www.semrush.com

AuditZap AI Visibility Checker is particularly useful if you already have a shortlist of top landing pages: paste each URL and it checks things like AI crawler access, semantic structure, freshness, authorship, and question-oriented headings. auditzap.io

One caveat: these tools don't give you a clean equivalent of “AI visibility = organic clicks by landing page.” AI visibility is generally measured through mentions, citations, prompts, and cited URLs, rather than actual traffic attribution.

What I'd do with a 1–2 person team

1. Pull your top 20–50 landing pages by organic traffic from GSC/GA4.
2. Run the domain through Ahrefs' free checker to establish your AI baseline.
3. Identify the pages/topics where competitors are being cited but you aren't.
4. Run your 10–20 highest-value landing pages individually through AuditZap.
5. Track a small KPI set monthly: AI mentions + cited pages + priority prompts won/lost.

If you tell me whether you're B2B SaaS, ecommerce, local/service business, publisher, etc., I can recommend the best free stack and a lightweight spreadsheet/dashboard setup for tracking those landing pages.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

Why it’s the best fit:

• Free, no signup
• Checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode
• Shows AI mentions, top topics, cited domains, and—most useful for you—top cited pages. ahrefs.com
• That makes it useful for identifying which of your landing pages are already earning AI citations and where your content gaps are.

If you specifically want to score individual landing pages

Try Frase’s free GEO Score Checker. It is explicitly page-level: paste a landing-page URL and it grades how ready that page is to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude, with improvement suggestions. www.frase.io

Another good free option is AuditZap’s AI Visibility Checker, which accepts a specific URL and checks things like crawler access, semantic structure, freshness, author attribution and question-style headings. auditzap.ioahrefs.com

My tiny-team workflow:

1. Use Ahrefs to identify your top AI-cited pages/topics.
2. Pull your 10–20 highest-value landing pages from GA/GSC.
3. Run those URLs through Frase to find page-level weaknesses.
4. Track changes monthly rather than obsessing over a single AI visibility score.

One caveat: tools calling themselves “AI visibility checkers” aren't all measuring the same thing. Some measure actual AI mentions/citations, while others mostly measure AI crawler accessibility and page structure. For the former, Ahrefs is the stronger starting point; for the latter, Frase/AuditZap are more useful. auditzap.ioahrefs.com

If your goal is AI visibility data for your top landing pages, I’d use Frase’s free GEO Score Checker first. It’s specifically page-level, rather than just giving you a domain-wide brand visibility score. It checks whether an individual URL is ready to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude and gives you optimization guidance. www.frase.io

Frase free AI/GEO tools

Best free options for a tiny SEO team

SEO CRO Audit — particularly interesting if you want one score combining SEO, UX, CRO, and AI visibility. It analyzes ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. seocroaudit.com

Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker — better for the complementary question: “Are AI systems actually mentioning/citing my brand, and which pages are getting cited?” Its free report includes top cited pages and domains. ahrefs.com

What I'd do with a 1–3 person team

Take your top 10–20 organic landing pages and run them through Frase (or SEO CRO Audit). Record:

• AI/GEO score
• crawlability / AI crawler access
• structured data
• answer-ready content
• citations/entities/authority signals
• biggest recommended fix

Then run your top 5–10 commercial prompts through Ahrefs/EdenRank to see whether your brand and pages actually appear in AI answers. EdenRank, for example, tests the same prompt across eight AI surfaces and reports mentions and citations. edenrank.com

That gives you a much more useful tiny-team KPI than an abstract “AI readiness” score:

Landing-page readiness → AI mention/citation → priority fix → recheck.

If you give me your CMS (WordPress/Webflow/Shopify/etc.) and roughly how many landing pages you have, I can narrow this to the best completely-free workflow with the least manual work.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker. It’s no-signup and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Importantly for your use case, the free report includes top cited pages—so you can see which URLs are actually influencing AI answers. ahrefs.com

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker

If you specifically want to audit individual landing pages

• Frase GEO Score Checker — page-level: paste a URL and it scores how ready that page is to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. First result is free without signup. www.frase.io

Frase free GEO tools

• Lantad — particularly useful for technical AI visibility: it compares the rendered page with the raw HTML AI crawlers receive and checks crawler access, structured data, headings, etc. Free scans, no signup. lantad.co
• Semrush AI Search Visibility Checker — better if you want a quick domain-level competitive view; it accepts a domain/URL and reports visibility across AI search. ahrefs.comwww.semrush.com

Semrush AI Search Visibility Checker

My tiny-team workflow: use Ahrefs to identify which landing pages are already getting AI citations, then run those URLs through Frase/Lantad to diagnose why they are or aren't AI-readable/citable. That gives you actionable page priorities without buying a full GEO platform.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid paying for a full AI visibility platform initially. The free tools are still a bit immature, so I’d combine one page-level checker with one brand/presence tracker.

My shortlist:

For a small team, I’d run this workflow:

1. Pick your top 10–20 landing pages:
   • highest organic traffic
   • highest conversion pages
   • strategic product/category pages

2. Run each URL through a page-level checker:
   • AuditZap or VisibilityIQ

3. Track fixes in a spreadsheet:
   • AI crawler access
   • schema issues
   • missing author/entity signals
   • unclear headings
   • weak answer sections
   • internal linking gaps

4. Monthly, run:
   • Ahrefs or Semrush for “are we appearing in AI answers?”

One caveat: most “AI visibility scores” are proprietary estimates, not a direct measurement of ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini rankings. For a tiny SEO team, the most actionable data usually comes from page structure + crawlability + citation readiness, not the score itself. auditzap.ioahrefs.com

If you only want one free tool for top landing pages, I’d start with AuditZap or VisibilityIQ. If you want one dashboard for the SEO lead, add Ahrefs’ free checker.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid chasing a huge “AI SEO platform” at first. Use free tools to answer three practical questions:

1. Are our important pages crawlable by AI?
2. Do AI engines understand and cite our pages?
3. Which landing pages need content/schema improvements?

Good free options:

For a tiny team, I’d run this workflow:

1. Export your top 20–50 landing pages from Google Search Console (highest clicks + highest conversions).
2. Run those URLs through SEO CRO Audit or VisibilityIQ.
3. Create a simple spreadsheet with:
   • URL
   • Organic clicks
   • Conversion value
   • AI visibility score
   • Missing schema?
   • Clear answer sections?
   • Author/entity signals?
   • Internal links?
4. Fix the pages with the highest business value first.

A few AI visibility signals worth checking manually:

• Does the page directly answer buyer questions?
• Are product/service facts easy for AI to extract?
• Are headings written around user questions?
• Is there strong internal linking from authoritative pages?
• Are organization/person/product schema entities complete?
• Are third-party sources mentioning your brand?

For a tiny team, I’d start with one URL-level checker + one brand-level checker rather than buying an enterprise GEO platform. visibilityiq.ioahrefs.comseocroaudit.com

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid tools that only give a vague “AI score.” You want something you can run on your top landing pages one by one and turn into fixes.

Good free options:

For a small team, I’d use this workflow:

1. Export your top 10–25 landing pages from Google Search Console (highest clicks + highest revenue pages).
2. Run each URL through one page-level checker (I’d start with SEO Analysis Checker or AIclicks). aiclicks.ioseoanalysischecker.com
3. Put results into a simple sheet:
   • URL
   • Current organic traffic
   • Conversion value
   • AI visibility score
   • Missing schema?
   • Weak answer sections?
   • Missing entity/trust signals?
   • Priority
4. Fix the pages that are both:
   • commercially important, and
   • easiest to make more “citable” by AI.

For actual AI-search monitoring (e.g., “does ChatGPT recommend us for best X software?”), free checkers are still limited. Pair the audits above with a manual monthly prompt set in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini using your money keywords and track mentions/citations in a spreadsheet.

If your goal is AI visibility data for your top landing pages, I’d start with Lumina’s free GEO Readiness Checker. It’s unusually well matched to an in-house SEO team because it can batch up to 50 URLs and scores pages across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Bing Copilot. lumina-seo.com

Lumina GEO Readiness Checker

My shortlist

One important distinction: a lot of “AI visibility” checkers are really GEO readiness audits—they inspect things like schema, crawlability, semantic structure, and citability. That's useful, but it isn't the same as measuring whether AI engines actually cite your pages.

For a tiny SEO team, I'd use a two-tool workflow:

1. Lumina → run your top 20–50 landing pages and export/prioritize the weakest pages.
2. Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker → establish the actual AI mention/citation baseline for your brand and see which domains/pages AI engines currently cite. ahrefs.com

If you mean “show me which of my individual landing pages are actually being cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini”, rather than “score each page for AI readiness,” that's a narrower requirement—and I can point you to the best free option for that specifically.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker. It’s no-signup and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Importantly, the report includes top cited pages, so you can see which URLs are actually getting pulled into AI answers. ahrefs.com

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker

But for your specific use case

If by “top landing pages” you mean “I have 10–50 important URLs and want an AI-visibility/readiness score for each one,” I’d use a page-level checker alongside Ahrefs:

• Frase GEO Score Checker — paste a URL and get a page-level assessment of how ready it is to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. The first result is free/no signup. www.frase.ioahrefs.com
• SEO CRO Audit — specifically designed around landing pages, combining SEO, UX/CRO, semantic structure, and AI visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. It currently gives 5 free analyses. seocroaudit.com
• AuditZap — another useful URL-by-URL checker; it evaluates crawler access, semantic structure, schema, freshness, author signals, and question-oriented headings. auditzap.io

My lean workflow:

1. Use Ahrefs to establish brand/category-level AI visibility and identify which pages are already being cited.
2. Take your top 10–20 organic landing pages and run them through Frase or SEO CRO Audit.
3. Put the results in a simple sheet: URL → organic traffic → conversions → AI visibility → cited? → key fix.
4. Prioritize pages with high business value + high organic traffic + weak AI visibility.

One caveat: these tools measure different things. AI visibility ≠ page AI-readiness. A page can be technically excellent for AI crawlers but never get cited because competitors have stronger authority/relevance. Ahrefs' checker is better for the former question (“Are we actually showing up?”), while the page-level tools are better for “What should I fix on this URL?” www.frase.ioahrefs.com

If you tell me roughly how many landing pages you need to check (10, 50, 500+), I can narrow this down to the best free workflow.

If you mean “which of my actual landing pages are getting cited/mentioned in AI answers?”, I’d start with Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker.

It’s free/no-signup and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. Importantly, its report includes top cited pages, not just a generic AI-readiness score. ahrefs.com

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d use these three differently:

SEO CRO Audit – Free Landing Page AI Visibility Audit specifically lets you enter a landing-page URL and scores it across AI visibility, SEO, UX, UI and CRO. seocroaudit.com

My practical recommendation:

1. Export your top 10–20 landing pages from GSC.
2. Run the important ones through SEO CRO Audit for page-level issues.
3. Run your brand + key competitors through Ahrefs to see which domains/pages AI engines are actually citing.
4. Don't treat a single AI-visibility score as gospel—AI responses vary between runs, so repeated checks matter. arxiv.org

If you tell me what you mean by “AI visibility data” (citations, AI Overview appearances, ChatGPT mentions, or an AI-readiness score), I can narrow this to the best genuinely-free option for your use case.

If you mean AI-search visibility for your important landing pages—i.e., which pages are getting cited/referenced by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.—I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker

Best free options

Ahrefs' free checker covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, but the free version is deliberately a snapshot rather than full historical/page-level monitoring. ahrefs.com Semrush likewise has a free AI visibility checker focused on how your brand appears across AI-generated answers. www.semrush.com

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I'd actually combine two free approaches:

1. Google Search Console → identify your top 10–20 landing pages by clicks/impressions.
2. Take the primary topic/query for each page and create ~3–5 natural-language prompts.
3. Run those prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI.
4. Record:
   • Brand mentioned?
   • Landing page cited?
   • Competitor cited instead?
   • Which third-party sources are influencing the answer?
   • Position/prominence of your brand
5. Recheck monthly rather than treating one AI response as definitive—AI visibility varies between runs and over time. arxiv.org

That gives you page-level AI visibility, which the free brand checkers don't really give you.

If you tell me whether your site is B2B, ecommerce, SaaS, publisher, or local, I can recommend the best free stack specifically for your top landing pages.

If you’re on a tiny in-house SEO team and want free data for your top landing pages, I’d use a small stack rather than one “AI visibility score.”

My picks

1. Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker — best free brand-level snapshot. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, and shows mentions, topics, cited domains, and top cited pages. No signup required. ahrefs.com

Best for: “Are we getting mentioned/cited, and which of our pages are involved?”

2. AuditZap AI Visibility Checker — probably more useful for your specific landing-page use case. You can enter an individual URL and it evaluates AI crawler access, schema/semantic structure, freshness, authorship, question-style headings, etc. Free and no signup. auditzap.io

Best for: “Is this particular landing page technically/content-wise ready to be cited?”

3. SEO CRO Audit AI Landing Page Audit — another page-level option that explicitly scores landing pages across SEO, UX, CRO, UI and AI visibility, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. It currently gives 5 free analyses. seocroaudit.com

Best for: quickly auditing your 5 highest-value pages.

What I'd do with a tiny team

Take your top 5–10 organic landing pages and put them in a simple sheet:

Use Ahrefs for the actual AI mention/citation picture and AuditZap/SEO CRO Audit for page-level diagnostics.

One caveat: don't treat a one-off AI visibility score as gospel. AI responses and citations are variable, so repeated measurements are much more meaningful than a single snapshot. arxiv.org

If you only want one free checker: I'd start with Ahrefs for visibility data, but AuditZap if your primary question is specifically “which of my landing pages should I fix for AI search?”

If you mean actual AI-search visibility—whether your pages/brand are being mentioned or cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews—rather than just an “AI-readiness” score, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker. It’s no-signup and reports AI mentions, platforms, topics, and the top cited pages. ahrefs.com

urlAhrefs Free AI Visibility Checkerturn0search0

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d use this stack:

urlAuditZap AI Visibility Checkerturn0search4 · urlIsVisible.aiturn0search1 · urlSemrush AI Search Visibility Checkerturn0search2

The important caveat: most free checkers don't give you a clean “visibility by landing page” metric. For your top 10–20 pages, I'd combine Ahrefs' cited-page data with individual URL audits. That gives you something actionable: which pages AI engines actually cite vs. which important pages are technically/content-wise prepared to be cited.

If you tell me what your top landing pages are (URLs or just page types), I can give you a lightweight free workflow to score them in a spreadsheet without buying an AEO platform.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker

It’s particularly useful because it checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode, and reports not just mentions but which domains and pages are being cited. No signup is required for the free snapshot. ahrefs.com

For your specific use case

If by “top landing pages” you mean “Which of my important URLs are actually getting visibility/citations in AI answers?”, I'd use this lightweight workflow:

1. Pull your top 10–20 landing pages from Google Search Console/GA4.
2. Run your brand/domain through Ahrefs' checker.
3. Look at the cited pages section and see whether those URLs overlap with your important landing pages.
4. For pages that aren't cited, manually test 5–10 high-intent prompts in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini.
5. Track a simple sheet:

URL → target topic → AI mentioned? → cited? → competitors cited → missing content/evidence

One caveat: the free Ahrefs checker is primarily brand/domain-level visibility, not a full free “give me an AI visibility score for every URL on my site” report. ahrefs.com

Semrush's free AI Search Visibility Checker is the other one I'd try; it accepts a domain/URL and analyzes visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. www.semrush.com

Semrush Free AI Search Visibility Checker

My pick: Ahrefs for the quickest free baseline; then use a spreadsheet + manual prompt checks for the page-level analysis until you have enough volume to justify a paid tracker.

If you’re on a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d start with Ahrefs’ free AI Visibility Checker.

Ahrefs Free AI Visibility Checker — it checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and importantly, its report includes the top cited pages/URLs, not just a generic AI-readiness score. No signup is required. ahrefs.com

For your specific use case

Semrush's free checker is useful if you want a second opinion on overall visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews. www.semrush.com

For individual landing pages, SEOCRO is more directly aligned: you paste a URL and it scores AI visibility alongside SEO, UX, UI and CRO signals. It currently allows five free analyses. seocroaudit.com

My lean workflow: take your top ~10 organic landing pages from GSC → run the pages through the URL-level checker → separately run your brand through Ahrefs → record which of those URLs actually get cited. That's more actionable than chasing a single "AI visibility score."

One caveat: there isn't yet a true Google-Search-Console-equivalent showing all ChatGPT/Perplexity citations. Third-party AI visibility numbers are generally based on running selected prompts and recording the resulting mentions/citations, so treat scores as directional rather than absolute. www.reddit.com

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid expensive “AI SEO suites” at first and use a few free/low-friction tools together. There isn’t one perfect free checker that gives complete AI visibility (ChatGPT + Google AI Overviews + Perplexity + Gemini coverage), but these are the most useful options:

For AI visibility of your top landing pages, I’d run this lightweight workflow:

1. Pull your top 20–50 landing pages
   • Use Google Search Console → Pages → sort by clicks/impressions.
   • Export the URLs.

2. Create a test prompt set

For each important page, ask AI engines:

• “What are the best [category] solutions?”
• “Compare [your product/service] vs alternatives”
• “Who are the leading providers of [topic]?”
• “What should I consider when buying [thing]?”

3. Check whether your brand/page appears

Track:

• Mentioned? ✅/❌
• Cited with a link? ✅/❌
• Competitors mentioned instead?
• Which pages are being referenced?

4. Improve pages that should be AI-citable

Prioritize:

• Clear definitions
• Original data/examples
• FAQs matching user questions
• Author/expert credibility signals
• Comparison tables
• Updated dates
• Strong internal linking

If you want an actual AI visibility dashboard, free options are more limited. Paid tools such as Semrush, Ahrefs, and Profound are moving into AI monitoring, but for a tiny team I’d first build a simple spreadsheet tracker from Search Console + manual AI checks.

A practical starter stack:

• Google Search Console → what already drives traffic
• Ahrefs Webmaster Tools → which pages have authority
• Perplexity/ChatGPT/Gemini checks → AI citations and mentions
• Spreadsheet → weekly AI visibility log

That will usually uncover the biggest AI-search opportunities without buying a platform.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d avoid paying for a big GEO/AEO platform at first. Use a mix of free page-level checkers + your own prompt tracking.

Best free options:

1. Best for individual landing pages: Roast AI Search Visibility Checker
   • Paste a specific landing page URL.
   • Checks whether AI systems can parse the page, including structure, schema, and extractable content.
   • Good for your “top 10 money pages” workflow. roast.page

2. Best quick technical AI-readiness scan: IsVisible.ai
   • Free, no signup.
   • Checks AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.), robots.txt, and AI accessibility signals.
   • Useful if you suspect your pages are invisible because bots can’t access them. isvisible.ai

3. Best for brand-level AI mentions: Semrush AI Search Visibility Checker
   • More focused on whether your brand appears in AI-generated answers and competitor comparisons.
   • Better for tracking “who gets recommended?” than auditing a single URL. www.semrush.com

4. Good landing-page audit alternative: AuditZap AI Visibility Checker
   • URL-level checks for AI crawler access, structure, schema, freshness, and citation readiness. auditzap.io

For a tiny team, I’d set up a simple monthly process:

• Pick your top 10–25 landing pages (highest revenue, conversions, or organic traffic).
• Run each through one page checker (Roast/AuditZap).
• Track 20–50 buyer prompts manually:
  • “best [category] for [use case]”
  • “alternatives to [competitor]”
  • “how do I choose [solution]”
• Record:
  • Was your brand mentioned?
  • Was your page cited?
  • Which competitors appeared?
  • What sources did AI prefer?

A free spreadsheet + Search Console + one of the above tools will usually get you 80% of the value before you need an enterprise AI visibility platform. www.techradar.com

If your goal is specifically “which of my landing pages are likely to get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity”, I’d start with Roast + manual prompt tracking. If your goal is “is our whole domain AI-readable?”, start with IsVisible.ai.

If your goal is AI visibility (how your pages appear in AI search and answer engines) rather than traditional SEO alone, there are a few free or freemium options that work well for a very small in-house team.

Here's how I'd prioritize them:

For a tiny team, I'd recommend this workflow:

1. Google Search Console: Export your top 20–50 landing pages by clicks and impressions.
2. Bing Webmaster Tools: Check that those same pages are indexed and performing there.
3. Ahrefs Webmaster Tools: Review backlinks, technical issues, and keyword coverage for those pages.
4. Peec AI (or Otterly if you prefer): Monitor whether your brand or key landing pages are cited or mentioned by AI search systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

If you want a completely free process

For each important landing page, track:

• Google clicks
• Google impressions
• Bing clicks
• Whether the page is indexed
• Whether AI assistants cite or recommend it for your target prompts (manual testing monthly)
• Organic traffic trend

A simple spreadsheet updated once a month is often enough until AI visibility becomes a larger acquisition channel.

If I could only pick two

• Google Search Console for SEO performance.
• Peec AI for AI visibility monitoring.

Together they give a good picture of whether your best landing pages are both ranking in traditional search and surfacing in AI-generated answers, without requiring an enterprise budget.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d prioritize free tools that show AI search visibility (ChatGPT/Google AI Overviews/Perplexity-style mentions) tied to your important pages, rather than broad SEO suites.

Here are the best free or freemium options:

For a tiny team workflow, I’d do this:

1. Export your top 20–50 landing pages
   • Use Google Search Console → Pages report.
   • Prioritize pages with:
     • high impressions
     • commercial intent
     • existing rankings in positions 3–20

2. Build an AI visibility test sheet

For each page, test prompts like:

• “Best [category] tools for [audience]”
• “What is the best [product/service] for [use case]?”
• “Compare [competitor] vs [your brand]”
• “Who offers [solution]?”

3. Track:
   • Was your brand mentioned?
   • Was your URL cited?
   • Which competitor appeared?
   • What facts/content did the AI rely on?

4. Use a free crawler/content checker for fixes
   • Make sure pages have:
     • clear entity/about information
     • original data/examples
     • FAQs matching real questions
     • strong internal links
     • author/company credibility signals

If you want a single free starting point, I’d use:

• Google Search Console + HubSpot AI Search Grader for a lightweight setup.
• Add a spreadsheet-based prompt tracker rather than paying for an AI SEO platform immediately.

For a tiny SEO team, the bottleneck is usually not collecting more AI visibility scores—it’s identifying which 10–20 pages are worth improving first.

For a tiny in-house SEO team, I’d focus on free or freemium AI visibility checkers that show whether your important landing pages appear in AI search answers (ChatGPT-style results, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, etc.). The space is still changing, so no free tool gives a perfect “AI rank tracker,” but these are practical options:

For actual AI answer visibility by landing page, many dedicated tools are paid, but some offer trials or limited free checks:

• Profound — AI search visibility monitoring (enterprise-focused).
• Otterly.AI — tracks brand visibility in AI answers.
• Peec AI — monitors AI search presence.

For a tiny team, I’d use a lightweight workflow:

1. Export your top 20–50 landing pages from Google Search Console.
2. For each page, test 5–10 real customer prompts in:
   • ChatGPT
   • Google AI Overviews (where available)
   • Perplexity
3. Record:
   • Was your brand mentioned?
   • Was the page cited/linked?
   • Which competitor appeared instead?
   • What content gap caused the miss?
4. Use Search Console + analytics to prioritize pages with high business value but weak AI visibility.

If you want a single free starting point: Google Search Console + a manual AI prompt tracking sheet will usually beat most free “AI SEO score” tools for a small team.
