Visibility
How often AI mentions you when customers ask for what you sell. Measured per engine, never averaged.
Do ChatGPT and Google recommend your business?
SearchedBy is a free check, made in Berlin, that asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI the questions your customers ask, and shows you whether they name your business or your competitors.
About 2 minutes. No account needed: your email and the code we send you. Our team reviews every result after it appears on screen.
What is this? SEO is what makes Google show your website to people looking for what you sell. GEO is the same for the answers of ChatGPT and other AI assistants. This free scan checks both.

Does AI name you?
- ChatGPT1 of 3 questions
- Perplexity0 of 3 questions
We asked once. Asked again, AI may name others. This shows who it names today; it is not a grade.
Your site, as AI sees it
- YesGoogle and AI tools can get in
- NoAI tools see your textYour pages look almost empty to some AI tools
- PartlyYour pages can show on GoogleSome important pages confuse Google about their address
We also checked, without changing the above: information for machines; consistent business details; speed and stability; notices to search engines about changes. What we found is in the findings.

How the free scan works
Three steps. No SEO knowledge needed.
Step 1
Enter your website and email
We send you a code to confirm your email. No account needed.
Step 2
Tell us what you sell and where
We turn that into five questions a customer would ask and put them to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI.
Step 3
See the result on screen
In about 2 minutes you see whether they name you, who they name instead and what to fix first on your site.
Three numbers that decide whether AI sends you customers
Citations
Whether the answer links to your site, a competitor's, a directory or a marketplace. Citations are where the click goes.
Accuracy
What AI says about you, checked against your public facts: wrong prices, wrong city, outdated claims.
From free scan to monthly monitoring
Four steps. You stop wherever you want.
about 2 minutes
Free scan
A check of your site across 8 areas. The 3 findings that matter most, with technical details. A first snapshot of who AI names.
48 hours
In-depth assessment
How deep the work needs to go for your case. A quote with three options. No commitment.
14 days
Audit
Every question, 3 times a day, on every engine, against your competitors. Roadmap with owners and tests.
monthly
Monitor or Improve
Daily measurement. Monthly report with ranges. Fixes implemented and verified.
65%
One answer is a snapshot, not a score
Ask ChatGPT the same question twice and you can get different brands. About 65% of the sources AI answers cite change from one day to the next. That's why paid work measures every question many times and reports ranges.
Straight answers
What is GEO?
Generative Engine Optimisation: the work that helps a business get found, cited and recommended in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode), on top of classic SEO for Google and Bing.
What does the free scan check?
Two things. First, whether Google and AI tools can get into your website and read it: 21 automatic checks, explained in plain words in your result. Second, who ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI name when we ask them five questions like your customers'. The technical name of each check is in the result, for whoever runs your site.
How much does it cost?
The scan is free. The report reviewed by our team costs from $680. Net prices: taxes not included. Where any apply, they are added to the invoice. See options and prices for what it includes and how to ask for it.
Can you guarantee a position in ChatGPT or Google?
No. Nobody can: AI answers change from run to run, and about 65% of the sources they cite change from one day to the next. We measure probabilities with repeated runs and report ranges.
How do you measure AI answers?
Through the official API of each AI (and, when Google's AI answers are measured, a data provider), never by scripting the consumer apps. Results through APIs can differ from what you see in the apps; every report says so.
Which languages and markets?
Spanish (Spain, Argentina, Mexico), English (UK and US), German (Germany) and Hebrew (Israel). Deliverables come in English plus your site's language.
What happens with my data?
We read a few public pages of your site the way a browser does, and request a few of them again identifying as search and AI crawlers, to see whether they are let in: no logins, nothing private. The scan stores your domain, the results and your email, to send you the code and the link. For the AI sample, the site, brand, competitors and questions go to OpenAI, Perplexity and Anthropic (and to DataForSEO when Google's AI answers are measured); your email never does. When speed is measured, the site's address goes to Google's Chrome UX Report. No passwords, no account access, nothing sold.
