Is Your Website Being Picked Up by AI Platforms?

Check if Your Website Appears in AI-Powered Search Tools Like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and More

AI is changing how people search for information. More and more users are bypassing traditional search engines in favour of AI assistants that summarise, recommend, and directly answer questions. That includes platforms like:

  • ChatGPT (OpenAI)

  • Google Gemini (formerly Bard)

  • Perplexity.ai

  • Bing Copilot

  • Grok (X AI)

  • Claude (Anthropic)

  • You.com AI Search

  • Arc Browser AI

So, the question is: Is your website showing up in these new platforms?

At Brighton AI, we test and assess whether your website is visible to—and usable by—AI platforms. We then help you take the right technical steps to be discovered, understood, and recommended by them.

🔍 How We Test AI Platform Visibility

We simulate real-world user queries inside each AI platform to see if your website is:

✅ Referenced in answers
✅ Linked as a source
✅ Summarised or included in overviews
✅ Indexed by the platform’s crawling engine
✅ Credited as a trusted source or domain

We check for direct citations, structured data compatibility, and inclusion in AI summaries across:

💬 ChatGPT (OpenAI with Browsing Enabled)

  • We use GPT-4 with browsing to check if your site appears in live answers.

  • We test prompt relevance (e.g. “Best web design agency in Brighton”).

  • We test how ChatGPT interprets your content and metadata.

➡️ Requirements to show up:

  • Public content (no paywalls)

🛠️ What We Deliver in Your AI Visibility Report

Our comprehensive AI Platform Visibility Report includes:

✔️ A score for each AI assistant

✔️ Missing structured data and content signals
✔️ Recommendations for schema, meta, and content updates
✔️ Summary of your AI-readiness status
✔️ Steps to boost inclusion in future updates

📄 Example Output:
“Your homepage is not currently cited in ChatGPT with browsing or Bing Copilot. Adding Organization schema, page metadata, and entity mentions could increase visibility.”

📈 Why AI Visibility Matters for SEO

AI tools are becoming gatekeepers to visibility. They summarise top content, often only referencing a few key sources. If your site isn’t optimised for these platforms, you may be:

  • Invisible in AI answers

  • Missing out on referral traffic

  • Ignored in generative search

  • Excluded from voice/search assistants

  • Losing ground to more structured competitors

📣 FAQs About Getting Listed on AI Platforms

❓ Can I submit my website to ChatGPT or Gemini?

Not directly. These platforms don’t use a submission model. Instead, you must structure your site properly and gain visibility through indexing, schema, and authority. Our audits help ensure you’re optimised for the signals these platforms prioritise.

❓ Do AI tools index all websites?

No. Some AI models (like OpenAI’s) use licensed datasets and restricted browsing, while others (like Perplexity and Bing) actively crawl the web. To be included, your site must be publicly accessible, crawlable, and structured.

❓ Will AI traffic replace SEO?

AI and SEO are merging. Traditional SEO still matters—but AI-driven results are becoming the new top-of-page real estate. Think of AI as the next layer of SEO, not a replacement. If you’re not prepared for it, you’ll be left out of results entirely.

❓ What structured data should I use to get featured?

We recommend:

  • Organization or LocalBusiness schema

  • FAQ, HowTo, and Article schema

  • Proper meta title and meta description for each page

  • OpenGraph and Twitter card markup for rich presentation

❓ Can I track AI traffic?

Currently, most AI platforms don’t offer analytics (yet). However, you can track:

  • Referral traffic from Perplexity.ai and You.com

  • Clicks from Google SGE (when visible)

  • Changes in organic traffic after structured updates

  • Manual prompts and screen captures via browsing AI

We include tracking methods in your AI Visibility Report.
