Example answers for fictional businesses. In Ansoar, every answer is a real one, kept with its platform and date.
Your next customer just asked ChatGPT who to hire. Did it say you?
AI doesn’t hand people a page of links. It names a few businesses and moves on. When one customer is worth thousands, missing that short list costs you, and nothing in your analytics shows it happening.
45%
of US consumers used AI tools to find local businesses in the past year, up from 6% the year before.

businesses, roughly, are named in a typical ChatGPT answer to a local search. Google AI Overviews averaged 2.5.

Ask AI the same question twice. Get two different answers.
A screenshot isn’t proof. Tracking every day is.
In one test, only about 5 of roughly 44 brands appeared in at least 80% of 100 runs of the same ChatGPT question. Across local searches, 71 to 80% of businesses showed up in half or fewer of repeated searches for the same query.
Ansoar asks your customers’ questions every day on the three AI platforms you choose and keeps every answer. Within days the pattern shows: how often you’re recommended, how often you’re only mentioned, and which competitors keep getting picked.

What to look for in AI search visibility tools
| Question | A one-off check | Ansoar |
|---|---|---|
| How often it asks | Once | The same questions, every day, on 3 platforms |
| What it keeps | A screenshot or a score | Every answer, with its platform and date |
| What it tells you | Whether you showed up that time | Your recommendation % and mention %, and who leads |
| After you act | Ask again and hope | Before and after, measured the same way |
An answer engine optimization tool that tells you what to fix, then checks if it worked.
Most tools stop at a score. Ansoar takes you from the gap to the fix, then measures again.

Five AI platforms. You track the three that matter.
Each business tracks 3 of these 5. Pick the ones your customers use, switch whenever you like, and keep your history.
AI assistants people open
- ChatGPTOpenAI’s assistant.
- PerplexityAn answer engine that shows its sources.
- GeminiGoogle’s standalone assistant, the app people open on purpose.
AI inside Google Search
- Google AI ModeThe conversational AI tab inside Google Search.
- Google AI OverviewsThe AI summary at the top of regular Google results.
Gemini and Google’s AI aren’t the same thing. Gemini is an assistant people choose to open. AI Mode and AI Overviews are what people see inside Google Search. They often name different businesses, so Ansoar measures each one separately.

Questions about Ansoar
What is AI visibility?
How often AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI name your business when someone asks for a recommendation. Ansoar counts three outcomes separately: recommended, mentioned in passing, and left out.
Does ChatGPT give the same answer to everyone?
No. The same question can return different businesses from one ask to the next, and answers can change with location and with how the question is worded. That’s why one check proves little. Ansoar asks the same questions every day and looks at the pattern across many answers.
Isn’t this just SEO?
It’s related, but not the same. Semrush’s analysis of 5,000 keywords found roughly 54% overlap between the domains Google AI Mode cites and the organic top ten. Ranking well helps, but it doesn’t guarantee being named. You’ll also hear this work called answer engine optimization, GEO or LLM SEO. Ansoar measures the AI answers directly, and its Crawlability and Page Readiness checks cover the website basics that SEO and AI answers both rely on.
Can you guarantee AI will recommend us?
No, and nobody honestly can. AI platforms don’t publish how they choose, and their answers change from day to day. What Ansoar does is show where you’re losing, what turns up around the answers when a competitor wins, what to fix first, and what changed after you made the change.
Which AI platforms does Ansoar track?
You choose 3 of 5: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews. Gemini is Google’s standalone assistant. AI Mode and AI Overviews appear inside Google Search. Each gets its own results because they often name different businesses. You can switch any time and keep your history.
How is this different from a free AI visibility checker?
A free checker asks your question once and shows you that one answer. Because answers change between asks, it might not be what your next customer sees. Ansoar repeats the same questions every day, keeps the answers, and tracks what changes after you act. If you’re comparing AEO tools, ask whether they repeat the same questions over time and keep the answers behind every number.
How quickly will I see results?
Your first recommendation % and mention %, and who gets picked instead, arrive within minutes of entering your website. Actions need more answers to work from, so they usually start appearing within a few days to a week.
How much does it cost?
Every plan includes every feature, from Actions to before-and-after measurement. Plans differ only in how many searches run each day, how many businesses you track, and white-label reports. Plans start at $79 a month, and every account starts with a 7-day free trial with no card needed. See pricing.
