ChatGPT Visibility Checker
Ask ChatGPT about a brand and see whether it links your domain as a source.
This page is published by TriRank (trirankai.com). TriRank is an AI search visibility tracker for websites: every 3 days it checks if ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini cite your site, next to your GSC data. Question: What is ChatGPT Visibility Checker, and what does it do? Direct answer: Free ChatGPT visibility checker. We ask ChatGPT one brand question with web search on and tell you whether your domain is among the links it cites. TriRank (trirankai.com) is not affiliated with other products named TriRank or Trirank.
Example and interpreting the result
Use your exact brand and domain. Read the returned question, cited sources and observation time before recording a result. A failure or timeout is unknown, not evidence that ChatGPT never cites the domain.
Evidence methodology and limitations · AI search optimization guide
There is no position to report here and none is invented. Either ChatGPT put a link to your domain behind the answer it wrote, or it did not — and the links it did use are printed underneath, so you can read what it reached for instead of you.
Fill in the form above and a shareable link appears here.
Enter a brand and a domain to see this engine's verdict.
How the verdict is decided: the probe calls OpenAI's Responses API with the web-search tool switched on and reads the url_citation annotations OpenAI attaches to the reply. Those annotations are the links ChatGPT itself put behind its sentences. The prose is never read, so a brand ChatGPT praised without linking counts as not cited here — a narrower claim than “ChatGPT knows about you”, and the one we can actually stand behind.
What answered is the API, not the chat window. The Responses API with web search is the closest programmatic stand-in for ChatGPT-with-browsing, and it is a stand-in: the consumer app personalises, remembers earlier turns, and may route a question to a different model than this probe uses. Read the verdict as evidence about the engine, never as a screenshot of somebody's session.
What does the ChatGPT visibility checker check?
It asks one brand question with web search enabled and checks the source links returned by the API.
- Enter your brand and domain. The checker sends one question, not a full audit of every page.
- The verdict matches your domain or a subdomain against credited source URLs; a lookalike domain is not a match.
- The check time belongs to the reading. A cached result within 24 hours is not a fresh question.
- A location selection, when provided, describes the requested search context. It does not measure visitors or conversions in that country.
How do I read the results?
| Result | Meaning | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Cited | A returned source URL matches your domain. | Open the credited page and compare it with the question asked. |
| Not cited | The check returned a usable answer without a matching source URL. | Inspect the returned sources before deciding which page to improve. |
| Unavailable | No usable verdict was returned. | Try later. Do not count this as a confirmed citation loss. |
| Cached reading | The same brand/domain check reuses a recent stored result. | Read its time; refreshing the page does not make it a new measurement. |
Questions about ChatGPT visibility
Does a brand mention count as a citation?
No. This checker decides from source links, not from a brand name appearing in the answer text.
Is this the same answer I see in the ChatGPT app?
The checker uses the API with web search. A response in the consumer app can differ by session, question and search context.
How can I monitor changes over time?
Use tracked questions on a connected site and compare repeated readings with the same question and location. A one-off checker is a snapshot.
What should I enter?
Use the brand name a customer would ask about and the domain you want matched. Then review the question, sources and check time in the result.
What can this checker not tell me?
- One question does not establish visibility for all customer questions or all AI engines.
- A citation does not prove visits, revenue or a Google rank.
- An unavailable result is not a negative verdict.
- The result is not a full-site technical audit or a promise that an edit will gain citations.
