AI recommended a business in your city today.

Was it you — or your competitor?

AI is searching the haystack. Did it find you?

People ask AI assistants who to hire. We ask real buyer questions across the systems enabled today, count how often your business is recommended, and show who is named instead, with dates.

We don't show you one screenshot. We ask real customer questions across the configured AI systems, and show you the pattern — who's getting named, and how often.

The check, in three parts

See who's getting named. Know what to fix.

Real buyer questions, dated evidence, and a plain-English fix list give you a useful baseline for your next check.

01 / DEFINE

Tell us who you are

Business name, location, category and a few core services give the sample its local context.

02 / SAMPLE

Ask buyer-style questions

We run real buyer questions across the enabled AI systems and record every answer.

03 / UNDERSTAND

Read the evidence

See answer counts, mentions and alternatives—with limits stated alongside the results.

What an AI visibility check covers Read the methodology

A measured answer

One sample is a signal. It is not the whole market.

AI systems do not return one fixed answer. A visibility check observes a limited set of responses, using a defined set of questions and the engines available at the time. Only recommendations count, not mere mentions.

Every report lists the systems actually checked. Checks use official APIs, not consumer chat websites. Google AI Overviews are not sampled, and Gemini answers are not labeled as Google AI Overview results.

Every report distinguishes what was checked from what remains unknown. If sampling or checkout is not configured, we say so instead of manufacturing a result.

What we stand for

“Show the questions. Count the answers. Be honest about the gaps.”

Questions

Straight answers.

What is an AI visibility check?

NeedleFoundAI asks buyer-style questions about your category, town and services, then records which businesses AI assistants recommend. Your report shows the pattern, competitors named instead, dated evidence and a plain-English fix list.

What does Named Rate (sampled) mean?

It is the percentage of completed, sampled answers that recommend your business. The report includes the number of answers, sampling dates and systems actually checked. A passing mention does not count as a recommendation.

Is the Full Report a subscription?

No. The Snapshot is free and the Full Report is a one-time purchase for each fresh check. You can re-check when you want another dated sample to compare.

Do you need my website or Google passwords?

No. Readiness checks use public information and facts you confirm. NeedleFoundAI does not ask for third-party passwords. Your customer reports stay private to you.

Which AI systems do you check?

NeedleFoundAI supports official APIs for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Every result identifies the systems actually sampled. Gemini API answers are not Google AI Overview results.
