AI Visibility Guru by Alchemetics

Free AI visibility report

You rank on Google. But does AI recommend you?

Customers are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI, and Copilot who to trust. Your free AI Visibility Guru Report shows whether your business appears, which competitors show up instead, and the exact sources AI trusts when making those recommendations.

The real prompts, the real answers, and the competitors AI names instead of you.

Prompt tested: “Who are the best companies to hire for outdoor kitchen design in Austin?”
What AI answeredThree competitors were named. The client was not mentioned.

The report shows the verbatim answer, the source links AI trusted, and where the client’s authority signal was missing.

Source gap foundCompetitors appeared in trusted local directories, review pages, and buying guides.

Those citations became the first 30-day work plan, not a generic visibility score.

What your report shows

See exactly how AI answers for your business.

Most AI visibility tools hand you a number. Ours hands you the answers: the questions your buyers are actually typing, what each engine says back, who it recommends instead of you, and the exact sources it trusted to make that call.

1

The real prompts and answers

We run buying questions through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI, and Copilot, then show the actual answers instead of summaries.

2

Who AI names instead of you

Your share of voice against the real competitors these engines recommend today.

3

The sources AI cited

The specific directories, reviews, articles, profiles, and third-party pages the engines pulled from.

4

Every gap tied to a fix

Not vague citation gaps. The report shows what is missing, why it matters, and what to do about each item.

5

Accuracy problems

Where AI describes your business wrong, incompletely, or out of date. These are often the fastest wins.

6

A baseline you can re-run

The prompts and measurements are reproducible, so you can see exactly what moved after the first round of work.

Why this matters now

Google is no longer just sending people to the web. It is answering for the web.

The New York Times recently described how Google is putting AI answers between searchers and the open web. For business owners, that means old SEO thinking is not enough. Being indexed is not the same as being recommended.

Alchemetics is built for this moment. We help businesses become the source AI engines understand, cite, and trust when customers ask who to hire.

The new search problem

More questions are answered before the visitor ever reaches a website.

AI answers compress research, comparison, trust, and recommendation into one screen.

The winner is not always the site with the best ranking. It is the business with the clearest authority signal.

The Alchemetics method

The A.E.S.C.T.M. system for AI search authority.

AI engines need proof, not slogans. We align the signals that make your business easier to retrieve, explain, cite, and recommend.

A

Authority

Clear expertise, trustworthy proof, reviews, credentials, case studies, and third-party validation.

E

Entities

A clean machine-readable understanding of who you are, what you do, where you operate, and who you serve.

S

Traditional SEO vs AI recommendations

Rankings still matter. Recommendations matter more.

AI search did not replace SEO. It added a new scoreboard on top of the old one.

Sample report excerpt

Prompt evidence beats a made-up score.

Prompt: “Who are the best B2B SEO consultants for manufacturers?”

Finding
AI named two competitors and cited their case-study pages, review profiles, and third-party mentions.
Gap
Your business has strong service pages, but weak off-site proof and unclear entity signals.
First fix
Build citation-ready proof pages, tighten schema, and earn the sources AI already trusts in your category.

Proof examples

Specific findings beat generic claims.

The report format is already built around concrete evidence: real prompts, named competitors, cited sources, and the first fixes that can change the answer.

M

Made-in-USA manufacturer

AI could identify the company by brand, but broad category prompts favored marketplaces and guide sites. The fix: own more educational answers and strengthen third-party citations.

L

Premium local retailer

Local buying prompts exposed a citation gap across review pages, directory sources, and comparison content. The fix: build the sources AI already trusts in that city.

B

Home improvement company

AI answers understood the service category but did not have enough independent proof to recommend the company consistently. The fix: tighten entity signals, proof pages, and local authority.

FAQ

Questions business owners are asking right now.

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is the process of making a business easier for AI engines to understand, trust, cite, and recommend when customers ask buying questions.

How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on rankings and clicks. AI SEO focuses on entities, authority, citations, structured data, topical coverage, reviews, and whether AI systems can confidently recommend you.

Can ChatGPT recommend my business?

Yes, but only when the public signals around your business are strong enough. Your website, reviews, mentions, citations, content, and authority all matter.

How long does AI SEO take?

Some technical and content fixes can improve clarity quickly. Recommendation authority usually builds over 60 to 180 days, depending on competition and starting point.

Can AI replace Google?

AI will not simply replace Google, but it is changing how customers discover and evaluate businesses. Google itself is already putting AI answers into search results.

How do AI engines choose businesses?

They use available sources, entity understanding, reviews, brand mentions, topical authority, trusted citations, structured data, and content that directly answers buyer questions.

Do you still do normal SEO?

Yes. AI visibility builds on strong SEO fundamentals. Technical SEO, content strategy, local SEO, schema, and authority building still matter.

What is an AI Visibility Report?

It is a diagnostic showing how AI tools respond when buyers ask about your category, which competitors appear, and what needs to improve.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. We do not sell fake certainty. We build authority, improve visibility signals, and track whether AI and search engines understand your business better over time.

Who is this for?

Service businesses, local companies, ecommerce brands, consultants, agencies, manufacturers, and B2B companies that depend on trust and inbound demand.

What engines do you check?

We look at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI, and Bing Copilot style discovery patterns where appropriate.

What does the free assessment include?

A practical look at your website, public authority signals, AI visibility gaps, competitors, and the first fixes that matter most.
