What is AI search visibility?

AI search visibility is how often AI answers, such as Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, cite a website as a source when people ask them questions. It is to AI answers what a ranking is to Google's list of links: a measure of whether the people asking are pointed to you.

WPCentrify checks AI search visibility for every WordPress site you manage. It counts the AI answers on record that cite each site, lists the questions and the pages cited, shows the websites cited beside it, and compares it with up to four competitors.

AI search visibility at a glance

  • Google AI Overviews in many countries, and ChatGPT in the United States in English.
  • Answers citing the site, on each AI and in total, with the change since the last check.
  • Up to 100 questions, with the AI, the monthly AI searches and the page cited.
  • The websites cited beside you, and up to four competitors.
  • A chart over every check that ran.
  • Cited means linked as a source; unlinked mentions are not counted.
  • CSV and PDF export.
  • Uses AI credits; a check under a day old is free.

Which questions cite you, and which page they cite

Every question an AI answer cites the site for is listed, with which AI answered it, how often it is asked each month and the page of yours it linked to.

Press a question to read how the answer starts and every source it cited. It shows which pages earn AI citations today, which is where to put effort next: those pages already work, and the questions around them are the nearest wins.

  • Up to 100 questions, the most asked first
  • Filter by Google AI Overviews or ChatGPT
  • How often each question is asked of AI each month
  • The page cited, and every other source in the answer

A snapshot

Answers change from day to day, so the trend matters more than one check.

How to check if ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews cite your website

  1. Choose the market

    Pick the country and language for the site. ChatGPT is on record for the United States in English.

  2. Run a check

    Press Check on AI answers. WPCentrify counts the answers on record that cite the site.

  3. Read the questions

    See each question, which AI answered and the page it cited.

  4. Look at who else is cited

    The websites beside you show what AI chooses instead.

  5. Improve and check again

    Answer the questions plainly on the pages that already work, then check again next month.

How to get cited by AI search

There is no switch for AI citations, and nobody can promise them. What the AI answers that cite websites tend to have in common is plain: a page that answers one question near the top, in words a person would use, with facts that can be checked, on a website other websites already link to.

  • Let answer bots read the site. Google's guidance on AI features says the same rules as search apply: the page must be indexable and readable. Use AI crawler control to refuse training crawlers without blocking search.
  • Answer first. Put the answer in the first sentence under a question heading. A content brief plans the questions people ask for a search.
  • Be easy to trust. Links from respected websites help here as they do in search; see backlink monitoring.
  • Fix what stops Google. The SEO audit finds pages Google cannot reach or is told not to index.

Visits that arrive from AI assistants are counted as their own channel in traffic analytics, so you can see whether being cited brings people to the site.

What it does not do

  • Every assistant. Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT only, for now.
  • Unlinked mentions. A name with no link is not counted.
  • Guarantees. It measures citations; it does not buy or force them.

Questions about AI search visibility

What people ask before they turn it on.

It means one of your pages is among the sources the answer was built from, usually shown as a link beside or under the answer. WPCentrify counts only those. An answer that names a business without linking to it is not counted, because nothing tells that name apart from another business with the same name.

Google AI Overviews, in many countries, and ChatGPT, for the United States in English. Other assistants are not checked yet.

It reads the AI answers on record for the country and language you choose and keeps the ones that cite the site, up to 100, with the most asked first. Each shows how often it is asked of AI each month.

AI answers are not fixed. The same question can be answered with different sources from one day to the next, so a single check is a snapshot. The trend over several checks says more than any one of them.

AI cites pages that answer one question plainly near the top, with facts it can check, on websites other websites already trust. Look at the websites cited beside you to see what is being chosen instead, and make sure AI search bots are allowed to read the site.

Not if you block only the training crawlers. Search and answer bots, such as the ones Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT search use, are separate. WPCentrify's AI crawler control refuses training crawlers and leaves those alone.

Each check uses AI credits from your workspace balance, and a check under a day old is answered for free. Looking, filtering, opening a question and exporting are free. WPCentrify is free during early access, and plans will be announced with pricing.
