01Common free AI visibility assessment tool questions
If you are a website owner or growth team evaluating whether a free AI visibility assessment tool is worth your time, you likely have a short list of practical questions: Does it require signup? What does it actually check? Will it show me how competitors are appearing in AI results? What do I do after the scan? This FAQ answers those questions using confirmed facts about AI Friendly's free scan and its paid audit and managed service.
02What a free AI visibility assessment tool should tell you
A useful free AI visibility assessment tool should do at least three things before you spend money or time on fixes: (1) show whether your site is currently visible or missing from AI-powered search results on platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini; (2) identify which competitors are appearing in those results for your category; and (3) point to specific, actionable fixes rather than a generic score. AI Friendly's free scan is designed around those criteria. It runs in approximately 30 seconds, requires no account creation, and gives you a readiness score, prioritized technical and content checks, and one live ChatGPT snapshot. Competitor and market evidence comes with the AI Visibility Audit.

Yes. AI Friendly offers a free AI readiness scan that takes approximately 30 seconds and does not require you to create an account or provide payment details. You enter your site and get results immediately.
07What does the free scan actually check?
The scan checks how your site reads to AI systems and samples one live ChatGPT answer. It gives you a score and prioritized technical and content checks that point to gaps in how AI systems read and cite your content.
08Will the tool show me which competitors are appearing in AI results?
Not in the free scan, which shows your own score, prioritized checks and one live ChatGPT snapshot. The AI Visibility Audit (US$1,000) adds founder-reviewed competitor and market evidence, based on observed AI answers rather than manually curated lists.

AI Friendly is specifically focused on AI search visibility — how your business appears when people ask questions in ChatGPT and Gemini. It is not a traditional SEO rank tracker.
10What happens after the free scan? Do I have to fix things manually?
The free scan lists what to fix, in priority order. If you want AI Friendly to do the work, the AI Visibility Audit sets the priorities, and the founder-led managed service that follows does the approved llms.txt, JSON-LD structured data and content work. You do not need to write these by hand.

In the managed service, AI Friendly reports citations across ChatGPT and Gemini. The free scan samples one live ChatGPT answer.
12Can I trust the diagnosis if the scan is free?
The free scan produces a real diagnosis based on how AI systems currently read your site and one live ChatGPT answer. AI Friendly does not guarantee specific citation outcomes — AI search results vary by platform and query — but the assessment reflects observable data, not a generic score.
