Customers now ask AI where to go. One answer won’t tell you where you stand.
You can ask ChatGPT about your brand yourself. But answers change with the wording, the assistant and the month, and a single answer doesn't show why a competitor was recommended instead of you.

How Akili tracks what AI says about you. Every month, in four steps.
Ask, the same way every month
Akili runs a set of prompts across each AI assistant on a schedule: questions by name, comparisons, local searches and category questions.
Read every answer
Each answer is checked for whether you are named, how you are described, and which competitors appear instead.
Trace the sources
Akili records the websites each assistant cites, and whether those sources mention you or only your competitors.
Rank what to change
You get recommendations ranked by their estimated effect on how often AI names you, with the evidence behind each.
Know where you stand. And exactly why.
A score that shows where you stand
One visibility score, from Invisible to Authoritative, built from every prompt and every assistant. It separates being known by name from being recommended to someone who has never heard of you.
- Four levels: Invisible, Indexed, Discoverable, Authoritative
- Branded and non-branded prompts measured separately
- Sentiment: how positively AI describes you

Questions, answered.
What is AI search visibility?
It is how often, and how well, AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude name and recommend your brand when customers ask them questions. It is sometimes called generative engine optimisation, or GEO.
Which AI assistants does Akili check?
ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. You choose which to include, and checking at least two gives a more reliable score.
How does Akili measure it?
Akili runs a set of prompts across each assistant every month. For each answer it checks whether your brand is named, how it is described, which competitors appear and which websites are cited. The results are combined into one visibility score with four levels: Invisible, Indexed, Discoverable and Authoritative.
Why not just ask ChatGPT ourselves?
You can, and you should. But one answer is a snapshot: it changes with the wording, the assistant and the day. Akili asks the same prompts the same way every month, compares you with your competitors, traces the sources behind the answers and tells you which changes are likely to move the result.
What prompts does Akili use?
A mix of branded prompts (about you by name), comparisons with a competitor, discovery prompts (such as the best option in an area), local prompts and general category questions. Akili suggests prompts, and you can add, edit, test or switch off any of them.
How often is it checked?
Automatically every month, and straight away when you first switch it on.
Can I improve what AI assistants say about us?
Often, yes. AI answers draw on reviews and on what is published about you online. After each run, Akili ranks the changes most likely to help, such as getting into the roundups AI cites, adding missing information to your website or dealing with a complaint that keeps appearing in reviews. Akili cannot control what an assistant says.
Which plans include AI search visibility?
Professional and Enterprise. Professional is £2,900 a month for up to 50 locations with unlimited users. Prices exclude VAT.
