What's your business?

I'll crawl your homepage, figure out what you sell, and brainstorm 30 keywords a real buyer in your city would type.

Use the URL most buyers land on, typically your homepage.
Where buyers searching for you actually live. You can go neighbourhood-precise — "Times Square, NYC" pulls different recommendations than "Midtown" or "NYC". The more specific, the sharper the results.
We send the results here. 1 free scan per week per email, so pick the address you actually check.

Confirm the keywords I'll scan.

I'll query each one across 6 AI engines from a residential IP in your target city. Uncheck any that don't match your business; add more cities below if you want to scan multiple markets.

Asking 6 AI engines about your brand

Each query hits the live web through every engine so the answers match what your buyers actually see inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview and Copilot, asking from your city. Web-grounded scans take roughly 1 minute per 10 queries — feel free to leave the tab open. Your results URL is also emailed when the scan finishes.

How the AI citation tracker works

From URL to AI brand visibility action plan in five minutes.

Most AI brand monitoring tools want a sales call and a two-week setup. This one doesn't. Paste your URL, pick your city, and read your AI search visibility report over a coffee.

1

Add your website and city

We read your homepage and guess 30 search terms a real customer in your city would type. You can swap any of them.

2

Pick your keywords and engines

Keep the keywords you care about. Drop the ones you don't. Add a second or third city if your business serves more than one market.

3

We ask six AI tools live

Each question runs through a real residential connection in your buyer's city. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google's AI Overview, and Microsoft Copilot answer like they would for an actual customer.

4

Read your action plan

You get a score for each AI tool, a list of which competitors keep showing up instead of you, and a plain-English fix list. "Here's why Claude isn't mentioning you. Here are three things to do about it."

The full AI visibility scan takes 3 to 8 minutes, depending on how many keywords and cities you pick. You can leave the tab open and watch the responses come in. When it's done, the dashboard opens. We also email you the link, so you can come back to your AI brand mentions report later.

Most other free AI brand visibility checkers (like the Ahrefs AI Visibility Checker) search a saved database of past prompts and only show you the top five results. AI Radar runs fresh LLM queries against every engine and captures the whole reply, word for word. That matters, because ChatGPT, Claude, and the other AI search tools update their answers all the time. What your buyer reads today is rarely what a cached snapshot from last week says.

Why AI search visibility matters

If AI doesn't name your brand, your buyer never sees it.

About one in three buyers now starts their research inside an AI chatbot. They type "best 24-hour diner Manhattan" or "personal injury lawyer Union Square" into ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, read the short list of brand recommendations the AI gives back, and pick from those names. If your brand isn't on that list, the lead is gone before they ever open a browser tab. That's why an AI brand visibility audit matters now, not later.

This is a different game from old-school SEO. Ranking on Google still matters, but Google's AI Overview now answers a lot of those searches without sending the click. ChatGPT and Claude pull from their training data. Perplexity grades web pages on the fly. To get cited, you need a strong entity profile (Wikipedia, Wikidata), citations in publications AI tools trust, clean schema markup on your site, and a name that stays consistent across every directory you live on. This work is called Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). The labels are new. The fix list is concrete. AI Radar is the diagnostic tool that tells you which fixes to do first.

Waiting is expensive. Each month you stay invisible, your competitors' names get repeated in AI answers and burned deeper into the next training cycle. Your first AI citation tracker scan shows you where you stand. The first 90 days of work close the gap.

Who uses this AI brand visibility tool

Built for businesses that buyers ask AI to recommend.

If your customers ever say "best X near me" out loud or type it into a chatbot, you should know what AI tells them back. AI Radar works across local SEO, B2B SaaS, e-commerce, and PR. Here's where the tool earns its keep.

Restaurants and hospitality

Someone types "best 24-hour diner NYC" into Claude. Does the answer name your place, or the rival three blocks away?

Law firms

Personal injury, criminal defence, family. Buyers ask AI for a shortlist long before they call. Find out if you're on it.

Dental, medical, healthcare

"Pediatric dentist Cherry Hill" is asked thousands of times a month. See what the AI says back, in your voice or someone else's.

Home services

Plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical. Emergency searches are some of the first things AI tools answer for. Don't be missing.

Fitness and studios

"Pilates studio Manhattan" or "yoga teacher Brooklyn." Class bookings start in chat, not in Google.

B2B SaaS and agencies

"Best CRM for solo consultants" is now answered by ChatGPT before anyone reads a G2 review. Check what's said about you.

Real estate

The long-tail searches ("realtor who handles rentals in Brooklyn") used to live on Google. Now they live in AI answers.

E-commerce and DTC

"Affordable ergonomic chair brands" is more useful to a buyer than scrolling Amazon. AI gives them the short list. Are you on it?

Education and courses

"Best online SEO course 2026" gets asked in ChatGPT. Whoever it names wins the next enrollment, not the next review pile.

Multi-location franchises

Run a scan per city. You'll see exactly which markets need help and which are already winning. Useful for the next franchise meeting.

Marketing agencies

Run a free scan on a prospect, send them the results, talk on Monday. It's a better cold open than a discovery call request.

PR and comms teams

The press you earn either ends up in AI answers or it doesn't. This is the easiest way to find out which side you're on.

AI Radar vs Profound, Otterly, Peec, Athena

How we stack up against Profound, Otterly, Peec, and the rest.

Twelve other AI brand visibility tools live in this space. We pulled their live pricing and feature data so you can compare honestly. Looking for a free Profound alternative or Otterly AI alternative? Here's how the options line up in early 2026.

Tool Free tier Entry price AI engines City-level geo Pricing model
AI RadarYOU ✓ 36 live queries $99 one-time 6 ✓ Free + paid One-time audit (no subscription)
Profound ✗ Sales-led only $399/mo Growth 3-10+ Country SaaS subscription

HubSpot AEO Grader ✓ Free score $50/mo continuous 3 City input only Lead magnet → upsell
Brand24 / Chatbeat ✗ Trial only $99/mo add-on 9 (broadest coverage) SaaS add-on

Three things set AI Radar apart from this list. First, it's the only free tool that hits all six mainstream chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Microsoft Copilot) with fresh queries and a real city-level signal. Ahrefs covers six engines too, but it works from a saved prompt database and shows you a five-result preview. HubSpot's free grader covers three. Nobody else gives you this depth without a paywall.

Second, the paid side is one-time pricing. The rest of the market charges $99 to $5,000 a month, and most of them won't even quote you without a sales call. If you'd rather skip the subscription and pay once for a deep look (with a written report at the end), the $99 Snapshot, $499 Deep, and $1,997 Strategic tiers are built for that.

Third, a person reads every paid report. Kunal Singh Dabi writes them by hand after the scan finishes. That's something the venture-backed subscription tools can't really do at their volume. If you want a software dashboard, plenty of them are listed above. If you want someone who's worked with 250+ businesses to look at your data and tell you what to do, that's what these audits are.

AI visibility audit pricing

Start free. Pay once if you want the written AI visibility audit.

Four tiers, no monthly bill. The free AI citation tracker is genuinely free — all 6 AI engines, 1 scan per week. The paid AI visibility audits ($99, $499, $1,997) are one-time, with a written PDF report and no subscription trap.

AI citation tracker FAQ

Common questions about AI brand visibility, answered straight.

What is AI Radar? +

It's a free tool that asks six AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Microsoft Copilot) the questions your customers ask. You see who they recommend, how often your brand shows up, which competitors keep winning, and a short list of things to do next.

Can I target a specific neighbourhood, not just a city? +

Yes. Enter the neighbourhood directly in the location field — "Times Square, NYC", "Park Slope, Brooklyn", "Beverly Hills, CA", whatever's most relevant for your buyers. Google AI Overview gets a UULE-encoded location parameter that tells Google to behave like the search came from that exact spot, so you see the same local pack a Times Square pedestrian would see, not the borough-average. The other AI engines receive the neighbourhood as context in the prompt, which steers their recommendations to neighbourhood-typical results (Park Slope brunch spots, not generic Brooklyn). Works best for well-known neighbourhoods in major US cities; lesser-known suburbs may behave the same as the city-level result.

Is it really free? +

Yes. The free scan runs 36 fresh queries (6 keywords across 6 engines, one city). You get the full dashboard, competitor leaderboard, action plan, and a PDF export. No card needed. One scan per email per 24 hours, so the API bills stay reasonable.

Which AI tools does it check? +

The six that matter for product and local recommendations right now:

ChatGPT (OpenAI GPT-4o-mini), Claude (Anthropic 3.5 Haiku), Gemini (Google 2.0 Flash), Perplexity (Sonar, which cites web sources), Google AI Overview (the panel at the top of Google), and Microsoft Copilot.

That covers most generative-AI search traffic in 2026. You can switch off any tool you don't care about on step 2 of the wizard.

How is this different from Profound, Otterly, Peec, or Athena? +

We're the only free tool that hits all six mainstream chatbots with live queries and a real city-level signal. Profound, Athena, and Goodie all start between $295 and $399 a month with a sales call. Otterly's Lite plan is $29 a month but covers four engines with 15 prompts. Peec's Starter is $95 a month with three engines and 50 prompts.

With us, 36 fresh queries are free. The $99 paid audit adds a written report from a real person. No subscription, no sales call, no minimum.

The full comparison table is in the section above.

What's GEO, and why should I care? +

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), sometimes called Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), is the work of getting your brand named by AI tools when buyers ask them for recommendations.

Old SEO aimed at Google's blue links. GEO aims at the AI-generated reply itself. The work is different. You need a solid entity profile (Wikipedia, Wikidata), citations in publications AI tools trust, schema markup on your site, and a consistent name and address everywhere you appear.

It matters because somewhere between a third and half of buyer research now starts in an AI chatbot. We have separate guides on GEO and AEO if you want to read more.

How does the city-level targeting actually work? +

For tools that read the user's location (Google AI Overview, Perplexity), we route the query through a residential connection in the city you picked. For ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, we tell the model directly that the user is in that city.

You get the answer your customer would actually see, not a generic country-level result. Local Falcon and Knowatoa do this on paid plans. We do it on the free one.

What's in the $99 audit? +

The $99 Snapshot Audit opens up 30 keywords, 6 engines, and 3 cities. That's around 540 queries. Kunal reads the results and writes a 20 to 30 page PDF over the next 5 business days. The report includes a sentiment read per engine, a full pull of competitor entities, schema markup you can copy in, a prioritised fix list, and a 90-day plan.

The $499 Deep Audit doubles the keywords and cities and adds a 30-minute strategy call. The $1,997 Strategic Audit adds a second scan on day 90 so you can see what moved, plus a competitor deep dive and a 50-publication outreach list. Full comparison →

Who built this? +

I'm Kunal Singh Dabi, founder of KD Digital. I've worked with 250+ businesses across 17+ countries on local SEO and (more recently) AI search visibility. You can see real client outcomes on our case studies page: Cherry Hill at +3,713% local visibility, Toronto at +3,449%, Frisco at +333%, and so on.

What data do you collect? +

To run the scan: your website URL, the city you picked, your email (so we can send you the dashboard link), your IP address, and a browser fingerprint hash.

The last three are used only to keep the "one free scan per 24 hours" rule honest. They expire from our log after a day. We don't sell or share any of it.

The full breakdown is in our privacy policy.

Will it work for my industry? +

If buyers ever ask AI for a recommendation in your category, yes. Restaurants, law firms, dentists, plumbers, gyms, e-commerce, B2B SaaS, agencies, healthcare, real estate, automotive, hospitality, education, and so on. Anywhere a "best X in [city]" or "X near me" search lives, this tool tells you what AI says back.

The 12 use cases above cover the common ones.

Can agencies use this for client work? +

Lots of them do. The usual play: run the free scan on a prospect, send them the dashboard link, then offer a paid audit as fulfilment. The PDF export is clean enough to hand over directly.

If you want team seats, white-label PDFs, bulk scans, or API access, email [email protected]. We do custom arrangements for agencies.

How accurate are the results? +

Every result is from a live query. No cached data, no old snapshots. What you see is what those engines said at the moment of the scan, from a residential IP in your target city.

LLMs do have some natural variance, since they sample from a distribution. To smooth that out, the paid audits run each query 2 to 3 times and average the numbers. That's built into both the $499 and $1,997 tiers.

What if my brand isn't mentioned at all? +

Honestly, that's a useful answer. It means there's a clear set of things to fix. The action plan in your report tells you which ones for each engine: Wikipedia and Wikidata entry, schema markup, authoritative citations, name and address consistency, structured data.

The $99 audit gives you a prioritised 90-day plan. The $1,997 Strategic tier scans you again on day 90 so you can see how much the work moved the needle.
