Buyers ask assistants for recommendations every day. SellSEO runs the real probe for a market and records exactly which businesses get named, and which never come up.
Included in every scan, and available as a free public checker.
The question is actually asked and the answer is recorded. You are showing an owner a transcript of a machine recommending their competitor, not a made up visibility index.
The businesses the assistant does recommend come back by name, which is the detail that turns a polite reply into a call.
Every scan runs the probe, and the result sits on the branded audit report alongside the rankings and the lost revenue.
Niche and city, either from a scan you run or from the free public checker anyone can use.
Several natural phrasings of the recommendation question a real buyer would type, asked live rather than pulled from a cached index.
Who was named, in what order, and whether the business you care about appeared at all. The transcript goes on the audit report as evidence.
It means what an AI assistant answers when a real buyer asks it for a recommendation in a specific niche and city. SellSEO asks that question live, in several natural phrasings, and records which businesses get named. It is a transcript, not a score.
Because it is the one slide a business owner cannot argue with. Rankings can be dismissed as a tool's opinion. A machine naming two competitors and never them, in front of them, is a different conversation.
Slowly, and that is the point. Assistants lean on the sources and the authority that already exist in a market, so the businesses that get named tend to be the ones winning organically. Probes are cached per niche and city, so re-running a market is cheap.
Yes. The public AI Visibility Checker runs the same probe for any niche and city without an account. It is also the tool a lot of people use to see the problem before they start selling the fix.
The probe runs against a leading general purpose assistant, using the phrasings a buyer would actually type rather than keyword-style queries. The recorded answer includes who was named and in what order.
No, and it is worth showing both. Rankings tell you where a business sits in a list of links. The AI probe tells you whether it exists at all in the answer a growing share of buyers now read instead of that list.
Run one scan on your own niche tonight and see who in your city is bleeding search traffic. If the audit reports do not impress you, you have spent nothing.
