I built it because I needed it. After running 100+ audits across my own sites the developer brief shaved 2-3 hours per pre-launch check. Now I run it every Friday before deploys.

Why now
Why AI Visibility Matters in 2026
Three numbers worth remembering. AI search isn't a side channel anymore — it's where new informational searches start, where the answer often appears without a click, and where your content has to be cited to count.

Test ChatGPT Visibility, Perplexity SEO & AI Overviews
AI search is fragmented. ChatGPT cites different sources than Perplexity. Gemini ranks differently from Bing Copilot. Google AI Overviews has its own logic. SiteTest probes each engine independently with the actual user-agents they ship in production — so you see where you're winning, where you're missing, and which platform-specific fix moves the needle.
ChatGPT
Probes GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User access; scores citability of your top passages.
Perplexity
Tests PerplexityBot crawlability and source-card readiness. Perplexity SEO is mostly about fast HTML and clean schema.
Google AI Overviews
Checks AI Overviews eligibility signals: schema, freshness, E-E-A-T markers.
Gemini
Reads how Google-Extended sees you and whether you're feeding the same answer set.
Bing Copilot
Tests Bing's chat-mode source pool, including the often-overlooked bingbot UA.

Citation tracking
Track AI Citations Across All Engines
If a robot can crawl you, the next question is: does it actually cite you? SiteTest works as an AI citation tracker — it logs which engines reference your domain, on which queries, and how often, building a baseline you can re-check monthly. That's the difference between an AI mentions tracker that just counts brand strings and a real visibility tool that shows you query-by-query coverage.
Re-audit any URL anytime; track the score curve in your dashboard. Fixes either move the line up or they don't — no agency vibes, no quarterly slide decks.

What people who actually shipped fixes say
Used SiteTest.ai on iqgenio.com before our paid traffic launch. Caught 3 issues that would have killed AdSense approval — the brief told my dev exactly what HTML to change. Fixed in an afternoon.
The GEO category is the differentiator. Semrush gave us a "passed" on schema; SiteTest.ai showed us our FAQPage markup was missing speakable selectors — which is why ChatGPT wasn't citing us. Fixed it, citations went up.
