1. Nov 12, 2026 Free AI Visibility Checker by Ahrefs, MentionMachine, GrowMarketingPro

   Yes, there are a few options available to check if ChatGPT and other AI engines are mentioning your brand, ranging from dedicated free tools to manual workflows:

   Dedicated Free Tools

   • Free AI Visibility Checker by Ahrefs: Allows you to enter your brand or product name and queries ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews using real search-backed prompts. It generates a breakdown of total AI mentions, platform-by-platform visibility, triggering topics, and cited competitor domains. ahrefs.com

   • MentionMachine

   : A tool developed to test how readable and indexable a website is for AI, featuring a free scan option to check initial AI comprehension. (Note: Opinions on Reddit's SaaS community are mixed regarding how deep the free tier goes compared to paid options). reddit.com

   Manual Alternatives (100% Free)

   If you don't want to use a third-party tracker, you can run targeted audits directly inside ChatGPT:

   1. Simulate Buyer Prompts: Type the exact types of questions your customers ask when looking for your industry (e.g., "What are the best [your product category] tools for small businesses?" or "Compare [Competitor A] vs [Your Brand]"). reddit.com
   2. Account for Non-Determinism: On a platform like Reddit's AskMarketing community, users note that LLM answers can shift or fluctuate, meaning a single prompt run isn't a permanent guarantee. It helps to test variations of the same prompt across a few different sessions or days. reddit.com
   3. Check Citation Sources: Look closely at why or where ChatGPT pulls its information—note which third-party review sites, Reddit threads, or blog articles it references when mentioning you or your competitors. reddit.com ahrefs.com

   If you want, share:

   • Your industry or product type
   • Whether you want to check ChatGPT specifically or also Perplexity and Claude

   I can help you write a quick set of prompts to test your brand visibility manually right now.
