Does AI cite my brand?

Run the free mapou AI visibility check at mapou.ai/check. Enter your brand and category. We generate 10 buyer-intent prompts a real shopper would ask, run each against ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok, then show you whether your brand is cited, mentioned, or invisible on each engine. Free, 60 seconds, no credit card.

Which AI engines does the mapou check test?

ChatGPT (gpt-4o-mini), Google Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash), Anthropic Claude (claude-haiku-4-5), and xAI Grok (grok-3-mini). All four run in parallel. Perplexity's live-web-grounded layer is reserved for the full monthly mapou Visibility Index report at mapou.ai/research.

What does it mean if my brand is cited vs mentioned vs invisible in AI?

Cited = the AI named your brand as a recommendation. Mentioned = the AI named your brand but did not recommend it. Invisible = the AI never named your brand. Cited is the strongest signal; mentioned counts at half weight in the mapou Visibility Index because visibility is not the same as recommendation.

How accurate is a single AI visibility check?

AI assistants are stochastic, results vary by model, region, and time. The free check is a 60-second snapshot and is best read as directional. The full mapou Visibility Index runs 100 atomic verdicts per brand monthly with Wilson 95% confidence intervals to give a stable, time-series benchmark.

Is the mapou AI visibility check free?

Yes. One free check per email, no credit card required. Results are emailed within ~60 seconds, with a sharable public report URL.

What you get

10 buyer-intent prompts

Real questions a shopper might ask AI in your category, generated for your specific brand context.

4 engines per prompt

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, every prompt is run against all four so you see whether visibility is consistent or engine-specific. (Perplexity's live-web layer ships in the full mapou Visibility Index report.)

40 atomic verdicts

Cited (recommended), mentioned (named but not recommended), or invisible, for every (prompt × engine).

Competitor list + summary

The brands AI cited instead, plus an honest one-paragraph read on what the result means and what to do.

How does this actually work?

(1) We use OpenAI to generate 10 buyer-intent prompts for your category, customized to your brand context. (2) Each prompt is run against four AI engines in parallel: ChatGPT (gpt-4o-mini), Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash), Claude (claude-haiku-4-5), and Grok (grok-3-mini). (3) An OpenAI analyzer parses each response to determine if your brand was cited, mentioned, or absent, and extracts competitor brand names. That's 40 atomic verdicts per check. (Perplexity's web-grounded layer is reserved for the full monthly mapou Visibility Index report.) It is a snapshot. AI assistants are stochastic; results vary by model, region, and time. For our full monthly research methodology, see /methodology.

Why is the email required?

We rate-limit by email and send you the report. If you want a deeper, multi-engine audit, that conversation has to start somewhere.

What if my brand is not yet cited?

That is the most common result and it is fixable. AI search is still early; most brand mentions in AI answers are earned by structured entity data, third-party citations, and category authority, not ad spend. We do this for a living. See solutions.
