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-5.4-mini), Google Gemini (gemini-3-flash-preview), Anthropic Claude (claude-haiku-4-5), and xAI Grok (grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning). All four run in parallel via Perplexity's Agent API for live web grounding. Perplexity's native Sonar layer is reserved for the full quarterly mapou Panel 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 Panel 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 Panel 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.

Questions about the test

How does this actually work?

First, we use OpenAI to write 10 buying questions for your category, tuned to your brand context. Each question then goes to four AI assistants in parallel through Perplexity's Agent API, which gives them live web access: ChatGPT (gpt-5.4-mini), Gemini (gemini-3-flash-preview), Claude (claude-haiku-4-5) and Grok (grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning). Last, an OpenAI analyzer reads each answer, decides whether your brand was cited, mentioned or absent, and pulls out competitor brand names. That's 40 verdicts per check. Perplexity's native Sonar layer is reserved for the quarterly panel reading. It is a snapshot: AI assistants are stochastic, and results vary by model, region and time. For the full monthly method, read how the panel works.

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 how mapou helps.
