People are using ChatGPT, Google, and other AI platforms to research products, compare solutions, and find recommendations.
If your brand doesn't show up in those AI-generated answers, you're invisible to a massive audience actively looking for what you offer. And the worst part? You probably don't even know it's happening.
This guide shows you exactly how to check if your brand appears in AI search results, how to spot outdated or incorrect information, and which tools can help you monitor your visibility.
How Do I See If My Brand Shows Up in AI Search Results?
You can see if your brand shows up in AI search results either by manually testing AI platforms with relevant search queries or using automated tracking tools like the AI Visibility Toolkit.
Search for terms your potential customers would use, like:
- "Best product for [use case]"
- "Top [service type] companies in [location]"
- "[Problem] solutions"
- "Alternatives to [competitor name]"
Check whether your brand appears in the responses, how prominently you're featured, and what context surrounds your mention.
You also want to check if AI is showing outdated information about your brand.
Check for Outdated or Incorrect Information
You can check if AI is showing outdated information about your brand by manually testing AI assistants with relevant prompts and reviewing how they describe your brand, products, and services.
Try prompts like: “What is [brand]?”, “What does [brand] offer?”, “How much does [brand product/service] cost?” and see if the details match your current messaging, pricing, and features.
You can also run comparison-style prompts. Ask things like “[your brand] vs [competitor]” or “Best tools for [category].”
Look for these details when reviewing AI results:
- How your business, product, or services are described
- Any pricing information, including outdated plan names or legacy pricing
- Features and functionality, especially mentions of deprecated, renamed, or no-longer-supported features
- Positioning statements, such as “best for beginners” or “ideal for enterprises,” that may not reflect your current strategy
How Often Should I Check My Brand’s Presence in AI results?
You should check your brand’s presence in AI results regularly—ideally daily or at least weekly.
AI platforms are a new marketing opportunity for businesses. The information AI platforms show about your brand directly influences potential customers who are researching solutions, comparing options, or looking for recommendations. So, regular monitoring helps you see how AI assistants are presenting your brand and whether that information is accurate.
Here’s a helpful breakdown of how often to check:
- Daily: Best if you’re actively working to improve your AI visibility. Daily checks help you see whether your efforts are driving results
- Weekly: Ideal for small businesses. A weekly review lets you monitor trends, track improvements, and identify new visibility
- Monthly: Only if AI visibility isn’t a high priority for you right now.
Sermrush’s Enterpirse AIO Tool monitors your brand’s presence in AI results daily, helping you stay informed about visibility changes.
