How visible is your brand in AI search?

Google's Helpful Content System (HCS) is the ranking signal — launched in 2022 and made a default in 2024 — that judges the overall helpfulness of your site, not just individual pages. Sites with a lot of low-quality content get demoted across all pages, including the strong ones. It's why AI-generated volume without quality controls now hurts SEO instead of helping it.

Two reasons. (1) Google's Helpful Content System grades your whole domain — adding more low-quality articles drags down how well your strong articles rank. (2) AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews learn at the domain level — a string of generic AI articles teaches them to skip your site for the next prompt. Volume without quality compounds in the wrong direction.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is how you structure articles so AI engines can extract answers — definitional intros, FAQ blocks, schema markup, internal links. Content quality is whether the article has original information, real citations, and a real author. AEO without quality means your article is well-structured but won't pass the AI engine's citation filter. Quality without AEO means it's a good article that AI engines can't easily extract from. You need both.

You can absolutely paste prompts into ChatGPT one at a time. The free checker generates 5 category-relevant prompts from your homepage, runs them through ChatGPT and Gemini in parallel, and scores the results — turning what would be 10 manual queries + scoring spreadsheet into a 20-second score. The paid Meev product extends this to every major AI search surface, web-grounded citations, and rolling cadence so you can track week-over-week.

The score gives you the headline number for free. The actionable detail — which specific prompts your brand surfaces in, which LLMs cite your competitors instead, and the URLs each engine pulled into its answer — is what the paid Meev product is for. Start a free trial to see all of it (and the outreach targets to fix the gaps).

No. The free check tests whether your brand is in the LLM's training data — which is the core question of AI visibility. The paid product runs the same prompts with live web search enabled to see which publisher URLs each LLM cites in real-time. Both signals matter; the free check covers the foundational one.

Yes — 7-day free trial of any paid plan. Card required at sign-up but no charge today. Trial caps at 7 articles + 10 tracked prompts regardless of plan; every other feature reflects the plan you pick. Cancel anytime before day 7 to avoid the bill.

The score is computed from 10 LLM responses (5 prompts × 2 LLMs) using a weighted mention-rate formula. It's accurate as a single-snapshot read of your training-data presence. The paid product runs the same scoring with continuous rolling cadence, more surfaces, and live web grounding — so trend-line accuracy goes up significantly over time.

No. Free checks are stored only for our internal 7-day cache (so you don't accidentally re-run and double-charge yourself). We don't publish, share, or leaderboard customer domains.
