A straightforward look at what we measure, how the math works, and what we can and can’t tell you. No black box.
Search engines rank pages. AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude recommend businesses — and they decide who to recommend from a different set of signals than the ones SEO tools measure.
AIMention scores your website across six of those signals. Each dimension is scored 0–100 independently, based on what we actually detect on your site — not on an AI’s opinion. Your overall score is the straight average of the six. That means you can always trace a low overall score back to the exact dimensions dragging it down, and every point of improvement maps to a specific fix.
We read your website’s actual HTML — the same raw content AI crawlers see. If your site only renders in JavaScript, we flag that too, because most AI platforms can’t read it.
Structured sections, plain-text facts, markup, trust signals, directory citations, and the real city names you serve — each detected signal feeds its dimension’s score.
Six dimension scores average into your overall score and grade. The full report turns every gap into a prioritized checklist item and a 60-day roadmap.
Whether your site presents services and specialties in organized sections an AI model can parse — instead of a wall of marketing copy.
Whether the basic facts of your business — name, address, phone, hours — appear as plain, readable text an AI can quote with confidence.
Whether your site includes machine-readable markup (JSON-LD) that explicitly tells AI systems what your business is, where it is, and what it does.
Whether your site carries the signals of a real, established business that an AI can safely recommend.
Whether your business is listed consistently across the external directories AI systems treat as trusted sources. Weighted for your business type — a restaurant isn’t penalized for skipping contractor directories.
Whether your pages actually name the cities and neighborhoods you serve, so AI connects your business to searches from those places. Built dynamically from your real service area — not a hardcoded list.
The six dimensions predict your visibility. The AI Presence Scan measures it. Included in the full report.
We run 12 real prompts — local searches, direct questions about your business, and “near me” style requests, built from your actual city and service area — across 4 AI platforms: Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. That’s 48 live AI answers. Your AI Presence score is simply how often you appeared: appearance rate × 100. You also see which competitors AI named instead of you.
AI platforms don’t publish their recommendation algorithms, and no tool — ours included — can guarantee how any specific AI system will behave. What AIMention can do is measure the signals those systems consistently rely on, show you exactly where yours fall short, and test your real-world visibility with live prompts.
The report tells you what to fix first and why it matters. It won’t promise you a spot in every AI answer — anyone who promises that is guessing. And if the report doesn’t show you anything worth fixing, we’ll refund your $30.
Your score is free — no credit card. The full report with every fix, prioritized, is a one-time $30.
