How it works

From URL to fix list in under a minute.

AI visibility-buddy is the audit layer for the generative-search era. Here's exactly what happens between pasting your domain and getting a report you can act on.

The pipeline

Six steps. One score. A clear path to fix it.

  1. Step 01

    You drop in a URL

    Paste any business website — no signup, no card. We normalize the domain and queue a real-time scan. Most reports finish inside 30 seconds.

  2. Step 02

    We query the AI models directly

    Your domain is sent through the Lovable AI Gateway to OpenAI GPT-5, GPT-5 Nano, and Google Gemini in parallel. Each model is asked what it actually knows about your business — name, location, hours, phone, services, reviews, and structured data.

  3. Step 03

    We score and de-duplicate

    Each model returns a structured probe with a confidence score and a list of missing categories. We aggregate the confidences into a single 0–100 visibility score and merge the gaps into a clean issue list — tagged by which model flagged each one.

  4. Step 04

    You see the free report instantly

    Your aggregate score, model-by-model breakdown, and the first two critical issues are unlocked for free. You'll see exactly which AI assistants are guessing — and which ones don't know you exist.

  5. Step 05

    Unlock the Pro fix list for £15

    A one-time £15 unlocks the full Pro report: every issue, severity-ranked, with copy-paste fixes — schema.org markup, Google Business Profile edits, content rewrites, citation submissions, and a prioritized 30-day action plan.

  6. Step 06

    Optional weekly monitoring

    Subscribe and we'll rescan your site every week, track score changes, and alert you the moment a model starts hallucinating about your business or a fix regresses.

Under the hood

What we ask each model

Every probe returns a structured JSON response. No free-text guessing — we force the model to declare what it knows, what it doesn't, and how confident it is.

Request
"Audit the business at joes-coffee.com.
Do you know this specific business?
What is its name? Description?
Which categories are you missing?
  • business_name
  • location
  • hours
  • phone
  • services
  • reviews
  • website_content
  • structured_data
What's your hallucination risk?"
Response (parsed)
{
  "knows_business": true,
  "confidence": 62,
  "business_name": "Joe's Coffee",
  "description": "Independent café…",
  "missing": ["hours", "phone",
              "structured_data"],
  "hallucination_risk": "medium",
  "notes": "Knows the name and rough
   location but not opening hours."
}

We run this probe across all three models, aggregate the confidences into your score, and merge the missing arrays into your issue list.

Built for small businesses, not agencies.

Real model responses

No synthetic scoring. Every report is generated from live API calls to OpenAI and Google in the moment you scan.

30-second turnaround

Parallel probing across three models keeps the free scan under a minute, even on cold domains.

Pay once, keep the fixes

The £15 Pro report is yours forever — re-open it any time from your dashboard. No subscription required.

FAQ

Common questions

Which AI models do you actually query?
Every scan runs in parallel against OpenAI GPT-5, OpenAI GPT-5 Nano, and Google Gemini via the Lovable AI Gateway. We add new models as they become broadly used for search.
Why does my score change between scans?
Large language models are non-deterministic and their training data refreshes over time. Small score wobbles between scans are normal — what matters is the trend and which categories stay missing.
What's in the £15 Pro report that the free one doesn't have?
The full issue list (free scans cap at the first two), severity rankings, copy-paste schema.org JSON-LD, Google Business Profile checklist, citation targets, content rewrite suggestions, and a prioritized 30-day action plan.
Do you store my data?
We store the URL you scanned, the model responses, and the generated report so you can revisit it. We don't crawl your site, store visitor data, or share anything with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
How is this different from SEO tools?
Traditional SEO measures Google's organic index. AI visibility-buddy measures how generative assistants represent your business when a user asks them directly — a completely different surface, with different signals (training data recency, structured data, citation density, brand mentions).
