A manual check is a start
Run a few buyer prompts in the tools your customers use. Capture the exact question, the named businesses, and the cited sources so you can see what evidence the engine trusted.
Answer
Does ChatGPT recommend your business?
To check whether ChatGPT Search recommends your business, ask the buyer questions your customers would ask and record whether your business is named, merely mentioned, or absent. Then repeat the check across the other AI search surfaces. A single prompt is noisy, so PulseLogic measures the pattern across the surfaces buyers use.

The full check needs more surfaces
PulseLogic checks AI Overviews, AI Mode, Local Pack, Featured Snippet, People Also Ask, ChatGPT Search, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity because local visibility varies by surface.
Ask it yourself first, in the words a customer would use. Then run the free AI Mirror Test to see the same question put to all nine surfaces we track today, with every question printed so you can check the work.

What buyers ask before they start
Can I check manually if AI recommends my business?
Yes. Ask real buyer questions and record whether your business is named, mentioned, or absent. Manual checks are useful, but they are noisy and incomplete.
What should I do if AI recommends a competitor?
Find the question and source gap, then publish a clearer answer with better evidence. PulseLogic turns those gaps into ranked content missions.
