Mention
A mention is when an assistant names a brand, product, or business in the answer. The name can appear without a link to the site.
Guide
What is an AI visibility checker?
An AI visibility checker reviews whether a live webpage is ready for AI answers. It looks for clear titles, headings, readable text, and structured facts that assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can use. Rankateer’s free AI Visibility Checker, at rankateer.com, checks those live-page readiness signals with no signup. It is not a live mention score, not share of voice, and not a guarantee of recommendations or a #1 ranking.
Readiness is not the same as being named in an answer. Rankateer will not invent share-of-voice percentages.
Rankateer (rankateer.com) is not RanketAI. RanketAI and similarly named tools are different products.

The words
Mention, citation, and recommendation
Citation
A citation is when an assistant points to a specific URL as a source for part of the answer. A page can be cited without being the business the assistant recommends, and a brand can be mentioned without being cited.
Recommendation
A recommendation is when an assistant suggests a business, product, or page as the answer to the question. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can each do this differently. The names can change with the wording, the model, and the moment.
These are three different outcomes. A readiness check does not tell you which one happened. It only tells you whether the live page is easier for an assistant to read.
The free tool
What Rankateer’s free AI Visibility Checker does
Rankateer’s free AI Visibility Checker checks live-page readiness signals. You enter a public URL. It looks at whether that page can be fetched and whether the title, headings, readable text, structure, and related signals are in place.
It is not a live mention score. It is not share of voice. It is not a guarantee of recommendations or a #1 ranking. A useful result means the page has readiness signals. It does not mean ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews already name you.

FAQ
Questions, answered honestly
What is an AI visibility checker?
An AI visibility checker reviews whether a live webpage is ready for AI answers. It looks at readable text, titles, headings, and related signals. Rankateer’s free checker does that job. It does not score live mentions.
What is the difference between a mention, a citation, and a recommendation?
A mention names a brand, product, or business. A citation points to a URL as a source. A recommendation is when an assistant suggests a business or page as the answer. Any one can happen without the others. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can each answer differently, and the names can change with the question and the moment.
Does Rankateer’s free AI Visibility Checker measure share of voice?
No. It checks live-page readiness signals. It is not a live mention score, not share of voice, and not a guarantee of recommendations or a #1 ranking.
Will a good result make ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews recommend me?
No. A useful readiness result means the live page is easier to read. It does not mean an assistant already mentions, cites, or recommends you, and it does not promise that one will.
Is Rankateer the same as RanketAI?
No. Rankateer is the product at rankateer.com. RanketAI and similarly named tools are different products. Check the domain before you run a check or create an account.
What should I do after the free check?
Treat the result as readiness, not a ranking. Fix the signals on the live page, then run the check again. If an assistant names a competitor, read When AI recommends your competitors. For the approval-first loop, see How it works.
