Brand visibility in AI search, checked in one run

Brand visibility in AI search means a buyer asked an assistant for a shortlist, and your name was on it — or it was not.

The phrase sits between a category ("generative engine optimization") and a button ("AI visibility checker"). The category is how people talk about being recommended. The button is how you see whether you were. SeenByLLMs is the button.

What this check is

  • One run you start. There is no scheduled run.
  • No SeenByLLMs account, no shared seats, no data that follows you to another machine.
  • You bring an OpenRouter key. Model calls are billed by OpenRouter, on top of $0, $12/mo, or $49 once.
  • API answers, not the ChatGPT website and not Google AI Overviews.
  • It reports what the models said this time. It does not promise a higher rank.

What the check is measuring

Not traffic. Not a rank on a search results page. Not whether a blog post about you exists. It measures the answer: for each question, named or absent, the order names appeared, and the URLs the model cited when web search was on.

If an assistant names someone else, the visit never starts. Analytics cannot show that loss, because there was no visit. The report is the record of the miss. Five published examples are on the case studies page.

For the category background — what people mean by generative engine optimization, and what they do not mean — read the GEO note. It is explanation, not a service menu.

Questions

What is brand visibility in AI search?

It is whether an assistant names your brand when a buyer asks what to use. SeenByLLMs checks that by sending those questions to the models you select and scoring the answers.

Is this the same as generative engine optimization?

No. Generative engine optimization is the category name for trying to be named more often. This page is the measurement: were you named on this run. We do not sell optimization services.
