Which free tools can check a dental brand’s AI search visibility?
Citevio offers a free website scan and a free personalized report for dental brands checking visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Choose the instant scan for website checks; request the full report to check whether actual AI answers name your practice. If you are comparing free tools, look for the tested question, city, engine, complete answer and source links, rather than a score alone. Keep brand mentions separate from citations to your website. For a manual check, follow the step-by-step guide to what ChatGPT says about your practice and save each engine’s answer separately.
How does the AI visibility checker work?
The full-report form asks for your name, clinic name, city and state, clinic website, and an email address for the report. We run the questions your patients would actually ask — like the best cosmetic dentist or Invisalign provider in your area — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The report shows whether each engine names your practice, which competitors it names instead, and which technical and review checks failed.
There is no software to install and no account to create. Keep the website scan and the answer check separate: a site score does not establish that an AI engine recommends your practice. The full report checks actual answers across the four engines rather than inferring recommendations from the site score.
Citevio's published method is the Citation-to-Chair Protocol, six named layers — Discover, Read, Match, Trust, Answer, Chair — each targeting one break in the path between an AI assistant naming a practice and a booked case. The protocol runs on continuous measurement: between 3,600 and 7,200 AI answers are logged every month depending on plan, and every layer decision follows what those measurements show.

What open-data coverage separates this checker from other free tools?
The difference Citevio can document is its published evidence base, not a claim about another tool's quality. The open release contains a scan of 527 dental practice websites across 7 US metros and a domain-level access corpus of 6,497 domains. The raw files are downloadable, licensed CC BY 4.0 and identified by a DOI.
For a stable reference to that release, the archive has one permanent identifier. The permanent DOI is 10.5281/zenodo.23143214.
The 527 figure counts practice websites scanned. It is not a review-rating denominator and is not combined with any smaller subset. The open-data page provides the files and documentation so a reader can inspect the coverage behind the method.
Why check your AI visibility at all?
When a patient asks an AI assistant for a dentist recommendation, the answer is another place to check whether your practice appears. A visibility check records whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Overviews names your practice or competing clinics for the tested question. Use that observed answer as a baseline, rather than assuming it represents every patient or every future answer.
| Engine | What the platform documents | What the checker looks at |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Web search may be used, with links to sources | Whether you're named; record the answer and any source links |
| Google AI Overviews | Supporting pages must be indexed and eligible for a Search snippet | Whether you're named; source pages and profile completeness |
| Gemini | The Google Search guidance cited here does not describe the Gemini app | Check its answer separately; do not infer it from AI Overviews |
| Perplexity | PerplexityBot surfaces websites in search results | Whether you're named; record the answer and its source links |
It's a diagnostic baseline: where you stand today and which checks failed. We have not measured whether changing any one check causes an engine to name your clinic. It is not a guarantee of any ranking or patient volume, and it never involves fake reviews or gaming any platform.
What should you do with your results?
For a repeat check, save the exact question, city or neighborhood, engine, search setting, date, complete answer and source links. Reuse those conditions when comparing results, and keep a clinic-name mention separate from a link to its website. See how we measure AI visibility for the measurement method.
The report checks Bing indexing, structured data, Google Business Profile fields, review data and treatment-page content. It does not establish that changing any one check will cause an engine to name the practice.
You can act on the report yourself, or use it as the starting point for a conversation with us. Either way, the baseline is yours to keep. The full list of checks, in order, is in what an AI visibility audit checks.
Citevio publishes its pricing: Visibility is $1,400/mo plus $1,900 setup, Authority is $2,900/mo plus $3,500 setup, and Dominance is $5,500/mo plus $7,500 setup. Citevio does not guarantee placement, but it does guarantee the fee: if at least two of the four engines have not named the practice in one of the commercial-intent questions agreed at onboarding within 45 days of confirmed setup, the setup fee is refunded in full.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my dental practice?
Ask ChatGPT the questions your patients would ask — for example, the best cosmetic dentist or Invisalign provider in your city — and see whether your practice is named. Citevio's free checker records Bing indexing, business-information consistency, review data and structured data alongside that result. We have not measured whether changing any one of those checks causes ChatGPT to name a practice.
Is the AI visibility checker free?
Citevio offers a free AI visibility checker for a local business such as a cosmetic or Invisalign dental practice, with no sales call. After you submit your clinic details, Citevio sends a personalized report showing how your practice appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, plus which competitors are being recommended in your area.
What does the AI visibility report show?
The report shows whether each major AI engine names your practice, which competing clinics appear instead, and which technical and review checks failed. We have not measured whether changing any one check causes an engine to name a clinic.
Why do AI assistants recommend some dental clinics and not others?
The checker records Bing indexing, business-information consistency, review data and treatment content alongside whether each engine names the clinic. We have not measured whether changing any one of those checks causes an engine to name a clinic.
What's the difference between the instant scan and the full report?
The instant scan is free and immediate — it reads your website and scores it in seconds, no email or account required. The full report is the deeper check: you submit your clinic details and Citevio tests the real questions patients ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, then emails you a personalized report showing where you appear and which competitors are named instead.
What information do I need to submit for the full report?
The current form asks for your name, clinic name, city and state, clinic website, and an email address for your report. Submit practice information, not patient records. Citevio then tests patient questions across the four engines and sends the report by email.
Do I need to install anything or create an account to use the checker?
No. There is no software to install and no account to create for either part of the checker.
Will I have to get on a sales call to see my results?
No. The full report is delivered by email — no spam, no call, just the report.
Why does the checker test four AI engines instead of just ChatGPT?
The report checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews separately. An answer observed in one engine is not a measurement of what another engine says, so keep the actual answers and source links for each engine.
What does the checker look at for ChatGPT specifically?
OpenAI documents web search and source links in ChatGPT; that does not establish a single fixed source for every local answer. The checker records whether your practice is named alongside Bing presence and information consistency, without treating those checks as proof of why it was named.
What does the checker look at for Gemini and Google AI Overviews?
The report records whether each engine names your practice alongside profile completeness. Google's cited guidance covers AI Overviews and AI Mode in Search: supporting pages must be indexed and eligible for a snippet. It does not establish that the Gemini app uses the same sources or that profile completeness causes a recommendation.
What does the checker look at for Perplexity?
Perplexity documents that PerplexityBot surfaces websites in search results. The report records whether your practice is named alongside your site's content and mentions; the crawler guidance does not establish an authority or freshness ranking formula.
Can a competitor be recommended instead of me without my knowing it?
Yes. The check can show whether an engine names competing clinics and omits your practice for the tested question. That records the observed answer; it does not establish what every patient sees.
Is the report a guarantee that an AI engine will recommend my practice afterward?
No. The report is a diagnostic baseline — where you stand today and which checks failed. Citevio has not measured whether changing any one check causes an engine to name a clinic, and the report is not a guarantee of ranking or patient volume.
Does the checker or its report involve fake reviews or gaming any platform?
No. The report never involves fake reviews or gaming any platform — it only records what's actually true about your site, listings and reviews.
Beyond whether I'm named, what else does the full report check?
It checks Bing indexing, structured data, Google Business Profile fields, review data, and your treatment-page content. These are diagnostic checks; the report does not establish how much an engine uses each item or that changing it causes a recommendation.
What should I do after I get my results?
You can act on the report yourself, or use it as the starting point for a conversation with Citevio. Either way, the baseline is yours to keep.
Is the checker built for any dental practice, or only certain ones?
Citevio works only with cosmetic and Invisalign dental practices in the United States, and its full checker report is built around the questions patients ask about those treatments.
Does the checker need any of my patients' personal information?
No. The form asks for practice and contact information, including a report email. Do not submit patient names, phone numbers, appointment details or other patient records.
