Key point. Answer six questions about your site and your company's presence online to get a readiness band and the next steps that fit your answers. It takes about two minutes, and your answers stay in your browser.
The quiz covers six foundations we check first when we look at whether AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can find, read and correctly describe a company. The result is a self-assessment from your answers, not a measurement of what the engines say.
Take the quiz
What does the quiz ask about?
Each question covers one foundation, in the order we check them:
- What engines say today: whether you have asked AI engines your buyers' questions, without your name, more than once.
- Crawler access: whether the crawlers behind AI search can read your site through robots.txt, your CDN and your firewall.
- One company record: whether your site and your profiles describe the same, current company.
- Structured data: whether your home page carries Organization markup that matches the page.
- Third-party sources: whether independent sites your buyers read mention you.
- Original material: whether you publish data, methods or experience only you have.
How is the score worked out?
Each answer scores 2, 1 or 0 points, for a total out of 12. A total of 0 to 4 is Getting started, 5 to 8 is Partly ready, and 9 to 12 is Ready to measure. Every answer below full marks adds its own next step to your list, with a link to a free tool or guide.
The bands are a way to sort next steps, not a grade. Two companies with the same total can need very different work, which is why the step list follows your answers rather than your band.
What should you do after the quiz?
Start at the top of your step list: crawler access and your company record come first because everything else depends on them. For the full set of checks, use our 20-point AI visibility self-audit checklist, which links a free tool or guide to every point.
When the foundations are in place, the open question is what the engines say about your category. Lenz answers that for ChatGPT and Gemini, for free.
Frequently asked questions
Does the quiz check my website?
No. It scores only the answers you give and sends nothing anywhere. To check your robots.txt, use the free AI crawler check. To see what ChatGPT and Gemini say, run a free Lenz report.
Why is llms.txt not one of the questions?
An llms.txt file is optional hygiene, so it would not change your next steps. Our llms.txt guide covers what it does and does not do.
I scored "Ready to measure". Am I visible in AI search?
Not necessarily. The quiz checks foundations; visibility is whether engines name you when buyers ask, and only asking them shows that. Ask each question more than once, because answers change between identical asks.

How this page was made
The six questions follow the order of our AI visibility self-audit checklist, which condenses the procedures we use in our managed AEO work. We used an AI writing assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) to help draft the text. Dr. Maziar Gomrokchi reviewed the page, and Dr. Med approved it for publication.
