1. Confirm your business
Use your connected location. Check its name, services and address so the questions refer to the correct area.

Quick Answer
AI Search Visibility is a diagnostic: it samples supported AI APIs and saves the observed answers for the selected business location. It does not measure live consumer-app rankings, Google AI Overviews or attributed sales. Unavailable provider responses are shown as unknown rather than counted as misses.
One location. Three clear steps.
2. Inspect observed answers
With verified access, run a bounded check. See supported engines, exact prompts, dated excerpts, usable samples and missing responses.
3. Improve real information
Review your profile and website for accuracy. Compare a later report after making useful changes. A trend in samples is not proof of incremental revenue.

What this report can—and cannot—tell you
Observed evidence
Whether a sampled answer named your business, what the answer said, which other names were present, and when it was checked. Your workspace identifies which APIs are configured and when coverage is incomplete.
Not a ranking or sales guarantee
These samples do not establish your position across all customer searches or prove leads, bookings or revenue. We do not label a Gemini simulation as a measured Google AI Overview.
Build on sound search fundamentals
Google’s guidance keeps the focus on accessible, helpful content and accurate business information. Keep important facts in visible text, allow appropriate crawling, and make structured data match the page. Special AI files or markup do not create guaranteed eligibility or inclusion.

What does AI Search Visibility measure?
MapScan’s location workspace samples answers from configured OpenAI, Perplexity Sonar and Gemini APIs. Reports show questions, dates, usable answer counts and excerpts. An API observation is not a consumer-app ranking or measured customer traffic.
Will this guarantee a recommendation or a higher ranking?
No. AI answers vary with the service, question, location, model and time. A missing mention in a small sample does not establish that a business is invisible, and a mention does not prove that it generated a lead or sale.
Does Google require special AI markup or a minimum review count?
Google says normal SEO fundamentals remain relevant to AI Overviews and AI Mode, with no additional technical requirements or special AI files or schema needed. Eligibility does not guarantee indexing or inclusion. MapScan does not use a review-count threshold as proof of AI visibility.
How does the paid feature start?
Connect and choose your business, then review AI Search access in Billing. Any eligible trial, add-on price, continuing base-plan charges, renewal date and cancellation terms are shown before explicit confirmation. Opening a report page does not start a purchase.
How should I evaluate the value?
Read actual answer excerpts, correct inaccurate business information, and compare later checks using similar questions. The break-even planner uses your own customer-profit estimate. It is a planning calculation, not expected or attributed ROI.
