AI visibility audit · free Shortlist Scan
AI visibility audit: is your firm named when a buyer asks AI?
An AI visibility audit asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews your buyers’ questions and records whether each answer names your firm, mentions it or leaves it out. Ours, the Shortlist Scan, is free for firms with partners: 20 questions, 3 runs each, against 3 competitors you name.

Named, mentioned or absent.
- Named
- The answer recommends your firm by name. The only state that puts you on a buyer’s shortlist.
- Mentioned
- Your firm appears, but not as a pick: in passing, as a caveat, or only as a linked source under the answer.
- Absent
- Neither your name nor your pages appear. The buyer never meets you through that answer.
In the second Perplexity answer of 12 October 2026, Agency D, Agency F, Agency E were named; Agency G, Agency H, Agency I were mentioned as sources only.
Run a 10-minute self-check first.
Open ChatGPT in a private window and ask prompts A, B and C three times each, with your own practice, firm and city in the brackets. Keep the best of the three runs: named (the answer recommends your firm by name), mentioned (your firm appears, but not as a pick: in passing, as a caveat, or only as a linked source under the answer) or absent.
How the Scan is run.
- 1
The questions
We draft 20 questions from your service pages, your partners’ sectors and the 3 competitors you name: 8 that ask which firm to call, 6 about a problem you solve, 4 comparisons and 2 about your firm by name. You approve the list before we run it.
- 2
The runs
Each question goes to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, 3 times, in fresh sessions. Answers vary between runs, so a firm counts as named on a question when at least 2 of the 3 runs name it, and the report shows the count.
- 3
The reading
An agent captures the answers and their sources. A person on the Jungle Roots team, led by Loïc Guyon, reads every answer and classifies it before anything reaches you. Raw answers come with the report.
- 4
What you get
The 20 questions, the answers, your state next to the 3 competitors on each one, and the missing sources that explain the absences, in the order worth fixing. We reply by email; nothing is published and nothing is signed.

Questions about AI visibility audits
What is an AI visibility audit?
A structured check of how AI engines answer your buyers’ questions: which firms they name, which sources they cite, and whether your firm is named, mentioned or absent. It is run on a fixed list of questions so it can be repeated and compared.
How is it different from an SEO audit?
An SEO audit checks how your pages rank on a results page. An AI visibility audit checks what the generated answer says, which firms it names and which pages it relies on. A firm can rank well and still be absent from the answer.
Why ask each question three times?
Because answers change between runs. On 12 October 2026, ChatGPT put a different agency first in each of three answers to the same question. Counting how often a firm is named across runs separates a steady position from a lucky one.
Who runs the Shortlist Scan?
We write the 20 questions from your pages, your partners’ sectors and the 3 competitors you name, and you approve the list. Each question goes 3 times to each engine, in fresh sessions. An agent captures the answers and their sources, then a person on the Jungle Roots team reads and classifies every answer before the report goes out. The raw answers come attached to the report.
What does an AI visibility audit cost?
The Shortlist Scan is free. The Report costs $499 and the Session $999, each deducted if you sign a pack. The Diagnostic costs $2,999, takes about three weeks and is deducted from your first monthly fee if you sign.
One audit, one action plan, and you choose who applies it.
Every page on this site leads to the same starting point: the free Shortlist Scan, then the Diagnostic. The action plan that comes out of it is built for your firm, channel by channel, and applied with you or for you.
