Free tools
Free SEO and AI visibility tools, no signup
The questions a startup asks in its first month — does ChatGPT know we exist, who links to us, what should we rank for — each answered by a tool you can use right now, without an account.
AI Visibility Checker
Does ChatGPT name you when someone asks for your category?
What you get: Five buyer questions asked of ChatGPT, whether you were named in each, who was named instead, and the URLs it cited.
First check free, no signup. A second check asks for an email.
Backlink Checker
Who links to any domain, and how strong those links are.
What you get: Domain rank, total backlinks, referring domains, dofollow share, spam score, the top 100 links — and, with a competitor, the sites linking to them and not to you.
First check free, no signup. A second check asks for an email.
Keyword Research Tool
Volume, difficulty, CPC and intent for up to 100 related keywords.
What you get: A hundred phrases that contain your seed, sorted by monthly volume, with a difficulty score, search intent and a flag on the ones phrased as questions. CSV export.
First search free, no signup. A second search asks for an email.
llms.txt Generator
A spec-correct llms.txt with a live preview, copy and download.
What you get: A Markdown file following llmstxt.org: name, one-line summary, your key pages as links, and an Optional section. Nothing leaves your browser.
Free, unlimited, no signup — it runs entirely in your browser.
What an AI visibility score is
An AI visibility score is the share of buyer questions for which an AI assistant names your brand. Ask ChatGPT five questions a customer might ask about your category; if it names you in one of them, your score is 1 of 5, or 20%. It is a mention rate, not a ranking — the same idea as “how often do we appear on page one” in classic SEO, applied to answers instead of results.
The baseline is low for almost everyone. Ahrefs found 26% of brands have no AI Overview mentions at all, and most startups score 0 of 5 the first time they check. The score matters because it moves: it goes up when the sources the assistant reads — listicles, comparison pages, Reddit threads, directories — start mentioning you. The checker explains what counts as a good score and how ChatGPT picks the sources it cites.

AI crawler access checker coming
Whether your robots.txt blocks GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot.
Questions about the tools
- Are these tools free?
- Yes. The AI visibility checker, backlink checker and keyword tool are free for the first run with no signup; a second run asks for an email address because each lookup costs us real money in data fees. There is no card and no trial clock. The llms.txt generator is free without limit — it runs entirely in your browser.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Nothing on this page needs a Sightivo account. An account is what you open when you want the checks to run on a schedule, with history and the list of things to do about the result.
- Where does the data come from?
- The backlink and keyword tools use a commercial link and keyword index — the same kind of source the paid SEO suites license. The AI visibility checker asks ChatGPT the questions directly and records what it says. Each tool page explains its source and how fresh the data is.
- Which AI engines do you check?
- The free checker asks ChatGPT. The Sightivo app tracks ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Overviews. We do not claim other engines until we track them properly.
- Can I use them for client sites?
- Yes. Enter any domain or keyword. The per-run limits are the same for everyone; if you need dozens of checks a day, an account removes the shared ceiling.
- What is the difference between the free checker and the Sightivo app?
- The checker is a one-off snapshot of five questions. The app tracks a prompt set you choose across three engines on a schedule, shows what changed week to week, and turns every gap into the pages to publish and the sources to get mentioned on, with the authors found and the outreach drafted.
