We Built a Free Tool That Shows What AI Knows About Your Business

Most local businesses have no idea they’re invisible to ChatGPT.

Someone in your town asks “best plumber near me” and ChatGPT names three businesses. Yours isn’t one of them. Not because you’re worse. Because the AI couldn’t read your website.

This is happening now. Not in five years. Today.

The Problem

AI agents like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI don’t show a list of ten blue links anymore. They read websites directly, decide who fits, and name 2-3 businesses. That’s it.

If your site is hard for AI to parse — missing structured data, blocking crawlers, vague about what you do or where you are — you don’t exist to these systems. Your competitor who fixed those things gets the call.

What We Built

We kept hearing this from clients. So we built a free scanner that checks your site the way AI does.

It tells you:

  • Can AI find your business name, phone, address, services?
  • Are you accidentally blocking AI crawlers in robots.txt?
  • Do you have the structured data AI needs to understand you?
  • Most importantly: What does Perplexity AI actually say when someone asks about you?

No signup. Paste your URL, get results in 30 seconds.

What It Checks

21 technical checks across seven categories:

  • Identity: Can AI find your business name and category?
  • Contact: Phone, address, hours readable?
  • Basic readiness: HTTPS, mobile-friendly, load speed
  • AI signals: robots.txt blocking AI? llms.txt present? Structured data?
  • Structured data: JSON-LD, Schema.org, OpenGraph tags

Then it mirrors what AI actually says about you. Not a guess. Real Perplexity API results showing:

  • Does AI know what you do?
  • Does it recommend you when asked?
  • What’s missing?

Why We Made It Free

Because most local small businesses don’t know this is a problem until they’ve lost customers to it.

We’re a digital marketing agency. This is lead-gen for us. But the tool gives real value regardless of whether you hire anyone. You get actionable results either way.

If you can fix it yourself, great. If you want help, we’re here.

Who Should Use It

Any local business that depends on new customers finding them:

  • Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, contractors
  • Dentists, chiropractors, doctors, vets
  • Restaurants, salons, gyms, coffee shops
  • Lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, real estate

If you have a website and want to know what AI sees when it reads it: scan it.

What Happens Next

Scan your site. Look at the results.

If everything’s green, you’re ahead of 95% of local businesses. Share it.

If you see red, you know what to fix. Some things you can handle yourself (writing a clear description of your services, making sure your address is visible). Some things need a developer (adding structured data, fixing robots.txt).

Either way, you’re not guessing anymore.

Scan your site: localaichecker.norzer.me

Takes 30 seconds. No email, no signup, no strings.

See what AI sees.

Ryan McCain
Ryan McCain is the founder of Norzer and has spent over 25 years in IT. Technology runs in the family. His dad led the team that programmed the navigation system for the first space shuttle, and when Ryan was about 10, his parents brought home a Commodore 64. While his dad read the manual, Ryan was already wiring it up and making it run. That moment lit the fuse. By the late '80s and early '90s, he was running an underground BBS from his bedroom, hacking phone lines, and learning to break and rebuild tech just for the challenge. (And yes, he's still a 2600 reader.) That same hacker-born mindset runs Norzer today: local SEO, GEO, AI, WordPress hosting, performance, and security. He stays on the cutting edge of how AI is reshaping search, and he's helped hundreds of small businesses rank higher, load faster, stay safer, and generate real, measurable leads, all without the big-agency nonsense. Outside of Norzer, he's an animal lover, an experimental home cook, and a loyal Boston sports fan from his IBM days. And Norzer is "Reznor" scrambled, a nod to Trent Reznor and a symbol of Ryan's roots in tech, music, and thinking differently.
