Free check · asks Claude live while ChatGPT is paused, with a second opinion from Perplexity

AI visibility checker for AI consultants

Leaders planning their first AI projects ask an assistant who can advise them before they ask their board. Enter your practice and what you advise on. We ask Claude, with Perplexity as a second opinion, three questions and show which consultants it named.

The engagement and the client: "AI policy and governance for credit unions", "staff AI training for law firms".

Asks ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini or Perplexity if ChatGPT is unavailable), then Perplexity for a second opinion. Free, no account, about a minute. Add your website and a link to it counts too.

The questions the check will ask

  1. Which AI consultants specialize in AI adoption strategy for mid-sized manufacturers?
  2. Which independent AI consultants specialize in AI adoption strategy for mid-sized manufacturers and have written about it publicly?
  3. Which AI consulting firms specialize in AI adoption strategy for mid-sized manufacturers, and how do their engagements usually start?

ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini or Perplexity if ChatGPT is unavailable), then Perplexity for a second opinion searches the web for each answer. An answer to the same question is shared for 7 days.

Questions leaders ask AI when they look for an AI advisor

A leader hiring an AI consultant is buying judgement, not software. The question names the industry, the decision in front of them and often the risk they worry about, such as data privacy or staff pushback.

  • Which AI consultants specialize in helping hospitals evaluate clinical AI vendors?
  • Who can run an AI readiness assessment for a 200-person insurance brokerage?
  • Which AI consultants specialize in writing an acceptable use policy for staff?
  • Is there an AI consultant who trains accounting teams to use assistants safely with client data?
  • Which consultants help manufacturers decide where AI fits on the shop floor?
  • Which AI strategy consultants work with school districts?
  • Who advises private equity firms on AI due diligence for acquisitions?

The check asks 3. On Growth, Rankli asks 50 of yours every week on Claude and Gemini.

What an assistant reads before it names an AI consultant

For an advisor question, the assistant searches for people and firms tied to the industry and the decision. It reads consultant sites, articles and talks, podcast pages and professional profiles, and names who they describe as expert in it.

  • Published thinking on the exact problem

    An article on choosing an AI vendor for a hospital, or a talk on AI policy for banks, is a page an assistant can find and cite for that question. Generic posts about "the AI revolution" tie you to nothing in particular.

  • A services page per engagement type

    An assessment, a policy, a training program and a vendor selection are different purchases. Describe each one with its steps, its length and what the client receives, so a question about one of them finds a match.

  • Profiles that match your site

    Professional profiles, speaker bios and podcast guest pages often describe a consultant in their own words. When they state the same industry and focus your site does, the assistant has a consistent picture to repeat.

  • Credentials you can stand behind

    Past roles, industries served and published work give an assistant facts to repeat. State only what is true and checkable, and quote clients only with their permission: an inflated claim travels as easily as a real one.

Rankli for agencies

What three questions tell an AI consultant, and what they miss

  • Advisory work is often won through a network. An assistant’s answer is one of several places a leader looks, and this measures only that place.
  • It checks one engagement and industry per run. Growth asks 50 questions a week across them and counts how often you are named.
  • For now it asks Claude, with Perplexity as a second opinion, and says which assistant gave each answer (ChatGPT resumes once our OpenAI access is restored). ChatGPT and Gemini can name other businesses for the same question.
  • It looks for your practice name and website. If clients know you by your own name, run it again with that name.

Frequently asked questions

Why do AI assistants name other AI consultants for my industry?

Their sources tie those consultants to the industry and the decision in the question, usually through articles, talks and service pages. Rankli shows which advisor questions you lose and drafts the page that answers each one.

Does a solo AI consultant have a chance against large firms?

Yes, on specific questions. Large firms dominate broad ones, but a narrow question about one industry and one decision is often answered from the most specific page found. Rankli helps you publish those pages.

Should I write under my own name or my firm’s?

Pick the name clients search for and use it consistently across your site and profiles, so an assistant links the work to one entity. Rankli can track both names in one project.

Which questions should an AI consultant track?

Questions that start an engagement: by industry, by decision such as vendor choice or policy, and by concern such as privacy or training. Rankli drafts that list from your services, and you can add your own.

Is the AI consultant check free?

Yes, with no account. The 7-day free trial of Rankli asks Claude and Gemini up to 50 of the questions your prospects ask.
