Free check · asks ChatGPT live, or Claude if it is unavailable

AI visibility checker for therapists

Looking for a therapist is hard, and many people now start by asking ChatGPT. Enter your practice, your city and the kind of work you do. We ask ChatGPT three questions people ask when they look for a therapist and show who it names.

The way a client would put it: "therapy for anxiety", "grief counseling" or "counseling for teens".

The questions the check will ask

  1. How do I find a therapist in Philadelphia for couples counseling?
  2. Which therapists in Philadelphia take insurance and have openings for new clients?
  3. Is there a therapist in Philadelphia who offers couples counseling online and in person?

ChatGPT (or Claude if ChatGPT is unavailable) searches the web for each answer. An answer to the same question is shared for 7 days.

Questions people ask AI when they look for a therapist

People ask about fit, cost and access: who takes their insurance, who has evening hours, who shares their background. Each question is about who to see, and each brings different names.

  • Which therapists in Seattle take Aetna and have evening appointments?
  • Is there a sliding-scale counselor in Baltimore for someone without insurance?
  • How can I find a therapist of color in Oakland?
  • Which marriage and family therapists in Austin see couples on weekends?
  • Who offers grief counseling in Pittsburgh after losing a parent?
  • Is there a Spanish-speaking therapist in San Antonio who works with teens?
  • Which LGBTQ-affirming therapists in Denver offer online sessions across Colorado?
  • What does a therapy session cost in Boston without insurance, and who offers a free first call?

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

What ChatGPT reads before it names a therapist

When someone asks for a therapist in a city, ChatGPT searches and reads practice sites, therapist directories and license records. It names the therapists whose pages answer the practical questions: fit, cost, openings and where sessions happen.

  • Who you work with, in plain words

    People look for a therapist for couples, teens, grief or a life change. A page describing the clients you see and how you work, with no promise about outcomes, lets ChatGPT match you to that person’s question.

  • Fees, insurance and sliding scale

    Cost is one of the first things people ask. State your session fee, the insurance plans you accept, whether you offer a sliding scale and whether you provide paperwork for out-of-network claims.

  • License and the states you practice in

    People ask whether a therapist is licensed, and online sessions depend on the state a client lives in. Your license type and the states you can see clients in, written as text, match the records ChatGPT can find.

  • Directory profiles that match your site

    Psychology Today and similar directories describe therapists to people who search. When your name, credentials, fees and openings there match your own site, ChatGPT reads one therapist with one set of facts.

What three questions tell a therapy practice, and what they leave out

  • The check asks how people find a therapist, never what care anyone needs. It shows which practices ChatGPT names and says nothing about the quality of anyone’s work.
  • Answers shift between askings. Growth asks 50 client questions every week and counts how often your practice is named.
  • One focus per check. Couples work, teen therapy and grief counseling each bring different names, so check each focus you want clients for.
  • It reads the answer for the name and website you enter. A therapist listed under a personal name in directories and a practice name on the site should check both.

Frequently asked questions

Why does ChatGPT name other therapists in my city?

The pages it read describe those therapists for the question: the kind of client, the fee, the insurance, whether they have openings. If your site says little beyond a welcome note, there is little to repeat. Rankli shows each client question you lose and who is named, then writes a page that answers it.

Can a therapy practice keep every article to its own standards?

Yes. Every article can be held as a draft until you approve it. You can also list the words and claims your practice never uses, and a draft that contains one fails its checks. Rankli publishes only what you sign off.

What should a therapist’s website say so AI can recommend it?

The practical facts people ask about: who you see, how you work, your fee, the insurance you take, your openings and whether sessions are online or in person. Rankli plans pages from the questions people ask when they look for a therapist, and writes them from your own site.

Does my Psychology Today profile affect ChatGPT’s answer?

Directory profiles are pages ChatGPT can read when it searches, and it repeats what they state. Keep your profile matching your site: fees, insurance, openings. Rankli shows which pages each answer links to, so you see which profiles shaped it.

Is the therapist check free?

Free, with no account and no email. The 7-day free trial asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini up to 50 questions people ask when they look for a therapist, and lists the ones where another practice is named.
