# Introduction to Are you found by AI?

> Are you found by AI? asks the questions your buyers ask AI engines, saves the answers, and shows how often the engines name your business, who they name instead, and what to fix.

Are you found by AI? is built and operated by Tech Horizon Labs at [areyoufoundbyai.com](https://areyoufoundbyai.com). It asks the questions your buyers ask AI engines, saves the answers, and shows whether the engines name your business and who they name instead. The free scan asks ChatGPT and Gemini. The full measurement covers seven engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews. Paste in your website, wait about a minute, and read the answers behind the result.

## What you get

| Deliverable | What it tells you |
| - | - |
| **Named share** | The headline measure: countable saved answers that name your business, divided by all countable saved answers. Named in 7 of 28 countable answers is 25%. |
| **Saved answers** | The answers each engine returned, question by question, with the sources returned with them. |
| **Who AI names instead** | The businesses the engines named instead of you, and how often. |
| **Site checks** | AI Readiness (out of 100) scores how well your website itself is set up to be understood by AI. Footprint (out of 100) scores your off-site presence separately. |
| **Fix plan** | A prioritised plan that turns the measurement into specific work, with generated schema and llms.txt you can use where they fit your site. |

Read the named share with the questions, engines, date and answer count beside it. A short free scan is a smaller sample than a full check.

<Note>
  Reports and the API also carry an **AI Visibility score** out of 100. It is an older weighted diagnostic score. It is not a percentage of AI recommendations, and it cannot be converted into a named share. See [AI Visibility vs AI Readiness](/docs/concepts/visibility-vs-readiness).
</Note>

### AI Readiness signals

AI Readiness is measured from your site alone and is composed of five site signals: **Citability** (quotable content), **E-E-A-T** (trust and credibility), **Technical** (site health), **Schema** (machine-readable business facts) and **Platform** (AI-ready setup). A signal that could not be verified is left out rather than scored zero, and each report states the share each signal carries. Your off-site Footprint is scored beside Readiness, not inside it. See [AI Readiness and Footprint](/docs/concepts/geo-score).

## Plans and pricing

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Free" icon="circle-check">
    **US\$0, no signup**

    2 questions on 2 engines (ChatGPT and Gemini), re-checked monthly. Your result in about a minute, who AI names instead of you, an email when your result moves, and your own AI can read it over MCP.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pro" icon="chart-line">
    **US\$79 a month for 14,000 tokens, or US\$869 a year**

    Every site you add spends from the same tokens. A check of 25 buyers' questions plus a fresh site read uses 3,150 tokens: four checks use 12,600, and a fifth needs saved tokens or a top-up. You choose weekly, monthly or whenever you like. What each engine said and what changed, who AI names instead of you, new pages that mention you, the fix plan, a count of the visitors AI sends you, and your own AI over MCP. Plus GST in Australia (US\$86.90 a month, or US\$955.90 a year).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Token packs" icon="coins">
    **US\$10, US\$20 or US\$50**

    Buy tokens without a subscription: US\$10 buys 1,000 tokens, US\$20 buys 2,000 and US\$50 buys 5,000. Pack tokens last twelve months. Agencies run all their clients from one account: see [areyoufoundbyai.com/agencies](https://areyoufoundbyai.com/agencies).
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Pro comes with a guarantee: if your first month's report does not give you at least five specific things you did not already know, reply within seven days for a full refund. Pro re-measures your pinned buyer questions on the schedule you choose, so you can compare the same questions and engines over time. A website change does not guarantee that an engine will recommend you.
</Note>

### What tokens pay for

Each check spends tokens from your account. Pro deposits 14,000 tokens every month (for twelve months on the annual plan). Tokens you don't use last three months, and you can hold up to 42,000. If you are about to run out, we tell you before a check starts.

| What you run | Tokens |
| - | - |
| Ask AI one buyer question | 100 |
| Read your site again (search, citation and listing data) | 650 |
| Add one suburb to your local map | 40 |
| Look up how many people search a question | 25 |
| Look at your saved results and reports | 0 |

Prices are in US dollars and exclude GST; Australian customers pay 10% GST at checkout. See [areyoufoundbyai.com/pricing](https://areyoufoundbyai.com/pricing) for current terms.
