When someone asks an AI assistant to recommend a coffee shop, a plumber, or any local business, does your name come up? The AI Ranking page in Praising.ai asks an AI model three questions a customer might ask about businesses like yours in your city, then shows which of its answers mention you and which businesses it names instead. It checks one AI model, so ChatGPT or Gemini may answer differently, but it gives you a clear baseline for your AI visibility.
The AI Ranking page opens with your overall visibility grade at the top. You'll see a percentage score and letter grade — in this example, 0% / Grade F — alongside a plain-English summary explaining that AI assistants aren't mentioning your business yet and are recommending competitors instead.
Read the summary carefully. It tells you your category and location (e.g., coffee shop in Austin, TX) so you can confirm Praising.ai is testing the right context for your business.
Scroll down to the How you show up section. Here you'll find the three questions Praising.ai asked, written the way a customer might ask an AI assistant. For each question, you can see:
Whether your business was mentioned or not mentioned
The exact competitors the AI named in your place
For example, the question "What are the best coffee shops in Austin TX?" returned Houndstooth Coffee, Cuvée Coffee, Epoch Coffee, Fleet Coffee, and Wright Bros. Brew & Brew — but not Acme Coffee Co. Seeing the precise wording of each question and the names that appeared helps you understand which types of searches are leaving you out.
Continue scrolling to "Who AI recommends most." This ranked list shows which competitors appeared most frequently across all tested queries. In this snapshot:
Houndstooth Coffee — 2 of 3 answers
Cuvée Coffee — 2 of 3 answers
Epoch Coffee — 2 of 3 answers
Use this leaderboard to identify your main competitors for AI visibility and see how consistently they're being surfaced. Businesses that appear in 2 or 3 out of 3 answers have strong, consistent signals. That's the benchmark to aim for.
AI answers can change from one check to the next. To get a fresh snapshot, click the Re-check button at the top of the page (you can run up to 5 checks an hour). Praising.ai asks three fresh questions and updates your score, the answers and the Who AI recommends most list.
The page footer shows when data was last collected — for example, Last checked 20 July 2026 — so you always know how fresh your current results are.
The note at the bottom of the page links to the GEO Agent (paid plans), which drafts articles from your reviews for you to post on your own website. Click Use the GEO Agent in that note to try it. Fresh, specific content about your business is the kind of signal AI assistants draw on, though nothing can guarantee a mention.
You can also open GEO Agent any time from Visibility in the left-hand navigation, where it sits under the AI Agent heading.
