## How to call it through Zero

zero fetch --capability tariffmonkee-ai-visibility-checker-72558016
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether Morning Bloom Coffee shows up in AI search results — specifically, does the AI mention the business and link to morningbloom.com when someone asks 'best specialty coffee shops in Austin'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to know whether a specific business or domain is surfacing in AI-generated answers with web search enabled — i.e. AI Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) monitoring. Prefer this over traditional SEO rank-check tools when the goal is AI citation presence rather than Google organic position. It complements the sibling keyword-rank endpoint, which checks Google SERPs, not AI responses.

## Known failure modes

- Business not mentioned because AI model returned a response with no web citations
- Domain found in response but business name not matched due to name variation
- Query too broad or too narrow resulting in irrelevant AI response
- AI model rate limits or web search temporarily unavailable
- Payment not settled via x402, request rejected
- False negative if AI mentions the business but spells name differently

## How this service works

Business/domain + query -> does it appear in AI answers. Sends the real query to a live AI model with web search enabled and checks the actual response for a mention of the business and a citation linking to the domain.

## Output

Returns whether the business name was mentioned in the AI model's live, web-search-enabled response to the query, and whether the domain appeared as a cited source — effectively a real-time AI brand visibility check with evidence from the actual AI-generated answer.
