Check your business
Word of mouth still matters. AI creates another shortlist.
When a potential customer asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a local business, the answer may name several firms. Sichtindex shows whether yours appears, who else is on that list, and where to look for possible improvements.

Compare your business with the firms that appear in the same customer questions.
Check again next week
A weekly email records what changed across the same questions and assistants.

Review cited pages and specific website gaps before deciding what to improve.
Sample: Konstanz, 18 September 2026.
What happened in a local test
We asked ChatGPT and Gemini for plumbing firms in Konstanz. ChatGPT named sixteen businesses; Gemini named three. A business absent from those particular answers was not suggested in that test. The lists can change by prompt, location and date.
See whether the answers change.
After an improvement, one check tells you little. Sichtindex repeats the questions weekly and counts your mentions. A trend is useful evidence of movement; one rise does not prove what caused it.

What your paid plan adds
- Your individual diagnosis, backed by the findings for your business.
- Prioritised actions and practical guidance for you or your website manager.
- Repeated measurements to track changes over time.
Illustrative figures and business. Your actual report uses the answers collected for your own business.
One check is a snapshot. You need the trend.
The free check is three questions to ChatGPT on one day. Paid monitoring repeats five questions each week across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, so you can compare answers over time.
No service can guarantee a recommendation by AI. Sichtindex measures the answers and gives you leads to investigate; you decide what to change.
You can ask ChatGPT yourself. This is useful for a first look; the paid service repeats the same questions across assistants and records the trend for you.
Monthly plans can be cancelled for the end of the billing period. Yearly plans run until the end of the paid year. No setup fee.

Websites
A new website. Someone to look after it.
We build a website that explains your services and makes enquiries easier. With ongoing care if you choose it: technical maintenance, agreed improvements and repeated visibility checks in Google and AI answers.

Questions
Do you guarantee the AI will recommend me?
No. Nobody can honestly promise that — the assistants decide for themselves, and answers can change. We show you what they said in the tested questions, who else they named and which sources they cited.
Which AI assistants do you check?
The free check asks ChatGPT with web search. Paid monitoring checks ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude; Agency adds Google AI Mode. The Audit asks all four, Google AI Mode when Google knows your town. Results are dated benchmarks and may differ from a person's account or device.
Can't I just ask ChatGPT myself?
Once, yes, and it's a good start. But the answer depends on who asks and when: your own account knows you and your searches, and tomorrow's list can look different. Sichtindex asks the same customer questions every week, fresh and without your history, in ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, and records how often you were named, who was named instead and which pages the AI read. You get a trend instead of a snapshot and can see whether the answers changed after your work — without pretending that timing alone proves the cause.
How do I cancel?
Solo and Agency can be cancelled in your account, effective at the end of the current billing period: your monthly renewal date, or the end of the paid twelve months for annual billing. Those plans have no setup fee. Website projects and ongoing care follow their individual written agreement.
What happens to my data?
The database is in Frankfurt. Hosting, payments, email and AI/search providers may also process data internationally. Unbranded measurement questions omit your business name; AI drafts and analyses may use the business details you enter. The privacy notice explains recipients and data flows.
Do I need to install anything or change my website?
No. You enter name, town and trade; we do the rest. Changes to your website are suggestions, not requirements.
Will a Google Preferred Sources button make AI recommend me more?
Google describes this as a reader preference for publications. A person who selects a source may see its articles highlighted in Top Stories or AI results. Google does not say it improves rankings for everyone, and a missing button is not a problem for an ordinary local business. The free website check explains when it is relevant.
How is this different from a marketing agency?
We sell no packages and no promises. You get a measurement you can check every week — the answers word for word — and concrete leads. Act on them yourself or with your agency.
I'm fully booked. Do I need this?
Honestly: probably not. Sichtindex pays off when you want more work, or different work — more bathroom refits instead of small repairs, say.
How long does what take?
The free check: 20 to 60 seconds. The website check: a few seconds. The Audit: by email, usually 5 to 10 minutes after payment, with the re-check 30 days later. The weekly check: the first report within about an hour of adding your business, then every seven days by email.
