How it works

We crawl your website the same way ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity do. Can they find you? Can they understand what you offer? Would they recommend you to a traveller? We check your structured data, content quality and technical signals, then give you a score out of 100 and a grade from A to F.

Frequently asked questions

How many pages does the scanner check?
We sample up to 3 key pages from your site: your homepage, plus up to 2 other important pages (like your about page, a tour page, or your booking page), and your most recent blog post. We pick pages based on what matters most for AI visibility. If your site has a sitemap, we use that to find your pages. If not, we look at what pages are linked from your homepage. It's a snapshot, not a full crawl. The patterns we find on your key pages usually reflect your whole site.
Why didn't it scan a specific page on my site?
The scanner prioritises pages that AI search engines care about most: your homepage, about page, tour or activity pages, booking pages, and accommodation pages. If your page URL doesn't match common patterns (like /about, /tours, or /booking), it may not be picked up in the sample. If you don't have a sitemap, the scanner can only find pages linked from your homepage.
What does the scanner actually look at?
We check 8 categories: structured data (schema markup), content quality, meta tags and SEO, technical performance, facts and business details, booking findability, content freshness, and rich media. These are the signals AI search engines use to decide whether to recommend your business to a traveller.
Can I scan my site again?
Each website is scanned at most once every 7 days. If you ask again within 7 days of the last scan, we email you that result.
Can I get a comprehensive assessment of how visible my business is to AI search engines?

Yes. Tourism Tribe offers a comprehensive GEO assessment that audits your entire online presence through the lens of generative AI and gives you a clear action plan to get found where travellers are actually searching. This includes:

  • Tested across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Bing AI
  • Google AI Overviews visibility check
  • Schema, structured data, and content audit
  • Competitor AI visibility comparison
  • Customised action plan to improve AI discoverability
