1. Confirm the entity
Freeze the business name, category, service area, website, and other applicable facts before interpreting an answer.
Perplexity citation diagnosis
Check how a Perplexity Sonar observation describes and sources your business.
A useful Perplexity visibility check separates the answer text from the cited pages. GeoCheckTool preserves both, compares them with customer-confirmed facts, and keeps the RAG/API route distinct from the signed-in Perplexity application.
One free Quick Diagnosis per account
Start a repeated Perplexity visibility diagnosis
Quick selects up to 4 confirmed buyer questions and uses n=3 repeated samples per selected question and available surface. Perplexity Sonar through OpenRouter is reported as a citation-preserving RAG/API observation.
The intake opens the official GeoCheckTool workflow. You confirm Business Facts and buyer questions before any Quick run. No credit card is required for the one free Quick Diagnosis.
Keep four results separate
| Result | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Brand mention | The observed answer contains the brand name. | Correct identity, endorsement, or recommendation. |
| Cited URL | The observed response included a source URL. | That the source supports every nearby claim. |
| Fact match | An answer statement matches a customer-confirmed fact. | That the statement will remain stable in later runs. |
| No mention | The observed answer did not name the brand in that sample. | Engine-wide invisibility or permanent exclusion. |
Perplexity visibility workflow
2. Preserve the answer and sources
Keep the raw answer, literal mention, cited URLs, provider outcome, and sample lineage instead of a screenshot-only score.
3. Turn accepted gaps into actions
Separate owned-page repairs from legitimate controlled or independent source gaps, then verify public actions and retest.
Perplexity visibility FAQ
Is this the signed-in Perplexity application?
No. The current GeoCheckTool route uses Perplexity Sonar through OpenRouter as a RAG/API observation. The product labels that route and does not present it as the consumer application.
Does a cited URL prove that Perplexity supports the claim?
No. A cited URL must be opened and checked against the exact claim. A reachable page, a domain mention, an archive page, and independent evidence are different states.
Can GeoCheckTool guarantee a future mention or citation?
No. GeoCheckTool preserves observations, evidence, uncertainty, and later comparable retests. It cannot control publication, crawling, indexing, model selection, citation, recommendation, ranking, or conversion.
