ConversionBox launches free AI visibility grader

ConversionBox has released a free AEO/GEO Grader that checks how organizations appear in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. The tool grades AI visibility from A to F and is meant to help teams understand whether they are named, cited or recommended in category-related prompts.

Why it matters: - Traditional SEO tools show search rankings, not whether an organization shows up inside AI-generated answers. - The new grader is aimed at marketing, communications and digital teams that need a clearer view of AI search visibility. - The tool is free and does not require a platform integration or technical installation.

What happened: - ConversionBox announced the public launch of its AEO/GEO Grader on July 16, 2026. - The tool accepts a public website URL and emails a report with an overall A-to-F visibility grade. - The grader tests category questions across ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. - The tool is available now at no cost at the AI visibility audit.

The details: - The report includes six assessments: AEO Readiness, GEO Visibility, E-E-A-T, AI Citations, Sentiment and Competition. - AEO Readiness measures whether website content is structured so AI systems can access, understand and use it to generate answers. - GEO Visibility measures how often the organization appears when category-related questions are tested across supported AI engines. - E-E-A-T reviews signals tied to experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust. - AI Citations checks whether the organization is mentioned or cited in individual responses. - Sentiment evaluates how the organization is described. - Competition measures the share of tested answers that name competing organizations. - Each assessment is scored out of 100 and rolls up into the overall A-to-F grade. - The grader records whether the organization is mentioned, how it is described, which sources are cited and which competitors appear in responses. - The report separates answers generated from model knowledge from answers produced with live web search. - The report also highlights gaps tied to website structure, external authority, citations, brand recognition, sentiment and competitive share of voice. - The tool is designed for businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations with publicly accessible websites. - ConversionBox describes the product as industry-agnostic and platform-agnostic.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a shift in digital discovery from search rankings to answer rankings inside AI systems. - The distinction between model knowledge and live web search matters because it shows whether an AI engine already recognizes a brand or needs current sources to surface it. - The grading model turns an abstract visibility problem into specific operational buckets that teams can act on. - Mariappan said the grader is intended as a practical diagnostic and a measurable starting point for organizations evaluating their presence in AI-generated answers.

What's next: - Organizations using the grader can use the report to prioritize fixes in content structure, authority, citations, sentiment and competitive visibility. - ConversionBox says the tool is meant to give teams a clearer view of what AI engines currently say about them. - ConversionBox also offers AI visibility monitoring, AI site search, conversational search, AI shopping assistance and ecommerce product-discovery tools. - ConversionBox is a sister company of The Commerce Shop. - More information is available at ConversionBox and on LinkedIn.

The bottom line: - ConversionBox is betting that AI visibility will need its own measurement stack, separate from traditional SEO.
