How to Check If AI Recommends You (Do This Yourself)
Right now, somewhere, AI is recommending someone in your industry. The only question is whether it is you or your competitor.
In this episode, Crissy Conner, walks through the exact test she runs on herself every few months to check her AI visibility, across Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. She shows why a generic question like “who should I hire as a coach” will almost never surface, why a niche specific question changes everything and why being logged in can quietly lie to you by pulling from a memory instead of giving you a true public recommendation.
You will learn how deep you have to go before you show up, what to do when AI has outdated or inaccurate information about you and why your website’s About page is the single source of truth that fixes both your Google Visibility and your AI visibility at once.

BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS:
Right now AI is already recommending someone in your niche. The test is finding out if it is you.
A generic search like “who should I hire as a coach” is too broad for AI to surface a name. The more specific and niched the question, the more likely you are to show up. And knowing how your person would search helps too.
Always test logged out or in an incognito window. Logged in results can reflect AI’s memory of you rather than a true public recommendation.
Track how many layers deep you had to go to find yourself. Most potential clients will not scroll past the first screen or the AI overview.
Your website’s About page has to be the most accurate source of information about you. Every other online mention should match it.
Old, outdated or incongruent information (past titles, old jobs, old brand names) actively works against your AI visibility. Find it and correct it.
Being visible to AI and being visible to Google are the same project. Fixing your About page and your online consistency solves both at once.
FAQs
How do I check if AI recommends me?
Log out or us incognito window, then search a generic version of what you do in Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, for example “who would you recommend as a [your role]” Not whether your name appears, then get more specific by adding your niche or audience and see how many layers deep you have to go before you show up.
What should I do if AI has inaccurate information about me?
Ask the AI tool where it got the information. Most platforms will point to the source. Then correct that source and make sure your website’s About page reflects the most current, accurate version of what you do, since that page is the anchor everything else should match.
Why does a strong About page matter for showing up in AI overviews?
AI tools and Google’s AI Overview pull from the sources with the clearest, most consistent, most current information. A well maintained About page removes the confusion that keeps AI from confidently recommending you, and a confused AI will never recommend you.
