About AskMention
A solo-built tool to help businesses get recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity — not just rank on Google.
Why AskMention exists
AI search is happening right now. ChatGPT has 900 million weekly users. Perplexity handles 500 million queries a month. Google AI Overviews reach 1.5 billion people in 200+ countries. When someone asks AI "what's a good nutritionist in Schermbeck?" or "what's the best CRM for a small agency?" — the AI is going to recommend a real business by name. The question is whether that business is yours, or your competitor's.
Most SMBs don't know whether AI mentions them. Most SEO tools don't tell them. AskMention does. It scans your site across the AI platforms that matter, scores how visible you are, and gives you a concrete checklist of fixes — copy-paste schema, llms.txt, content rewrites — so you can actually improve your visibility instead of just measuring the problem.

I’m a software engineer with 20+ years of experience building web products. I built AskMention because I kept seeing small businesses pour money into traditional SEO while AI search ate their organic traffic — and they had no idea it was happening. AskMention is intentionally solo-built: every feature is something I’d use myself, and I dogfood the entire product on this site every day.
We use AskMention on ourselves
The most honest test of a GEO tool is whether it works on the tool itself. Our public scan results are live — no cherry-picking, no marketing edits:
How we work
- Solo and independent. No VC, no growth team, no “AI-generated everything.” Every feature is shipped by Gerrit.
- Real data only. Scores come from actually asking AI platforms, not from proxy metrics. If a score moves, you can verify it.
- Public scan URLs. Every scan creates a shareable, indexable report. Yours and ours.
- Stripe, not surveillance. We don’t sell data. We charge for the product.
- Dogfooded continuously. If a feature doesn’t help us, it gets removed.
