AI Visibility Scorecard
Reference Check
testmyreference.com · E-commerce
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Reference Check, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About Reference Check
from our crawl and measurement
Reference Check describes itself simply: "Don’t take a chance on losing your dream job or that juicy new account, let us do a covert reference check on your behalf." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.4 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure. It is passable on basic crawler access. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, sitemaps and entity links AI can follow, structured data describing the business and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.
Off the page, almost no other sites link to it, the domain does not yet read as established, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.
The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 3.4/10, Reference Check is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Choose the reference check package you’re interested in below, answer a few questions, and upload your resume or credentials. We’ll arrange a phone call with your reference using a secure email address and corporate-facing website. We’ll report back to you with results within one business day of reaching your reference.
Why do I need a reference check?
Sometimes references will have nothing but bad things to say about you. Perhaps they felt threatened by you when you worked there, or maybe they’re worried that you’re going to be competing against them in the future. Other times, references will give neutral, non-committal answers, because they don’t want it to get back to you that they dissed you.
