Short answer

The website check (Quickscan) from Outseen is a free first technical impression of a website, followed by a short AI result. Atlas investigates your homepage and at most two other pages; then Outseen asks ChatGPT and Gemini six questions. Both results arrive by email.

The website check (Quickscan) from Outseen is a first technical impression of a website. Atlas, the research engine developed by Outseen, investigates your homepage and at most two other pages and returns the available findings. You see which pages were examined and which aspects need attention.

How does it work?

You enter your website and your email address. The website itself shows no result; everything arrives by email. First you receive the technical report from Atlas with the points that need attention and what you can do about them. Usually within half an hour, a second email follows with a short AI result: Outseen asks ChatGPT and Gemini the same six questions through their regular, logged-out websites and shows whether your business appears in the answers. There is a maximum number of AI results per day; if it has been reached, or the AI measurement did not work, you only receive the technical report. Entering your email address does not sign you up for a newsletter. You can start it on the website check page.

What does the website check not measure?

The website check does not measure your rankings in Google. The AI result is a single moment in two assistants: Perplexity and Copilot are still listed as not measured, and one answer says nothing about a trend. The website check also does not examine the whole website, nor the content or how well it fits your customers. If Atlas cannot determine something, the report says so.

Example

Say the website check finds a noindex on one of the pages it examined. That is a technical finding: Atlas found the instruction and recorded the source. Whether that noindex is intended is something you can discuss with Outseen.

Website check or audit?

The website check is a first impression. With an SEO and GEO audit, we agree in advance which pages and topics we investigate, specialists also assess content and structure, and you receive a plan with priorities. The difference is also covered in How Atlas investigates a website.
