What It Is

Chef Data’s AI-vindbaarheid service is essentially a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) audit and monitoring offering for professional service firms. Instead of focusing only on Google SEO, it looks at how likely a company is to appear in AI search and generative answers from tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. A typical use case shown on the site is a user asking ChatGPT for “an employment lawyer in a certain location,” where the AI answer lists only a small number of firms. Businesses therefore need to know whether they are being mentioned.

Core Capabilities and Data

The product is split into Audit and Monitoring: Audit assesses your current position in AI search, while Monitoring continuously tracks whether visibility is improving. The page states that each report scans 4 AI platforms and that 250+ reports have already been generated; it also offers a free AI-check. Unfortunately, the page does not disclose the full list of the 4 platforms, keyword sample design, scoring model, sample reports, or update frequency. As a result, it is better suited as a lightweight diagnostic and external consulting service rather than a highly transparent self-service SaaS product.

Pricing and Support

Pricing is relatively clear: Audit costs a one-time €250 excluding VAT; Monitoring costs €150/month excluding VAT, with a minimum term of 3 months. The first 15-20 minute consultation is free. Support channels include a form, email, phone, and LinkedIn. Most work can be completed remotely, while in-person workshops or process scans are also available within the Netherlands. Payment methods are not disclosed.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its focus on AI search visibility, an emerging SEO need. The entry price is not high, making it especially suitable for small and midsize professional service firms in the Netherlands that want an initial baseline assessment. The service also builds on Chef Data’s background in Power BI and process automation, giving it a data consulting angle. The downside is that public information is limited, with no tool interface, sample report, integration capabilities, or methodology details provided. Monitoring also requires at least 3 months, which may be somewhat restrictive for customers who only want a short-term test.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to local Dutch and European professional service providers such as law firms, consultancies, accounting firms, and training companies that want to understand whether they are likely to be recommended by AI systems. If a Chinese company mainly targets the Chinese-language market, it may need alternatives that support ecosystems such as Baidu, Doubao, Tongyi, and DeepSeek. Access from China cannot be determined from the available text and is therefore assessed as unknown; cross-border payment and invoice handling should also be confirmed separately.
