The AI Visibility Audit

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google for a recommendation in your category, one of two things happens. You are in the answer, or a competitor is. Most owners have never seen which, and the tools they would check with cannot see the whole picture. This audit measures it from the outside, the way the machines actually see you, and hands you the evidence with a ranked fix list.

What we measure

How AI assistants answer about you. We put the questions your buyers actually ask to the major assistants and record whether you are named, cited as a source, or named first, and which competitors take your place. This becomes your baseline: the number the rest of the work exists to move.

Whether the machines can read you at all. Crawl access for AI systems and search engines, including the failure almost nobody catches: settings at your CDN or host that silently block AI crawlers while your own files say welcome. We found exactly that on a client property whose owner had no idea. Your dashboard cannot show it. An outside-in audit can.

What the machines believe about you. Structured data, machine-readable business facts, and your presence in the knowledge graphs AI systems consult when deciding whether you are a real, citable business. If those say nothing, the assistants improvise, and they improvise about your competitors too.

The fundamentals. Sitemaps, canonical signals, metadata, link previews, and the crawl hygiene that both Google and the AI layer still reward. Ten checks, each verified from outside, none taken on faith.

What you receive

A written report on our letterhead: every check with its measured result, what each finding costs you in plain language, and the fix, stated clearly enough that any competent developer can execute it. Plus the assistant-answer baseline table, so that when the fixes land, the change is measurable rather than claimed.

Price and timeline

A fixed $2,500, delivered within five business days of kickoff. No retainer, no subscription, no obligation past the report. If you want the fixes implemented or your visibility monitored over time, we quote that separately, and the audit stands on its own either way.

We run this audit on our own properties first. The methodology, and the findings it catches, are the same ones documented on our product company's public benchmarks.
