Free AI Visibility Audit

Is your business showing up when buyers ask AI?

Your prospects are no longer just Googling. They are asking ChatGPT, reading Google’s AI Overviews, and getting vendor recommendations from Perplexity and Gemini. The businesses’ AI engines cite are the ones getting found, considered, and contacted.

The question is not whether AI is changing search. It already has. The question is whether your business is visible inside the systems your buyers actually use.

AI Visibility Audit

Name

The short answer

What is an AI visibility audit?

An AI visibility audit is a diagnostic that shows whether and how a business appears in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews, and Gemini, identifies the structural and content gaps preventing citations, and prioritizes the fixes that would most improve visibility.

We run your business through the AI search engines your prospects use, then deliver a clear, actionable report showing where you stand, how you compare to competitors, and exactly what to fix first. Delivered within 5 business days, no call required.

Six Deliverables | AI Visibility Audit Section
What's Included

Six deliverables. One clear report.

Every audit includes the same six components, prioritized so you know exactly where to start.

AI Presence Snapshot

A diagnostic showing whether and how your business currently appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, and Gemini for the queries your prospects actually use. Includes example prompts and the AI responses.

Competitive Comparison

Direct analysis of how often your business is cited compared to your top 3 to 5 competitors in AI engines, and the gap between where you stand today and what is achievable over the next quarter.

Structural Gaps Analysis

A technical review of the on-page schema, content structure, and AEO signals that determine whether AI engines can parse and cite your content. Most B2B small businesses are missing 60 to 80 percent of what AI engines need.

Content Opportunity Map

The specific topics and questions where your prospects are asking AI engines for recommendations, but no content from your business currently exists. Ranked by citation potential and creation effort.

High-Impact Opportunities

The three to five specific changes that would most improve your AI visibility, prioritized by effort versus impact. No 50-page audit dump where every issue gets equal priority.

Next-Step Roadmap

A clear 90-day plan you can execute yourself or with our help, including the specific content topics to publish, schema implementations to add, and the structural gaps worth filling first.

Why Now

Why this audit is worth doing now

AI search is not a future concern. Your prospects are already using AI engines to evaluate vendors, and the businesses that get cited today build a compounding advantage.

01
Early Movers Win

AI engines reward early movers with citation patterns that persist over time.

02
The Gap Is Wide

Most B2B competitors have not invested in AEO yet, so the gap is wide and easier to close.

03
Fixes Compound

Schema and content fixes compound: every page improved becomes more citable for related queries.

04
SEO Alone Is Not Enough

Traditional SEO still works, but it is no longer enough on its own.
