AI Visibility Audit

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.

Simulated AI search answer citing three competitor agencies with the note: your business, not cited.

This is what your prospects see today. The audit shows you exactly how to change it.

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.

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 AI search for the queries your prospects actually use:

  • ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, and Gemini
  • Real buyer queries, not generic prompts
  • Example prompts included
  • The actual AI responses, verbatim

Competitive Comparison

Direct analysis of how you stack up against your top 3 to 5 competitors in AI engines:

  • How often each competitor gets cited
  • Where they show up and you don't
  • The gap between you and the leader
  • What's achievable over the next quarter

Structural Gaps Analysis

A technical review of the signals that determine whether AI engines can parse and cite your content:

  • On-page schema markup
  • Content structure and formatting
  • AEO signals AI engines look for
  • Most B2B SMBs are missing 60 to 80 percent of these

Content Opportunity Map

The specific topics where prospects are asking AI engines for recommendations and no content from you exists:

  • Questions your buyers are actually asking AI
  • Topics with zero coverage from your business
  • Ranked by citation potential
  • Ranked by creation effort

High-Impact Opportunities

The three to five specific changes that would most improve your AI visibility:

  • Prioritized by effort versus impact
  • Specific to your site, not generic advice
  • A clear starting point
  • 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:

  • Specific content topics to publish
  • Schema implementations to add
  • Structural gaps to fill first
  • Sequenced so early wins fund later ones

WHY NOW

Why this audit is worth doing now

Inbound is not a single tactic. It is a connected system that supports a buyer from their first search through to becoming a loyal advocate. Each stage moves the right person closer to a decision.

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.
