Common questions

What people ask before they run it.

Q.01What is an AI visibility audit?

An AI visibility audit measures how visible your business is when people ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI who to call. Ours runs scored checks across six categories (schema, content, technical, AEO, GEO and visibility), checks your site's access rules for 12 named AI crawlers, and probes live AI engines to see whether you are being cited.

Q.02How is the audit graded?

The grade is citation-weighted. Being cited by AI engines counts for more than any single on-page fix, and most businesses start with zero citations, so a low first grade is normal rather than alarming. The report shows which checks passed, which failed, and what to fix first.

Q.03What is the difference between an AI visibility audit and an SEO audit?

A traditional SEO audit measures how well your site can rank in Google's results. An AI visibility audit measures how likely AI assistants are to cite or recommend you when they answer a question. The two overlap on technical foundations, but the AI audit also checks schema coverage, answer-ready content structure, AI crawler access and live citations.

Q.04How much does an AI visibility audit cost?

Both versions are free. The instant audit scores your site in about sixty seconds. The deep audit is hand-run by a senior strategist within 24 to 48 business hours and includes competitor analysis, a written strategy document and a short strategy call. No card required for either.

Q.05How often should I re-run the audit?

The instant audit can be re-run on the same site every 30 days, and that limit is deliberate: meaningful AI visibility changes take weeks, not days. Re-running after each round of fixes shows whether your score and your citations are actually moving.
