What's in the audit

Your site is scored across 7 categories. Each one targets a specific factor that AI engines use to decide which sites to cite.

AI Query Simulations

We generate 10 queries your real customers would ask ChatGPT or Perplexity, then run each one through an AI search engine. You see whether your site gets cited, your position, and every competitor that appears instead.

Competitor Gap Analysis

We crawl your top competitors and compare you head-to-head across four dimensions: schema gaps, content gaps, authority gaps, and FAQ gaps. You see exactly what they have that you don't.

Schema Markup

We audit your JSON-LD structured data — LocalBusiness, FAQPage, HowTo, Organization, Breadcrumb, and more. Missing or broken schemas are the #1 reason AI engines skip your site.

E-E-A-T Signals

AI engines prioritize trustworthy sources. E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. We check for author bios, credentials, reviews, about pages, and other signals that make AI assistants confident enough to cite you.

AI Crawler Access

If your robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot, those AI engines can't read your content at all. We check your crawler permissions, sitemap, and technical accessibility.

Heading Structure

AI engines parse your headings to understand page topics. We check H1 uniqueness, heading hierarchy, and whether your headings match the questions your customers actually ask.

Frequently asked questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?+

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI a question about your industry, AEO determines whether your business gets recommended in the answer. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in Google's blue links, AEO ensures AI assistants can find, understand, and cite your content.

How is AEO different from traditional SEO?+

Traditional SEO optimizes for keyword rankings in search engine results pages. AEO goes further by ensuring AI crawlers can access your content, your structured data is machine-readable, and your E-E-A-T signals are strong enough for AI engines to cite you as a trusted source.

What does the audit check?+

We crawl up to 20 pages and score you across 7 categories: schema markup, E-E-A-T trust signals, AI crawler access, heading structure, query simulations (10 real searches your customers would make), competitor positioning, and content gaps. Each category gets a 0-100 score rolled into your overall AI Visibility Score.

How long does the audit take?+

Results are delivered in approximately 15 minutes. Your site is crawled, analyzed across 7 categories, and two downloadable PDFs are generated automatically: a scored audit report and a step-by-step implementation playbook.

Is this a subscription?+

No subscription. Buy audit credits starting at $24 for 3 — credits never expire. Each credit unlocks one full audit with two downloadable PDFs: an Audit Report with your scores and competitive analysis, plus an Implementation Playbook with prioritized fixes and ready-to-paste code.

How do the query simulations work?+

We analyze your site to understand your business, then generate 10 queries your potential customers would actually search, like "best [your service] in [your city]" or "how to [problem you solve]." Each query is sent to an AI assistant that searches the web and cites its sources. For each query, you see whether your site gets referenced, your citation position, the competitors that outrank you, and what content gaps are keeping you out of the results.

What does the competitor analysis cover?+

We identify which competitors are winning the queries you should own, then break down exactly why. The report compares you head-to-head on four dimensions: schema gaps (which structured data types they have that you don't), content gaps (topics and pages they cover that you're missing), authority gaps (trust signals like author bios, credentials, and reviews), and FAQ gaps (questions they answer that you haven't addressed). Each gap comes with a specific fix.

Which AI search engines does the audit cover?+

The crawler access check parses your robots.txt and reports whether you allow or block each major AI crawler: GPTBot and ChatGPT-User (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot and Anthropic (Claude), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), Google-Extended (Google AI Overviews), and CCBot (Common Crawl). The query simulations send 10 real customer questions to an AI assistant that searches the web and cites sources, so you can see whether your site gets referenced and who outranks you.

Your competitors are already in the AI answers.

Find out if you are too — and what to fix if you're not.
