You cannot fix what you cannot see. An AI Visibility Audit (our GEO audit) shows you, prompt by prompt, whether AI engines mention and cite your brand when your buyers ask questions — or whether they are naming your competitors instead. We test the engines your customers actually use, measure your standing against a fixed set of competitors across five metrics, and hand you a prioritised list of the fixes that will move you fastest. It is the clearest, lowest-commitment way to understand your position in AI answers, and the natural first step before any GEO build sprint or monthly monitoring.
What the audit is
The audit is a one-time diagnostic, not a retainer. Its job is to replace guesswork with evidence. Instead of wondering whether "people are finding us through ChatGPT," you get a documented baseline: the exact prompts we tested, the engines we tested them on, how often you were named, how often you were cited as a source, and how that compares to your competitors. We test 20–30 real buyer prompts — the questions a genuine customer would type when researching your category — across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini and Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot (Microsoft) and Claude (Anthropic). We run each prompt multiple times, because large language model answers vary by run, user and location, so a single check would be misleading. The result is a realistic, dated snapshot you can act on and re-measure later. For background on the discipline, see what GEO is and GEO vs SEO.
Exactly what you receive
This is the part most providers leave vague. Here is the concrete deliverable:
- Your baseline across five metrics. Using our AI Visibility Measurement framework, we report: Brand Mention Rate (how often engines name you), Citation Rate (how often they link you as a source), Share of Voice (your presence versus your competitors), Citation Source Distribution (which source types — your pages, reviews, directories, publications, community threads — the engines rely on), and, where analytics access allows, an initial read on Conversion Contribution.
- A prompt-by-prompt breakdown. For each tested prompt, you see which brands the engines named, whether you appeared, and which sources were cited — so the findings are transparent, not a single summary score you have to trust blindly.
- A competitor gap against 2–3 named competitors. We measure you against the competitors you nominate, so you can see precisely where they are winning answers you are absent from.
- A prioritised fix list. The specific, ranked actions that will move you fastest — tied to real pages and signals (entity inconsistencies, non-extractable content, thin citation footprint, crawl blocks, or inaccurate facts the engines are repeating about you).
You own this deliverable whether or not you continue with us. You can hand the fix list to your own team, or ask us to implement it.
The process
The process is deliberately light on your side. Step 1 — you submit a short form: your website, your main target market, and two or three competitors you want to be measured against. Step 2 — we build the prompt set: 20–30 real buyer prompts that reflect how customers actually research your category. Step 3 — we test: every prompt, across the engines, multiple runs, standardised and dated. Step 4 — we analyse: we score the five metrics, map the competitor gap, and identify the specific reasons you are being left out. Step 5 — we deliver: a clear report plus a prioritised fix list, and a short walkthrough if you want one. From there, continuing is entirely optional.
Price
| Service | Scope | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| AI Visibility Audit | 20–30 prompts · 5-metric baseline · competitor gap · prioritised fix list | $300–800 (one-time) |
| (USD — confirm before publishing. We also run a limited free audit for qualifying businesses — ask when you submit.) What moves the price within the range: the number of target prompts, the number of languages, and the number of competitors you want benchmarked. The audit price is one-time; any build or retainer work is scoped separately from the findings, so you are never committing to ongoing spend to get the diagnosis. |
What happens after you submit
After you submit the form, we confirm scope and timing (audits are typically delivered within days), build your prompt set, and run the tests. You receive the report and fix list, with an optional walkthrough. There is no obligation to continue. If the audit shows you already perform well, we will tell you so rather than manufacture a problem. If it shows clear gaps, you can take the fix list in-house or commission a GEO Build Sprint to implement it, and move onto monthly monitoring if you want us to track and keep improving your position. The point of the audit is to give you an honest, evidence-based decision — not to funnel you into a package you do not need.
Risks and limitations
We are upfront about what an audit can and cannot tell you. It is a dated snapshot: because AI answers are non-deterministic, your numbers will shift between runs and over time, which is why we test repeatedly and why re-measuring monthly is more useful than a one-off reading. The audit identifies the inputs that influence citations; it cannot guarantee that fixing them will produce a recommendation, because engine behaviour is outside any agency's control. And attribution to revenue is imperfect, since AI answers often produce no trackable click. What the audit reliably gives you is a clear, comparable picture of where you stand and what to do next.
