What Is an AI Visibility Audit?
An AI visibility audit measures whether AI answer engines consider your business trustworthy, relevant, and specific enough to recommend by name. It is not a keyword report and not a site-speed checklist. It looks at the signals generated answers actually rely on: entity consistency, review sentiment, competitive attributes, and structured data.
Traditional SEO audits tell you where you rank. An AI visibility audit tells you whether you are in the conversation at all. When someone asks Google's AI or ChatGPT for a local recommendation, there is no position number to check - the AI either names you or it does not. That binary is what this report scores.
What the Audit Checks
Module 1: Entity Trust Scan
We compare your business name, address, and phone number across your Google Business Profile, your website, and your public listings. Every mismatch is reported as an Entity Trust Gap with the exact record that needs correcting.
Module 2: Semantic Sentiment Match
We analyze the language in your recent Google reviews and compare it to the claims on your website. Where customers describe something different from what you promise, the audit flags the contradiction that is costing you AI recommendations.
Module 3: Competitive Attribute Gap
We pull the attributes your top local competitors have listed and show which ones you are missing. Most businesses already offer several of them and simply never listed them where Google's AI can read them.
Module 4: Structured Data Audit
We fetch your site the way Google does and check for LocalBusiness, Review, and FAQ schema. You get the exact markup that is missing plus suggested FAQ questions to add.
How the Audit Works
1. Enter your business
Start typing your business name and pick it from Google's own listing data. No setup, no tracking code, no access to your accounts required.
2. We run the audit
The audit pulls your live Google Business Profile data, your recent reviews, your competitors, and your website markup, then scores each of the four modules.
3. You get a fix-it plan
Your report ends with a prioritized list of fixes, ordered by impact. Each one names the problem, why it affects AI visibility, and the specific step to resolve it.
Who Should Run One
- Local business owners who depend on nearby customers finding them - attorneys, dentists, CPAs, contractors, agents, clinics, restaurants.
- Marketing agencies and consultants who want a diagnostic to bring to a sales call or a quarterly review. Volume pricing and white-label reports are available.
- Multi-location brands that need to see which locations are trusted by AI search and which ones are being skipped.
What You Get
Every audit produces a scored report you can download as a PDF and share with your team or your web developer. It includes an overall AI visibility score, a score and detailed findings for each of the four modules, competitor comparison data, and a Top 5 Priorities section that tells you what to fix first.
Findings are specific. Not "improve your online presence," but the exact phone number that does not match, the exact attribute your competitor lists that you do not, and the exact schema block your site is missing. If you would rather see it than read about it, view a full sample report.

AI Visibility Audit Questions
What is an AI visibility audit?
An AI visibility audit measures whether AI answer engines - Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini - have enough trustworthy, consistent information to recommend your business by name. It scores four signal areas: entity trust across the web, review sentiment, competitive attribute gaps, and structured data coverage, then ranks the fixes by impact.
How much does an AI visibility audit cost?
A single audit is $19.99 as a one-time payment - no subscription and no card kept on file. Quarterly and annual credit packs bring the per-report price down to $14.99 and $9.99 for repeat use. You can read a complete sample report first, free and with no signup.
What does the audit check?
Four modules: entity trust and consistency across your website, Google Business Profile, and public listings; review sentiment as AI reads it against the claims on your site; competitor attributes you are missing; and the structured data on your site that AI answers rely on. Each module is scored and rolled into a Top 5 Priorities list.
How long does an AI visibility audit take?
Most audits finish in a few minutes. The report appears on screen straight away and can be downloaded as a shareable PDF for your team or web developer.
Do I need to install anything or give you account access?
No. You enter your business name and website. We use public data - your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your competitors, and your live site markup. There is no tracking code to install and no login to share.
Is this the same as an SEO audit?
No. An SEO audit tells you where you rank in a list of links. An AI visibility audit tells you whether the AI names you in its answer at all, which depends on a different set of signals. See our AEO vs SEO comparison for the full breakdown.
