AI visibility audit: find out whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI recommend you, and what would change it

The AI visibility audit is a fixed-price, five-business-day report that answers one question: when a customer asks an AI engine for a business like yours in your city, are you named, and if not, why not. We run thirty prompts, recommendation, question and brand prompts, in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, and log who is named and cited. We check your site against the seven requirements that decide citations, from answer-first copy to crawler access. We rate your category green, yellow or red on our competition check. You get a written fix list in order of impact and a plain recommendation, including 'do nothing more' where that is the honest answer. $500, credited in full toward any build or growth plan.

What is in the report

Six sections, about ten pages, no traffic charts.

The prompt panel: 30 prompts × 4 engines, with named yes/no, position, cited source, description accuracy and competitors named. Your named share and citation share as two numbers.
The site check: answer-first copy in the first 100 words, definitive language, original numbers, question headings and FAQ, entity markup with sameAs, crawler access and llms.txt, speed and server rendering. Pass or fail on each, with the evidence.
The entity check: whether your site, Business Profile, Yelp, LinkedIn and trade directories agree on name, phone, hours, categories and description, and what disagrees.
The competition check: the top ten for '[service] [city]', rated green, yellow or red, with the reason.
The third-party check: reviews with detail, directory profiles, LinkedIn activity, thread mentions, local press.
The fix list: everything above that failed, in order of impact, with what each fix takes and costs, and a recommended plan or a recommendation not to buy one.

What it costs and what it is worth

$500, fixed, delivered in five business days after a 20-minute call. The full amount is credited toward any website build, retrofit or growth plan you start within 90 days. If the audit says your category is red or your site is already doing the work, you keep the report and the recommendation and owe nothing more. The value is the baseline: every monthly report afterward is measured against it.

Who should get one

Any San Diego County or Los Angeles business that depends on being found: contractors, practices, firms, restaurants, studios, shops. Especially a business that has spent on SEO and cannot say what it got, a business whose site was built before 2024, and a business that has never typed its own category into ChatGPT. Our 76-site San Diego audit scored the median local business homepage 4.5 out of 8 on AI readiness; the audit tells you your number and the three things that move it most.

How it works

A 20-minute call to learn your services, cities and the customers you want. We build the prompt panel from that, run it, check the site and the profiles, and rate the competition. Five business days later you get the report by email and a 30-minute call to walk through it, in English, Spanish or Russian. Then you decide.

Local SEO Websites

A local SEO website is a site structured to rank for the searches your customers actually type: one page for each service you offer and one for each city you serve, with FAQ and local-business schema, cost guides and a linked Google Business Profile. For San Diego service businesses it costs $8,000 to $25,000 and up depending on how many pages are needed, and takes 4 to 8 weeks.

FAQ

Common questions

How much is the AI visibility audit?

$500, fixed, credited in full toward any build, retrofit or growth plan started within 90 days.

How long does the audit take?

Five business days from the 20-minute kickoff call to the report and the walkthrough call.

What engines do you check?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, plus whether an AI Overview appears on your Google searches and who it cites.

Will the audit tell me not to buy anything?

If that is the honest answer, yes. A red category or a site already doing the work gets that recommendation in writing, and you owe nothing more.

Can I do the audit myself?

A ten-minute version, yes: ask ChatGPT and Gemini for your category in your city and look at the AI Overview for your main search. The paid audit runs thirty prompts across four engines, checks the site and the entity, rates the competition and orders the fixes.
