Find out whether AI is recommending you or your competitor.
An AI visibility audit measures how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews name your business when a customer asks for a recommendation. We test roughly a dozen real customer questions, score every answer, run the identical set for two competitors you name, and hand you a prioritized list of what to fix.
Five sections. One number that matters.
The audit is a document, not a dashboard login. It is written to be read once by an owner and then handed to whoever does the work — us or anyone else.
- 01
The headline number
Your citation rate as a single fraction — for example, three of twelve prompts — next to the same fraction for your closest competitor. This is the number the rest of the document explains.
- 02
Prompt-by-prompt results
Every question we tested, every engine we tested it on, whether you were named, and critically: who got named instead of you. Written in your customers' language, not generic templates.
- 03
Competitive snapshot
You against two named competitors on citation rate, review count and rating, schema markup, Google Business Profile completeness, and listing consistency. This table is the 'why them and not you'.
- 04
Foundation checklist
Line by line: Google Business Profile, name-address-phone consistency across directories, schema markup, whether your content renders server-side, review coverage against your category baseline.
- 05
Prioritized roadmap
The fixes, ordered by impact against effort rather than by category, so the first item is whatever most directly explains the gap found in section two. Yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
Who this is for
Established local and professional service businesses — two or more years in, a genuine review base, a real website even if it is dated — who suspect a competitor is being recommended by AI when they are not.
Who it isn't for
Brand-new businesses with no reviews to build on, and anyone after a guaranteed placement. If the audit shows the underlying business signals are not there yet, we will tell you that instead of selling you a retainer.
What it costs
A fixed one-time fee, quoted before we start — no retainer commitment attached to it. The ongoing tiers are quoted only after the audit, because the audit is what tells us which of them you actually need. Ask and we'll send current bands.
What it can't promise
No one can guarantee an AI assistant will recommend you — the selection logic is undisclosed and changes without notice. The audit tells you where you stand and what the fixable causes are. Anyone promising more than that is guessing.
The audit is where every engagement starts. See the tiers that follow it ↗ or read the common questions ↗

Tell us your business and the one or two competitors you lose to most. We'll run the prompt set against all four answer engines and send you the scorecard — including the competitor comparison.
