Phase 1 of 4

How we audit your AI Visibility

Before we change anything, we need to know exactly where you stand. The audit gives us a baseline, identifies the highest-leverage gaps, and benchmarks you against competitors already winning AI citations in your space.

What we check during the audit

robots.txt & crawler access

We check whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and other AI crawlers are allowed to index your site. Blocked crawlers mean zero AI visibility, regardless of content quality.

Structured data coverage

We audit every JSON-LD schema type present on your site , Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Article, Service , and flag missing or malformed markup that reduces AI trust signals.

Content freshness signals

AI models weight recently updated content. We check publication dates, last-modified timestamps, and whether your cornerstone pages have been refreshed within the past 90 days.

Entity signals & disambiguation

We assess how clearly your business is defined as an entity , your brand name, category, location, and service scope. Ambiguous entities are rarely cited; we identify exactly what needs clarifying.

Competitor citation benchmarking

We query your target AI platforms with the questions your prospects are asking and record which competitors are cited. You get a clear view of who owns AI mind-share in your category today.

Platform coverage gaps

Different AI platforms have different data diets. We identify which platforms you appear on, which you are missing from, and what platform-specific optimisations would have the highest impact.
