Buyers can use generated answers to compare providers before visiting their websites. Ordinary site analytics cannot show every answer a person saw. A documented question sample adds another view of how your business appears during that research.

This audit measures that directly. We take the ten questions your buyers actually ask before they buy, run them across the major AI assistants, and record what comes back: whether you appear, whether you are linked, and which competitors are named in your place.

The website review checks for obstacles and gaps supported by evidence: access rules, page identity, useful answers and consistent facts. A missing mention alone cannot tell us why a proprietary system chose a different response. The report separates observations, hypotheses and confirmed technical faults.

One thing we will not claim: nobody can guarantee placement in an AI answer, and anyone who does is selling you something. What this gives you is evidence of where you stand today, a comparison against the competitors being cited, and a prioritised plan.

Who this is for

Businesses whose buyers research and compare providers online, and owners who want a documented baseline before investing in AI visibility work. A fall in clicks can have several causes and does not by itself demonstrate an AI effect.

Scope and delivery

Every engagement is scoped around the channels, markets, goals and work required. You receive clear deliverables and commercial terms before deciding whether to proceed.

How the work is delivered

The baseline contains up to 50 checks: ten agreed buyer questions across five agreed AI search experiences. Each record includes the prompt, date, market, response and sources where available. Mentions and links are measured separately, and unavailable answers are recorded. A second complete run is another 50 responses and is scoped separately.

What to expect at handover

The written report combines the sampled answers with access, identity, content and relevant off-site evidence. It includes priorities, scoring definitions and a 30, 60 and 90 day plan. Standard delivery is five working days after intake and required access are complete. Implementation is quoted separately. The audit identifies observations and plausible obstacles; it cannot prove why a proprietary system omitted a business or guarantee future placement.

Common questions

No. AI answers vary by system, phrasing, location and time. The audit supplies a measured sample, documented website findings and a prioritised plan; it does not establish every reason for an omission or guarantee future recommendations.

A website SEO audit checks access, indexing, content and search performance. An AI visibility audit adds a documented sample of buyer questions and records brand mentions, website citations and competitors in generated responses. The website fixes often overlap; the extra testing does not reveal every cause of an AI system's answer.

Your website, your primary market, your main services, up to three competitors, and ten questions your customers ask before buying. If you are unsure about the questions, we will draft them for your approval.

You get the findings and the plan, and you are free to implement them yourself or hand them to your developer. If you would rather we did the work, that is scoped separately based on what the audit actually finds.
