What is an AI visibility audit?
An AI visibility audit is a fixed-price diagnostic that explains why AI engines currently do or don’t recommend your brand, and what to fix. Where the free Scorecard tells you where you stand across five engines, the audit tells you why — and hands you a prioritised roadmap. It also differs from a classic SEO audit: instead of backlinks and keyword gaps, it examines entities, citation sources and LLM-readability, because those are what determine whether AI cites you.
What’s included
- Entity analysis — how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google resolve your brand as an entity
- Citation-source map — the specific directories, reviews, communities and press outlets AI pulls recommendations from in your market
- Technical GEO fixes —
llms.txt, crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended, schema (Organization, Service, FAQPage), and NAP consistency - Content and answer-structure gaps — where your existing pages fail to answer the questions AI is being asked
- A 90-day prioritised roadmap — ranked by expected impact, not a generic checklist
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
The audit is £1,800, fixed, delivered in five working days. We price it fixed because you should know the cost before you commit, and because five days of defined scope is what it actually takes to do the diagnostic properly — not because it’s a number we picked to sound reassuring.
How the audit works
- Kickoff and access — a short brief and access to your site, analytics and Search Console where available.
- Diagnostics — we run the entity, citation and technical checks across your site and five AI engines.
- Source and entity mapping — we build the citation-source map specific to your market.
- Delivery — you receive the audit document plus a 30-minute walkthrough of the findings.
- Optional implementation — move to a growth retainer if you’d rather we implement the roadmap directly.
After the audit
You own the audit and its roadmap outright, and plenty of clients hand it straight to their own team or existing agency to implement. If you’d rather we do the work, a growth retainer from £1,500/month picks up where the audit leaves off, implementing the fixes and reporting your share of voice monthly. Neither path is required — see full pricing on pricing or the wider service on ai-seo-agency.
