+1 570 955 3538AI Search Visibility Audit for Local Businesses
People now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews who to call for a roof repair or a dentist. Whether your business shows up in those answers depends partly on what these systems can read on your site.
The audit checks that. We scan your site the way an AI crawler would, list what is missing or confusing, and rank the fixes by priority. You get a written report and a roadmap. You can hand it to your web person or ask us to do the work.
Starting at $1,490, one time.
What the audit checks
| Check | Why it matters | What we look for |
|---|---|---|
| H1 and page structure | Tells a machine what the page is about | One clear H1 per page, headings in logical order |
| Canonical tags | Names the official version of a page | Missing, duplicated, or pointing to the wrong URL |
| Schema.org markup (JSON-LD) | Gives business facts in a machine-readable form | LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ markup that matches visible text |
| robots.txt and AI crawler rules | Controls what crawlers may read | Accidental blocks, rules for AI crawlers such as GPTBot and PerplexityBot |
| Sitemap | Lists the pages you want found | Missing pages, redirected or broken URLs |
| Readable text | AI systems quote text, not layout | Key facts buried in images, tabs, or scripts |
| Internal links | Show which pages matter | Service pages with no links pointing to them |
| llms.txt | A proposed community file that lists key pages | Present or absent. Treat it as a low-cost extra, not a ranking factor |
| Image alt text, mobile rendering | Basic accessibility and clarity | Missing alt text, pages that break on a phone |
We check every page we can crawl, not a sample of the home page.
What you get
- A written report with each finding, the page it affects, and how to fix it
- Fixes ranked by priority, so the most useful work comes first
- A step-by-step roadmap you can give to your developer
- One follow-up call to go through the report and answer questions
How the audit works
- Scan. We crawl your site with our scanning tool and record what each page exposes.
- Check. We review the results against the list above and against Google's and schema.org's documentation.
- Report. You receive the findings and the roadmap. We agree on a delivery date at kickoff.
- Walkthrough. We talk through the priorities. If you want us to do the fixes, the next step is our GEO program.
What an audit can't do
It can't promise that ChatGPT or Google will name your business. AI systems change often, and your competitors and your content matter as much as your markup. The audit shows what is fixable on your side.
FAQ
What's the difference between AI search visibility and Google SEO?
SEO aims at rankings in Google's results. AI visibility is about being understood and cited in AI-written answers. Some work overlaps, such as clean schema and readable text. You need both.
Why get an audit if I can just ask ChatGPT about my business?
A single answer depends on the question you typed and on what the model happens to know. An audit shows what your site exposes to crawlers, which you can fix.
Can you audit more than one location?
Yes. We review each location's pages and show which ones have the weakest setup. Sites with many pages or several locations are quoted separately. Ask for a quote.
How long do fixes take?
It depends on your platform and who makes the changes. Adding schema or fixing canonicals is routine work for most developers. We include time estimates per item in the roadmap.
What do you deliver?
A written report, a ranked fix list, a roadmap, and one follow-up call.
