Order AI SEO AuditWhat is an AI SEO audit?
An AI SEO audit is a "digital passport" check for your website and brand in the AI era. If traditional SEO ensured your "book" was on the top shelf - an AI SEO audit checks whether the "librarian" (AI) has read your book, trusts your facts, and recommends it to users.
The audit reveals whether AI assistants can find, understand, and cite your content. This includes technical analysis (do AI bots have access), content evaluation (is it structured in an AI-comprehensible way), and actual visibility verification (are you being cited and how).
An AI SEO audit includes:
- 1. AI visibility analysis – how and where AI assistants cite your brand, what's the sentiment
- 2. Technical AI readiness – AI bot access, Schema.org, content rendering
- 3. Competitive AI position – how you compare to competitors on AI platforms
After the audit, you'll have a clear picture of your position in the AI search era and a prioritized action plan for becoming visible in AI responses.

Why is an AI SEO audit worth it?
Reveals your AI visibility
Discover if and how ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and other AI assistants cite your brand. You might be invisible - or worse, described inaccurately.
Shows competitive position
We compare your AI visibility with competitors. Learn who has already built "citation moats" and where your opportunities lie to surpass them.
Identifies technical barriers
We check if AI bots can access your content, whether Schema.org data is correct, and if your site structure supports AI interpretation.
Creates an action plan
You'll receive prioritized recommendations, from quick-win actions to long-term AI SEO strategy foundations.
The risk of AI invisibility
Gartner predicts a 25% drop in traditional search volume in 2026. 58% of consumers already use AI instead of search engines (Capgemini). If AI doesn't cite you - you simply don't exist for these potential customers.
Even worse - AI model "memories" are long-lasting. If AI describes your brand inaccurately or unfavorably today, this perception repeats across millions of queries for months. The longer you wait - the harder it becomes to change this situation.
An AI SEO audit is the first step to understanding where you stand and what needs to be done.

Frequently asked questions about AI SEO audit
How is an AI SEO audit different from a traditional SEO audit?
A traditional SEO audit evaluates website visibility in Google search results. An AI SEO audit additionally analyzes how AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity) see and cite your brand. We check AI bot access, semantic content structure, entity clarity, and actual citations in AI responses.
What will I receive after the AI SEO audit?
You'll receive a comprehensive report including: current AI visibility assessment (citations, sentiment), technical analysis (AI bot access, Schema.org, content structure), competitor comparison on AI platforms, and prioritized recommendations. We also provide a results presentation meeting.
How long does an AI SEO audit take?
An AI SEO audit typically takes 2-3 weeks. The timeline depends on website size, competitive landscape complexity, and the required scope of AI visibility analysis.
Can you implement the audit recommendations?
Yes. After the audit, we can continue working together to implement recommendations, both technical changes and content optimization for AI citation. We recommend ongoing AI SEO work because this is a continuous process, not a one-time action.
Is an AI SEO audit worth it if we already have good traditional SEO?
Absolutely. Research shows that only 50% of AI citations overlap with Google TOP 10 results. You can be #1 on Google but completely invisible in AI responses. An AI SEO audit will reveal whether your traditional SEO investments are working in the AI space too.
