Know Where You Stand. Before You Spend.
You can’t fix what you don’t measure. An AEO audit reveals exactly where your content stands in ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI systems and pinpoints the highest-impact opportunities to get cited. It’s the foundation every AEO strategy needs.
68%
of page-one ranking sites are never cited in AI responses due to invisible gaps
3.2x
higher citation rates after addressing identified content structure issues
45%
of sites have zero AI visibility despite strong traditional SEO performance
90%
of audit findings are fixable within 6-12 weeks
What is an AEO Audit?
An AEO audit is a comprehensive assessment of your digital presence across AI-powered search engines and answer platforms. Unlike traditional SEO audits that measure rankings and clicks, an AEO audit answers one critical question:
How discoverable and quotable is your content to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and voice assistants?
An AEO audit isn’t just a checklist. It’s a diagnostic that shows:
- Where your content is being cited (and why)
- Where it's completely missing (and how to fix it)
- What competitors are doing differently
- Which pages have the fastest path to AI visibility
- How to prioritize your optimization effort for maximum ROI
- Think of it as a baseline performance report for a channel that didn't exist two years ago but now drives significant brand authority and indirect traffic. You need visibility here. The audit shows you exactly how to get it.
What Our AEO Audit Covers
Current AI Visibility Assessment
We audit your presence across every major AI platform your audience uses.
Platforms we analyze include ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews (formerly SGE), Google Gemini, Perplexity.AI, Microsoft Copilot (Bing), Claude (Anthropic), Voice assistants (Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri).
Technical SEO/AEO Audit
Technical foundation determines whether AI systems can even crawl and understand your site. We audit all the core metrics that play an important role in the ranking of the website on AI platforms.
Content Analysis & Structure Review
Content is scored across FAQs, tone, intent, structure, snippet readiness, and uniqueness based on how AI models parse and evaluate content.
Schema Markup & Structured Data Review
Structured data implementation using Schema.org is critical for AEO, with FAQ, HowTo, Article, and Organization schema being most useful for AI visibility.
Competitive Positioning Analysis
We identify top questions in your industry that trigger AI responses, check whether competitors directly answer these questions, and assess competitor visibility for key industry questions.
Platform-Specific Performance Analysis
Each AI platform (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) has unique citation patterns to audit your brand’s presence on high-citation platforms and tailor your AEO efforts to each engine’s preferences.
Authority & Citation Building Analysis
AI systems prioritize being present in credible, authoritative content that AI retrieval systems use to focus on earning citations from respected domains and overlap sources. Missing weak citations can lead to the lower AI results.
Our AEO Audit Methodology
Data Collection & AI Visibility Testing
- We begin by manually testing 30–50 high-priority queries across every major AI platform to see exactly how your brand appears today. This gives us a clear picture of whether AI engines cite you, how prominently you show up, what content they rely on, and how competitors perform for the same queries. The result is a baseline visibility snapshot that shows your true standing inside AI-generated answers.
Technical Assessment & Site Health Review
- Your website’s technical foundation directly affects whether AI can interpret and extract your content. We run full Core Web Vitals scans across your top pages, review crawlability and indexing signals, check robots directives, and evaluate mobile responsiveness. This identifies the technical barriers preventing your content from being included in AI outputs.
Content Structure Audit & Schema Evaluation
- We review your top content assets to understand how AI models read, parse, and attempt to extract answers from your pages. This includes structural analysis, answer clarity, schema accuracy, and identifying highly ranked pages that still fail to appear in AI responses. The goal is to uncover exactly where your content is losing extractability.
Competitive Benchmarking & Citation Mapping
- AI search is competitive, and your competitors influence how often you appear. We analyze 3–5 top competitors across the same question set, documenting which of their pages earn citations, how their content is structured, and what formatting patterns AI prefers. This gives you a transparent view of why competitors are winning in AI visibility where you aren’t yet.
Deep Scoring & Performance Insights
- All findings are distilled into clear scoring models across AI visibility, technical readiness, content quality, and competitive strength. You receive a platform-by-platform performance breakdown showing where you stand, why AI engines do or do not cite you, and what must change for you to appear more frequently across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot.
Strategic Recommendations & Roadmap
- We translate the insights into a focused action plan that prioritizes the fastest and most impactful improvements. You’ll see which pages should be updated immediately, where schema is missing or misconfigured, which technical fixes will unlock extractability, and what content needs rewriting to match AI extraction patterns. Everything is organized into short-term, mid-term, and long-term opportunities for predictable visibility gains.

Live Report Walkthrough & Next Steps
A fully guided report review where we walk you through every finding, highlight high-impact opportunities, and outline your recommended next steps so you know exactly how to move forward with confidence.
How Insights Drive
Strategy
An audit is only valuable if it drives action. Here’s how we connect findings to strategy:
Identify Your Biggest Leverage Point
From the audit, we determine: “What one change would have the biggest AI impact?”
Often it’s not what you’d guess. For many companies, it’s not more content, it’s restructuring existing content. For others, it’s fixing mobile performance or adding schema markup.
Prioritize for Quick Wins
We sequence recommendations to show early results:
- Fixes that take 2-4 weeks and show impact immediately
- These build momentum and justify broader investment
Connect to Business Goals
Not all AI visibility matters equally. We prioritize based on:
- Which topics drive actual business value
- Implement clear H2/H3 hierarchy
- Which platforms your audience uses
- Which competitor positions matter most
Plan the Full Program
Once quick wins prove concept, we map the full 90-180 day optimization program with:
- Phase-by-phase milestones
- Expected results at each phase
- Full investment and ROI
- Resource requirements
