AI visibility audit (AEO and GEO)
I start with an AI visibility audit to understand how AI search describes your business and where the evidence is missing or unclear. Ongoing support comes next only if monitoring and implementation are useful for your business.

Start with an AI visibility audit
The audit establishes a baseline before I recommend ongoing work. I review how your business appears in AI answers, check supporting website content, and document gaps and practical next steps.
I review crawler access, business facts, service explanations, original evidence, and the pages that answer buyer questions. I then define a repeatable set of prompts and record how the monitored engines respond.
The work complements SEO rather than replacing it. Clear pages, accessible content, and credible evidence matter across both search and AI answers.
Ongoing monitoring and implementation
If the audit identifies a reason to continue, I monitor relevant buyer questions, review citations and factual accuracy, and prioritize changes to your website and business information.
I can implement agreed content, structure, and measurement changes or provide recommendations for your existing contributors. I confirm the monitoring cadence, responsibilities, and reporting approach in writing.
There are no preset packages. The scope follows the questions your buyers ask, the evidence available, and the changes you can realistically maintain.
Evaluation method
I agree a set of buyer questions and a defined group of answer engines before sampling. For each run, I record the exact question, engine, date, whether the business is named, which pages or sources are cited, and whether key facts are represented accurately. I repeat selected questions to separate recurring patterns from answers that vary between runs.
When competitor comparison is useful to the decision, I review the cited competitor pages and other public evidence behind those answers. I compare the clarity of the service explanation, the fit between the claim and its cited support, and whether the source actually answers the buyer's question. Visible mention or campaign activity is not treated as proof of traffic, conversion, or internal strategy.
I then check your relevant pages for crawler access, consistent business facts, service descriptions, useful supporting evidence, and content gaps. The findings distinguish direct observations from interpretation, note missing or time-sensitive evidence, and prioritize changes that can be tested in a later run. This keeps the work an AI visibility audit rather than a broad local or competitor report.
How I measure AI visibility
I record engine, prompt, date, citation, and how accurately an answer represents the business. I keep prompt sets consistent enough to compare changes and note the limits of any sample.
I compare visibility observations with relevant website inquiries and business outcomes where data is available. An observed mention is not proof that the work caused a lead or sale.
How the work starts
You send a short message about your business, audience, and the questions buyers ask. I confirm the scope, baseline review, tracking approach, and implementation responsibilities by email.
Pricing is shared after a short scoping message, based on scope. I do not guarantee inclusion in AI answers, a particular ranking, or a fixed volume of inquiries.
Audit and ongoing support
| Stage | What I do | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| AI Visibility Audit | Review AI answers, sources, website access, and business facts | A baseline, documented gaps, and prioritized recommendations |
| Ongoing support | Monitor relevant questions and implement agreed improvements | Written findings, completed changes, and next priorities |

Frequently asked questions
What's included in ongoing AI visibility support?
I start with an AI Visibility Audit. If ongoing support is useful, I agree relevant buyer questions, a monitoring cadence, and implementation responsibilities. Support can include citation and factual accuracy checks, content improvements, technical fixes, and a written review of findings and next steps.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO addresses visibility in search results. GEO addresses how generative answers represent and cite your business. The work overlaps in accessible content, clear structure, and credible evidence.
Do I need ongoing support after an audit?
Not necessarily. The audit may give you enough direction to make the changes yourself. I recommend ongoing work only when continued monitoring or implementation has a clear purpose.
Can you implement the recommendations?
Yes, where the work fits the agreed scope and platform access. I can make the changes or document them for your existing contributors, with responsibilities confirmed before work begins.
Can you guarantee a ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews mention?
No. The engines control their answers and can change them. I improve the underlying evidence and track observations without promising inclusion.
