What an AI visibility audit is
Your customers now ask AI tools questions like “who’s the best dentist near me” or “which agency should I hire for SEO”. An AI visibility audit tests those questions for your market and records what comes back: is your brand mentioned, is your site linked, and who gets recommended instead.
What we check
- Buyer questions: the questions your customers really ask, run in Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
- Mentions and links: whether you’re named, linked or missing.
- Competitors: who gets recommended instead, and what their sites have that yours doesn’t.
- Crawler access: whether your robots.txt or firewall blocks AI crawlers.
- Your pages: whether you have a clear page for each service and question.
- Trust signals: reviews, mentions on other sites and consistent business details.

What Google says about AI search
Google’s own guide to AI features and your website says there are “no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode, nor other special optimizations necessary.” The same SEO basics apply: a page Google can crawl and index, content that helps people, and a site that follows Search policies.
It also explains that AI Overviews and AI Mode may use “query fan-out”, running several related searches across subtopics to build one answer. So a brand that covers a topic in depth, with a page for each real question, has more chances to be picked.
Let the AI crawlers in
ChatGPT and Perplexity use their own crawlers. OpenAI says sites that block OAI-SearchBot won’t be shown in ChatGPT search answers, and Perplexity says PerplexityBot is what surfaces and links sites in its results. Check your robots.txt and firewall aren’t blocking them by accident. It’s one of the first things we check.

Why do it now
AI answers often name just a few brands. If you’re not one of them, the customer may never see your site. The sooner you know where you stand, the sooner you can fix the gaps your competitors are leaving open.
