Honest About The Limits
We report what we can observe and test, and say plainly where the evidence stops. No guaranteed placements in AI answers.
How ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews see your brand.
A one-off audit of how AI systems read, describe, and cite your business — and what to change in your entity data, structured markup, and source coverage so the answers get it right.
A growing share of research now happens inside an answer rather than a results page. When someone asks an assistant to shortlist vendors in your category, something gets said about your business — assembled from your markup, your site, and whatever third-party sources the model happened to ingest. Nobody at your company approved that description.
We’ll be straight about the state of this: measurement is young, the systems change monthly, and no one can promise you placement in an AI answer. What an audit does is make sure the machine-readable version of your brand is accurate and consistent — work that is worth doing on its own terms, and that pays off further if these surfaces keep growing.
Outdated pricing, a discontinued product, or a competitor’s framing — models fill gaps with whatever they can find.
Consistent structured data and third-party corroboration are what let a system state facts about you with confidence.
Almost everything the audit recommends also improves classic SEO — so the downside if AI search plateaus is close to zero.
Four reasons to have us run this rather than the first agency selling “AI SEO”.
We report what we can observe and test, and say plainly where the evidence stops. No guaranteed placements in AI answers.
A fixed prompt set run across several assistants, repeated identically each time — so results are comparable, not anecdotes.
Developers implement the structured data, so recommendations become shipped markup instead of a document nobody actions.
Ten years of technical search work behind every recommendation — entity clarity is an old discipline with a new audience.
A documented read on how machines currently describe you, and what to change so they describe you correctly.
How your brand exists as an entity: name, category, products, people, and locations — and where those facts contradict each other.
Every structured data type on the site checked for validity, completeness, and the connections between entities.
A fixed prompt set run across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews, recording whether you’re mentioned and what’s said.
Every factual error we find in AI descriptions of your business, traced back to the source that likely caused it.
Which third-party sources models draw on in your category, and where you’re absent from the ones that matter.
Who does get cited for your core questions, and what their footprint has that yours doesn’t.
Prioritised markup and content changes, written so your developers can implement them without further interpretation.
The prompt set and results saved, so the same test can be re-run in three months and compared like for like.
Two weeks, five stages, and a baseline you can measure against later.
We agree the questions your buyers actually ask — the prompts the audit will be run against.
Days 1–2The prompt set run across several assistants and AI Overviews, with every response recorded.
Week 1Your markup, site facts, and third-party sources reviewed for consistency and gaps.
Week 1–2Each inaccuracy traced to a likely source, and each gap to the change that would close it.
Week 2Prioritised recommendations, a saved baseline for re-testing, and a call to go through both.
Week 2For brands willing to move before the category settles. If you need a guaranteed return this quarter, start with a classic SEO audit instead — we’ll tell you so.
Buyers increasingly ask assistants to shortlist tools. Being described accurately in that shortlist is the whole game.
High-value products researched over weeks, where an early AI summary shapes the entire shortlist.
Firms whose expertise should be citable — and whose credentials are currently scattered across inconsistent profiles.
You’ve already asked an assistant about your company and didn’t recognise the answer.
New name, new positioning, and models still confidently repeating the old one.
You need a defensible baseline and a technical roadmap to take to your engineering team.
A one-off audit, priced by how large your brand footprint is. This is an early-mover investment, not a mandatory line item — if classic SEO fundamentals are still broken, spend the money there first.
$500–750one-off
One brand, one market, a focused product or service line.
$900–1,200one-off
Several products, categories, or buyer segments to test separately.
$1,300–1,500one-off
Multiple markets or languages, or a group with several brands.
Re-testing against your saved baseline is $300 per run, whenever you want to see whether the changes moved anything. No retainer, no obligation to repeat.
Send us your brand and category. We’ll run three questions your buyers would ask and send you the raw answers — free, and often uncomfortable reading.
Two weeks to a documented baseline and a roadmap your developers can ship — most of which strengthens classic SEO regardless of where AI search goes.
Generative Engine Optimization — making your business legible and accurately described to systems that answer questions rather than list links. In practice it’s entity clarity, structured data, and source coverage.
No, and be sceptical of anyone who does. Model behaviour changes constantly and citation isn’t a rankable slot. What we can do is remove the reasons you’re currently absent or described wrongly.
Possibly, for some businesses — and we’ll say so. If your technical SEO is broken, fix that first. This is an early-mover play that happens to also improve classic search foundations.
A fixed prompt set, run identically across several assistants, with every response recorded and saved as a baseline. It won’t be perfect, but it is repeatable and comparable over time.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews as standard. Others can be added if they matter in your market.
Ship structured data changes, correct inconsistent facts across your profiles and site, and close gaps in the third-party sources models rely on. Your team can do it, or we can.
Yes, though they overlap. A classic audit asks whether pages can rank. This asks whether machines can state facts about you confidently and correctly.
Expect meaningful drift within a quarter — these systems change fast. That’s why we save the baseline, so re-testing is cheap.
No. This is a standalone audit. If you already work with us, the recommendations fold into your existing roadmap at no extra cost.
Then you have documented evidence that your entity data is clean, plus a baseline to measure against later — and we’ll tell you honestly that there was little to fix.
