AI search visibility / GEO audit

Your brand is already being judged in AI answers.

Our GEO audit shows what answer engines can access, understand, trust and cite about your business, then turns the gaps into a prioritised action plan.

No guaranteed rankings. No magic prompt. A practical visibility audit built around evidence.

Short answer

GEO is not a replacement for SEO.

Generative engine optimisation is the work of making your business visible, understandable and credible inside AI-generated answers. Search rankings are one input. Access, clarity, evidence and corroboration matter too.

The problem

A ranking report cannot tell you what the answer says.

Buyers increasingly ask search engines and AI tools who to choose, what a business is good at, and whether it is credible.

The failed alternative is publishing more content and hoping the answer improves. Visibility depends on several conditions working together.

The method

We audit the conditions behind AI visibility.

The audit is designed to show where your visibility is breaking, not bury you in another undifferentiated list of recommendations.

01 / Access

Can systems reach you?

Crawler access, important pages, files and technical barriers.

02 / Clarity

Can systems understand you?

Entity definition, answer-first structure and buyer-question coverage.

03 / Evidence

Do you show your work?

First-party proof, examples, observations and useful specifics.

04 / Credibility

Are important claims supported?

Reputable sources, clear references and structured information.

05 / Corroboration

Do others confirm you?

Relevant third-party mentions across the places buyers and systems look.

06 / Comparison

Do you answer choice questions?

Comparison, alternatives and “best for” questions in your category.

The deliverable

A clear visibility picture, followed by what to fix first.

Visibility assessment

How your business is currently represented across the audited search and answer surfaces.

Evidence and gap map

Where access, content, proof, citations or corroboration are weakening the story.

Questions buyers ask

The awkward bits, answered plainly.

Is this just another SEO report?

No. Technical SEO is one input. The audit also examines answer clarity, evidence, source credibility, third-party mentions and comparison questions.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google will recommend us?

No. Nobody can responsibly guarantee that. We identify the conditions that make accurate, credible answers more likely and show what to fix first.

What do we receive?

A concise visibility assessment, an evidence and content gap map, and a prioritised action plan. Scope and turnaround are confirmed before work starts.

Is this only for large companies?

No. It is useful for any business whose buyers ask search engines or AI tools for recommendations. Scope is matched to the site and market.
