Direct answer
What Is an AI Search Visibility Audit?
An AI Search Visibility Audit is a structured review of how a business appears inside AI-generated answers for relevant commercial questions.
It tests defined prompts, records whether the business and competitors are mentioned, reviews answer accuracy and citations, and identifies website, entity, content or evidence gaps that may require further work.
Fixed audit scope
What the $99 Audit Includes
10 prompts
Commercial prompt testing
Ten questions based on the services, category, audience and buying intent relevant to your business.

Delivery: three business days. The standard audit is designed for websites with up to 100 pages and does not include a review call.
