AI Visibility Audit
Is your business showing up where your buyers are looking?
Buyers use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI to decide who makes their shortlist. Most businesses have no idea whether they appear in those results—or what it costs them when they don't.
We run a proprietary audit that examines both the technical and narrative signals shaping your AI search visibility. The result is a scored assessment, specific findings, and a prioritized roadmap that tells you exactly what to fix.
Your buyers are already looking. Make sure you're there.

Essential Email Package
Your email list is one of your most valuable business assets. Are you using it?
Your message matters, but your plate is already full. Finding the time to craft consistent, engaging emails that truly connect with your audience feels like one more thing you just can't get to.
That's where we come in. We handle the heavy lifting—crafting your email stories, ghostwriting, and doing the hard work to bring your message to life. You review, approve, and we take care of the rest, delivering emails that connect and drive results.
Do what you do best. Let us take care of the rest.

Know where you stand. Know what to fix.
You’ve probably asked ChatGPT or Claude a question and acted on what came back without clicking a link. Or noticed that Google now answers searches with an AI summary before showing you any results. Your buyers are doing exactly the same thing when they’re researching who to hire, who to trust, and who to put on their shortlist.
By the time a buyer reaches out to a business, AI has already shaped what they know and who made the list. If your business isn’t part of what comes back, you’re off the list before the conversation starts.
Most businesses don’t know this is happening. They can’t see it. And almost none know they can influence it.
You may have come across the terms GEO or AEO — Generative Engine Optimization or Answer Engine Optimization. Same idea, different names. What it actually means for your business is this: the signals that determine whether AI systems cite you aren’t the same signals traditional SEO was built to address.
Why most audits miss half the picture
AI systems use two distinct layers of signals to decide whether to cite a business. The first is technical: how your site is structured, whether schema markup is present, how clearly AI crawlers can find and categorize what you do. The second is communications and narrative: how clearly you articulate who you serve, how consistently your story appears across every touchpoint, and whether the language you use matches the language your buyers use when they search.
Most AI visibility audits address only the technical layer. That’s a partial answer. If your technical signals and your narrative aren’t working together, the technical fixes alone won’t get you cited. The AI Visibility Audit examines both layers as one integrated picture. That integration is where more than twenty years of senior marketing and communications expertise matters, and it is what no automated tool or SEO agency delivers.
What the AI Visibility Audit delivers:
A scored assessment from 0 to 100 showing exactly where your AI search visibility stands, across every dimension examined.
A gap analysis covering both technical signals and communications and narrative signals, with specific findings for each.
The risks of inaction, named concretely: which competitors are gaining ground, what you are losing at each stage of the buyer's research process, and what compounding invisibility costs over time.
A prioritized action plan telling you what to fix, in what order, what each fix requires, and what it is worth to your business when it is done.
Plain language throughout, written for business leaders, not developers—a document your team can read and act on directly.
Who it’s for:
The AI Visibility Audit is built for business owners, founders, CEOs, and senior leaders who are responsible for growth and client acquisition.
It’s a strong fit for professional services firms, B2B companies, and technical businesses—legal, financial advisory, consulting, engineering, cleantech, and SaaS—where buyers do research before making contact, because these are the businesses that lose the most when AI systems ignore or misrepresent them during the research phase.
It’s equally well suited to local and regional businesses where AI-driven discovery is reshaping how buyers find providers—mortgage brokers, wealth managers, aesthetic and medical clinics, health and wellness practices, and similar businesses where trust is built before first contact.
If you’ve invested in your website, your reputation, or your marketing, and it’s never occurred to you that none of that investment automatically translates into visibility inside the AI tools your buyers are using right now, this audit is for you.
How it works:
Before any conversation takes place, we run a preliminary review of your business's digital presence. That review surfaces the most visible gaps in your AI search visibility and makes the problem specific to your situation—not generic.
From there, we set up a short call to walk you through what the preliminary review surfaced, show you a sample report so you can see exactly what the full audit produces, and give you a clear picture of where your business stands. You decide from there whether to move forward with the full audit.
There’s no commitment required before that conversation. The preliminary review is how we make sure the first discussion is worth your time.
If you want to know where your business stands in AI search, reach out directly. We’ll take it from there.
