AI Visibility Audit
Find Out If ChatGPT Recommends You
By Lesli Rose · April 5, 2026 · 8 min read
Most businesses don't know they're invisible to AI. They have a website. They show up on Google. They even have reviews. But when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI for a recommendation in their industry -- silence. The audit shows you where you stand, what's missing, and exactly what to fix first.
I built this audit because I kept seeing the same pattern. Business owners investing in websites, ads, and social media -- but completely absent from AI recommendations. They didn't know AI was being asked about their industry every day. They didn't know their competitors were already being recommended. And they had no way to measure what was happening in this new channel.
The AI visibility audit changes that. It gives you a clear, honest picture of your AI presence -- what's working, what's broken, and what it's costing you.

What the AI Visibility Audit Covers
The audit examines six areas that determine whether AI systems can find, understand, and recommend your business. Each area gets a detailed assessment with specific findings and prioritized recommendations.
1. Schema and Structured Data
Is your business machine-readable? I check whether your website has the structured data markup that AI systems need to understand your business type, location, services, and credentials. Most businesses either have no schema at all or have incomplete schema that's missing critical fields. This is the foundation of AI discoverability -- without it, AI has to guess about your business instead of knowing.
2. AI Crawler Access
Can GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot actually see your website? Many businesses unknowingly block AI crawlers through their robots.txt file, hosting configuration, or security settings. If AI can't crawl your site, it can't learn about you. I test whether each major AI crawler can access your content and flag any blocks that are limiting your AI findability.
3. Content Structure
Can AI extract and cite your content? I evaluate whether your website content is structured in a way AI can parse -- clear headings, direct answers to common questions, logical organization, and enough depth to be useful. Thin content, marketing fluff, and poorly structured pages give AI nothing to work with. Well-structured content gives AI something to quote, cite, and recommend.
4. Third-Party Signals
What do other sources say about your business? Since 85% of AI recommendations come from third-party sources, this is where most AI visibility is won or lost. I check your review profiles (volume, recency, sentiment), directory listings, mentions in articles and roundups, and presence on platforms AI trusts. This is the heart of your AI presence -- what the web says about you matters more than what you say about yourself.
5. Entity Clarity
Is your business identity consistent across all platforms? I check whether your name, address, phone number, description, and core details are the same everywhere -- Google, directories, social profiles, your own website. Inconsistency confuses AI and fragments your AI recognition. Consistency strengthens it. This is one of the simplest fixes with the biggest impact on AI visibility.
6. Live AI Testing
What do ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI actually say about you right now? I run real queries that your customers would ask -- the same questions that bring people to businesses like yours -- and document exactly what AI says. Are you mentioned? Are your competitors mentioned instead? Is the information accurate? This is the ultimate test of your current AI visibility -- not theory, but what's actually happening when people ask AI about your industry.
What You Get
The audit delivers a prioritized report -- not a generic checklist. Every finding is specific to your business, your industry, and your competitive landscape.
- ›What's broken -- specific issues preventing AI from finding or recommending your business, with evidence from real AI queries.
- ›What it costs you -- a clear explanation of what each gap means in terms of missed recommendations and lost customers.
- ›What to fix first -- a prioritized action list ordered by impact. The fixes that will move the needle most come first.
- ›Competitive context -- how your AI presence compares to others in your industry and market, so you know exactly where you stand.
This isn't a 50-page document full of jargon. It's a focused report written in plain language that tells you what matters, why it matters, and what to do about it. You can hand it to your web developer, your marketing team, or use it as a roadmap yourself.
Who This Is For
The audit is for any business that depends on being found online. If customers search for what you do -- whether they use Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or any AI assistant -- your AI visibility directly affects your revenue.
Local service businesses (plumbers, dentists, lawyers, contractors)
Professional services (consultants, agencies, accountants)
Healthcare practices (clinics, specialists, veterinarians)
SaaS companies and tech businesses
Restaurants and hospitality
E-commerce brands
Financial services (advisors, brokers, planners)
Any business losing leads to competitors in AI results
If you've ever wondered whether AI recommends your business -- or if it recommends your competitors instead -- the audit gives you a definitive answer.
How It Works
Three steps. No complexity. No lengthy onboarding process.
Step 1
Request your audit
Send me your website URL and tell me what industry you're in. That's all I need to get started. No forms, no questionnaires, no sales calls.
Step 2
I analyze your AI presence
I personally audit your structured data, crawler access, content structure, third-party signals, entity consistency, and live AI responses. This is not an automated scan. I test real queries, examine real results, and build a complete picture of your current AI visibility.
Step 3
You get the report
A clear, prioritized document showing exactly where you stand, what's working, what's not, and what to do about it -- ordered by impact so you know where to start.
The audit is free. There's no obligation attached to it and no sales pitch at the end. I do this because most business owners don't even know AI visibility is a factor in their lead generation -- and once they see the data, the path forward becomes obvious.
Why This Matters Now
AI-powered search is not a future trend. It's happening today. Every month, more people ask AI assistants for business recommendations instead of scrolling through Google results. The businesses that are visible to AI right now are capturing those recommendations. The businesses that aren't are losing leads they never knew existed.
The advantage of acting now is that competition is still low. Most businesses in most industries haven't optimized for AI visibility at all. The window to establish your AI presence before your competitors wake up to this is open -- but it won't stay open forever. Getting found by AI assistants is becoming as important as getting found by Google. The audit shows you exactly where to start.
