What an engine sees on
Read live from your own site just now, at no cost and with nothing spent on engine queries. This is access and machine-readability, not citations. Confirm your email for the full check. When live engine results are available, it runs four buyer questions; otherwise it gives you the full structural audit.

The four buyer questions the full audit puts to the engines
Read from your own site, at no cost and with nothing charged. This is the access and machine-readability half of the audit. The other half, those four questions put live to Perplexity and Google's AI Overview with every domain each engine cited, is the full audit; a copy of this one is in your inbox, and replying to it asks for the rest.
Extend the free check into an AI visibility audit
The free website read checks technical access and machine-readability. After email confirmation, the full check provides a structural audit, or four buyer questions on Perplexity and Google's AI Overview when engine results are available. The broader AI visibility audit runs twelve buyer questions across those two engines plus ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. It ranks every vendor the engines cited, checks structural causes on your site (crawler blocks, a missing llms.txt, absent schema, thin initial HTML), and lays out a 30-day repair plan. It arrives as a one-page scorecard. Ask for it by reply and we run it before the first call. Running the measurement and repairs every month is what a GEO agency retainer covers. Shipping the repair plan into your own repository or CMS afterwards is the GEO implementation retainer.
A citation is not a mention, and one run is not a trend
- A citation is a source the engine attached to its answer. Being named in the text without a source is a mention, and it is weaker, because the reader cannot click through.
- Review sites and publishers are cited constantly. When they are the only sources on a question, the engine is reading a listicle, and the vendor that wrote the best comparison page is the one that gets named.
- Not cited on four questions is a data point. Not cited on four questions a month later, after repairs shipped, is a finding. Repeating the same questions on a schedule is the generative engine optimization method, and the free AI search question builder writes that fixed set for your service and city. Why ChatGPT recommends your competitors explains what usually sits behind the first reading.
- Access comes first. If robots.txt blocks PerplexityBot or Google cannot read the initial HTML, no amount of content changes the result.
The lanes behind each of those are in The checklist, and the reasoning is in The book.
