AEO Audit: Find Out Why AI Isn't Citing You
You rank. You have good content. But when people ask ChatGPT about your category, someone else gets recommended.
Our AEO Audit shows you exactly why — and what to fix.
In 12 dimensions, we analyze your citation readiness: technical setup, content structure, competitive positioning, and authority signals. You'll leave knowing who AI recommends instead of you, what they have that you don't, and the priority fixes to get cited.

Contact UsAEO Audit FAQ
SEO audits focus on rankings, backlinks, keyword optimization, and technical crawlability. AEO audits focus on AI citations, schema analysis, answer optimization, and AI extractability. Both are valuable — an AEO audit specifically analyzes why AI isn't citing you.
The audit is diagnostic — we identify and prioritize fixes. Implementation is available as a separate engagement (60-day pilot or 6-month program). Many clients start with an audit, then move to implementation.
Great! The audit will show you which queries you're winning, which you're losing (and to whom), how to expand citation coverage, and how to improve citation quality (mentioned vs. recommended).
You can run basic query tests yourself. What you won't have: systematic 12-dimension framework, competitive teardown methodology, pattern recognition from dozens of audits, and implementation prioritization based on impact. Start with our free citation check — we'll tell you if a full audit is worth it.
