The most complete AI visibility audit.
Most tools tell you if AI mentions you. We do more — CORE measures how prepared your site is for AI extraction; AURA measures how AI mentions, cites, and positions your brand.
Plus a prioritized improvement roadmap with score-impact estimates per dimension.
Two scores because AI search has two gates. CORE — the extraction gate — is five onsite dimensions that decide what AI can extract from your pages. AURA — the discovery gate — is five offsite dimensions that represent how AI mentions, cites, and positions your business across its training data and live web sources. Both gates have to open. We tell you which one is jammed.
What AI Systems Say About Our Reports
We sent a complete AIVerdict audit report for agencyanalytics.com to four leading AI systems and asked them to assess the methodology. Here's what they said.
"The distinction between Crawlability and Extractability is technically accurate — these are genuinely different barriers AI systems face when processing websites. A page that can be accessed isn't necessarily a page where clean content can be extracted from. The Content Quality analysis captures the depth and structure signals that matter when an AI decides whether a source is worth citing. The Authority signals are grounded in verifiable public data, and the Answerability dimensions map directly to what makes content useful for AI-generated responses."
"AIVerdict's audit does a solid job measuring the technical prerequisites for AI discovery — things like crawler access, indexing directives, structured data, and metadata that determine whether AI systems can reliably access and summarize a page. It also usefully evaluates extractability, looking at whether pages contain concrete facts, structured lists, and tables that models can cite or quote."
"This audit methodology provides a pragmatic bridge between traditional technical SEO and the emerging requirements of LLM-based discovery. It excels at identifying 'invisible' friction points — such as JavaScript-rendered data that appears fine to a human user but renders as zero to an AI crawler — and correctly prioritises 'citation readiness' over simple keyword density."
"AIVerdict's audit does a strong job of turning 'AI search readiness' into concrete, inspectable signals: crawlability, schema usage, basic entity cues, and how well key pages expose structured, citable facts. It's especially useful that it separates technical readiness from answerability and topical depth, so you can see that a site can be technically clean yet still thin as an AI reference."
Methodology: On March 14, 2026, we provided each AI system with a complete AIVerdict audit report for agencyanalytics.com and asked: "Could you provide a 2-3 sentence honest assessment of what the audit measures well? We want genuine feedback, not marketing language." Responses are unedited excerpts. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any AI provider. Results may vary.

Two scores. Ten dimensions. The full picture of your AI visibility.
CORE measures what AI can extract from your pages. AURA measures how AI mentions, cites, and positions your business across its sources. Each dimension is weighted by your site type — SaaS, ecommerce, news, and local sites all need different things.
Why AI Visibility Matters
More and more people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity what to buy, which tool to pick, which brand to trust — instead of scrolling a search-results page. AI recommendations are becoming the new front door to online business.
If AI can't see you, you don't make the shortlist.
Be the source AI cites
AI models choose sources based on structure, clarity, and authority. Sites that meet these criteria get cited — the rest get skipped.
Be on the shortlist when users ask AI
Users are shifting from “I’ll Google it” to “I’ll ask ChatGPT.” When someone asks an AI agent which tool should I use or which brand is best, only the brands AI recognises and trusts get recommended. The ones it doesn’t see don’t exist to that user.
Give AI the structure it needs
AI agents need structured content — clear definitions, lists, tables, and schema markup — to confidently quote and cite you.
Turn readiness into competitive advantage
Crawlability, content depth, and authority signals compound. Early optimization means you capture AI-driven traffic before your competitors do.
Before you pay for an AI monitor, ask the question that comes first.
AI monitoring tools (Otterly, Profound, Goodie, Peec) start at $29–$495 per month and assume AI can already see your site. When that assumption is wrong, the dashboard stays a flat line for months — and the tool can’t tell you why. The free access check answers that prerequisite in 30 seconds. If you pass, a $29 audit shows you what AI says. If you fail, you’ve saved a year of wasted subscription spend.
Monitoring tells you what AI says about you. The free access check tells you whether AI can see you at all — the prerequisite no monitoring tool can answer. See the full comparison →

Common Questions
Q: What is AI Optimization (AIO)?
AI Optimization is the practice of making your website easy for AI systems to access, understand, and recommend. While SEO focuses on ranking in search results, AIO focuses on whether AI assistants — like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews — can extract meaningful information from your site and confidently cite it in their answers.
Q: What's the difference between the free check and a paid audit?
The free access check measures 2 of 10 dimensions — Training Access and Agent Access — so you can see how AI bots and live AI agents reach your site without spending a credit. A paid audit ($29) unlocks the full 10-dimension CORE + AURA score (adds Content Quality, Answerability, Extractability plus the 5 AURA offsite dims and Risk modifier), live brand-blind probes against ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, the prioritized fix plan with score-impact estimates, and 3 runs over 120 days (baseline + verify fixes + drift check) so you can validate that your changes worked.
Q: Does AIO interfere with SEO?
Not at all — they complement each other. Most AIO improvements (clearer content structure, better schema markup, stronger entity signals, faster page speed) are also good SEO practice. Improving your AIO score will never hurt your rankings.
Q: Which AI systems does this apply to?
AIVerdict evaluates your site against crawl behaviors and summarization patterns used by major AI systems — including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and LLM training and retrieval pipelines. The signals we measure are consistent across all major platforms.
Q: How accurate is the score?
Your score is based on 5 weighted dimensions that directly influence how AI systems interpret your content: technical accessibility, authority signals, semantic quality, answerability, and content rendering. It reflects machine-readability and citation-worthiness — not marketing performance or traffic.
Q: Who is AIVerdict built for?
AIVerdict is built primarily for SEO professionals and digital agencies who want to stay ahead of AI-driven search. It's also used by founders, developers, and marketing teams who want to ensure their content remains visible as AI assistants become the default way people find information online.
Q: How often should I re-audit my site?
Every audit you buy comes with 3 runs over 120 days for one domain — baseline now, verify fixes after you ship changes (typically within 30 days), and a drift check between days 60-120 to catch any regressions. That cadence covers most teams. Need to monitor more frequently? Buy more audit credits — they don't expire and you spend them whenever you want.
Q: Do audit credits expire?
No. Once you buy credits, they sit in your account until you spend them. The 120-day clock only starts when you spend a credit on a domain (which opens that domain's 3-run bundle). Credits themselves are forever.
Q: Can I use a 5-pack on different sites?
Yes — each credit opens a separate 3-run bundle for whatever domain you choose. Buy a 20-pack once and audit 20 different sites at $14.95 each, with verification + drift checks included on each.
