AI Visibility Audit: See What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity Say About Your Business

Find out what AI tools tell your buyers about you, and fix what they get wrong.

An AI Visibility Audit is a review of how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews describe and recommend your business, and of the website, Google Business Profile, and listing issues that shape those answers.

Why Does AI Visibility Matter for My Business?

Somewhere today, a buyer asked ChatGPT who to hire for exactly what you do. It gave them a short list. You probably don't know if you were on it.

Search used to end with a list of links. More and more, it ends with an answer. When someone asks an AI tool for a recommendation, the tool decides which businesses to mention, what to say about them, and whether to link to their site. There is no page two to scroll to.

Think of it like a reference check. Before an AI tool recommends you, it calls your references: your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your directory listings, and the structured data behind your pages. When those references are thin, outdated, or disagree with each other, the recommendation goes to someone else, or the tool describes you wrong.

The good news: every one of those references is something you can fix.

How Is an AI Visibility Audit Different From an SEO Audit?

An SEO audit tells you where your pages rank. An AI visibility audit tells you whether AI tools name you, and what they say when they do.

SEO audit AI visibility audit
Core question Where do my pages rank on Google? Do AI tools name my business, and are they accurate?
What gets tested Keywords and search result positions Real buyer questions asked in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews
What success looks like Higher rankings and more clicks Being named, linked, and described correctly in AI answers
Main signals reviewed Site health, content, backlinks Site health, schema, Google Business Profile, reviews, and listing consistency
Key output Ranking and technical fix list AI Citation Baseline Score, Green/Yellow/Red rating, and up to 10 prioritized actions

What Does an AI Visibility Audit Include?

We run the same five-phase process for every client, so your results are measurable and repeatable.

1
Phase 1

Setup and Buyer Question Design

We learn your services, locations, and top competitors. Then we write 20 to 25 questions the way your buyers actually type them: who's the best in your category, who handles a specific problem, how you compare to a competitor, and basic facts about your business.

Outcome: A fixed set of buyer questions we use now and again at your retest.
2
Phase 2

AI Citation Audit

We run those questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. We test with web search both on and off, so we see what each tool already believes about you and what it finds when it goes looking. For every answer we record whether you're named, whether you're linked, whether the facts are right, and which competitors show up in your place.

Outcome: A clear record of where AI names you, where it names a competitor, and where it gets you wrong.

Phase 3

Google Business Profile and Listings

We score your Google Business Profile on identity and categories, services, reviews and responses, posts, and name, address, and phone consistency. We also review the profile, review, and website details Google's Gemini-powered Ask Maps draws on when someone asks a question about your business. Then we compare your business information across major directories, because even small mismatches weaken the trust AI tools place in you.

Outcome: A profile score and a list of listing mismatches to correct.

Phase 4

Technical and Schema Review

We crawl your website for broken pages, redirect chains, orphaned pages, and missing or conflicting structured data. Schema is the layer that tells AI tools, in their own language, who you are and what you do. If it's missing or wrong, they have to guess.

Outcome: The site and schema fixes that make your business easier for AI tools to read.
5
Phase 5

Report and Action Plan

We pull every finding into one scored report and walk you through it, with the fixes ranked so you know exactly where to start.

Outcome: One report, one score, and a ranked plan you can act on.

What Do You Get From the Audit?

AI Citation Baseline Score

On page one of your report. The number you'll measure progress against.

Green, Yellow, or Red Rating

Green means a strong foundation. Yellow means moderate gaps with a clear 60 to 90 day plan. Red means major gaps that need attention now.

Up to 10 Prioritized Actions

Ranked by impact and effort, with a clear owner for each. Clarity beats a 50-item list you'll never finish.

PDF Report

Your full AI citation log and listings report are attached as appendices.

90-Day Retest

We run the same questions again so you can see what changed.

Who Is an AI Visibility Audit For?

We built this audit for DFW businesses whose buyers research carefully before they call.

Law firms. Prospective clients ask AI tools which firm handles their kind of matter. Your credentials only help if the tools can see them.

Healthcare practices. Patients ask AI whether a practice takes new patients or accepts their insurance. A wrong answer sends them somewhere else.

IT and managed services providers. "We do IT support" rarely gets cited. Specific services, certifications, and proof points do.

Commercial construction. Project work, safety record, and service area all shape whether AI tools name you for the jobs you want.

Professional services. Accounting, consulting, and financial firms whose expertise needs to show up in the answer, not just on the website.

Why WSI Digital

We've helped DFW businesses get found online since 2009. SEO, websites, paid search, and content came first, and they still matter. AI visibility is the next layer on that same foundation, not a replacement for it.

That's also why this audit covers your website, your Google profile, and your listings, not just AI answers. The tools draw on all of it.

Embrace Digital. Stay Human.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI visibility audit?

An AI visibility audit reviews how AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews describe and recommend your business. It also finds the website, Google Business Profile, and listing issues behind those answers. You get a baseline score and a prioritized plan to improve it.

How is this different from an SEO audit?

An SEO audit asks where your pages rank on Google. An AI visibility audit asks whether AI tools name you at all, what they say, and whether it's accurate. The two overlap, since site health and structured data matter for both, which is why our audit checks both.

What's included in the free AI Visibility Check?

We run a sample of real buyer questions across the major AI tools and walk you through what they say about you and your competitors on a short call. If the results show gaps worth fixing, we'll explain what the full audit covers. There's no obligation.

Can you guarantee AI tools will recommend my business?

No. Nobody controls what AI tools say, and their answers shift as the tools update. What we can do is fix the signals those tools rely on, then measure the change against your baseline at the 90-day retest.

How long does the full audit take?

Timing depends on how many locations and services you have. We confirm your delivery date before we start, and the report is reviewed with you when it's done.

What do I need to provide?

Viewer access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4, admin access to your Google Business Profile, and the names of a few competitors you'd like compared.
