An AI Visibility Audit is a measured, written assessment of how your business currently appears across Google organic results, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Bing and Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, and why. It is for business owners who suspect they are missing from AI recommendations, are being described incorrectly, or are losing citations to competitors, and who want findings before spending on optimization. Fix Website Issues runs the audit the way it runs website repair diagnostics: technical access first, then entity, content, competitors, and conversion readiness. It is the starting point for every AI search optimization engagement.
Written Findings Document | 12 Audit Categories | Prioritized Roadmap | No Obligation to Continue
Google organic and AI features, Bing/Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity.
Every finding is tied to a fetch log, a screenshot, a data export, or a recorded prompt.
Medical, legal, local services, ecommerce, multi-location, and professional firms nationwide.
Fix it yourself, use the roadmap with anyone, or have us implement. No pressure either way.
An AI Visibility Audit is a structured evaluation of whether, where, and how accurately a business appears in AI-assisted search experiences, combined with a diagnosis of the technical, entity, content, and authority factors behind the result, and a prioritized plan to improve it. Unlike a traditional SEO audit, which measures rankings and crawl health, it also records what generative platforms say about the business, which competitors they cite, and which outside sources those citations rely on.
The audit exists because AI visibility is easy to guess about and hard to know. A business owner can ask ChatGPT one question and draw the wrong conclusion. The audit replaces that with a fixed prompt set run consistently across platforms, crawler access tests with logged results, index coverage data from Google and Bing, and an entity consistency check across the web. The result is a baseline that later work can be measured against, and, often, a short list of technical problems that explain most of the gap.
Businesses that rank on Google but are absent from AI answers. Businesses that AI tools describe incorrectly. Businesses whose competitors are consistently recommended. Businesses that have just migrated, redesigned, or recovered from a hack and want to know what visibility survived. And any business that wants a defensible baseline before spending on ChatGPT SEO, GEO, or any other AI-focused work.
If the site is currently hacked, down, or throwing errors, that is repaired first by our website repair and SEO specialists; an audit of a broken site mostly documents the breakage. If you already have a recent baseline and a clear technical bill of health, you may go straight to the relevant optimization service.
Each category is scored, evidenced, and explained. Not every platform exposes performance data; where it does not, findings come from repeatable manual tests and are labeled as observations.
A short call or form: your services, markets, top competitors, and the questions customers ask before choosing you. You grant read access to Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and analytics where available.
We fetch key pages as Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, and PerplexityBot, review robots.txt and firewall rules, confirm rendering, and review index coverage on both engines. This is the same diagnostic we run in SEO repair work.
A prompt set built from your intake, typically 15 to 30 questions, is run on each platform. Responses are recorded verbatim with date, platform, and any cited sources.
Listings and profiles are compared line by line. Pages are scored for readability by a crawler and usefulness to a buyer. Cited competitors are traced back to the sources supporting them.
You receive a written document: the scorecard, the evidence, and a roadmap ranked by impact and effort, technical blockers first. We walk through it with you on a call. What you do with it is up to you.
Technical blockers explain more than people expect. Across the audits we have run, the single most common finding is a crawler block or rendering problem, not a content weakness. So access is tested first and reported with logs.
Consistency matters more than any single test. One ChatGPT answer proves nothing. The same prompt set, run the same way each month, is what turns anecdotes into a trend.
The roadmap is ordered by dependency. A content rewrite is pointless on a page Bing has not indexed. Findings are sequenced so each fix makes the next one measurable.
We report what we cannot measure. Where a platform provides no data, the audit says so instead of inventing a score.
The AI audit includes the technical core of an SEO audit and adds what a rankings-only review cannot see.
| Area | Traditional SEO audit | AI Visibility Audit |
|---|---|---|
| Primary question | Why don't we rank? | Why aren't we found, understood, or cited by AI platforms, and do we still rank? |
| Crawlers tested | Googlebot, sometimes Bingbot | Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot |
| Data sources | Search Console, crawl tools, rank trackers | All of those plus Bing AI performance data, recorded prompt tests, and AI referral analytics |
| Competitor view | Who outranks you | Who is cited, and which outside sources earned it |
| Entity check | Usually local NAP only | Full brand, people, service, and schema consistency across the web |
| Limitations | Blind to AI answers entirely | Some platforms provide no first-party data; those findings are observed, not reported by the platform |
Request the audit. You get the scorecard, the evidence, and the roadmap whether or not you ever hire us to implement it.
Fix Website Issues is the website repair and technical SEO division of WevTEC, based in Houston and working nationwide since 2013. The audit is built from the diagnostics we use when a site has lost visibility after a hack, migration, redesign, or plugin conflict, extended to AI platforms. That background means technical causes are found rather than assumed, and if you choose to have us implement the roadmap, the same team does the work on WordPress, WooCommerce, and custom sites.
Example of how a typical audit unfolds (illustrative, not a case study). A multi-location physical therapy group asks why ChatGPT recommends two competitors and lists one of its clinics at a closed address. The audit finds a security plugin blocking OAI-SearchBot, no Bing verification, location pages that are near-duplicates with the address only in an image, and three different business names across directories. The roadmap: unblock and verify (week 1), rebuild location pages with readable address, provider, and service text (weeks 2 to 4), align listings and add LocalBusiness schema (weeks 2 to 4), then re-run the prompt set monthly. Outcomes vary by market and are not guaranteed.
Audits are performed and reviewed by the Fix Website Issues technical SEO team under WevTEC. This page was last updated September 2026. More about the team.
Audits are delivered remotely from our Houston office to businesses across Texas, Florida, California, and the rest of the U.S. Houston is our only physical location.

A structured evaluation of whether, where, and how accurately a business appears in AI-assisted search experiences, plus a diagnosis of the technical, entity, content, and authority factors behind the result and a prioritized plan to improve it.
Twelve categories: Google organic, Google AI features, Bing and Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, brand and entity consistency, competitor visibility, content coverage, technical SEO, citation opportunities, and conversion readiness. Each is scored with evidence.
Read-only access to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and analytics where available, plus a short intake on services, markets, and competitors. Nothing on the site is changed during the audit.
A written findings document with a 12-category scorecard, the recorded prompt log, crawler fetch results, a competitor citation map, and a roadmap ranked by impact and effort. We review it with you on a call.
Google and Bing provide first-party reporting. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity do not offer a performance dashboard, so those findings come from a fixed prompt set run consistently and recorded verbatim. The audit labels them as observations, not platform-reported metrics.
It includes the technical core of an SEO audit and adds AI crawler access tests, recorded AI prompt results, Bing’s AI citation data, full entity consistency, and a competitor citation map. A rankings-only audit cannot see any of that.
No. The roadmap is yours. Some clients implement it in-house, some use another vendor, and some have our team do the work through AI Search Optimization or one of the specialized services.
Most audits are delivered within one to two weeks of receiving access, depending on site size and the number of markets and competitors. Larger multi-location sites take longer. We confirm timing at intake.
Yes. Pricing depends on the number of locations, services, and competitors in scope. Call 832-266-7209 or request the audit and we will quote it after a short intake. There is no deposit for the initial conversation.
