Description
A written audit of your site, your link profile and your visibility inside AI answer engines, delivered within five business days. It tells you what is holding the site back, which publications are realistically within reach, and whether ongoing work is worth your money. One payment, no retainer, no obligation to continue.
Most audits are a tool export with a logo on it. This one is read and written by a person, and the part that matters most is the last section, which is the honest recommendation. Sometimes that recommendation is to spend nothing.
What is in the report
The site itself
- Technical issues that are costing you rankings, ordered by what actually matters
- Page titles, descriptions and headings, with the ones to rewrite named
- Page speed and image weight, with the specific files to fix
- How your existing content performs against the people you compete with
- The queries you already rank for and are not converting
Your authority and reach
- Your current link profile, and what is worth keeping
- The gap against your closest competitors, named
- Publications realistically within reach for your business, not a wish list
- What ChatGPT and Perplexity say when someone asks for a business like yours
- Which domains those engines cite instead of you
The AI visibility reading, and why it is in here
Ranking and getting found have come apart. We watched one site hold position 5.7 to 5.5 across a full year while its click-through rate fell from 1.55% to zero. The ranking never moved. The answer at the top of the page took the click.
So every audit now includes a live reading from the answer engines. We put the questions your buyers actually ask to ChatGPT and Perplexity, record whether you are named, and record which domains get named instead. That set is smaller and more repetitive than most people expect, and knowing who is in it tells you what the work has to be.
An audit that only measures rankings is measuring the thing that stopped paying.
How it runs
-
You buy the audit
One payment of $500. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
-
We ask you four questions
What you sell, who you sell it to, who you consider your competition, and what you want more of. That is the whole intake. Everything else we can find ourselves.
-
We do the work
The site crawl and the link profile are tooled. The competitive read, the publication list and the recommendation are not, which is where the five days go.
-
You get the report within five business days
Written in plain language, with the actions ordered by what will move first. Yours to keep and yours to hand to any agency you like.
-
You decide, with no pressure from us
If the honest answer is that outreach will not work for you yet, the report says so. If it will, the $500 you paid for the audit is credited against your first month of the program, so the first month costs $1,000 instead of $1,500.

Who should buy this
Anyone about to spend real money on SEO, content or link building and wanting to know first whether it will work. It is also the right purchase if you have been paying an agency for a while and cannot tell what you are getting.
It is the wrong purchase if your site launched last week with three pages on it. There is nothing to audit yet, and we would rather tell you that here than take the $500.
Questions people ask before they buy
How long does it take?
Within five business days of your answers to the intake questions. If something in your site makes it take longer, we tell you on day one rather than on day six.
Do I have to buy anything else afterwards?
No. The report is yours, it is written to be actionable by anyone, and plenty of people take it to their own team or a different agency. If you do continue with us, the $500 is credited against your first month, so you are not paying for the same work twice.
Is this just a tool export?
No. Crawl data and link data come from tools, because that is what tools are good at. The competitive read, the publication list, the answer engine results and the recommendation are done by a person, and that is the part you are paying for.
What do you need from me?
Your website address and answers to four short questions. We do not need access to your site, your hosting or your analytics, though the report gets sharper if you share Search Console.
What if the answer is that I should not hire you?
Then that is what the report says. It has happened and it will happen again. An audit that always concludes you should buy the retainer is a sales document, not an audit.
