# AI Search Audit

> An AI search audit shows how the major assistants describe and recommend your business today, why, and what to fix first. It combines prompt testing across assistants with a technical check of crawler access and rendering, an entity consistency review, and a comparison of the sources your competitors get cited from.

Start here if you want to know where you stand before you commit to a program.

## Why it matters now
Most businesses have never checked what AI assistants say about them. The audit often finds quick wins, such as a blocked crawler, an outdated address or a missing page, that change answers within weeks.

## What is included
- Prompt testing across five assistants and Google AI features
- Crawler access and JavaScript rendering checks
- Entity and listing consistency review
- Competitor citation source comparison
- Content gap list for buyer questions
- Prioritized fixes with owners and effort

## How we do it
1. **Scope.** Agree on services, locations and competitors.
2. **Test.** Run prompts and technical checks.
3. **Diagnose.** Explain each gap in plain language.
4. **Prioritize.** Deliver a fix list ranked by impact and effort.

## Deliverables
- AI search audit report
- Prompt results workbook
- Fix list with owners
- Walkthrough call

## Who it is for
- Businesses deciding whether AI search is worth investing in
- Teams whose leads have dropped without an obvious cause

## Frequently asked questions
### What do we get at the end?

A written report, the raw prompt results, and a ranked fix list you can hand to your developer or to us.

### Is the audit useful if we do the work in-house?

Yes. The fix list is written for whoever does the work, with the reason, the fix and how to check it.
