All three claims false — engines repeat stale sources until corrected.

Illustrative example — audit findings carry raw-response evidence.

Real engine output from a real product category, June 2026. One real brand in this category: zero mentions across all ten prompts.

Prioritized 60–90 day fix roadmap

Ranked by impact — built to hand to your team or agency

Includes the raw data export of every engine output so your team can verify the findings. Not included: a retainer requirement, a sales pitch, or a dashboard to learn — the report is a diagnosis, and it's yours.

What does the report look like?

These are real pages from the sample audit — generated from live engine runs on a real product category, by the same pipeline that builds yours.

Yours covers your category, your competitors, your fixes — 50–150 prompts across 4 engines, every claim verified, with 90 days of dashboard access.

How do we measure it?

Audit specifications

  • Engines tested ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity — current production models, named with versions and run dates in your report.
  • Prompt volume 50–150 distinct buying-intent queries, branded and non-branded, mapped to your funnel.
  • Variance control Each prompt runs 3 times to average non-deterministic output — variance reported, not hidden.
  • Environment Clean sessions, no prior context, generic IP addresses.
  • Scoring Every answer coded mentioned, cited, recommended, or invisible against a fixed rubric.
  • Evidence Every finding links to the raw engine response, dated.

How to judge any AI-visibility audit

  • check_circle

    Enough prompts to matter — 50+, not 5.

  • check_circle

    More than one engine — ChatGPT alone ignores where half your buyers ask.

  • check_circle

    Repeat runs — LLMs are stochastic; a single run is an anecdote, not data.

  • check_circle

    A competitor benchmark — your score means nothing without share-of-voice context.

  • check_circle

    Technical root causes — knowing you're invisible isn't enough; you need to know why.

David King, founder of CitedMetrics

I built CitedMetrics to create the AI-visibility measurement I wished existed for my own 11 content sites. Before that I managed aerospace manufacturing at Rolls-Royce — overseeing the build and assembly of complete jet engine sections for Airbus and Boeing aircraft — where no decision was made without extensive data analysis. I apply the same standard here: every finding in your audit is backed by real prompts, real engine responses, and scored evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from SEO — or an SEO audit? expand_more

AI engines synthesize answers from sources they trust instead of ranking ten links. We measure whether you're inside those answers and diagnose why not — content structure, entities, schema, AI-crawler access. It overlaps SEO; it isn't SEO.

Which AI engines and models do you test? expand_more

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — current production models, named with versions and run dates in your report.

AI answers change constantly — how is this reliable? expand_more

That's exactly why every prompt runs 3 times and variance is reported. A single run is an anecdote. An averaged, dated baseline is a measurement.

What if my brand is already mentioned sometimes? expand_more

Then the audit shows where you win, where you lose, to whom, and why. Most brands are partially visible — and unaware of which buying prompts they lose.

What exactly arrives in 5 business days? expand_more

A 20+ page PDF: visibility baseline, competitor share-of-voice, sentiment and hallucination findings with evidence, technical root-cause analysis, and a prioritized 60–90-day roadmap — plus the raw scored data.

Do you implement the fixes too? expand_more

Optionally, yes. A remediation retainer from $1,500/mo implements the roadmap and re-measures monthly — and your audit fee credits toward the first month. The audit also stands alone; many clients hand the roadmap to their own team.

Why should I trust a new firm? expand_more

You don't have to take our word: the methodology is published above, every finding links to raw engine output, and the keep-the-report guarantee means a useless report costs you nothing.

Is my data confidential? expand_more

Yes. Your report, prompts and results are never shared, resold, or used in our marketing without written permission.

What does the research say?

We publish our data and methods — the same evidence standard your audit gets.
