Sample deliverable

The deliverable, in full.

A complete AI Visibility Audit for a sample company. Yours is built on your real data, carries your brand, and is delivered when your audit completes.

The free check is a quick snapshot of where AI mentions your business today — this full audit is the paid deliverable.

Measured, not guessed

Every finding traces to a real AI answer we captured — rank, tone, and who got cited instead of you. No checklists, no opinions.

Engine-by-engine

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews, Claude and Grok rank differently. You get a per-engine playbook, not one-size-fits-all advice.

Proof it worked

After changes ship, we re-run the same buyer prompts and show the movement. You see rankings improve — measured, every month.

01Executive Summary & AI Visibility Score
16/ 100

Visibility Score · Grade F

Illustrative sample — measured from 200 prompts × 6 engines on 2026-07-28.

The verdict

Across 200 buyer prompts and 6 AI engines, Summit Crest Roofing is cited far less than its competitors. The biggest losses are in high-intent pricing and comparison queries, where AI currently recommends Ironclad Exteriors and directory sites instead. This is a closeable gap: the winning pages are answer-first, schema-rich, and entity-consistent — all things we build and publish automatically.

  • AI Visibility Score: 16/100 (F) — below the threshold where AI reliably recommends you.
  • Share of voice: 12% vs 29% for the category leader (Ironclad Exteriors).
  • Weakest on transactional + comparison prompts — the exact moments a buyer is choosing who to hire.
  • 1 aggregator/directory sites are winning answers a local business should own.

Aggregators & directories absorbing your citations

These sites soak up answers a local business should own. You don't out-build them like a competitor — you out-structure them: own the direct answer with schema-rich, answer-first pages so AI cites you instead of the directory.

11Keyword & Market Demand

The real service keywords in your market with live monthly search volume and ad cost — and the page (if any) that targets each one. This is demand you can capture by being the AI-cited answer instead of paying for clicks.

285,440

Total addressable searches / mo

$3,312,764/mo

What buying these clicks in Google Ads costs / mo

30

Keywords with no page targeting them

If you paid Google Ads for every one of these searches, it would cost about $3,312,764/month (live cost-per-click × monthly volume, Austin, TX). That's the size of the whole market — not a promise you capture all of it — and every buyer question you win in AI answers is a slice of it you get without paying per click.

13Prioritized Roadmap

Exactly what we build — and the goal of each phase. This is the plan we execute autonomously the moment you say go.

Foundation: schema + entityWeeks 1-2

Make AI able to resolve and trust who you are.

  • Publish LocalBusiness + Service + FAQ schema
  • Fix NAP consistency + declare sameAs
  • Publish llms.txt + AI-bot robots.txt

Expected: AI can now reliably identify and cite the business.

Answer-first content on lost queriesWeeks 3-6

Win the high-intent prompts competitors currently own.

  • Build comparison + cost-guide pages with lead answers
  • Add AggregateRating from real reviews
  • Internal-link the new cluster

Expected: Target presence 19% → 44% on priority prompts.

Monitor, measure, expandOngoing

Hold gains and take new queries each cycle.

  • Re-scan all engines monthly
  • Boost still-unwon prompts
  • Expand to adjacent topic clusters

Expected: Compounding share-of-voice growth vs competitors.
