AI Visibility Audit

Before we fix your AI visibility, we need to know where it stands

A one-time diagnostic that forms the foundation of every GEO and Content engagement. Brand-specific, not templated. Built on real expertise.

The audit is a one-time, paid diagnostic conducted at the start of every GEO and Content engagement. It tells us precisely what the actual problem is, so the work that follows is built on evidence, not assumption.

By the numbers

AI search is already shaping purchase decisions

AI assistants aren't just answering questions — they're influencing who gets shortlisted and who gets ignored. Most brands have no idea where they stand.

2x

AI referral traffic converts at roughly twice the rate of traditional search. AI visibility is a revenue lever, not a nice-to-have

12.1%

Of open-ended ChatGPT prompts trigger product recommendations. Your category is being shaped in real time, with or without your brand in the answer

14–16%

Conversion rate for users referred from AI platforms, among the highest-converting channels for brands with strong AI visibility.

Why the audit

Strategy without diagnosis is guesswork

Ranking on Google doesn't mean AI engines cite you. Without knowing your exact gaps, any GEO or content work is a guess. The audit removes that uncertainty before anything else begins.

5

Major AI engines shape B2B vendor shortlisting: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and AI Overviews. Each retrieves and cites differently

38%

Of brands ranking on Google's first page are missing from ChatGPT answers. Strong SEO doesn't guarantee AI citation.

14%

Of marketers track AI search performance. Most are optimizing blind, which is the gap the audit

What the audit covers

Data driven. Zero guesswork.

Every audit covers six structured areas covering entity clarity, live AI engine testing, and competitor benchmarking, mapped to your brand, your category, and your competitors.

01

LLM Brand Querying

We run real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and AI Overviews. Not templated searches, but prompts that mirror genuine purchase intent. You'll see precisely how your brand is described, when it's recommended, and when it's left out entirely.

Documented responses across all 5 platforms

Every answer logged before a word of the audit is written

02

Competitor Benchmarking

We map every topic where a rival appears and you don't, then identify the exact content and entity gaps handing them that visibility. Concrete, specific, and immediately actionable. No vague observations.

Platform-by-platform competitor citation comparison

Gap map tied directly to actionable fixes

03

Sentiment And Accuracy Scoring

Every AI response is scored for sentiment and factual accuracy, then compared platform by platform. You'll know where the reputational risk is highest and which AI engine is most likely to misrepresent you.

Accuracy flags with source attribution

04

Entity Coverage And Clarity

AI models build a picture of your brand from signals across the web. We assess how clearly your brand, products, founders, and services are defined and whether an AI can confidently resolve who you are without guessing.

Brand entity consistency across platforms

Founder, product, and service disambiguation

Knowledge panel and structured data presence

05

AI Readability And Indexability

Content written clearly for people can still confuse a language model. We score each page for AI extractability and review schema markup, crawler access, and internal link structure to ensure AI systems can actually reach and read your content.

Crawler access and technical indexability check

06

Trust Signals And Topical Authority

AI models weight third-party corroboration heavily. We audit your external mention quality, publication coverage, directory presence, and review platform credibility. Then we map whether your content signals genuine topical depth or reads as a generalist to a system that rewards specialists.

What comes next

The audit is where the engagement begins

Once the audit is complete, findings directly shape the work that follows. Depending on what surfaces, the next phase could be one service or both — the audit is designed to feed into either.

The audit fee is a one-time charge — paid upfront before the engagement begins.

Path A

GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation

For brands whose primary gap is AI citation and visibility. Strategy, entity building, and content optimisation to make your brand the answer AI engines reach for in your category.

Path B

Content Refresh & Revamp

For brands with existing content that needs to be restructured, deepened, or rewritten to meet AI citability standards and serve a modern, AI-first content strategy.

I first approached Crimson Salt for E -commerce website content for my skincare business. Crimson Salt team delivered well researched quality content. They also helped me set the tone of the brand. The content also accentuated premium positioning of the brand. I extended the association for SEO services and their professional inputs helped my website gain more visibility and traffic. Later I approached them for Linkedin content. As a founder I had ideas and industry insights. I wanted them to work with me closely to develop the ideas. That was one of the most meaningful collaborations my brand had on story telling. From the very first briefing to final delivery Crimson Salt team showed exceptional professionalism. I really wish more people would avail their services in future.
