What Happens When Your Brand Isn’t AI-Citable
What the AiEO Audit Does
The AiEO Audit establishes a clear baseline of your AI visibility and delivers a practical 90-day roadmap to improve it.
We answer three core questions:
- How AI sees you
What AI tools say about your organization when people ask about your work, your expertise or your services. - What AI uses
Which pages, directories, articles and third-party sources AI pulls from—and where your content is missing, unclear or overshadowed. - Who and where you show up for
Which audiences, needs and question types trigger visibility—and where you’re absent or misrepresented.
Primary Outputs
- 90-day prioritized opportunity plan
- Visibility score and quality ranking
- Citation and source map
- Page-by-page recommendations
