Method — How the audit works

Six pillars. One reading.

No proprietary black box. No vanity score. The method below is the entire system — what we read, how we weigh it, and what we hand back.

The six pillars
01

Schema integrity

Organization, Product, FAQ, BreadcrumbList, Article — validated against schema.org and the latest generative-engine guidance.

02

Entity clarity

Does the site declare what it is, who runs it, and how it relates to other named entities? We score sameAs, knowsAbout, and disambiguation density.

03

Document structure

Heading hierarchy, semantic landmarks, table-of-contents signals, and the answer-first patterns LLMs prefer when summarising.

04

Extraction quality

We render the page the way ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity render it — then measure what survived.

05

Citation surface

Author bylines, source links, original data, quotable lines. Pages with citation surface get quoted; pages without get paraphrased.

06

Freshness signal

datePublished, dateModified, sitemap lastmod, and the cadence between them. Stale sites lose to fresh ones — even at lower authority.

The four phases
  1. Phase 01

    Read

    We render up to 250 of your most-trafficked pages with a headless engine that mimics OpenAI's, Anthropic's and Perplexity's crawlers.

  2. Phase 02

    Score

    Each page passes through the six pillars. Pillar scores roll up into a 0–100 composite, weighted by how each engine actually cites in your category.

  3. Phase 03

    Prescribe

    We hand back a ranked list of fixes — the smallest changes with the largest expected lift on AI visibility. Most are one-line edits.

  4. Phase 04

    Re-read

    Run the audit again in thirty days. We diff the result and tell you which fixes moved the needle. No fixes, no charge for the re-read.

Read the score on your own site.

One audit is free. No card, no onboarding call, no sales follow-up.
