What is an AI visibility audit?
An AI visibility audit checks whether AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — cite your brand when buyers ask them questions in your category. AuditAE runs the prompts your customers actually use, queries all four engines in real time, and reports whether each one cites you, mentions you, or leaves you out entirely — alongside the competitors getting named in your place.
It’s the AI-search equivalent of a rank check, with one difference: the “rank” is whether the engine names you in the answer at all. That gap never shows up in Google Analytics, Search Console, or your CRM. The only way to see it is to query the engines directly — which is exactly what this audit does.
Your CEO just asked if you’re cited in ChatGPT.
More than half of US buyers now use generative AI for product research. They ask ChatGPT for the best tool in your category, Perplexity for a comparison, Google AI Overviews for a quick answer. Three engines, three different recommended brands — and most of the time, yours isn’t one of them.
One prompt, four engines, one view.
Enter the prompts your buyers actually run. AuditAE hits all four engines in real time and returns four things per prompt.
Per engine, per prompt. A plain badge — no interpretation needed.
Who's getting cited in your place, named directly in the answer.
The exact URLs each engine pulled from to build its answer.
Your citation rate against every competitor named in the answers, ranked.
How to run a free AI visibility audit
Use the questions your buyers actually ask — “best [category] for [buyer],” “[competitor] alternatives,” “is [your brand] any good.” Not keywords; prompts.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews — or all four for the full picture.
Each prompt × engine returns in seconds with a cited / mentioned / missing badge, the cited source URLs, and every competitor named.
The prompts where a competitor is cited and you aren’t are your playbook — and the source URLs tell you exactly what the engine trusted to build that answer.
Your first audit is free, and your $5 credit covers about 5 full audits before you’d ever add a card.
Which AI engines does the audit cover?
AI Overviews has no official API, so coverage depends on SerpAPI’s parsing — the same constraint every tool in the category works under. We’re upfront about it.
How much does an AI visibility audit cost?
Pay-per-use, no subscription. A check is one prompt × one engine. New accounts get $5 of free credit on signup — about 5 typical audits (5 prompts × 4 engines each), or 100 individual checks. No card, no expiry, nothing auto-renews.
If you audit quarterly, you pay for a quarter — not twelve months of access to use four.
AI citations, Google ranks, technical SEO — one workspace.
Most “AI visibility” tools stop at citations. AuditAE also tracks your Google rankings (DataForSEO) and Core Web Vitals (PageSpeed Insights), so when AEBOT writes your monthly report it has the full picture — not one slice. One ledger, one bill, one chat that knows your whole SEO state.
Not cited and not sure why? Half the time it’s technical: a robots.txt rule, no llms.txt, text the engines can’t read without JavaScript. The free AI search audit scores any site 0–100 on exactly those checks and emails the fixes.
Questions worth asking.
It queries AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) with the prompts your buyers ask, then reports whether your brand is cited, where in the answer, alongside which competitors, and from which source URLs. It's the AI-search equivalent of a rank tracker.
Enter a buyer prompt — for example “best CRM for startups” — run it against ChatGPT in AuditAE, and you'll get a cited / mentioned / missing badge plus the exact source URLs ChatGPT used. Add Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews to see the full cross-engine picture in one view.
Yes. Your first audit needs no credit card, and $5 of free credit lands when you create an account — about 3 full four-engine audits or 60 checks. Add a card only when you want to top up.
An SEO audit checks whether you rank in Google's blue links. An AI visibility audit checks whether AI engines cite you in the answer they generate — a different surface, different signals, and increasingly where high-intent research happens. Ranking on page one doesn't mean you're cited.
5–12¢ per check (one prompt × one engine), priced at what each engine costs us to run: Perplexity 5¢, ChatGPT 7¢, Google AI Overviews 9¢, Gemini 12¢. A 5-prompt audit across all four engines is $1.65. New accounts get $5 free — no subscription, nothing auto-renews.
Same category, different pricing. They charge monthly subscriptions — Otterly $29–$489/month, Profound $99/month for ChatGPT alone and $399 for Growth. AuditAE is pay-per-use across all four engines, with $5 free on signup. Audit quarterly and you pay for a quarter.
Yes. Every audit returns competitor mentions and share-of-voice with no extra setup. Run prompts at competitor categories to baseline them directly.
