What the free audit checks.

[ short answer ]

The free audit crawls your key pages, scores Core Web Vitals on mobile and desktop, and tests whether live AI search mentions your business. You get a visibility score out of 100, three scored areas, and your top 3 fixes ranked by impact in about five minutes. No card, no sales call required to read it.

What we check and score

  • Site crawl. We map every URL on your site, then deep-crawl your homepage and your key pages the way a search engine would.
  • Core Web Vitals. Lighthouse runs on mobile and desktop, scoring LCP, CLS, and TBT, the speed signals Google actually uses.
  • Crawl access. robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, and HTTPS redirects, so both Google and AI crawlers can reach you.
  • AI-search visibility. We test real buyer prompts in live AI search and report whether your business gets mentioned.
  • Three scored areas. Content quality, technical health, and mobile experience, each scored so you can see which layer is weakest.
  • Top 3 fixes. The changes ranked by impact, plus the full findings list behind them.

What you get back

A single visibility score out of 100, plus three scored areas (content quality, technical health, and mobile experience) so you can see at a glance which layer is holding you back.

Then the part that matters: a prioritized fix list. Not a wall of red checkmarks — the specific changes ranked by estimated impact, so you know exactly what to do first. It is the same diagnostic our own team works from.

If your problem is traffic that never turns into calls, the audit shows you which layer is costing you the phone: content that does not answer real questions, technical problems, a rough mobile experience, or no AI-answer presence.

Why a real audit beats a free "SEO grade"

Most "free audit" tools run a thirty-second scan and email you a grade designed to scare you into a sales call. Ours actually maps your whole site, deep-crawls your key pages, runs Lighthouse on mobile and desktop, and tests live AI answers. The difference is the AEO phase. Almost no free tool checks whether AI answer engines mention you, and that is the channel growing fastest.

You leave with data, not a pitch. If the report convinces you to have us fix it, great. If not, the fix list still works in anyone's hands.

[ frequently asked ]

Straight answers.

Is the audit really free?
Yes. No card, no trial, no sales call required to unlock it. You submit your domain, and about five minutes later you get a full report with a visibility score and a prioritized fix list. The report is yours to keep whether or not you ever hire us.
How long does the audit take?
About 60 seconds to submit and roughly five minutes to run. It maps your site, deep-crawls your homepage and key pages, scores Core Web Vitals on mobile and desktop, and runs a live AI-search visibility check, then assembles a dated report you can read immediately.
What does the audit check?
Three scored areas: content quality, technical health, and mobile experience. Behind them sit the hard checks: a site crawl, Core Web Vitals on mobile and desktop, robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, HTTPS, and a live AI-search visibility check. You get a single visibility score out of 100 and your top 3 fixes ranked by impact.
Will the audit tell me if ChatGPT mentions my business?
Yes. The AEO phase tests real buyer prompts in live AI search and reports whether your business gets mentioned. For most local operators the answer is no, which is exactly the gap worth closing. The deep audit we run before any engagement expands this into a full prompt sweep across every major AI engine.
Do I have to hire you after the audit?
No. Plenty of operators run the audit, hand the fix list to their existing webmaster, and never speak to us. The audit is real value, not a gate. If you do want us to close the gaps, we quote off the report.
