AI SEO Audit
A ground-truth read on where you stand across AI search today, and the exact gaps keeping you out of the answer.
What is an AI SEO audit?
An AI SEO audit is a structured review of how well your website can be crawled, understood, and cited by AI search systems — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — alongside its standing in traditional organic search.
It goes beyond a standard technical SEO audit by testing real prompts against your site and competitors, checking whether AI crawlers can actually access your pages, and evaluating whether your content is structured in a way large language models can extract and quote accurately.
What the audit gives you
A clear, prioritized picture — not a 40-page report you have to decode yourself.
A real visibility baseline
See exactly how often you're cited today versus your top three competitors, across every major AI engine.
Root-cause diagnosis
Know whether gaps come from crawlability, missing schema, weak entity signals, or content structure — not a guess.
A prioritized fix list
Every finding is ranked by expected impact and effort, so the highest-leverage work gets done first.
A defensible starting point
A documented benchmark to measure every future improvement against.
What's included in the audit
A single engagement, delivered as a working document and a live walkthrough call.
- AI crawler accessibility check
Confirms GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot can reach and render your pages. - Live prompt testing
Real queries run against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews to see who gets cited and why. - Schema and structured data review
Every schema type present today, validated, and compared against what's missing. - Entity and knowledge graph check
How clearly your brand, founder, and offerings resolve as recognizable entities. - Content answer-readiness scoring
Which pages are structured for AI extraction and which are buried in preamble. - Competitor citation gap analysis
Where competitors are being cited instead of you, and what they're doing differently. - Prioritized action roadmap
A ranked list of fixes with expected impact, handed off in plain language.
How I get you cited by AI engines
The same six-stage framework, applied to your site, your entities, and your competitors.
AI visibility audit
I run your brand, your domain, and your top competitors through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Claude to see exactly how often you're cited, quoted, or left out entirely, and why.
Entity and knowledge graph mapping
AI systems answer with entities, not keywords. I map how your brand, founders, products, and services are — or aren't — connected in Google's Knowledge Graph, Wikidata, and other sources large models draw from.
Technical AI-readiness fixes
Crawlability for AI bots (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot), server-side rendering, canonical structure, and page speed all get audited and fixed so AI crawlers can actually access and parse your content.
Answer-first content architecture
Pages get restructured around the direct question-answer format large language models prefer to lift: a clear claim up top, supporting evidence beneath it, and no burying the answer under three paragraphs of preamble.
Structured data and schema deployment
Organization, Service, FAQPage, Article, Review, and Product schema are implemented and validated so search engines and AI models can parse your content as verified, structured facts rather than guess at it.
Monitoring across AI engines
Once live, I track citation frequency, sentiment, and share of voice across the major AI answer engines month over month, and adjust the strategy as models and ranking factors change.
Why choose Alvin John Ferias for your AI SEO audit
AI search specialist, not a generalist
AEO and GEO are the core of my practice, not a slide added to a traditional SEO deck. I've been tracking how AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity source and cite content since these engines started sending real traffic.
Technical SEO foundation
Structured data, crawl budget, Core Web Vitals, and information architecture are the backbone of both traditional and AI search visibility — that technical grounding doesn't get skipped.
Schema and structured data depth
Most of what an AI model 'knows' about a page it learns from structured data and clean HTML semantics, not just prose. Schema implementation is done properly, validated, and monitored — not templated and forgotten.
Visibility measured across every engine that matters
Reporting covers Google (organic and AI Overviews), ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude — not just a rankings dashboard for ten blue links.
Strategy built for your business, not a template
Every engagement starts with your specific entity, competitors, and industry — the audit, the roadmap, and the content plan are built around what your business actually needs to be cited for.
Built for how your industry actually gets searched
AI SEO strategy adapts to how each industry gets cited — the entities, questions, and trust signals differ by vertical.
Frequently asked questions
How is an AI SEO audit different from a regular SEO audit?+
A regular SEO audit focuses on rankings, backlinks, and on-page basics. An AI SEO audit adds live testing of AI answer engines, AI-crawler accessibility checks, and entity and schema depth — the specific signals that determine whether you get cited inside an AI-generated answer.
How long does an audit take?+
Most audits are delivered within seven to ten business days, depending on site size and how many competitor comparisons are requested.
Do you need admin access to my site?+
No. The audit can be run entirely from the public-facing site and public tools. Admin access is only useful later, if you want implementation help.
What happens after the audit?+
You get a prioritized roadmap you can hand to your own team, or move straight into a strategy or implementation engagement.
Will the audit include my competitors?+
Yes — comparing your citation rate and technical setup against two or three direct competitors is a standard part of every audit.
