A GEO audit built around the questions your buyers ask

What can a GEO audit answer for your team?

A GEO audit shows what we observe when relevant buyer questions are asked across the AI surfaces you agree to review. It brings answer mentions, visible citations, competitor examples and website findings into one useful picture.

That picture helps you decide where to look next. A missing brand mention may sit beside a page that lacks a clear explanation. It may also sit beside an answer that cites other sources. We record what is visible rather than treating one response as a verdict. The audit connects those observations to pages and content your team can check.

We begin by agreeing which offers, audiences, languages and markets matter. Then we shape a 3-part prompt set around discovery, comparison and decision questions. The set gives the review a clear path without turning it into a list of broad search phrases.

The result is a written account of the prompts reviewed, examples of answers and citations, competitor observations, and a prioritized action list. You can explore our wider AI search visibility work. Or focus on ChatGPT visibility if that is the surface your team wants to understand.

Keep the beta story from disappearing

Say a studio is about to open a closed beta, and a campaign has just ended with no record of what happened. The team remembers some conversations, but nobody can connect them to the questions people asked or the information they found. An audit gives that team a calm way to gather what is still visible and decide what needs a closer look.

We would first agree which beta details matter to prospective users. Then we would shape prompts around finding the product, understanding its use and comparing it with alternatives. We would note where the studio or its sources appear in the answers. We would also check whether the relevant public pages explain those details clearly.

That is the difference between collecting impressions and making a useful record. The report ties each observation to a prompt or page, so the studio can see what was checked and what remains uncertain. The goal is not to tell the team that one answer represents every buyer. It is to give them a grounded place to start.

For teams already tracking particular AI surfaces, AI visibility monitoring can help carry observation forward after the audit. The review itself gives you a clear starting point for deciding what to watch.

The evidence we put side by side

Useful audit findings connect a visible answer to the pages and information a team can review. We compare the prompt, answer, citation and site context. Then we explain what each example can and cannot show.

The review checks these parts together:

• Prompts: buyer questions grouped by discovery, comparison and decision.
• Answers: whether the business is named and how the relevant offer is described.
• Citations: visible sources and references accompanying the answer.
• Competitors: examples where alternatives appear in the same prompt set.
• Website: access to key pages, clear page structure and gaps in useful detail.

We check evidence in 2 passes. First, we capture what appears in the agreed answers. Next, we compare those observations with the relevant pages and content. That helps us separate a page issue from an answer pattern that needs more context. For content planning, see content for AI answers; for implementation questions, see technical AEO.

For example, suppose an ecommerce team wants to understand product comparisons. We can review the questions it cares about and record visible source links. We can also check whether its product pages contain clear comparison details. The report can then point to the specific information the team may want to strengthen.

From first questions to a useful handoff

A GEO audit moves from an agreed review plan to evidence, then to a handoff your team can act on. We use these 5 steps to keep the work connected to your business questions.

A good handoff makes the next owner clear. Each finding should name the page or prompt, explain why it matters, and suggest a practical action. Editorial changes may sit with your content team; access or page issues may need a technical owner. We keep those paths distinct so the report is easier to use.

Use the findings to choose your next move

The audit helps you choose a next action based on evidence, not on a single answer or score. Look for findings that point to a specific page, an unclear fact, a missing explanation or a source your team should review.

Some teams start by clarifying their own pages. Others first check whether important public pages are reachable and easy to understand. If trust signals or claims need closer attention, an E-E-A-T and trust audit can add a focused review. The right first task is one your team can verify when the change is complete.

AI answers and visible citations can change between prompts. Each platform controls its own answer presentation, source selection and access rules. We can document the agreed observations and deliver the review. But we cannot promise that a platform will cite a particular page or keep an answer unchanged.

To begin, send us your website, priority markets, key pages and a few questions buyers ask. We will review those details with you, confirm which prompts and surfaces belong in the audit, and agree the handoff your team needs.

How it works

1. Agree the reviewWe confirm the offers, audiences, languages, markets, AI surfaces and competitors. You share key pages and any review needs.
2. Shape buyer promptsWe group real buyer questions into prompt themes, then check that they reflect the decisions your customers face.
3. Record visible evidenceWe capture answers and citations, compare competitor observations, and check relevant pages on your site.
4. Organize next actionsWe connect each finding to a prompt or page and sort recommendations into clear next steps.
5. Review the handoffWe walk through the report with your team, clarify open points and help you choose what to address first.
