AI Visibility Audit: can the answer engines read, understand and cite your firm?
Paste your web address. In under a minute you get a scored reading of the public pages: whether the AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) can reach, parse and quote the firm, every finding with the evidence found on your own page, why it matters and the exact fix. No sign in to run it.
AI Visibility Audit reads the public pages of a professional firm and reports whether the AI answer engines can reach, understand and cite it. It runs twenty-six checks, from crawler access to schema.org markup, and for every one it shows the evidence from your own page, why it matters and the exact fix. Running it is free and needs no account.
One domain at a time. The reader fetches the homepage and up to nine internal pages, and reads robots.txt and llms.txt. It names itself in the fetch, waits at most ten seconds per page and keeps nothing unless you save a report.
What it reads, and why these twenty-six things
Can they reach you
AI crawler access in robots.txt, an llms.txt, and whether your text is in the raw HTML or only rendered by JavaScript. A blocked crawler ends everything else.
Can they understand you
Schema.org JSON-LD matched to your trade, FAQ content, an explicit niche statement, a named services list, and the exclusions that set your boundary.
Can they trust and place you
A location and service area that agrees across pages, credentials such as a registration number or professional body, a clear title and heading structure, a machine-readable contact path and a visible date.
Twelve trades, twelve sets of specifics
What an answer engine needs to see differs by trade. A family law firm needs matter types and jurisdictions; a physio clinic needs conditions treated and modalities; an insurance broker needs the insurers and the classes of cover. Open your own.

Why are firms losing enquiries to the answer engines?
Buyers used to ask a search engine and get ten links. Now they ask an answer engine and get one answer. The answer engines quote only pages that state facts explicitly and in a form a machine can parse: who the firm works with, what it does, what it does not do, where it is, and what it is qualified to do. A page that leaves those facts to the reader, or hides them behind JavaScript, is a page the engines rarely quote.
This audit turns those requirements into twenty-six deterministic checks, each one returning the evidence found on your page, why it matters and the fix. It is the first pass a firm runs before spending money with an agency, and the checklist it hands a web developer.
Does a high score guarantee a citation?
No. It is a reading of your public pages against the things answer engines need in order to read and cite a page. It states what is missing and how to fix it. No tool can promise a citation, and this one does not try to.
What it does not do
It does not rank you, buy links, or promise a citation. It reads your public pages and reports what is missing. Backlinks, rankings, paid ads and analytics are out of scope and named here so you are not sold a coverage that does not exist.
