What is an AI visibility audit?

A plain explanation of what gets tested, what the results mean and what to do next.

By CoreTxt · Updated October 3, 2026

An AI visibility audit tests whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overview and Perplexity mention your business when customers ask for a recommendation, then explains why or why not and what to fix.

What an AI visibility audit checks

  • AI answers: real customer questions asked across the major assistants, recording who gets named and in what order.
  • Structured data: whether your site tells machines who you are, what you do and where you work.
  • Website content: whether your service pages clearly answer the questions customers ask.
  • Listings and details: whether your name, service area and hours match across the places assistants look.
  • Reviews and third-party sources: which outside sites shape the answer, and whether they mention you.
  • Competitors: who gets recommended in your area and what they do differently.

Why it matters

More customers now ask an assistant who to hire before they open a list of search results. An assistant usually names only a few businesses in a single answer. If you are not one of them, that customer may never see you.

What the results look like

Results are easiest to read as a mention rate. For example, a business might be mentioned in 3 of 24 test questions while a competitor appears in 15. The gap, and the reasons behind it, are what the audit explains.

What you do with the results

A good audit ends in a ranked fix list, written in plain language. Typical fixes include adding structured data, rewriting thin service pages, making listing details match, and adding pages that answer common customer questions.

What no audit can promise

No one controls what an assistant says. An audit finds the gaps that keep you from being considered, and fixing them improves your chances. It cannot guarantee a mention or a position.
