AI Visibility Audit
How can I check if my brand is already appearing in AI answers?
An AI Visibility Audit is the first step to uncovering your competitive position in search. We start by mapping your current visibility across traditional search engines and AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, Google, and Perplexity. Our audit identifies where your brand is surfacing and where competitors have an edge, uncovering gaps and opportunities.
