Most businesses have no idea whether they are visible.
Not "roughly how are we doing." Actually no idea. You do not know whether ChatGPT names you when a customer asks for a recommendation in your category. You do not know whether the businesses it names instead are better, or just better structured. Nothing in your analytics will tell you, because a search that never sends a click never shows up anywhere you look.
You have probably been offered a free audit. It was a sales pitch with a template attached: an automated crawl, a red-yellow-green chart, and a proposal on the last page. This one is paid because it is real work, run by a person, over five to seven days. And the fee comes straight back the moment you hire us.
Five things, every time.
- 01
Technical crawl
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup, page speed, mobile rendering, crawl and index errors.
- 02
AI Visibility Scorecard
We take twenty questions your actual customers ask and run them through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. We record whether you get named, who gets named instead, and what those businesses have that you do not.

Local presence review
Google Business Profile completeness and accuracy, review volume and recency, citation consistency across the directories that feed AI answers.

Competitor snapshot
The three to five businesses winning the answers in your category, and specifically what they are doing to earn it.
- 05
Working session
A sixty minute call to walk the findings, not a recorded video and a PDF dropped in your inbox.
A report you keep, and a list you can start on Monday.
Things we would do
The work that needs a specialist: schema deployment, site architecture, entity and citation building, technical repair, cornerstone content. Prioritized by what will move first, with an honest note on what each one is likely to be worth.
Things you can do yourself this week
This column is real, not a token gesture. Specific fixes you can make without hiring anyone: profile fields to complete, hours and service areas to correct, review requests to send, questions to answer on pages you already have. Some businesses take this list and run it themselves, and that is a legitimate outcome.
Who this is for, and who it is not.
This is for you if
- You do not know whether you show up in AI answers, and you want a real number instead of a guess.
- You are paying for marketing and cannot tell what it is producing.
- You are about to spend money on a site, content, or ads and want to spend it in the right order.
This is not for you if
- You are looking for a free opinion. This one is paid because it is real work.
- You already have a working strategy and just want cheaper execution.
If the audit is not a fit, say so on the call and we will tell you what is, including nothing at all.
Audit questions
Why does this audit cost money when other agencies give one away free?
Because a free audit is a sales document and this one is not. Free audits are usually an automated crawl with a proposal attached, generated in minutes. This one takes 5 to 7 business days of real work, including twenty live prompts run across four AI assistants. The $499 is credited in full if you hire us within 30 days, so it costs nothing to move forward.
How long does the Signal Audit take?
Five to seven business days from intake. Intake is a short questionnaire and, where you can provide it, read-only access to your analytics and Google Business Profile.
What do I actually receive at the end?
A written report you keep, a prioritized fix list split into what we would do and what you can do yourself this week, and a sixty minute working session to walk through it. The report is yours whether or not you hire us.
Do you need access to my website or my accounts?
Read-only access to Google Analytics and your Google Business Profile makes the audit sharper, but it is not required. Most of the work is done from the outside, the same way a customer or an AI assistant sees you.
Am I obligated to hire you afterward?
No. The audit is a standalone engagement. Plenty of businesses take the fix list and run it themselves, which is exactly why the do-it-yourself column exists.
How does the $499 credit work?
The full $499 is credited toward Signal Foundation or the first month of any Signal retainer started within 30 days of your working session. It is applied automatically to the first invoice.
