AI SEO & Search Audit
Your Fixed-Price Citation Baseline Across ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overviews

A plain-English evaluation of whether search engines and conversational AI models cite and recommend your business

What is the AI SEO Audit? It is a 10 to 15-business-day, fixed-price diagnostic that tests your business against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and local search rankings. You receive a Search Console query audit, a citation baseline against top local competitors, a structured Schema check, and a plain-English 90-day roadmap detailing exactly what to optimise first.

I built this diagnostic service because generic software audit exports do not solve commercial business problems. Before committing to a larger strategy sprint, you need clear evidence of where your website succeeds, where crawl errors exist, and why competitors are being cited instead of you.

Every audit tier provides a dated citation baseline, competitor benchmark, and prioritised 90-day action plan, delivered as an actionable working document rather than a generic slide deck.

Three fixed-price tiers, starting from $990. No lock-in contracts, no upsell pressure — the diagnostic stands on its own.

What You Receive in Your Audit

A diagnostic is only valuable if it clarifies your immediate commercial actions. Across every tier of the AI SEO Audit, we evaluate one core question: When prospective clients search for your core services in Google or ask conversational AI engines for recommendations, is your business named—and if not, why?

Every diagnostic deliverable includes:
  • Google Search Console Analysis: Review of high-intent search queries currently driving impressions and clicks.
  • Generative Citation Baseline: Programmatic citation testing across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for your primary service queries.
  • Structured Data & Entity Review: Verification of JSON-LD Schema markup and NAP data consistency across business listings.
  • Competitor Citation Benchmark: Direct comparison against top local competitors to isolate visibility gaps.
  • 90-Day Growth Roadmap: A prioritised action plan ordered by effort versus commercial impact.

You retain full ownership of all raw crawl data, diagnostic exports, and strategic roadmaps, whether you implement the changes internally or partner with Creative Orbit for execution.

What Diagnostic Testing Isolates

Diagnostic testing highlights real discrepancies between standard rankings and generative AI recommendations. Below are insights from live Search Console data:

🎯

Top Placement vs Zero Clicks

“AI SEO Audit Sydney” — Top of Page 1, 50 impressions, 0 clicks

This demonstrates that standard organic rankings for informational queries do not automatically drive clicks when AI summaries answer user intent directly on-screen. This audit reveals whether your brand is explicitly named inside those summaries. Read the full analysis →
