AI-Ready SEO Discovery

Feeling like your website deserves more visibility but can’t figure out why it’s being left behind? You’re not alone. Search has changed — AI-powered tools like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are reshaping how people find answers, and most websites aren’t ready for it. That’s where my AI-Ready SEO Audit comes in.

Hire me as your digital marketing detective and I’ll uncover not just the technical issues holding you back — but how well positioned you are for the future of search.

Your AI-Ready SEO Audit

The audit will cover best practices in search, a light competitive analysis, and a review of how your content is positioned to appear in AI-powered search results.

I investigate crawling and indexing issues through Google Search Console and blend data between Google Search Console and Google Analytics to get a full picture of the value of these pages.

I use a carefully curated set of industry-leading tools to pinpoint technical SEO patterns, audience insights, and brand visibility signals that could be holding back your discoverability.

The audit will cover all the best practices in search, an AI search readiness review, and a competitive cohort analysis for insights, inspiration, and benchmarking.

 

Action Plan

With the SEO Audit, you will also receive a checklist detailing errors, issues, and opportunities discovered in the audit prioritized by effort and urgency.

This isn’t just a report — it’s your roadmap to discoverability, whether you execute with your internal team or work alongside me and my trusted partners.

Google Data Studio Report

You will receive a Google Data Studio Report that integrates data from Google Search Console and Google Analytics into a single link.

This may include custom dimensions that supported discovery insights during the audit, such as a comparison of your brand vs. non-brand search keywords or which pages are driving discovery through AI-powered search, tracked via a custom formula that identifies AI traffic as a session source.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AEO and GEO, and do you cover it in the audit?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your content to appear in direct answers served by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) takes it a step further — optimizing for how generative AI models surface and cite your content.
Yes, both are included. As part of your audit I assess how well your content is structured to be discovered and referenced by AI-powered search, and your action plan will include specific recommendations to improve your visibility.

How do I know if my site is showing up in AI search results?

Honestly, most people don’t — and that’s the problem. Unlike traditional search, there’s no Google Search Console for AI. There’s no dashboard that tells you whether ChatGPT or Perplexity is referencing your content or sending you traffic.

That’s where my toolkit comes in. I use tools like ahrefs Brand Radar to track how your brand is surfacing in AI-generated results, SparkToro to understand where your audience is actually getting their information, and ZipTie.dev for deeper AI traffic analysis — alongside a custom method to identify AI-driven sessions in your own analytics data. Together they give us a meaningful picture that most audits simply don’t look for.

Can't I just do this myself?
Certainly! Anyone can learn SEO! The value of an AI-Ready SEO Discovery is having a guide show you the ropes. Each one I create is bespoke and completely customized to you and your business with an experienced eye and premium tools that quickly elevate the top priorities to start you on your path to discoverability. And with AI-powered search evolving as fast as it is, having an experienced guide means you’re not figuring it out alone — or too late.

Who is this for?

The AI-Ready SEO Discovery is for business owners, marketing teams, and agencies who sense their website could be working harder — but aren’t sure where the gaps are. If you’ve noticed a drop in traffic, feel invisible in search, or are wondering whether your content is showing up in AI-powered tools like ChatGPT or Google’s AI Overviews, this is your starting point.

How much is an AI-Ready SEO Discovery?

The SEO Audit starts at $2,000. This will give me enough time to familiarize myself with your website, run tests, and uncover insights and relevant action items specific to you.

 

 

What is the process to get started?

Start by scheduling a connection call. If we decide it’s a good fit, you’ll receive a formal proposal and contract. Upon signing, I’ll send you an onboarding document that walks through everything I’ll need access to — including Google Search Console and Google Analytics. If you don’t have those set up yet, no worries, I can help with that too.

A 50% deposit is required upon signature with the remaining balance due at project completion. Once we’re underway, I’ll reach out if anything urgent comes up in discovery and we’ll schedule a final call to walk through your findings and action plan together.

What happens after the AI-Ready SEO Discovery?
You walk away with a clear picture of where you stand — in traditional search and in AI-powered results — and a prioritized action plan to move forward. From there, you can take the roadmap to your internal team, or we can keep working together. I have a network of trusted partners who can help execute on everything from content to technical fixes, and I’m available for ongoing consulting if you want a guide in your corner as you implement.
Please note: the AI-Ready SEO Discovery is a research and strategy engagement — it does not include execution.
