The Opportunity Gap

Best-performing retail sites score 82.5% machine-readability. Worst performers: 54.2%. That's a 28-point gap between leaders and laggards.

AI traffic converts better, browses longer (+48%), and generates 37% higher revenue per visit — but only if AI systems can find and trust your content.

Your Site Might Look Perfect — But AI Can't See It

Most ecommerce sites were built for Google's web crawlers, not AI shopping assistants. The result: pricing errors, wrong product recommendations, and lost sales.

What We've Seen

  • ChatGPT recommends a competitor instead of your brand — even when your site has the better price
  • Google AI invents product specs that don't appear on your page
  • Perplexity can't confirm if your item is in stock
  • Claude recommends a reseller before your own site
  • AI systems miss sale prices, bundles, and limited-time offers

Why It Happens

  • AI crawlers don't run JavaScript. Your product grid? Invisible.
  • Missing schema markup. AI can't trust pricing without structured data.
  • Resellers rank higher. They copied your SKU but with better AI visibility.
  • Image-based content. Your tagline is in your logo — AI sees "untitled image."
  • Stale cache. AI reads last week's index, not today's sale.

What's Included in Your Audit

A professional 7-10 page report that shows you exactly where you stand and what to fix first.

We test your brand on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI (Overview/Gemini), and Claude with real buyer queries — then compare results.

Machine-Readability Analysis

Side-by-side comparison of what human visitors see vs. what AI systems can actually read from your pages.

Citation Accuracy Check

Are AI systems quoting your correct price, availability, and specs? Or recommending competitors instead?

Competitor Benchmarking

How you rank vs. competitors when AI answers category questions. Who wins the citation, and why?

Prioritized Roadmap

High-impact/low-effort fixes ranked first. Technical gaps, schema issues, content blind spots — all mapped.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a GEO Visibility Audit cost?

Reach out for a quote. Pricing depends on your site size, catalog depth, and scope — we'll confirm everything after a short discovery call. No fixed price on the site because every audit is scoped to your business.

How is this different from an SEO audit?

SEO audits optimize for Google's web crawlers and ranking algorithms. GEO audits optimize for AI shopping assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) that don't execute JavaScript, rely heavily on schema markup, and prioritize citation accuracy over keyword density. The technical gaps are different, and the fixes don't overlap 1:1.

Do you fix the issues you find?

This is an audit-only service. You get a clear, prioritized action plan in the report — most clients implement fixes in-house or with their existing dev or marketing team.

Which platforms do you test?

We test ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI (Overview and Gemini use the same underlying systems), and Claude by default. Need Copilot or another assistant covered? Tell us during scoping.

What sites can you audit?

We audit websites you own and control — Shopify and WooCommerce stores, D2C brand sites, B2B storefronts, and similar. We don't audit Amazon product listings; Amazon's platform is gated and not accessible for this type of third-party audit.

How long does it take?

Typical turnaround is 2-3 business days from kickoff to report delivery. Rush audits (24-48 hours) available on request.

What if my site is brand new or very small?

That's actually ideal timing — fix GEO visibility before you scale, not after. Smaller sites (under 50 pages) typically turn around faster than large catalogs.

AI Traffic Isn't Slowing Down

The gap between leaders (82.5% AI-readable) and laggards (54.2%) is widening. Find out where you stand before competitors capture the traffic you should be getting.
