AI Focused SEO Audit
The search landscape has fundamentally changed. AI Overviews are on the rise: 13.14% of all queries triggered AI Overviews in March 2025. That’s up from 6.49% in January 2025. Google’s AI Mode is now the default search experience, and your website needs to be optimized for this new reality—or risk becoming invisible to your potential customers.
Think of an AI SEO Audit as your comprehensive health check for the age of artificial intelligence search. While a Basic SEO Audit ensures your website follows traditional SEO best practices, an AI SEO Audit goes deeper. It analyzes how well your content performs in AI-powered search experiences like Google’s AI Overviews, AI Mode, and other generative search platforms.
What’s Different About AI Search?
The AI will automatically divide [complex queries] into several parallel searches… It then synthesizes all this information into a coherent and personalized response. This evolution changes the game for content creators. It’s no longer enough to optimize for a main keyword. Your content must now answer specific aspects of a broader topic, with precision and expertise that allows AI to identify them as reliable sources.
Traditional SEO focused on ranking for specific keywords. AI SEO focuses on being the source that AI systems cite and recommend. When someone asks an AI search engine about your industry, will your website be mentioned? An AI SEO Audit tells you exactly where you stand—and how to improve.
How AI Search Is Affecting Your Website Right Now
Your organic traffic patterns have likely already changed, even if you haven’t noticed. SEOs have already seen a correlation between increased AI Overviews and decreased website traffic, with some sites losing 20 – 60% of their traffic. But this isn’t just about lost clicks—it’s about lost visibility, credibility, and ultimately, revenue.
Here’s what’s happening to websites that aren’t optimized for AI search:
- Reduced Brand Visibility: AI systems show only 1-3 sources in their responses, meaning most websites are completely ignored
- Traffic Decline: Users get their answers directly from AI without clicking through to your site
- Authority Erosion: If AI doesn’t cite your content, search engines may begin to view your site as less authoritative
- Competitive Disadvantage: Your competitors who optimize for AI search will capture the traffic and citations you’re missing

The AI SEO Audit Process
Week 1: Data Collection & AI Performance Analysis We begin by analyzing your current visibility across major AI search platforms. Using advanced tools and proprietary methodologies, we assess how frequently your content appears in AI-generated responses and identify patterns in AI citation behavior.
Week 2: Content Structure & Authority Assessment
Our team evaluates your content through the lens of AI comprehension. We analyze whether your content demonstrates the Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) signals that AI systems prioritize when selecting sources to cite.
Week 3: Competitive Intelligence & Gap Analysis We identify your real competitors in AI search—which may be different from your traditional SEO competitors. Because Google AI (SGE) isn’t doing SEO by quoting the tenth AI-written blog post that says the same thing as the last nine. It’s quoting the one that said something first, and said it with guts.
Week 4: Strategic Recommendations & Implementation Roadmap You’ll receive a comprehensive audit report delivered in a PowerPoint presentation, just like our traditional audits. But this report focuses specifically on AI search optimization opportunities, complete with prioritized action items and implementation timelines.
Why This Matters for Your Business
The businesses that thrive in the AI search era will be those that adapt quickly. The same tactics that earn coverage, backlinks, and social engagement also improve your odds in AI summaries and SERP overviews. If you can master this convergence, you’ll win on Google, ChatGPT, TikTok, and whatever fractures emerge next.
Consider this: when potential customers ask AI about products or services in your industry, they’re forming opinions based on the sources AI chooses to cite. If your business isn’t mentioned, you’re not just losing a potential click—you’re losing the opportunity to be considered at all.
An AI SEO Audit ensures you’re not just adapting to change, but leading it. While your competitors struggle to understand why their traffic is declining, you’ll be positioned as the authoritative source that AI systems consistently recommend.
What Makes Our AI SEO Audit Different
Unlike generic SEO audits that focus on traditional ranking factors, our AI SEO Audit is specifically designed for the generative search era. We don’t just tell you what’s wrong—we show you exactly how to become the kind of authoritative, citable source that AI systems prefer.
Our audit includes:

- Content Authority Scoring: Assessment of your content’s expertise signals
- Competitive AI Benchmarking: How you compare to others in AI search results
- Implementation Priorities: Which changes will have the biggest impact first
