AI Visibility Audit: What AI Says About You

Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI who to hire in your category and read the answer. The audit does that properly: your priority questions, engine by engine, who gets named instead of you, and a fix list in priority order. $499, one time, written up in plain English.

Home/AI Visibility Audit

We look at your site first, then ask a few quick questions. No pitch until we know it’s worth your time.

What’s included

You get a written report, not a score. It’s the same report our monthly AI Visibility clients start with, and it’s yours whether you hire us afterward or not. See a sample audit report →

Focus areas · AI services

Your priority questions

Up to 10 questions your customers actually ask AI about your category and your area, agreed with you before anything runs.

Engine by engine

How ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews, Claude and Grok answer each question, and whether your business is named.

What the answers say

Where you’re named, how you’re described, and whether the facts are right: services, area, hours.

Who gets named instead

The businesses the answers reach for, and the sources that put them there.

The sources AI trusts

Your site, your Google Business Profile, your reviews and the outside pages the engines cite, checked for gaps and contradictions.

The fix list

What to change, in priority order, and who can do each item: you, your web team, or us.

A walkthrough call

We go through the report with you and answer your questions.

When you can’t run ads, being the answer matters twice as much.

Don’t take our word for it

“The Southern Tide Media team has smartly positioned itself as partners, versus “vendors.” Each step along the strategic path, I feel as if they are “all in” and have our best interests at heart.”

George DuRantNorth Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce

“Southern Tide Media increased our conversion rates on our SEO campaigns by 60% in short time… Brandon takes the worry out of all the technical jargon and translates that into workable applications you can understand as a business owner.”

Denise BurnsIn The Shade Beach Canopies

“In every dealing I have ever had with Brandon Evans, he has been knowledgeable, fair, and has responded quickly. I would highly recommend using him for any of your business’s marketing or advertising needs!”

Questions, answered

How is this different from the AI Visibility Snapshot?

The Snapshot is an automated first look with nothing to sign. The audit is done by a person, against questions agreed with you, across each engine, and it ends in a fix list you can act on.

Do I have to hire you afterward?

No. The report is yours. Plenty of businesses hand the fix list to their own web team. If you’d rather we do the work, start Managed within 30 days and the $499 is credited.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend us after the fixes?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. The engines decide. What we can do is fix what they read: your pages, your listings, your reviews and the facts about you that don’t match.

What do you need from me?

Your website address, access to view your Google Business Profile if you have one, and a few minutes to agree the questions.

We already rank well on Google. Do we need this?

Maybe not, and the audit will say so. Ranking on the results page and being named in an AI answer are different scores, so it’s worth checking once.

Curious what AI could do for your marketing?

We’ll look at your current setup — ads, site, SEO, automation — and show you exactly where AI and a sharper strategy could move the needle. On us, no obligation.
