AI search visibility audits

Understand how AI search represents your brand.

CiteFrame evaluates AI-generated answers, source evidence and technical conditions, then delivers prioritized findings and implementation guidance.

An audit service for marketing, SEO and growth teams.

What the audit examines

Coverage follows your questions, agreed scope and available evidence.

Brand visibility

Whether your brand is mentioned, cited or recommended in the tested AI responses, with the prompt and answer retained.

Technical accessibility

Crawler access, response behavior, content extractability and structured information on the audited site.

Evidence and accuracy

Source observations and factual claims, checked against the selected site evidence where verification is possible.

Findings and actions

Prioritized technical and content recommendations grounded in observed gaps, with limitations kept visible.

Unsupported does not mean contradicted. Unavailable citation evidence is not scored as zero.

What the sample findings change

Access alone did not establish visibility

All six modeled crawler identities returned HTTP 200. The technical layer was still PARTIAL, and AI visibility measured 18/100.

Executive summary, pages 1–2

Make source material easier to retrieve

The action brief records missing /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, and unsupported Markdown content negotiation. Proposed artifacts require validation in the actual framework and deployment.

Implementation brief, pages 2–3

Keep uncertainty in the conclusion

None of the seven decisive claims was supported by the selected evidence. Citation evidence remained UNMEASURED, and competitor surfacing was UNAVAILABLE.

Implementation brief, pages 4–5

A clear handoff for your team.

The agreed scope defines what you receive, from executive reporting to evidence and implementation starting points.

Executive reporting
Measured results, evidence quality, material limitations and priorities for decision-makers.
Raw evidence
Where included: prompts, observed responses, citations, source captures and provenance for reviewing the findings.
Technical findings
Documented retrieval and content gaps, with the observations and qualifications behind each recommendation.
Implementation artifacts
Where included: proposed files and configuration guidance. Starting points for technical review and deployment validation.

How the audit works

Observations stay attached to their context, so findings can be checked and revisited.

  1. Set the questions

    Agree on the website, audience and relevant branded, comparative and category queries.

  2. Collect observations

    Run the agreed evaluations and retain responses, execution outcomes and available source evidence.

  3. Review the evidence

    Assess technical conditions and claim support where measurable. Identify missing or partial evidence explicitly.

  4. Deliver priorities

    Connect supported findings to technical and content actions, with limitations and validation requirements.

AI answers can vary across models and runs. An audit describes its tested scope and captured observations; it does not guarantee future mentions, citations or rankings.
