How it works
What a GEO audit should include
A useful GEO audit includes prompt selection, answer collection, client mention classification, competitor analysis, source review, content readiness, schema review, citation gaps, and prioritized recommendations.
Use snapshots to open conversations
A lightweight audit can show a prospect that competitors are already appearing in AI answers. That creates urgency for a deeper audit or monthly visibility monitoring package.
Check content and schema readiness
Generative engines need extractable answers, structured facts, consistent entity data, and reliable sources. A GEO audit should identify whether pages and schema support those needs.
Audit the proof layer
If AI systems rely on reviews, local profiles, directories, GBP data, or third-party references, the audit should show where the client is strong, weak, inconsistent, or missing.
Make the audit actionable
The final GEO audit should give clients a clear answer: where they appear, where competitors win, why the source layer matters, and what the agency will fix first.
