Free SEO audit: see what the machines can read
The free audit runs five live checks on your website (AI crawler access, schema markup, llms.txt, platform, and page weight), the exact signals Google, Bing, and AI assistants read before deciding whether to mention you. It takes about a minute: no credit card, no sales call, results on screen.
What does the free SEO audit check?
Five machine-readability signals, scanned live from your site: whether AI crawlers are blocked, whether schema markup exists, whether you have an llms.txt file, what platform the site runs on, and how heavy the page is to crawl. One minute, no card, no sales call to unlock results.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| AI crawler access | If GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot are blocked, AI engines can never cite you |
| Schema markup | Structured data is how engines confirm your business facts |
| llms.txt | A machine-readable index that points AI tools at your key pages |
| Platform | Some site builders block or bloat what crawlers receive |
| Page weight & load | Heavy pages get crawled less and abandoned more |
Why does website readiness matter so much?
Because AI visibility is brutally selective. The SOCi 2026 Local Visibility Index (about 350,000 business locations analyzed) found ChatGPT recommends just 1.2% of local businesses, Perplexity 7.4%, and Gemini 11%. Readable, structured sites are the entry ticket to that shortlist.
The same study puts the contrast in one line: brands appeared in Google's local three-pack 35.9% of the time, making AI visibility three to thirty times harder to achieve than traditional local ranking. That gap is the opportunity (almost nobody in your market has done this work yet) and the risk, because the engines that recommend so few businesses cannot recommend one they cannot read. The scan above tells you in a minute whether you have already disqualified yourself on technicalities.
What happens after the scan?
You see your results immediately, on this page. If you leave your email, we send a plain-language read of what they mean for your business, written by a person, not a template. No drip campaign follows; you hear from us once, usefully.
From there the paths are simple: fix the findings yourself (the report tells you how), hand the technical items to our technical SEO service, or go deeper with the full paid audit that covers your listings, competitors, and AI visibility question by question. Whatever you choose, the pricing is already public.
What doesn't the free audit cover?
Anything that needs a human: your Google Business Profile setup, review strategy, content quality, competitor gaps, and what AI engines actually say when customers ask about businesses like yours. The free scan checks whether machines can read you; the full audit checks whether they choose you.
We are explicit about that line because free tools that pretend to be full audits are how this industry burns trust. The scan is genuinely useful (it catches disqualifying technical problems in a minute) and genuinely limited. The complete picture of what we run beyond it is on the services page.
