AI Search Visibility Audit
Find out what AI tools say about your business, and why.
An AI search visibility audit checks how AI tools describe your business for questions your buyers ask, finds the sources of wrong or missing information and lists what to fix. Tangensys offers a free review and a detailed written audit.

What does an AI visibility audit include?

Practical detail
A finding that names the source and action
An illustrative finding is an AI answer describing a discontinued service. The audit needs to identify the observed answer, the conflicting source and the corrective owner.
| Part of the work | Example output | How to review it |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence | Question, platform, date, answer and cited URL | Keep the original observation, including unfavourable outcomes. |
| Priority/action | Replace obsolete service information in the approved source | Name the content owner and any external correction dependency. |
| Validation | Review publication/access and repeat the defined observation | A corrected source does not guarantee an immediate corrected answer. |
Illustrative method, not a client result. The agreed brief identifies the question set, source owners and work included.
Audit a defined question set, not the entire internet
An AI visibility audit needs a boundary: relevant questions, named experiences, market context and dates. Without it, a few selected screenshots can create a misleading impression. Keep unfavourable or absent observations in the record.
The free initial review and a detailed audit differ in scope. A comprehensive deliverable can document answer observations, factual errors, source gaps and prioritised actions. It should explain what could not be confirmed rather than manufacture a complete visibility score.
Sign-off is a usable evidence record and action plan, not more mentions after delivery. Implementation and later monitoring are separate work where agreed. Repeated checks can vary, so interpret changes with the method and source updates visible.

Actionable handover
Enough detail to implement. Ongoing tracking only applies if separately agreed.
What should an AI audit report show behind its score?
The actual questions, answers, tools or interfaces, dates and counting rules. Where citations exist, include the source URLs. A summary without those observations is difficult to verify and should not be treated as a reliable market-share measure.
What evidence will the review retain?
The agreed questions, source pages, observations and completed actions are recorded. Missing or unfavourable findings are not excluded from the method.
Is the AI visibility audit free?
The initial review is free. The detailed written audit is quoted separately.
Which AI tools do you check?
We agree a set, typically Google AI features, ChatGPT, Perplexity and others relevant to you.
How long does the audit take?
The free review is part of the quote process; the detailed audit’s turnaround is stated in the quote.
Will you fix the issues?
If you wish; implementation is quoted separately.
What do you need to get started?
Your website, main services, target customers and markets. During onboarding we agree access to your website, Search Console and analytics.
