The problem

Potential clients may be asking AI before they reach your website

A growing number of people use AI tools and search engines to find local service recommendations. If competing firms appear more often in those answers, your firm may be less visible before a prospective client ever visits your website.

Your firm may be absent from AI answers

AI-generated answers often surface a small set of firms. If your firm is not in that set, prospective clients may not encounter your name - regardless of your qualifications or reputation.

Competing firms may appear repeatedly

The same competing firms often surface across multiple prompts and platforms. Repeated visibility builds familiarity and trust with potential clients before they take any action.

AI answers vary by service intent

A search for "work permit lawyer Toronto" and "family sponsorship lawyer Toronto" may return completely different firms. Visibility gaps at the service level matter as much as overall brand awareness.

What we audit

Seven dimensions of AI visibility

Each audit examines specific visibility signals - not vanity metrics. You see exactly where your firm stands and what to address first.

01

AI prompt visibility

We test buyer-intent prompts across multiple AI platforms and record whether your firm is mentioned, absent, or partially cited in each response.

02

Competitor mentions

We track which competitors appear in the same answers as your services - and how consistently they surface across different prompts and platforms.

03

Service-specific visibility

Visibility varies by service type. We test specific practice areas so you understand where gaps are largest and most actionable for your firm.

04

Source and citation patterns

AI answers often cite specific sources. We identify which types of content and websites appear in AI-generated answers for your service area.

05

Website content gaps

We identify service pages, topical coverage, and structural gaps that may reduce the likelihood of your firm appearing in AI-generated answers.

06

Trust and authority signals

We review visible trust signals - directory listings, mentions, and publications - that may support or limit your firm's presence in AI-sourced answers.

07

30-day action plan

The audit closes with a prioritised list of practical actions - content to create, gaps to address, and signals to strengthen over the next 30 days.

How it works

Four steps. One clear snapshot.

A structured process designed so any business owner can understand what was tested, what was found, and what to do next - no technical background required.

Define buyer-intent prompts

We build a set of realistic prompts based on how prospective clients search for services like yours - by service type, location, and intent.

Test multiple AI platforms

We run the prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI-style answers where accessible - capturing structured, comparable results.

Record and compare results

We document mentions, absences, partial citations, repeated competitors, and sources - producing a clear picture of your current AI visibility.

Deliver snapshot and action plan

You receive a clear report showing what was found, where gaps exist, which competitors appeared, and what practical steps to consider in the next 30 days.

Sample report

This is what you receive

A structured, readable report - not a spreadsheet or raw data export. The sample below uses entirely generic placeholder data.

Why this is different

Not generic SEO. AI-specific visibility.

Traditional SEO tools track search rankings. This audit focuses on a different layer - what AI systems actually say about your firm when clients ask them directly.

Focused on AI-style answer visibility

We test what AI tools actually say - not what ranks in traditional blue-link results. These are different surfaces with different signals.

Competitor mentions are shown explicitly

We record which competitors appeared in which answers - giving you a clear picture of where you stand relative to firms clients may see first.

Prompts mirror real service intent

We use phrases like "work permit lawyer Toronto" - how clients actually ask - not broad keyword terms. This reveals gaps that general tools do not surface.

Practical, honest recommendations

Every report closes with actionable steps. We do not promise to manipulate AI systems or guarantee any rankings - we explain what we found and what you can address.

Transparent testing, no black-box claims

The audit is a snapshot of observable patterns. We do not claim access to AI training or proprietary ranking mechanisms - we test what users actually see.

Structured, readable output

The report is designed for a business owner or firm partner - not a technical analyst. Clear tables, clear findings, clear next steps.

Methodology

How we conduct the audit

Our process is transparent, reproducible, and honest about what it can and cannot measure.

We test fixed, buyer-intent prompts - the same phrases each time - so results are comparable and not cherry-picked.

We compare your firm against visible competitors across multiple AI platforms and record what each platform returns.

We record whether your firm is mentioned, absent, partially mentioned, or cited - and note the context of each mention.

We identify repeated competitors and practical content or trust gaps that may explain visibility differences.

We do not claim official ranking metrics, insider platform access, or guaranteed search placement. Our findings are based on observable, testable outputs only.
