Question 1

What is an AI visibility audit?

Accepted Answer

An AI visibility audit measures how often and how accurately AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews surface a business when real buyers ask for recommendations. RediForAI runs the actual queries a prospect would ask, records each AI response verbatim, and then scores whether the business was mentioned, how it was described, and which competitors showed up in its place.

Question 2

How is this different from a traditional SEO audit?

Accepted Answer

A traditional SEO audit looks at keywords, backlinks, and technical crawlability from a Google-ranking perspective. An AI visibility audit goes further — it actually asks the AI engines buyer-intent questions and measures the real-world outcome: Did the business appear? Was it described correctly? Who was recommended instead? RediForAI still checks the foundational SEO signals (our Tier 2 Supporting Signals), but the heart of the audit is live testing against the AI systems that are increasingly mediating buying decisions.

Question 3

Which AI engines does RediForAI actually query?

Accepted Answer

Every audit runs buyer-intent queries against five AI systems: ChatGPT (via OpenAI), Claude (via Anthropic), Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews (the AI-generated summaries that now appear at the top of most Google searches). Responses are captured verbatim so you can see exactly what each AI said, which businesses it mentioned, and how your client compares. These five systems cover how customers actually discover local businesses through AI today.

Question 4

Why do local businesses need AI visibility now?

Accepted Answer

Buyers increasingly start with an AI prompt — "best plumber in Vancouver WA," "top-rated CPA near me," "reliable dentist for kids." If an AI engine doesn't know the business or can't confidently describe it, the business never enters the consideration set, no matter how good its Google ranking is. AI visibility turns that risk into something you can measure and fix.

Question 5

What does the audit actually check?

Accepted Answer

RediForAI scores the website with four Tier 1 AI visibility modules: Live AI Query Testing (did AI mention the business?), Entity Recognition (does AI know who they are?), Competitive Share-of-Voice (who does AI recommend instead?), and AI-Readiness Content Check (are llms.txt, FAQ schema, author attribution, citable facts in place?). Three Tier 2 Supporting Signals round out the score: Technical Foundations, Trust & Authority, and Local Relevance. Every module and signal is scored 0–100 with evidence.

Question 6

How does scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Each of the four Tier 1 modules is scored 0–100 and contributes 70% of the final AI Visibility Score. The three Tier 2 supporting signals contribute the remaining 30%. The final 0–100 score is mapped to five bands: Invisible (0–25), Barely Detectable (26–50), Partially Visible (51–70), Well-Positioned (71–85), and AI-Preferred (86–100). Every score comes with the specific AI responses or on-page evidence that produced it.

Question 7

How long does an audit take?

Accepted Answer

Most audits complete in 60–120 seconds. The engine generates buyer-intent queries, hits the live AI providers, parses the responses, crawls the site, and computes each module score in real time. You see live progress updates as each step completes.

Question 8

What pages does the crawler check?

Accepted Answer

The audit always starts with the homepage and then discovers and crawls up to four priority subpages — /about, /services, /contact, /team, /blog and similar pages that contribute to identity, trust, and AI-readiness. The specific pages crawled and the signals found on each are cited as evidence in the report.

Question 9

Is the report white-labeled?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every PDF report is fully white-labeled with your agency's logo, brand colors, custom introduction text, and closing message. Your clients see your agency name throughout — RediForAI is invisible in the deliverable. You configure branding once in Settings and every report uses it.

Question 10

Does this help me propose implementation work to clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The audit shows the client exactly what is wrong, with verbatim AI evidence, and the 90-day roadmap lays out the specific fixes — quick wins, foundational work, and strategic initiatives. Agencies use it to start the conversation with hard evidence, then propose the work the client actually needs to get found by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Question 11

How do I manage multiple clients?

Accepted Answer

RediForAI includes a full client management dashboard. Add clients with their business name, website, and industry. Run audits per client, track history over time, and see portfolio-level analytics showing which modules are weakest across all your clients. Everything is organized by client with one-click access to past reports.

Question 12

Can I try a sample audit before subscribing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visit /sample-report to walk through a complete example audit — full four-module Tier 1 scoring, supporting signals, AI response excerpts, and the implementation roadmap. It's the exact format your agency would deliver to a client.

Question 13

What do the paid plans include?

Accepted Answer

Four tiers: Starter ($149/mo) includes 10 audits and 15 clients. Growth ($299/mo) includes 50 audits and 75 clients — most popular for scaling agencies. Agency ($599/mo) includes 150 audits and unlimited clients. Pro ($999/mo) includes 300 audits and unlimited clients. All tiers include the full five-AI audit (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), white-label PDF reports, and every platform feature. See /pricing for full details.

Question 14

Can I upgrade or downgrade at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can change your plan at any time from the Settings page. Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. No long-term contracts.

Question 15

What if I run out of audits before the next billing cycle?

Accepted Answer

You can purchase extra reports at $29 each, or upgrade to a higher tier at any time — the Agency and Pro tiers give you substantial volume room and a lower per-audit cost.
