How to Own Answer-Engine Position-Zero
AI Visibility Audit — How to Own Answer-Engine Position-Zero
Know exactly why AI ignores you—and how to fix it.
I’m Shaun Wilson...This AI Visibility Audit shows exactly why ChatGPT, Google-SGE, Bing Chat, and Perplexity skip your site—and how to fix that in 90 days.
Why an AI Visibility Audit Beats a “Normal” SEO Audit
Pain Point |
What Hurts |
How the Audit Helps |
Low or zero AI citations | Your answers never appear in generative snapshots; clicks go elsewhere. |
We check SGE, Bing Chat, Perplexity & ChatGPT browsing to document where (and why) you’re absent. |
Unstructured content | Thin headings, no FAQ schema = AI can’t parse you. | We deliver a page-by-page structure & schema plan. |
Weak authority | Bigger brands hog citations & backlinks. |
You get a gap report + link-earning playbook to shift trust signals in your favor. |
