GEO Visibility Audit Intelligence

Audit whether a brand, website, or landing page is ready to be found, cited, and recommended by AI search systems.

This Apify Actor is designed for SEO freelancers, content agencies, SaaS founders, and local business marketers who are trying to understand why their brand is not showing up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, or other AI-assisted discovery flows.

What It Produces

• AI citation readiness score from 0-100
• Brand/entity clarity assessment
• Direct-answer block recommendations
• FAQ and answer-engine gap analysis
• Schema recommendations for Organization, SoftwareApplication, Product, FAQPage, HowTo, or LocalBusiness
• Competitor comparison prompts and content gaps
• Third-party trust surface checklist, including Reddit, G2, YouTube, directories, reviews, and comparison pages
• Buyer prompt set for future manual or automated AI visibility tracking
• Page-level fix list ordered by impact

Why People Pay

AI search visibility is harder to measure than classic rankings. Teams can rank on Google and still be absent from AI answers, while competitors get recommended through stronger entity signals, clearer content, and third-party mentions.

Most small teams do not need an enterprise GEO dashboard first. They need a quick, repeatable audit that tells them:

• whether their pages are understandable to AI systems,
• what questions their content should answer directly,
• which competitors are likely to be surfaced instead,
• what content or third-party proof is missing,
• what to fix this week.

Input

{
  "brandName": "Acme CRM",
  "website": "https://example.com",
  "category": "CRM for small agencies",
  "competitors": ["HubSpot", "Pipedrive", "Copper"],
  "buyerPrompts": [
    "best CRM for small marketing agencies",
    "HubSpot alternatives for agencies",
    "CRM with client reporting"
  ],
  "pageUrls": [
    "https://example.com/",
    "https://example.com/features",
    "https://example.com/pricing"
  ],
  "targetAudience": "small marketing agencies",
  "includeRewriteSuggestions": true
}

Output

Each audited page should produce:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/features",
  "brandName": "Acme CRM",
  "score": 78,
  "grade": "B",
  "entitySignals": {
    "status": "medium",
    "findings": ["Brand name appears clearly", "Category language is inconsistent"]
  },
  "answerReadiness": {
    "status": "needs_work",
    "missing": ["Direct answer paragraph", "FAQ section"]
  },
  "schemaRecommendations": ["SoftwareApplication", "FAQPage", "Organization"],
  "thirdPartyTrustGaps": ["No comparison page strategy", "No review/directory proof listed"],
  "recommendedPrompts": [
    "best CRM for small marketing agencies",
    "Acme CRM vs HubSpot for agencies"
  ],
  "fixes": [
    {
      "priority": "high",
      "action": "Add a 40-60 word direct answer near the top explaining who the product is for and when to choose it."
    }
  ]
}

The Actor should also write a batch summary to the key-value store under SUMMARY.

MVP Scope

V1 should not claim to measure real user prompts or guaranteed AI rankings. It should audit the assets that make AI visibility more likely:

• crawlable pages,
• clear entity and category language,
• direct answers,
• structured data,
• comparison coverage,
• FAQ coverage,
• third-party proof planning.

Prompt tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, or Google AI Overviews can be added later as an optional upgrade, preferably with user-provided API keys or manual result import.

Monetization Event

Planned pay-per-event charge:

geo-visibility-audit

Charge one event for every page or brand asset audit written to the dataset.

Pricing Direction

Suggested initial price:

• $0.03 per page or brand asset audit

Target later:

• $30-$75 / 1,000 audits
• higher price only if prompt tracking, competitor monitoring, or report export is added

Safety / Accuracy Notes

• Do not guarantee rankings, citations, traffic, or revenue.
• Explain that AI answer systems vary by prompt, time, location, and personalization.
• Treat Reddit and third-party communities as trust surfaces, not spam targets.
• Recommend genuine participation and useful proof, not manipulative posting.
• Keep output as an audit and action plan, not legal, financial, or guaranteed marketing advice.
