An AI visibility audit
that measures six things

Most things sold as an "AI audit" check one thing — whether AI crawlers are allowed — and stop. That is a prerequisite, not an audit: passing it means a system can read you, and says nothing about whether it will use you. An OG01 audit measures six separable things: visibility, authority, citation, readiness, risk and commercial consequence, with access treated as the precondition it is. The free reading covers all of them at summary depth in about ninety seconds.

Scope

Six things that are routinely collapsed into one

These get used interchangeably in sales conversations and they are not the same measurement. Separating them is most of the value, because a business failing on one of them needs completely different work from a business failing on another.

  • Visibility — whether you appear at all when the questions your customers ask are put to assistants and search. The outcome measure, and the only one that is directly observed rather than inferred.
  • Authority — whether anything other than you supports what you claim. Self-published assertions are the cheapest signal available and are weighted accordingly.
  • Citation — whether your pages are usable as a source: a specific claim, stated plainly, attributable to an identifiable organisation. Appearing and being quotable are different properties.
  • Readiness — whether your pages can be fetched, parsed and lifted from. Where substance is assembled after load, the retrievable version of your site is not the one you see.
  • Risk — what inaccurate, stale or contradictory information about you is already circulating. The dimension businesses are most surprised by, because nothing on their own site is wrong.
  • Commercial consequence — which of the above is actually costing you, so the roadmap can be ordered by impact rather than by ease.
The boundary

Crawler access is a prerequisite, and it is not our service

Where access fits
If a reading cannot fetch your pages, it returns Not Rated rather than a low score. Available off-site findings may still be reported. A refusal encountered by OG01 does not establish whether AI assistants are blocked. Read the explanation and linked FAQ to decide whether to retry or seek help.
What OG01 does not do is forensic access investigation: firewall rule tracing, CDN and edge analysis, robots.txt forensics. That is a different discipline, it is not sold here, and no page on this site offers it. Being clear about that is more useful than quietly implying a capability, because the businesses who need it deserve to be told they need someone else.

The practical version: an audit that ends at "your robots.txt is fine" has told you almost nothing. Most domains pass that check and still cannot be named confidently, because the problems are entity ambiguity, uncorroborated claims and unquotable content — none of which a crawler-access checker can see.

Depth

Free at summary depth, paid with the evidence attached

The free audit returns an Authority Rating from 0 to 100, a reading on each intelligence area, and the highest-priority actions. It is a real measurement rather than a teaser, and for a good number of businesses it is enough — particularly when the finding is a single structural problem.

The Full Intelligence Report at $399 opens every dimension with the measured signals behind it, adds the competitor authority gap, the prompts used to test how assistants describe you, and implementation detail per finding. That is the version you can hand to a developer or an agency.

Afterwards

An audit that does not end in a plan is a document

Findings arrive ordered by impact, which makes the order the plan. From there you either take the specification to your own team or hand the work over, and in both cases the second reading matters more than the first: the same measurement, run again once the changes have been recrawled, so the difference is attributable rather than asserted.

Questions

Audit questions

Is this a check that AI crawlers can reach my site?
That is one prerequisite inside it, not the product. Clearing access means a system can read you; it says nothing about whether your business resolves clearly, whether your claims are corroborated, whether your pages can be quoted, or what inaccurate information about you is circulating. Those are the parts that decide whether you are named.
Do you investigate why our firewall is blocking crawlers?
No. If a reading is blocked, the report describes the evidence available for that request. It does not establish the cause without investigation. Read the Not Rated FAQ for retries and support. Forensic access work — firewall rule tracing, CDN and edge analysis — is a separate discipline and not a service OG01 provides.
How long does an audit take?
The free reading returns in about ninety seconds. Deeper comparative sections are assembled after the initial result and appear as they complete. Nothing requires access to your analytics, your content system or your hosting, because everything measured is observable from outside.
Can I audit a competitor?
Yes, on any public domain, since the measurement uses only publicly observable information. The competitor authority gap in a full reading does exactly that, measuring the businesses you are compared against on the same scale so the difference is a distance rather than an impression.
What if the audit finds nothing much wrong?
Then it says so, and you have spent nothing to find out. A measurement that could only ever return bad news would not be a measurement — and a reading that manufactures problems to justify remediation would fail its own second run, since rescoring uses the identical method.
How often should we re-audit?
After remediation, to see what moved, and then whenever something material changes — a rebrand, a rebuild, a new location, a platform migration. Re-running it on a calendar while nothing about the business has altered will mostly report drift in the world rather than progress in your work.
Six dimensions, ninety seconds, no card.

If the audit shows a gap worth acting on, the full reading turns it into an ordered plan with the evidence attached.
