We open your Search Console and rankings live if you are happy to share them, and tell you what we see. If the honest answer is that search is not your biggest problem right now, you will hear that instead of a proposal. There is no deck. Nobody follows up seven times. That conversation is free, and it is where most people should start: send your website, the market you want to own and how to reach you through the contact page, and we will tell you within one call whether the audit is even the right next step. ## Who this is not for Businesses that need leads this month to survive, because search does not work on that timeline and paid will serve you better. And anyone shopping purely for the cheapest retainer, because that is not this. ## What you get in writing Four parts, delivered as one document and walked through live rather than emailed and forgotten. VISIBILITY ### Where buyers search without finding you Your rankings, your map positions across the service area, and what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews answer for the searches that end in revenue in your market. PROFILE ### The Google profile, read line by line Categories, services, service areas, hours, photos, posts and your review corpus, checked against the businesses holding the top 3 in front of you. COMPETITORS ### The businesses holding your slots Who owns the top 3 today, the pages and sources behind them, and the distance between their position and yours. PLAN ### Every fix ranked, plus a 30-minute walkthrough What to fix first, what it affects, and the size of the opportunity behind each move. The plan is yours to keep and run, with us or without us. ## Start with a free growth plan We'll recommend the right scope and quote for your business. The audit takes five business days once we have access to your Search Console, analytics and website, covering your market, your map, your site and the AI [answer engines](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/services/aeo) your buyers use. Start any program within 14 days of the walkthrough and the audit fee comes off your first month. Start Local Search and the audit is included. Take the plan in-house instead, and it is still yours. ## How the audit runs, day by day DAY 1 ### Access and the baseline Search Console, analytics and rank tracking connected. We pull the real search demand behind your market rather than guessing at keywords. DAYS 2-3 ### The Google, map and AI answer read Every money search checked against your rankings, your map positions, your competitors' positions, and what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews say when a buyer asks. DAY 4 ### The profile read and the plan Your Google profile checked line by line against the top 3, then every finding priced by commercial impact and sequenced into a plan. DAY 5 ### The walkthrough A 30-minute session where the plan is explained, challenged and handed over, whether or not you go on to run it with us. FAQ ## Audit questions, answered. ### What is the audit and is it credited? + − The AI SEO Audit is a five-business-day review of where you stand, and yes, the fee is credited if you start a program within 14 days. It maps the searches where buyers look without finding you, checks where you rank on Google and Maps, and records what the AI engines say when a buyer asks. We quote it for your business, and it's included when you join Local Search. ### How much does an SEO audit cost? + − We quote the audit for your website and market before any work starts. It takes five business days, it's included when you join Local Search, and the fee is credited if you start a program with us within 14 days. ### Which tool is best for an SEO audit? + − No single tool does it. Screaming Frog handles the crawl, Search Console shows what Google actually thinks, GA4 shows what converts, and DataForSEO adds market and search-results context. None of them ranks the findings by commercial value, and that's the part that decides whether an audit is worth anything. That judgement is what you're paying for. ### Can ChatGPT do an SEO audit? + − Partly. It can read a crawl export and summarise it, which is genuinely useful. But it can't see your Search Console data unless you hand it over, can't know which pages carry revenue, and will confidently rank a missing alt attribute alongside a money page that's blocked from Google. Use it to speed up the reading, not to set the priorities. ### Can our team run the plan without you? + − Yes, and that's a fine outcome. The audit is a ranked plan with the specific fixes and the reasoning behind each, written to hand straight to a developer or a marketer. Plenty of teams take it in-house. If you'd rather we did the work, start a program within 14 days and the audit fee is credited. ### Who does the work? + − The people you meet on the call, each running a crew of AI agents tuned to getting you found and chosen. There's no account manager passing messages to a junior, and no handoffs. The team building your results knows your business, your buyers and your north star. ## Send us your website and the market you want to own. Three questions on the contact page, then a call. We will tell you honestly whether the audit is the right next step or whether search is not your problem yet.
