AI SEO AUDIT
SEO Audit Services: Every Fix Ranked by What It's Worth
Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit is agentic SEO: a five-business-day SEO audit of your Google rankings and AI answers. Our AI agents read your Search Console and GA4 and check the rivals ranking above you. Then we rank every fix by value.

TLDR
What is the AI SEO Audit?
Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit puts a value on every fix and ends in a plan you can ship. It takes five business days and runs on agentic SEO. Our AI agents plug into your Search Console and GA4. They check competitors' sites, the Google results and what AI answers say about you. We credit the audit to the build or first month when you start within 14 days. If you go ahead, the Managed Search Loop ships the plan weekly on your Agentic Website and through our Off-Page Source Layer.
Agentic Website
The Agentic Website is the owned search foundation we can keep improving. It is wired into Search Console, analytics, live rankings, search results and competitor evidence, so Searchmaxxed can see what changed, build the next page family, repair technical faults and deploy measured improvements every week.
Managed Search Loop
The Managed Search Loop is the operating cycle behind the work. It reads live evidence, ranks the next commercial opportunity, turns that decision into a weekly release, verifies the deployment and measures the result. Each release gives the next one better evidence, so the program keeps moving toward demand and revenue.
Off-Page Source Layer
The Off-Page Source Layer maps how the business appears beyond its own website, then builds the external proof that corroborates it. Links, reviews, citations, editorial coverage, brand mentions and community sources help Google and AI systems connect the entity, trust the claims and recommend the business.
THE PROBLEM
Why do so many SEO audits never get shipped?
A tool audit ranks issues by how severe they are. Semrush's SEO Checker, for example, sets its priorities by severity. Severity tells you how broken something is. It can't tell you what fixing it earns. A severity score can rank a broken tag on a page nobody visits above a missing page your buyers search for every day. So the list sits in a tab, and nothing on the site changes.
THE DISCIPLINES
What should an SEO audit include?
A website SEO audit should cover four things: your Google rankings, your AI answers, your site's technical health and the sources outside your site. Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit covers all four and ties every fault to the searches it costs you.
Where buyers search without finding you
The searches that bring customers, and who wins them today.
We map the searches that end in a sale for your business. Our agents read the Google results and scrape the pages that win them. You see your rank, your competitors' ranks and where buyers pass you by. Every gap points to the SEO work that would close it.
Money-search mapRank baselineCompetitor pagesGap sizing
What ChatGPT and AI Overviews say about you
Who the answer engines name for your buyers' questions.
We put your buyers' questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. We note who they name and which sources they lean on. Google says a page must be indexed and snippet-eligible to appear as a link in AI Overviews or AI Mode. Our AEO and GEO work starts from this map.
AI answer baselineNamed competitorsCited sourcesSnippet eligibility
What the site is doing to itself
Faults that stop Google from reading or ranking your pages.
Our agents crawl the site and read it page by page. They find crawl blocks, index faults, pages competing for one search and thin buying pages. Google names crawl access and internal links as basics for its AI features too. Each fault leads to a technical SEO or content strategy fix.

What the rest of the web says about you
The profiles, reviews, links and mentions that back up your facts.
Google and the AI answers both lean on sources beyond your site. We audit your business profiles, reviews, citations, links and mentions. We check that your name, services and locations agree everywhere. The gaps feed our Off-Page Source Layer and link building plans.

WHAT YOU GET
What does Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit deliver?
Our Queensland team runs the AI SEO Audit for businesses across Australia. It takes five business days. You get one document in four parts, walked through live.
A map of where buyers miss you
Every search that should bring you customers, with your Google rank and AI answer presence beside it. You see which competitor takes each search and which page type wins it.
Money searchesYour rank and AI mentionsCompetitor winnersWinning page types
A read on what the site does to itself
The technical, content and structure faults that hold your pages back. We tie each fault to the searches it touches. A fault on a page with no demand drops down the list, and a fault on a money page moves up.
Index and crawl faultsCompeting pagesMissing buying pagesSchema gaps
Every fix ranked by what it's worth
Each finding becomes a job with a size. We rank the jobs the way the Managed Search Loop does: closeness to revenue, evidence, expected value, delivery cost and release risk. Quick wins get a flag.

The plan, in ship order
The fixes become a plan in the order to ship them. Each job names the page, the change and who does it. Your team can run it, or we can run it for you.

HOW IT WORKS
How does the AI SEO Audit run?
The AI SEO Audit runs on the same agentic SEO we use every week. Our AI agents plug into your Search Console and GA4. They read the Google results, scrape competitor pages and check what AI answers say about you. People from our team then rank every fix by what it's worth. If you go ahead, the Managed Search Loop ships the plan on your Agentic Website and through our Off-Page Source Layer.
- STEP 01
A thirty-minute call
You talk to the people who'd run the work, with no salesperson in between. If you share Search Console and your rankings, we open them live and tell you what we see. If search isn't your biggest problem right now, we'll say so. Book it on the audit page. - STEP 02
Connect the data and read the market
Our agents plug into your Search Console and GA4. They read the Google results for your money searches and scrape the competitor pages that win them. They also check what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews say about you. - STEP 03
Diagnose and rank every fix
We find the constraint behind each pattern: a missing buying page, an access fault, a weak internal-link path or missing outside support. Then we rank every fix by what it's worth. - STEP 04
Walk through the plan
Within five business days, we walk you through the plan live. Run it yourself if you like. Start with us within 14 days, and the audit is credited to the build or first month. From there, the Managed Search Loop ships it on your Agentic Website.

FAQ
SEO audit questions
How does Searchmaxxed's agentic SEO work?
+
We build AI agents that plug into your whole Search Console and GA4. Every week they scrape your competitors' sites, read the Google results and check what AI answers say about you. That data feeds our Managed Search Loop, which checks it against your plan and picks the next best job. We build the on-page assets on your Agentic Website, which lives on GitHub and Vercel and which you own. We build the off-page assets through our Off-Page Source Layer: links, reviews, citations, press and mentions. A person checks every change before it goes live. Then the agents measure what it did, and the loop picks the next job.
Can ChatGPT do an SEO audit?
+
Partly. An AI model can check pages and spot faults, and our AI SEO Audit uses AI agents for that work. The agents plug into your Search Console and GA4, so the audit starts from your own search data. They also read the Google results and check what AI answers say about you. People from our team then rank the fixes and walk you through the plan.
How much does an SEO audit cost?
+
A basic tool scan can cost nothing. Semrush's SEO Checker and SEOptimer both offer a free check. Searchmaxxed quotes the AI SEO Audit after we look at your site, market and goals. It's credited to the build or first month when you start within 14 days. You can compare what each package includes on our pricing page. Let's talk pricing.
What is the difference between a GEO audit and an SEO audit?
+
An SEO audit checks how your pages rank in Google, while a GEO audit checks whether AI answers name and cite you. The two overlap. Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode add no technical requirements beyond being indexed and eligible for a snippet. A page can still rank first and miss the answer above it. Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit checks both, and our GEO service and Off-Page Source Layer work on the answer side.
How often should an SEO audit be performed?
+
AIOSEO advises a monthly audit for most sites, and weekly audits for large or fast-growing ones. Google also suggests auditing any traffic drop to see which pages and searches it hit. In our managed packages, audits and diagnostics run all the time. The Managed Search Loop reads the evidence every week and picks the next job.
How long does an SEO audit take?
+
Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit takes five business days. It starts with a thirty-minute call and ends with a live walkthrough of the plan. In between, our agents run the checks and we rank every fix by what it's worth.
Can I do an SEO audit myself?
+
Yes. Free checkers such as Semrush's find technical and on-page faults, and Google publishes a self-assessment list for content quality. Our own free tools need no account, trial or credit card. A self-audit often skips the value of each fix. Rank every fault by the searches it costs you before you fix anything.
What access do you need for the audit?
+
Read access to Search Console and GA4 gives us your real search data, because our agents plug into both. On the first call, we open Search Console and your rankings live if you're happy to share them.
Can our team ship the plan without you?
+
Yes. You can run SEO and AI work in-house without a retainer, and the plan lists each job in ship order. If you'd rather we run it, we build the pages and fixes on your Agentic Website. Our retainer pays the team to operate the agreed work for you. You own the site, repository, content and data from day one.
Who does the work after the audit?
+
The people you meet on the call do the work, with no account managers in between. Brenden House sets the direction and reads the weekly evidence. He writes the money pages and approves everything that ships. AI agents help with the research and analysis. Across our client book, our work has generated more than $10 million in revenue through search.
Who is the AI SEO Audit not for?
+
It's a poor fit for three kinds of buyer. Businesses that need leads this month to survive should use paid search, because search doesn't work on that timeline. Committees that take weeks to approve a page will struggle, because the model depends on shipping weekly. Anyone shopping purely for the cheapest retainer won't find it here.
