TLDR
What is the AI SEO Audit?
Searchmaxxed's AI SEO Audit puts a value on every fix and ends in a plan that goes after revenue first. In five business days it covers technical SEO, on-page SEO, local SEO, GEO and AEO. We study 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, we build the plan for you: pages, technical fixes, links and reviews.
Technical SEO and on-page SEO
With technical SEO and on-page SEO, we fix whatever stops Google and the AI engines reading your site, then build the comparison, industry and integration pages your buyers are already searching for. It all sits on a website you own, connected to Search Console and GA4, so you can see which pages bring in enquiries.
AI SEO, GEO and AEO
Through AI SEO, GEO and AEO, we make your pages and the facts about your company the ones ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers quote. We keep checking what those answers say about you, and fix whatever keeps your name out.
Link building, reviews and citations
Through link building and digital PR, we earn the links, reviews, citations, press and mentions that back up your pages on other sites. Google ranks pages with that backing, and AI answers recommend companies that other sources agree on.
THE PROBLEM
Why do so many SEO audits never change anything?
Most tool audits rank issues by how severe they are. Semrush's SEO Checker, for example, sets its priorities by severity. Severity tells you how broken something is, but it can't tell you what fixing it earns. So a broken tag on a page nobody visits can outrank a missing page your buyers search for every day. The list sits in a tab, your team debates where to start, and nothing on the site changes.
THE DISCIPLINES
What should an SEO audit include?
A website SEO audit should cover four things. Those are your Google rankings, what AI tools say about you, your site's technical health and the sources outside your site. Ours 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 company, read the Google results and study the pages that win them. You see your rank, your competitors' ranks and where buyers pass you by. Every gap points to the 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, then 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. This map is where our AEO and GEO work starts.
AI answer baselineNamed competitorsCited sourcesSnippet eligibility
What the site is doing to itself
Faults that stop Google from reading or ranking your pages.
We crawl the site and read it page by page. We 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 comes with the fix that clears it.

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 company profiles, reviews, citations, links and mentions, and check that your name, services and locations agree everywhere. The gaps become your off-page plan.

We run the AI SEO Audit for companies in Australia and the US. In five business days you get one document in four parts, and we walk you through it live.
A map of where buyers miss you
Every search that should bring you customers, with your Google rank and your place in AI answers beside it. You see which competitor takes each search and which kind of page wins it.

A read on what the site does to itself
The technical, content and structure faults that hold your pages back, each tied to the searches it touches. A fault on a page with no demand drops down the list. A fault on a money page moves to the top.

Every fix ranked by what it's worth
Each finding becomes a job with a size. We rank the jobs the way our own team does, by closeness to revenue, strength of evidence, expected value, cost and risk. Quick wins get a flag.

HOW IT WORKS
How does the AI SEO Audit run?
Every person on our team works with AI agents, which is how we cover this much ground in five business days. We connect your Search Console and GA4 and read the Google results for your money searches. We also study competitor pages and what AI answers say about you. Then our people rank every fix by what it's worth. If you go ahead, we put the plan live on your site and win the outside sources it needs.
- 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. - STEP 02
Connect the data and read the market
We connect your Search Console and GA4, then read the Google results for your money searches and study the competitor pages that win them. We also check what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews say about you. - STEP 03
Diagnose and rank every fix
We find the cause 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 to you. - 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 we credit the audit to the build or first month, then put the plan live for you.

FAQ
SEO audit questions
How does Searchmaxxed do SEO and AI SEO?
+
We start from your data and build on a website you own. Every person on our team works with AI agents, so we can go deep on your Search Console, GA4 and competitors' sites. We also read the Google results and what AI answers say about you. That shows what to build next: technical fixes, new pages, schema and internal links. Off the site we earn links, reviews, citations, press and mentions. You see every change and what it moved.
Can ChatGPT do an SEO audit?
+
Partly. An AI model can check pages and spot faults, and every person on our team works with AI agents for that part. Our audit starts from your own Search Console and GA4 data, the live Google results and what AI answers say about you. Then our people 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. We quote the AI SEO Audit after we look at your site, market and goals. We credit it to the build or first month when you start within 14 days, and our pricing page shows what each package includes. Start with a free growth plan.
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. Even so, a page can rank first and still miss the answer above it. Our AI SEO Audit checks both.
How often should an SEO audit be performed?
+
For most sites, once a month. AIOSEO advises a monthly audit for most sites and more frequent 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, so we choose what to build next from fresh evidence.
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, we run the checks and 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. What a self-audit tends to skip is the value of each fix. So 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, so we work from your real search data. On the first call, we open Search Console and your rankings live if you're happy to share them.
Can our team run the plan without you?
+
Yes. You can run SEO and AI work in-house without a retainer, and the plan lists each job in order of value. If you'd rather we run it, we build the pages and fixes on your website. Our retainer pays the team to do 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, with no account managers in between. Brenden House sets the direction on every account and reads your results. Every person on the team works with AI agents for research and analysis. Searchmaxxed's work has generated more than $15 million in revenue through search for its clients.
Who is the AI SEO Audit not for?
+
It's a poor fit for three kinds of buyer. If search alone has to fill this month's pipeline, pair it with paid search while search builds. If you want advice with no changes to your site, you'll get less from it. The results come from changing the site. And if you're shopping for the cheapest retainer, we're the wrong call.
