The 72 checks

Ten pillars. Weighted. Nothing vague.

Our rubric started as 470 auditable factors from the 2026 AEO and GEO body of work, consolidated into 72 checks across 10 pillars. Each pillar carries a weight out of 100, so the score reflects what actually decides whether an engine names you, not a flat checklist.

1

AI answer-engine presence and mentions

Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini actually cite you for your buyers' questions, how often, how prominently, and how that compares with 3 competitors.

16 of 100 points7 checks
Brand citation rate · share of voice · AI Overviews citations · answer-gap content
2

Content answerability and quotability

Does each key page state the answer in its first lines, in a passage an engine can lift? Question-style headings, real lists and tables, FAQ blocks, depth, freshness.

14 of 100 points10 checks
Answer-first structure · extractable passages · comparison tables · FAQ and HowTo blocks
3

AI crawlability and access

Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and CCBot are allowed in, and whether they can actually fetch your pages past the CDN. Plus indexing, rendering without JavaScript, sitemap.

12 of 100 points7 checks
AI user-agent policy · live bot fetch test · JS-free rendering · index coverage
4

Technical SEO and performance

Core Web Vitals in the field (LCP, INP, CLS), load time and image formats, mobile usability, HTTPS, canonicals, redirects and duplicate control.

10 of 100 points8 checks
Core Web Vitals · asset optimization · canonicals · redirect chains
5

Structured data and schema

Valid JSON-LD on the pages that matter: Organization or LocalBusiness, Service or Product, FAQPage, HowTo, and whether the values match what is visible on the page.

9 of 100 points5 checks
Valid JSON-LD · entity schema · FAQ and HowTo schema · schema matches content
6

Entities and brand knowledge

Whether the engines know you as one clear entity: knowledge panel, number one for your own name, identical name-address-phone everywhere, Google Business Profile, map pack, topic clusters.

9 of 100 points8 checks
Knowledge panel · consistent NAP · Google Business Profile · topical authority
7

E-E-A-T and trust

Experience, expertise, authority and trust signals the engines look for: bylined authors with bios, sourced claims, case studies and reviews, contact details, a clean security record.

9 of 100 points8 checks
Author bios · sourced claims · proof and reviews · trust pages
8

On-page SEO

The fundamentals the engines still lean on: unique titles and descriptions, one true H1, a logical heading hierarchy, clean URLs, internal links with descriptive anchors, alt text.

9 of 100 points8 checks
Titles and descriptions · heading hierarchy · internal linking · alt text

Authority and off-page

Referring domains and their relevance, references from the sources AI trusts (Reddit, YouTube, news, communities), linkable assets, anchor distribution, toxic-link hygiene.

7 of 100 points6 checks
Backlink quality · AI-trusted references · linkable assets · link velocity

Measurement and monitoring

Search Console and GA4 set up and watched, rank tracking with baselines, and a recurring check of whether the brand is cited in AI answers so the score means something month to month.

How the audit is run

Measured, not eyeballed.

Every score is reproducible. Same prompts, same anchors, same weights, so a re-audit shows real movement instead of a different opinion.

1. Live prompt tests on four engines

We write 5 to 8 questions your buyers actually ask, including the commercial ones ("best X in [city]", "X vs Y", "is [brand] legit"), and run each one live on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude, several times, from clean sessions.

  • Every business named, in order, with what was said about it
  • You against 3 named competitors: a share-of-voice matrix
  • Prompts are stored so the re-audit tests the identical set

2. Evidence, not opinion

Each of the 72 checks gets one observed fact: a count, a URL, a measured value. If something cannot be measured, it is marked not applicable with the reason. We never invent a number.

  • On-site: full crawl, robots and llms.txt, schema parsed and validated
  • Search and authority: live SERPs, backlink profile, Lighthouse field data
  • AI presence: mention tracking across engines plus the live prompt tests
  • Owned data: Search Console and GA4, when you connect them

3. The bot fetch test most audits skip

A robots.txt that allows GPTBot means nothing if the CDN blocks it. We fetch your key pages as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot and compare them with a normal browser fetch. Cloudflare's default AI-crawler block, firewall rules and bot-management plugins all show up here, and they are the single most common reason a good site is invisible.

4. Scored, weighted, ranked

Each check scores 0 to 100 against fixed anchor bands. A pillar is the weighted average of its checks. The overall score is the weighted average of the pillars, graded A to F. Fixes are ranked by how much weighted ground each one is losing, so the first item on your list is always the one worth the most.

  • Grades: A 90+, B 80+, C 70+, D 60+, F below 60
  • Priority = weight × (100 − score)
  • Re-audits report the delta per check, per pillar, overall

The shift

AI is the front door now.

Search did not disappear. It moved into a single answer most people never scroll past. If that answer does not name you, the click never happens.

Who is the best custom home builder near me?

Asked to ChatGPT, not typed into Google. One or two names come back. The rest are invisible.

Compare the top three options and tell me which to pick.

Perplexity reads your site, your competitors' sites and every review it can find, then decides who to cite.

Book it for me.

AI agents are starting to browse and buy on a person's behalf. If your site is not readable, they move on.

Who it is for

Three kinds of business. One question they all get asked.

The method is the same. What changes is which questions your buyers ask, and which engines they ask them in.

Local service

Trades, clinics, builders, brokers, studios. Your buyer asks "who is the best near me" and takes one of the two names that come back.

  • Service-area and neighbourhood coverage
  • Google Business Profile tied to your site
  • Reviews the engines can read and quote
Example prompt: "Physio in Mississauga that takes new patients this week"

Ecommerce and DTC

Shops and product brands. Your buyer asks for a comparison, and increasingly lets an agent do the shopping.

  • Product data agents can compare on
  • Category and buying-guide content
  • Checkout an agent can complete
Example prompt: "Compare Canadian packaging suppliers with low minimums"

B2B and national

Firms, SaaS, manufacturers. Your buyer researches for weeks and asks the engines to shortlist.

  • Entity and expertise signals
  • Answer pages for every stage of the decision
  • Share-of-answer tracked by region
Example prompt: "Which CPA firms in the GTA specialize in medical practices?"
Agent readiness, in detail

Agents do not see your site. They read it.

An AI agent never looks at your screen. It reads the accessibility tree, the markup and the files you publish for machines. We test that with the same six checks Google added to Lighthouse's Agentic Browsing category in May 2026, then we go further with a live task run.

agent-accessibility-tree

Can an agent find your controls?

Agents act on the accessibility tree. A button without a programmatic name does not exist to them. The usual offenders: modals, drawers, chat widgets, carousels with cloned slides, mobile menus.

We fix: every interactive element gets a real name and a valid role.
cumulative-layout-shift

Does the page hold still?

For a person a layout shift is a misclick. For an agent it is clicking where the button no longer is, which ends the whole task.

We fix: dimensioned images, reserved space for banners, fonts that do not reflow.
llms-txt

Is your llms.txt real?

Lighthouse parses llms.txt as markdown: it needs an H1, real descriptions and markdown links. A bare list of URLs fails, and a malformed file scores worse than none.

We write: a validated llms.txt that describes your key pages in one line each.
webmcp-registered-tools

Can an agent act, not just read?

WebMCP lets a site expose actions (get a quote, check availability, book) with a schema an agent can call. Proposed standard, Chrome origin trial from Chrome 149.

We plan: which of your flows to expose first, and what the schema should say.
webmcp-form-coverage

Are your forms annotated?

Forms can carry declarative annotations (tool name, description, per-field descriptions) so the browser derives a tool from them. Without them the agent guesses from labels.

We add: the annotations on booking, quote and contact forms, with autosubmit off for anything sensitive.
webmcp-schema-validity

Is the schema valid?

A registered tool with a broken JSON Schema is worse than no tool. Agents learn not to trust the site.

We validate: every registered tool against the spec before it ships.

What we will tell you straight.

Being the go-to means saying what the tools can and cannot do.

Three things most vendors get wrong

  • "Not applicable" is not a failure. The WebMCP checks report not applicable on almost every site today, because almost nobody has adopted it yet. Anyone selling you a fix for that is selling you nothing.
  • Agentic browsing is not a ranking factor. Google has not announced it as one and independent testing found no effect on position. It is a readiness signal for a channel that is arriving, not an SEO emergency.
  • A bad llms.txt is worse than no llms.txt. Absence scores not applicable. A malformed file scores a fail. Only ship one that has been validated.
Why it is different

Old SEO won the click. This wins the answer.

The old way
  • Rank a page in a list of ten blue links
  • Win the click, then hope they read
  • Chase keywords and positions
  • Measured in rankings on a page fewer people visit
The Insite Found way
  • Get named inside the answer itself
  • Win the mention. The AI does the summarizing
  • Answer the real questions people ask
  • Measured in share of the answers your buyers see

Questions

Plain answers.

Getting started

What is AI visibility, in plain terms?
It is whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews know your business and name you when someone asks about what you sell. We measure it, then improve it, so you become the answer instead of a link people never see.
What happens after I ask for the free first look?
We run your site and your top competitors through real AI answers, score you, and email you a short scorecard within two business days. No call is needed to get it. If you want the full 72-check audit after that, we quote it then.
How is this different from regular SEO?
SEO tries to rank a page in a list of links. AI visibility tries to get your brand quoted inside the answer itself. There is overlap, but the signals AI engines trust and the way they read your site are different, and that is what we specialize in.
How long until we see results?
Some fixes surface in AI answers within a few weeks. Most of the gains compound over three to six months as the engines re-read your site and trust builds. We report on it monthly so you can see it move.

Working together

Do you work with my industry or location?
Yes. We work with local service businesses, ecommerce brands and national companies. The method is the same. We tune it to the questions your specific buyers are asking.
Do I need a new website to work with you?
No. We can improve the site you have. If it is slow, hard to update or holding back conversions, we can also build you a new one that is AI-ready from day one. You choose.
What is AI agent readiness?
AI agents are tools that browse and act on the web for a person, like comparing, booking or buying. Agent readiness means your site is structured so those agents can read it and finish the task instead of getting stuck.
Who owns the work?
You do. The content, the site and the accounts are yours. There is no long lock-in contract to get started, and you can take everything with you.

Terms you will hear

AEO

Answer engine optimization. Making your content the answer an engine quotes, not the link it lists.

GEO

Generative engine optimization. The same idea for engines that write the answer: ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews.

Share of answer

Out of all the answers to your category's questions, the share that name you. Tracked per engine, against competitors.

Entity

What an engine believes your business is: one name, one address, one category, everywhere. Fuzzy entities get skipped.

llms.txt

A plain-text file at your site root, written for AI systems, that describes your key pages. Parsed as markdown.

WebMCP

An emerging standard that lets a site expose actions (book, quote, buy) to AI agents directly, with a schema.
