Our intro service
The AEO audit. Where your brand stands in AI search.
Five business days of real work, given as our intro to every brand we consider working with. The audit is how we evaluate where you stand, and how you evaluate the work. No credit card.
Capacity is real. We run a small number of audits each month so the work stays substantive.
Why we do this for free
The audit is how we get to know each other.
Most agencies sell you on a pitch deck and a sample report. We sell you on real work. Five days of analysis on your actual brand, your actual competitors, your actual visibility in AI answers. By the end, you know where you stand and how we work. If we are a fit, we keep going. If not, you walk with the audit.
What you get
A clear picture, in six parts.
Where you stand right now
We check whether your brand shows up when customers ask AI engines for product or brand recommendations in your category. You'll see which queries surface you and which don't.
How your competitors look
We pull the three competitors most relevant to you and show how they appear in AI answers compared to you. Where they win, where they're vulnerable.
Which AI engines actually cite you
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews. We tell you which engines are putting your brand in front of shoppers and which are leaving you out.
Why your brand is or is not getting picked
Plain English read on the structural and content reasons AI engines cite some brands and not others, applied to your site specifically.
The biggest gaps holding you back
A short list of the highest-impact things we see, in priority order. Not a full plan. Enough for you to understand where the leverage is.
A 30-minute call to walk it through
We sit down with you and go through every finding. You ask questions. We answer. By the end, you know exactly where you stand and exactly how we work.
How we work
Five days, three phases.
Days 01-02
We dig into your brand
We look at your Shopify store, your customers, and how AI engines are talking about your category. No third-party tool. We do the work ourselves.
Days 02-03
We test the AI engines
We run real queries on every major AI engine your customers use and document where you appear, where you don't, and who shows up instead.
Days 04-05
We synthesize and meet
We package the findings into a PDF and book a 30-minute call to walk you through it. Questions answered, gaps explained, no plan handed over (that's for clients).
The honest version
What you do not get.
- × A full implementation plan. The audit shows you where you stand. The plan is part of the engagement.
- × Custom content or rewrites. No new pages, no rewrites. The audit is analysis, not production.
- × Listicle pitching. We point out where you should be. We pitch you in once you become a client.
- × Unlimited revisions. One audit. One walkthrough. Follow-up questions are welcome.
- × Guarantees on rankings or citations. No agency can promise specific results. The audit is honest about where you stand, not a sales pitch.
Audit questions
Common questions, answered.
Who is the audit for?
DTC brands at $1M+ in revenue, on Shopify, whose customers are starting to ask AI engines which products or brands to consider. Across categories. Beauty, food and drink, jewelry, apparel, home, wellness, anything. The audit format is the same; the queries we baseline depend on your category.
What if I don't have a marketing team or developer?
The audit still gives you a clear picture of where you stand. It is also how you decide if you want us to handle the work for you. The audit is the introduction to working together, not homework you have to take on.
Do I have to retain you after the audit?
No. The audit is free and there is no commitment. If you want us to keep going, we keep going. If not, you walk with the deliverable.
Why is the audit free?
The audit is our intro. Five days of real work given upfront so we can decide together whether to keep going. Most agencies sell with a sample report. We sell with the actual work on your actual brand. Free is not a discount. It is the relationship.
Is there a catch?
No catch. No credit card. We do limit how many audits we run each month so the work stays substantive.
