GEO Audit: Find Where AI Answers Ignore You

The audit answers three questions: which prompts should you appear in, do you appear today, and what exactly would change the outcome.

Written and maintained by the SEO Studio technical team · last reviewed October 2026 · methodology and SOP documentation

How we test

We build a fixed prompt set from your buyer journey, run it across assistants on a schedule, and record whether your domain is cited, mentioned or absent.

  • Prompt set mapped to funnel stage, not random queries
  • Weekly scheduled runs with full answer capture
  • Competitor share-of-voice comparison

What the fix usually is

Most gaps are structural rather than substantive: the answer exists but buried, contradictory across pages, or missing the numbers a source citation requires.

  • Restructure top pages so answers come first
  • Add dated figures with attributable sourcing
  • Resolve contradictions discovered across pages

Questions people ask about geo audit

How do you track AI citations?
With a fixed prompt panel run on a schedule, capturing full answers and mentioned domains. Single ad-hoc checks are too noisy to guide decisions.
Is measurement reliable given model randomness?
Individual answers vary, but aggregates over dozens of prompts and repeated runs show stable trends, which is why we never report one-off screenshots.
Do you fix what the audit finds?
Yes inside managed engagements. Stand-alone audits come with the prioritised backlog if you prefer your own team to implement it.
