productized · $500 · 5-day delivery
When your prospect asks ChatGPT for "best [your category] near me," does it name you? Probably not — 91% of SMBs are structurally invisible to AI search.
The Ascero AI Visibility Audit maps exactly where you are cited (and not cited) across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini — and ships a ranked 30/60/90-day roadmap to flip every gap. $500 flat. PDF in 5 business days. No sales pitch in the audit.
Quick answer
Most owner-operated SMBs win between 3 and 8 new AI citations within 14 days of shipping the recommended fixes. Audit fee: $500, one-time.
the 7 checks
We run your business name, ICP, and category through ChatGPT (and Claude and Perplexity and Gemini) the way a real prospect would. Then we tell you exactly which prompts cite you, which cite competitors, and what's missing from your site to flip each one.
We audit every JSON-LD block on your site against the 2026 Google rich-results spec — Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, HowTo, Service, Offer, Review, BreadcrumbList. Missing or malformed schema is the #1 reason SMB sites lose AI citations they should win.
We check whether your site emits the LLM-crawler discovery files in the format Perplexity, Anthropic, and Claude-IDE agents are actually scraping. Most sites have neither, and the fix is a 30-minute file write that flips citation from zero to nonzero inside two weeks.
Google's 2026 algorithm specifically rewards Author Entities with linked sameAs profiles (LinkedIn, X, Crunchbase, Wikidata). We audit whether your founder pages name a real human, link out, and emit Person schema — the gap that demotes most "Admin"-bylined SMB content.
We score your GBP against the 2026 weighting model: primary category, secondary categories, Services tab depth, review velocity, photo cadence, Q&A coverage, posts. For local-serving SMBs this is 60% of search visibility, and 90% are leaving wins on the table.
AEO research: answer-first content blocks (40-60 word direct answers under H2s) get cited ~3x more than narrative-first content. We surface where to insert them on your existing pages without rewriting from scratch.
AI search models cite from corpora outside your domain: Reddit, G2, Capterra, Product Hunt, vertical roundups. We tell you which corpora your category is being cited from and which 3-5 placements would flip your citation rate fastest.

questions
We productized it. Most of the audit is automated — we run a fixed set of prompts through five LLM models, score against a rubric, generate the schema blocks from templates. The $500 covers the founder time on the walkthrough call and the writeup. The $5K agencies are bundling implementation; we ship the audit standalone so you can decide who implements.
If your business doesn't have enough public surface area for a meaningful audit (very new, no website, no GBP), we will tell you on the intake form and refund inside 24 hours. We do not bill for an audit we cannot run.
Yes. The audit is the standalone product; implementation is a separate engagement (typically $2-8K depending on scope). About a third of audits convert to an implementation engagement; the other two-thirds use the roadmap to implement themselves or with their existing agency.
It will. The roadmap we ship is anchored in fundamentals that have stayed stable through 5+ Google + LLM updates: real Author Entities, schema correctness, hyperlocal NAP consistency, FAQ answer blocks, and original media. We re-issue the audit at 50% off if a major Google or AI-search update flips the playbook inside 12 months.
Five business days from the intake form. If we have a backlog the order page will show the current ETA.
