AI visibility audits for local businesses

When customers ask AI who to hire, does it name you?

Your customers ask AI assistants who to hire. We ask the questions your buyers ask, measure how often your business is named, compare you with your competitors, and show you what to fix first, with the evidence behind every finding.

Takes about three minutes. No charge until you approve a written scope.

  • Written scope and price before any work
  • Every finding tied to a saved source
  • Honest limits: no promised rankings

Why one search isn't enough

Ranking well in search doesn't tell you whether AI names you.

AI recommendations

AI answers change by question, platform and run, so one test proves nothing. We ask a defined set of buyer questions, repeat them, and report how often you're named, with the uncertainty stated.

Google Maps

Map results are the other place nearby customers look. We check a sampled grid across your service area as supporting context, not as the headline.

The next fix

A technical checklist isn't a plan. We show what matters, what the evidence supports, and where to start.

What the audit measures

Three questions. Three separate answers.

AI visibility is the headline. Website readiness and the local map check add context. We never blend them into one score, and each has its own method, evidence and limits.

AI Visibility Index

When customers ask AI assistants who to hire, how often is your business named?

How often AI assistants mention or recommend your business in sampled answers, with the sampling uncertainty stated. We separate mentioned, cited, recommended and correctly described.

It is not a fixed AI rank. Results vary by assistant, question and run.

GEO Readiness Score

Is your website and public business information set up to be found and understood?

A rubric for the website and business-information factors you can change: crawler access, page structure and usefulness, business identity, profile quality, consistency, review data and supporting evidence. GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization.

Bands: 0–39 Critical; 40–59 Weak; 60–79 Competitive; 80–100 Strong.

Readiness weights are heuristic priorities, not measured effects on search or AI rankings.

Local Visibility Index

Where do nearby customers find you on Google Maps?

How often your business appears in Google Maps results across sampled points in your actual service area, with position context and open-versus-closed-hours comparisons where included.

A supporting check, reported separately. We name the mapped grid and sampled queries. It is not Google's internal ranking score.

  2. 2 Evidence
  3. 3 Judgment
  4. 4 Action

Observation

The service list on the website and business profile do not match.

Evidence reviewed

Website service page · Business profile · Retrieved on a fictional sample date

Why it matters

Customers and retrieval systems see different descriptions of the business. This is a data-quality concern, not proof of a ranking penalty.

Recommended action

Align public service descriptions with the services the business actually provides.

Confidence

High confidence in the observed mismatch. Impact on rankings or AI mentions is not directly established.

Inspect the evidence

Source 01 · Website /services (fictional): “Furnace repair, AC repair, and new system installation.”

Source 02 · Business profile (fictional): “Installation.” Repair is not listed.

Reviewer note: Both sources were captured the same day. We could not tell which one reflects current services; the owner confirms.

How the audit works

From scattered search results to a ranked plan.

  1. Define the business and competitors

    We confirm your website, services, service area and 3–10 competitors, and write it up as a scope you approve.

  2. Sample AI answers

    We ask the questions your buyers ask on the assistants in your scope, repeat them across runs, keep every response, and calculate how often you are named, with uncertainty ranges.

  3. Review your website and public listings

    We check whether AI tools and crawlers can read your site, what it says, how your business details read across profiles, and whether it offers first-hand information worth quoting.

  4. Check your local map results

    As supporting context, we check Google Maps results from a sampled grid across your service area.

  5. Explain and prioritize findings

    Each observation is linked to its source or saved response, then ranked P0 (fix first), P1 or P2.

  6. Deliver the audit and next steps

    You get a clear report and a session to review it, plus your options for implementation or reassessment.

Who's behind it

Built for decisions, not dashboards.

Naxo AI is for owners who are tired of SEO reports they can't check. Every audit separates what we observed from what we inferred, shows its sources, and ends with a short list of fixes ranked by evidence. There's no dashboard to log in to.

Questions

What owners ask before they request an audit.

Will this guarantee that AI assistants recommend my business?

No. We measure how often AI assistants name you under defined conditions and recommend improvements the evidence supports. No AI assistant or search engine guarantees placement, so neither can we.

Is there a single AI rank for my company?

No. AI answers vary by assistant, question and run, so there is no fixed position to report. We show how often your company was named in our sample and explain the uncertainty.

What do you need to start?

Your website, business name, service area, services and the competitors you want to compare. We confirm every detail with you before collecting any data.

What does an audit cost?

We confirm scope and price in writing before work starts. Cost depends on geographic coverage, platforms, question set, competitor count and additional locations.

Do you still look at Google Maps?

Yes, as supporting context. The audit centers on how often AI assistants name your business. We also check how you appear in Google Maps across your service area, because nearby customers look there too. That check is reported separately and never blended into the AI result.
