A free AI search visibility checker and website grader

This audit works as a website grader and a free AI search visibility checker in one. It grades speed, Google basics and enquiry buttons, then checks whether AI tools can read your site.

The full report goes further. It asks ChatGPT and Perplexity real customer questions and shows who they name.

Brand audit checklist

The website audit covers your site. A brand audit looks at the whole business. Use this brand audit checklist to review your brand yourself.

  • Can a stranger say what you do and who it is for in one sentence?
  • Do your logo, colours and fonts look the same on the website, signboard, packaging and social media?
  • Does your Google Business Profile have current photos, hours and recent reviews?
  • Do your prices, look and tone match the customers you want?
  • Can customers find a phone number and WhatsApp button within five seconds?
  • What do your three closest competitors do better, and what do you do better?
  • Do your staff describe the business the same way?
  • Is there one brand book or guideline file everyone uses?

More questions

Is this a free AI search visibility checker?

Yes. The free audit checks whether AI crawlers are allowed to read your site and whether your pages are easy for them to understand. The full report, also free, asks ChatGPT and Perplexity real questions customers ask and shows whether they name you or your competitors. Run it again after changes to see whether your AI visibility improves.

Is this website grader different from other website graders?

Most website graders score speed and SEO basics only. This one also checks enquiry buttons, trust signals, domain expiry, email setup, tracking tags and AI search readiness. It compares you with up to three competitors side by side. Every problem links to the fix, so the grade turns into a to-do list.

Do you have a brand audit template or checklist I can use?

Yes. Use the brand audit checklist and template on this page. They cover your message, identity, online presence, competitors and the SWOT areas. Score each area honestly, then fix the weakest first. If you want a second opinion, send your completed template to BRANDSWOT Consultancy on WhatsApp and we will review it with your website audit.

Questions people ask

Is the website audit really free?

Yes. The main audit is free with no sign-up: speed, Google basics, AI search readiness, enquiry buttons, security, domain, email setup, tracking, sharing and accessibility, plus up to 3 competitors. The full report (Google ratings, rankings, missing keywords, ChatGPT and Perplexity mentions, design review, GTmetrix) is also free: tell us a little about your business, add your mobile number and verify your email.

How is this different from PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse or GTmetrix?

Speed is tested with Google Lighthouse, the same engine behind PageSpeed Insights and Chrome's Lighthouse, run 3 times with the middle result kept. GTmetrix is added in the full report. On top of speed we check the things that decide enquiries: Google setup, AI search, call and WhatsApp buttons, trust, security, email and competitors.

Why are my scores different on other tools?

Each tool tests from a different location, device and connection, and scores move a few points between runs. Compare the same tool over time, and give most weight to Google's real-visitor data when your site has enough traffic.

Do you check if ChatGPT can find my business?

Yes. The free audit checks whether AI tools are allowed to read your site and can understand it. The full report asks ChatGPT and Perplexity real customer questions and shows whether they name you or your competitors.
