  "question": "What does an AI visibility site audit check?",
  "description": "An AI visibility site audit evaluates how LLMs and answer engines ingest, cite, and represent your brand data to improve presence in AI-generated responses.",
  "summary": "An AI visibility site audit identifies technical and content barriers that prevent LLMs from effectively indexing your brand. By optimizing for machine-readability and citation intelligence, brands can improve their presence across platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.",
  "answer": "An AI visibility site audit shifts focus from traditional blue-link SEO to the mechanics of how AI models ingest and cite brand information. It evaluates technical accessibility for AI crawlers, the machine-readability of site content, and the specific citation rate of your pages within AI answer engines. Unlike standard audits, this process prioritizes entity-based narrative alignment and the technical signals that influence whether an LLM selects your content as a source. By identifying gaps in how models represent your brand, you can refine your content strategy to ensure higher visibility in AI-generated answers across platforms like Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.",
