Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Technical Audit?

A Technical Audit checks a page on your site for the technical factors that affect whether AI models can find, parse, and use your content: crawler access, page structure, schema markup, navigation, content balance, and metadata. Each audit covers one URL and returns a scored report with specific fixes.

How is this different from a technical SEO audit?

There's overlap, but the ranking systems differ. AI models favor content they can confidently extract and quote: clear self-contained answers, clean structure, accessible rendering. A page can be well-optimized for Google and still be effectively invisible to AI models.

Which pages should I audit first?

Start with the pages AI is most likely to draw on when describing you: your homepage, pricing, product pages, and comparison content. Your Citation Audit shows which of your pages AI already cites, which is a good priority list.

How many audits do I get?

Starter includes 10 URL audits per month and Pro includes 50. See the full plan comparison.

How is it different from the Content Audit?

The Technical Audit checks whether AI models can access and parse a page. The Content Audit checks whether your content answers the questions buyers actually ask AI. Access first, substance second; most teams need both.
