Most audits ask AI the kinds of questions your customers ask, such as "best dentist near me" or "plumber in [city] open today". They record whether you're mentioned, who's mentioned instead and what sources the AI relied on. Then they turn that into a score and a list of fixes. The differences come down to how many questions are asked, whether a person reviews the results, how fast you get it and what's offered afterwards.

Cognitive Authority's free check takes about a minute, needs no account, and shows your score and grade, all four dimension scores, mentions across 8 questions, the most-mentioned competitor, cited sources. It also shows the first question and the AI's summary; the other seven unlock with the full report. Free brand-level checkers from larger SEO software companies are another option.
It asks up to 16 customer-style questions about your type of business in your city, using Google Gemini with live web search. Then it shows each answer, the sources cited where available, and how you compare with local competitors.
Look for the actual questions asked, the full AI answers (not just a score), which sources were cited, which competitors came up instead of you, and specific next steps. Also check delivery time, refund terms and whether anything renews automatically.
Start with the top two or three fixes, usually things like making your business details consistent, strengthening your Google Business Profile and reviews, and answering common customer questions on your site. Give the changes a few weeks, then check again. No audit can guarantee AI will recommend you; it shows where you stand and what's likely holding you back.
