FAQ
Straight answers, before you spend a dollar.
What the audit covers, what it costs, and what we can and can't promise.
Can't I just use ChatGPT or Claude Code to check my website?
You could try. The problem is knowing which findings to trust before you act on them. A suggested fix is only useful if the problem has been correctly identified. SEENMETRIC checks your website, Google results, AI answers and competitors. Our experts review the evidence, verify the findings and explain what needs fixing, why and in what order. A cheaper check can become expensive if it sends you in the wrong direction.
What is an SEO + GEO audit?
An SEO + GEO audit checks whether search engines and AI assistants can find, understand and recommend your business. It covers traditional SEO (how Google finds and reads your site) plus GEO, short for generative engine optimisation, which measures how your business shows up in AI answers from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
How is AI visibility different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO is about ranking in a list of links. AI visibility is about being named in an answer. AI assistants read the same web Google reads, but they may give a short list or a direct recommendation instead of ten blue links, so being readable and clearly described matters even more. The foundation overlaps heavily, which is why one audit covers both.
Can you guarantee my site will appear in ChatGPT or rank #1 on Google?
Honestly, no one can. AI answers and search rankings are controlled by the platforms, not by anyone you hire. What we can do is remove the barriers, measure where you stand using questions a potential customer might ask, and give you a ranked plan, so search engines and AI can actually find, understand and consider you.
Is this different from a normal SEO audit?
Yes. It covers the core technical, content and local-search factors a traditional SEO audit checks, plus whether AI tools can read your site, whether the business details Google and AI read are right, and real AI testing where we ask actual customer questions and quote the answers word for word. Most SEO audits tell you about Google. This one also tells you what ChatGPT says about you.
Do you ask each question more than once?
At Standard, no. Each question (up to 5) is put to ChatGPT once and the answer is quoted exactly as given, so the result is a snapshot of where you stand on the day we ran it, not an average taken over repeated runs. AI answers can shift day to day, so treat it as a real, dated data point rather than a fixed score.
Do I need to give you access to my website?
No. The audit runs entirely on what's publicly visible, the same view search engines and AI systems have. No logins, no analytics access, nothing to install.
Will you fix the problems, or just list them?
Both, if you want. Every finding comes with a specific fix, ranked by priority and clear enough to act on the same week. If you would like us to make the fixes, we quote that work separately. No obligation: the report is yours, and you are free to do the work yourself or with anyone you like.
How long does the audit take?
The Foundation Audit arrives by email in minutes. The paid audit is delivered within 2 business days of payment.
What if the audit finds nothing wrong?
It hasn't happened yet. Every site we've audited so far had issues the owner didn't know about, and our recent sample report found 31. If your site really is clean, the report proves it, and that certainty is worth having before you spend more on content or ads.
Do I still need SEO if I only care about AI search?
Yes. AI assistants rely on the same web that Google reads. A site that's invisible to Google is invisible to AI too. One foundation serves both.
What's the difference between the Foundation Audit and the paid audits?
The Foundation Audit is an automated scan of your homepage basics (speed, the business details Google and AI read, whether AI tools can get in), with up to five issues by email. The Standard Audit (A$149) checks your whole site, compares you to competitors, asks ChatGPT up to 5 questions a potential customer might ask and delivers every finding ranked with fixes. Advanced Audit (A$349) asks up to 10 questions in each of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity (up to 40 answers in all) and adds a look at why competitors are named instead of you, deeper competitor data and a 30-minute strategy call.
Is this a subscription or a retainer?
Neither. You pay once (A$149 for the Standard Audit, A$349 for the Advanced Audit) and the report is yours. There is no monthly fee, no contract and no lock-in, unlike a software subscription or an agency retainer that bills you every month. If you want us to make the fixes afterwards, we quote that work separately, and you are free to hand the report to any developer or agency instead.
