AI SEO Audit
Search results now include AI-generated summaries and chatbot answers, and they pull from different signals than classic rankings. An AI SEO audit checks whether your content is structured, crawlable and citable for these new surfaces.
What a AI SEO Audit Covers
Every Contextread ai seo audit reviews these six areas in detail.
AI Crawler Access
Whether AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) can actually access your content.
Content Structure
Clear, extractable answers versus buried, fluffy content.
Citation Readiness
Whether your content is written in a way AI tools can quote.
Structured Data
Schema markup that helps machines understand your content.
E-E-A-T Signals
Expertise and authority signals AI systems weigh heavily.
Current AI Visibility
Whether you already appear in AI-generated answers today.
Do You Actually Need a AI SEO Audit?
Never Checked AI Search Visibility
You don't know if you show up in AI-generated answers.
Competitors Cited, You're Not
Rivals get quoted in AI answers for topics you also cover.
Content Written for Keywords, Not Answers
Pages are optimised for classic SEO, not extractable answers.
Unsure If AI Bots Can Crawl You
Robots.txt or firewall rules may be blocking AI crawlers unintentionally.
Traffic From Search Feels Uncertain
AI Overviews may be reducing click-through even where you rank.
Planning Content Strategy for Next Year
You want to build for where search is heading, not just where it's been.

What Happens After the Audit
An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.
Getting cited in AI-generated answers
Restructuring five core pages into clear, directly-quotable answer formats led to the brand appearing in AI Overview results for terms it had never been cited on before.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI SEO audit?
A review of how well your content and site are set up to appear in AI-generated search results and chatbot answers, not just classic rankings.

₹12,000 for a top-20-page snapshot, up to ₹1,90,000+ for enterprise audits with ongoing tracking.

No audit can guarantee inclusion, since AI systems change constantly — but we can meaningfully improve your odds.
