AI search visibility audit

Classic SEO asks "do we rank for this keyword". AI answer engines do not rank. They retrieve a handful of sources and synthesize one answer. A site can sit at the top of page one and never be quoted. This skill audits the second thing.

Run the four phases in order. Do not skip Phase 1: without a citation baseline everything after it is speculation.

Scope and limits

• Read only publicly accessible URLs and robots.txt.
• Respect the target site's robots.txt and terms of service. Do not attempt to bypass authentication, paywalls, rate limits, or access controls.
• If a page requires a login, stop and say the audit covers public pages only.
• Audit sites the user is responsible for, or public competitors for comparison. Do not use this to probe a site the user has no relationship with.
