What this tool checks
Review the signals this tool can actually observe, such as public crawl rules, website text, structured data, or business details. A clean result does not prove that any AI engine has read, trusted, or recommended the business.
The REAL Method is an editorial checklist: describe the business, verify evidence, answer customer questions, and link to useful sources. It is not an engine scoring formula.
- Check the visible facts before changing a live page.
- Keep a record of the page and date when comparing future changes.
- Run documented AI prompts separately if you need an observed mention or citation.
Launch workflow
Start with one business, one city, and one service. Review the tool output against the live site and select one verified issue to fix. Only publish a change with permission and a way to check the result.
After a website change, recheck the same page. To assess AI mentions, use the same documented prompts and compare dated answers; changes cannot be attributed to one edit without stronger evidence.
How it connects to paid plans
The free tool is a starting point. The $79 Automated SEO plan covers one authorized WordPress site with published monthly work limits, daily critical monitoring, a weekly crawl, and a monthly report. Managed Growth starts with a separately quoted human-managed SEO scope. AI visibility remains supporting evidence, not a promised outcome.
Common questions
What does the AI Visibility Foundation Check actually score?
It estimates website readiness from public signals such as crawl access, entity clarity, content, and links. A limited Perplexity query may run when available; the other named AI engines are not live-measured by this score. It cannot predict whether an engine will recommend the business.
Is the AI Visibility Foundation Check free?
Yes. It is the free diagnostic entry point, designed to be run before any paid SEO or GEO work so the next fix is based on evidence instead of a generic checklist.
