What is the free AI Visibility Audit?

The free audit at https://mabido.com/visibility-audit scans a website for SEO and AI-readiness signals (title, meta, canonical, schema, FAQPage, sameAs, sitemap, llms.txt, content hub). It returns an Overall AI Visibility Score plus sub-scores for ChatGPT, Gemini, Google, and Bing with actionable recommendations. No payment required.

Does the audit query ChatGPT’s live API?

No. ChatGPT and Bing sub-scores are GEO-based estimates from page signals. The live probe uses Gemini with Google Search grounding when API quota is available. MABIDO labels this honestly in the product: live Gemini + estimates — not a paid multi-model citation API like enterprise monitoring suites.

What does the Gemini live probe check?

When quota allows, the audit runs a Gemini request with Google Search grounding to see whether the brand or domain appears in grounded answers for relevant queries. Results may include cited_brand, cited_domain, snippet, and sources. If Gemini keys hit daily caps, the probe fails with cap_exhausted and technical checklist scores still apply.

What homepage signals does the checklist review?

Typical checks include title and meta description, canonical URL, hreflang, Organization schema, FAQPage JSON-LD, sameAs links, sitemap.xml availability, llms.txt, content hub (/news), and syndicated blogs. Missing FAQPage or llms.txt lowers citability. Fix crawl blocks (robots Disallow for AI bots) before expecting AI scores to rise.

What is the citability score?

Citability is a local /100 score computed from HTML structure without calling an LLM: concise opening, headings, lists, visible FAQ, FAQPage schema, JSON-LD, and llms.txt. It appears in /visibility-audit and weekly AI Search Loops reports. It measures how easy a page is to quote — not guaranteed ChatGPT citations.

How often should I re-run the audit?

Re-run after major site changes: new schema, FAQ pages, robots.txt fixes, or publishing a content hub. Global Business clients also receive a monthly visibility report and Citation Pulse (Gemini live) inside their plan. Prospects can re-check https://mabido.com/visibility-audit anytime for free.

Why might my Overall score be high but AI still not cite me?

Technical readiness ≠ brand authority. A well-marked site can still lose to stronger third-party sources on a given prompt. Scores reflect on-page and crawl signals; citation rate also needs consistent facts, external mentions, and time for crawlers to refresh. MABIDO’s production layer addresses the footprint gap after the audit.

Is the audit only for Global Business customers?

No. Anyone can run https://mabido.com/visibility-audit. Global Business customers get ongoing monthly production plus Citation Pulse inside the paid footprint. The free audit is the lead magnet to show gaps before subscribing at https://mabido.com/global-business/register

What should I do after a low audit score?

Prioritize: allow AI search crawlers in robots.txt, add Organization + FAQPage schema, publish factual FAQs, expose llms.txt, and create a clear entity page. Then consider Global Business for monthly blogs, FAQs, videos, and hub publishing. MABIDO documents the checklist inside the audit recommendations themselves.

Does MABIDO store my audit results?

Audit runs used for product flows may be stored for reporting and follow-up (including Footprint cycles for platform/demo merchants). Do not submit secrets in form fields. For operational questions contact info@mabido.com.

Can agencies white-label the audit for clients?

Agencies can send clients to the public audit URL and use Global Business hubs per brand. Wholesale agency lots are described on https://mabido.com/agencies. The public audit UI remains on mabido.com branding unless a separate partner arrangement is agreed.

Where is the audit linked from the site?

Primary URL: https://mabido.com/visibility-audit. It is also referenced from the homepage, Global Business pages, llms.txt, and AI Visibility landing at https://mabido.com/ai-visibility
