Comparison
AI visibility report vs. local SEO audit
A local SEO audit checks your website, business listings and other information that can affect search visibility. An AI visibility report records answers to questions about your business, including the businesses named and source links returned. The two services help you investigate different parts of your online presence; an AI answer alone cannot prove why a recommendation was made.

How do they differ?
| Local SEO audit | AIRank AI visibility report | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts from | Your website and listings | Real customer questions asked to AI assistants |
| Shows | Technical and listing issues | Which businesses AI names and which sources it links to |
| Competitors | Sometimes, by manual research | Every business AI named, counted |
| Website inspection | Detailed | AI crawler access (robots.txt) only |
| Typical price | Often a one-off project fee | $39 CAD per business, per report |
AIRank does not audit your whole website or your listings. If the report points to a site or listing problem, a local SEO audit is the right next step.
Which should I do first?
Start with a report if your question is whether AI mentions your business. Start with an SEO audit if you already need a detailed check of your website or listings. A report can help you choose what to investigate, but it cannot prove that a particular page or listing caused an answer.
If you already have an SEO audit, use the report to decide which of its recommendations matter most for AI answers, and re-check the next month to see whether your share of recommendations moved beyond normal variation.
- Choose the report when you want to read the answers AI gives about your business and competitors.
- Choose an audit first when you already know your site or listings have technical problems.
- Use both when you want to review website improvements alongside changes in recorded AI answers.
Frequently asked questions
How much does AIRank cost?
Starter is $39 CAD per business, per report, plus applicable tax. You can add up to four more businesses on the same order at the same price. There is no annual contract.
How do I order a report?
Enter your business details and complete the payment step. We prepare your report after payment confirmation and send a private link when it is ready. A customer account is not required.
Which AI assistants do you check?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, through each vendor's API with web search where the vendor offers it. Every report names the assistants that actually answered; an assistant that fails is marked unavailable, never counted against you. Google AI Overviews is not tested.
Do you guarantee that AI will recommend my business?
No. Nobody can guarantee what an AI assistant says. AIRank shows you what the assistants said, the sources they used and which businesses they chose instead, so you can decide what to change and see whether it worked.
