    How we measure

    Real prompts across the major AI engines, plus direct site checks.

    Every audit runs your business through two real data sources: (1) live AI engines — Perplexity Sonar on the free preview, and Perplexity + ChatGPT + Gemini on paid reports — using a battery of buyer-intent prompts tuned to your detected sub-category and city; and (2) direct fetches of your robots.txt, homepage JSON-LD, and sitemap.xml. We don't query Google AI Overviews directly today (that requires SerpAPI scraping, which is on our roadmap). Competitors named in the answers are then independently verified to be real, in-category, and within ~25km of your city. Unverified names are dropped.

    Accuracy note: AI answers shift daily as models and indexes update. Scores reflect what the engines were returning at the moment of audit — which is exactly why Monitor exists, to track movement over time.

    Projected impact

    Fix the 4 issues we found and your score could climb to 73.

    03 / Co-citation intelligence

    Sources cited as grounding for your category

    These are the domains Perplexity Sonar returned as grounded web sources during your prompt sweep. (ChatGPT and Gemini answer from training data and don't expose source URLs the same way, so this list reflects Perplexity's grounding only.) Aim to be mentioned on the top sources within 30 days — they're the pages every AI engine learns from.

    04 / Crawlability

    Can AI even read your site?

    Robots.txt directives and structured data signals.

    Exactly what to fix, and how to fix it

    Each item is scored by impact. Start with the pinned top fix, then work down the list.

    Do this first

    Allow AI crawlers in robots.txt

    GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are currently blocked. AI engines can't index your pages — which is why competitors with open robots.txt are being cited instead.
