We run five real buyer queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews — 40 runs, not 5 — then show you who's getting cited instead of you and hand you five fixes in priority order. Delivered in 48 hours. No call required.
We run the same AEO readiness audit we run at the start of a paid engagement — live queries through the actual answer engines, your page structure read against what those engines can extract, and your site scored against the AEO maturity model. Then we pull out the five fixes that matter most, ordered by impact rather than by how easy they are.
Each one comes with what to change, where it lives, and the mechanism behind why it works.
What's in the audit:
A visibility test — 40 runs, not 5. Five queries your buyers actually type, each run three times across ChatGPT and Perplexity, plus a pass on Claude and Google AI Overviews. Cited, merely mentioned, or absent.
Who's getting cited instead of you. The specific competitors, listicles and roundups currently owning your category's answers, named.
Your maturity level. Where you sit on L1 to L5, and the one move that gets you up a level — one move, not a five-year plan.
An extractability review. Up to three key pages checked for definition blocks, heading hierarchy, schema, author attribution and freshness signals.
Five prioritized fixes. Ordered by impact, each with the reasoning behind it.
It comes back as a recorded walkthrough, 10 to 15 minutes, plus a one-page action list. You'll watch us find the problems rather than just read about them.
AI answers change between runs. Only about 30% of brands stay visible from one answer to the next, so a single check tells you what happened once — not whether you're actually in the category. Nearly every free AEO check on the market is a single-run spot-check. This one isn't, and that's also why it takes 48 hours instead of 12.
Reappearance rate: "Cited in 1 of 3 runs" and "cited in 3 of 3" are two completely different findings, and reporting either one as simply "cited" is wrong. We report how often you actually come back.
Mention vs. citation: Being named in an answer without a link is a different problem from not appearing at all, and it has a different fix. Only about 28% of answers both mention and cite the same brand. Most tools collapse the two. We report them separately.

Organic traffic is sliding and the rankings haven't moved, so the usual SEO explanation doesn't fit
You've searched your own category in ChatGPT and someone else's name came back
Your buyers are getting AI-generated answers before they get a list of links, and you've got no idea whether yours mention you
Your team keeps spot-checking a prompt here and there, and the answers change every time you look
You're being asked what your AI search strategy is, and you'd rather answer with data than a guess
Your site gets traffic and doesn't convert it. We look at speed, UX and the conversion path, then send you 3-5 quick wins your team can ship this week. Back in 12 hours.
Your buyers are asking AI instead of Google, and you don't know whether you show up. We test your visibility across four answer engines and send you five prioritized fixes. Back in 48 hours.
Before we offered this to anyone, we ran it on our own site — twenty-one non-branded commercial queries across three of our pages, the kind a buyer looking for a Webflow agency would actually type. We showed up once. The rest of the answers were owned by listicles we weren't in.
That's an uncomfortable thing to publish and it's exactly why we know what to look for. We've been building on Webflow since 2019 and we've been a Premium Partner since 2020, so the audit isn't a report we hand off and walk away from. It's the first step of work we can actually ship.
As for why it's free — some of you will take the action list and run with it yourselves, which is genuinely fine. Others will look at what's involved and decide they'd rather we did it. Either way we learn something about how a real category's answers are being built, and you find out where you stand. That's a fair trade.

An AEO audit tests whether AI answer engines cite your site when buyers ask questions in your category. It covers visibility across engines, which sources get cited instead of you, how extractable your pages are, and what to fix first. AEO stands for answer engine optimization — it's the same idea as SEO, aimed at the systems that write answers rather than the ones that list links.
It's free and there's no call attached. You get the recorded walkthrough and the action list whether or not we ever speak. If you want help implementing any of it, that's a separate conversation you can start or not — nothing in the audit is held back to make you have it.
48 hours from submission. Running 40 live queries across four answer engines and reading your pages properly takes real time, and we'd rather promise two days and hit it every time than promise same-day and miss.
No. The diagnostic is platform-neutral and works on any site. Webflow matters at the implementation stage, because that's where we can ship the fixes ourselves rather than handing you a list and hoping someone gets to it.
The website audit looks at speed, UX and the conversion path — why visitors aren't converting once they're on your site. This one looks at citation and extractability — why AI answer engines aren't mentioning you in the first place. They're different questions with different fixes, so take whichever matches the problem you actually have.
Up to three key pages, plus site-wide signals like schema coverage, crawler access for the AI bots, and whether your entity is described consistently across the site. A full-site review is a paid engagement.
Because AI visibility moves. Only about 30% of brands stay visible from one answer to the next, so a one-shot check is a coin flip you're reading as a result. Running each query three times tells you whether you're genuinely present in the category's answers or whether you got lucky once.
The Digi Hotshot team. We've been a Webflow Premium Partner since 2020 with 50+ B2B builds, and we've been publishing on AEO for a while now — well before we offered it as a service.
You get the walkthrough and the one-page action list, and most of what's on it is work your own team can ship. If you'd rather we did it, book a call. Nothing about the audit is contingent on that.
You'll get your audit within 48 hours — a recorded walkthrough plus a one-page action list. We'll also send you the extractability checklist we run pages against, so you can start checking your own pages while you wait.
