An AISO Readiness Audit is a strategic assessment of how AI-driven search systems understand, describe, and surface your organization. It evaluates visibility, accuracy, trust signals, and machine readability, then translates those findings into clear priorities leadership can act on.

This audit is not about rankings, keywords, or traffic optimization. It focuses on whether AI systems can correctly interpret your mission, programs, and authority, and whether they can confidently cite and summarize your content. While there may be overlap with SEO concepts, the goal is understanding and accuracy, not search performance tactics.

The audit examines how your organization appears in widely used AI-driven search environments, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. The focus is on patterns in representation, not one-off answers.

No. AI systems do not offer guarantees around citations or visibility. This audit provides clarity on what is helping or hurting AI understanding today and gives you a prioritized roadmap to reduce risk and improve readiness over time.

No. The audit is designed for marketing, communications, and leadership teams. Technical findings are delivered in plain language with clear effort indicators so you can decide what to address internally, outsource, or defer.

No. This is a diagnostic and advisory engagement. You receive clear recommendations, but implementation is separate and optional. This ensures the audit remains objective and decision-focused.

Most audits are completed within three to four weeks from kickoff, depending on site size and complexity. You will receive a final executive-ready summary and a live readout at the end of the engagement.

You receive an executive summary PDF, supporting evidence and examples, a prioritized action roadmap with effort indicators, and a 60-minute readout call to walk through findings and answer questions.

The audit works best when marketing or communications leads are involved, with optional participation from digital, content, or web stakeholders. Executive participation is recommended for the readout.

No. While it is especially valuable for organizations with complex content ecosystems, it can also benefit smaller teams that publish authoritative content and want to ensure it is accurately represented by AI systems.

Pricing typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,000 and is based on factors like site size, content volume, program complexity, and organizational structure. Final pricing is confirmed after a brief scoping conversation.

Many organizations use the audit as a shared reference to guide content updates, structural improvements, or internal alignment. Some choose to engage in optional advisory or implementation support, while others execute internally using the roadmap provided.
