Boutique SEO agencies charge $15,000 to $40,000 for the kind of audit a serious site deserves. The deliverable lands six weeks later as a 90-page PDF that nobody opens because half of it is screenshots of Screaming Frog.

Meanwhile every "free SEO tool" online runs the same shallow checks from 2014 (meta tags, heading order, broken links) while completely missing the question that actually matters in 2026: does an AI model know your brand exists, and will it cite you when someone asks?

SEO for AI Agents is built around two convictions:

SEO in the AI Overview era is a different game. GEO, AIO, citation-grounding, llms.txt, schema density, and E-E-A-T trust signals matter more than keyword density ever did.
Every finding has to ship with the raw evidence the check looked at. If you can't audit our audit, it's just vibes.

A small team, all of whom have run SEO programs in production.
