What does the free AI search audit actually check?
The free audit checks if your brand and products are named or cited in AI answers powered by OpenAI (GPT), which includes ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and ChatGPT search. It does not check Google Gemini or Google AI Overviews on the free plan. SEOWedge crawls your site, builds a Brand DNA profile, and automatically discovers five buyer questions that matter in your category—no prompt-writing required.
Each discovered question is sent to OpenAI’s API. SEOWedge records which brands are named in the answer and whether your domain is cited, mentioned, or missing. You see an AI-Visibility score (your share of mentions/citations), a competitor share-of-voice chart, and a list of gaps where you’re not named. This is not a generic SEO audit—it’s a direct test of what AI assistants say about your brand right now.

Free audit outputs: what you receive and what’s paid
Do I need to install anything or give site access?
No installation or access is needed. SEOWedge does not require a script, login, or backend connection. You enter your domain and SEOWedge crawls the public site, the same way an AI assistant or search engine would. This means you can run the audit on any live site, including sites you do not control (for competitive research).
Your audit is based on what AI assistants can see and cite. If your pages are blocked to OpenAI’s OAI-SearchBot, they may not be surfaced in ChatGPT search results. For more on crawler access, see LLM SEO: Technical Guide.
| Requirement | Needed for Free Audit |
|---|---|
| Install script | No |
| Google Search Console access | No |
| OpenAI API key | No |
| Domain ownership | No |
| Publicly accessible site | Yes |
What you need (and don’t need) to run a free audit
What is included free, and what needs a paid plan?

Paid plans unlock more scans, more buyer questions per scan, multiple projects, bulk article generation, and Google Gemini coverage (which includes Google AI Overviews and AI Mode). You can see all plan details at the pricing page.

Free vs paid: what’s included at each level
Is the free audit result useful on its own?
Yes. The free audit gives you a real AI-Visibility score, names your top competitor for those buyer questions, and shows you one actionable gap—the question you’re missing and the page you need to create or fix. This is enough to see if you are being cited, which competitor is winning, and what to do first. You can use the included action brief to start closing your AI search gap right away.
If you want to track progress, scan more questions, or cover more engines, you can upgrade at any time. The free result is not a teaser: it is a complete, actionable diagnosis for a single domain.
How does SEOWedge’s free audit compare to other AI search tools?
SEOWedge is the only tool in this category that gives a real, no-card, actionable free scan. Other tools offer free trials that require signup or payment details, or show limited demo data. SEOWedge’s free audit discovers real buyer questions for your category, runs them through OpenAI (GPT), and names the brands that are actually cited—no prompt-writing, no manual question setup.
If you want a detailed comparison of SEOWedge with other tools, including Otterly AI, Peec AI, Profound, or Semrush AI Visibility, see the best AI search visibility tools for ecommerce page or the specific comparison pages.
What happens after I get my free audit result?
After your audit, you see your AI-Visibility score, competitor share, and one action brief. You can use the action brief to create or update the page that will close your citation gap. The Content Studio lets you generate one article (lifetime) based on your Brand DNA profile, so you can see exactly what a publish-ready, AI-optimized page looks like. Edits and revisions are available up to five times on the free plan.
If you want to run more scans, track more questions, or cover Google Gemini, you can upgrade to a paid plan at any time. Paid plans let you monitor progress, export reports, and generate bulk actions. For a full workflow overview, see AI Search Visibility Tool for Ecommerce & Agencies.
Why is SEOWedge’s free audit structured this way?
SEOWedge is built for ecommerce brands and agencies who need a fast, defensible answer to "do we show up in ChatGPT?" The free audit is designed to give you a real, actionable result without sales friction. By limiting the free scan to OpenAI (GPT) and one action brief, SEOWedge delivers a focused diagnosis and a clear next step, not just a teaser or a generic score.
This approach means you get a meaningful answer and a specific action, with no need to write prompts or configure questions. The same measurement method powers the paid plans, so upgrading simply expands the coverage and output, rather than changing the workflow.
What’s my next step if I want to run the free audit now?
Go to the signup page and enter your domain. No card is required. You’ll get your AI-Visibility score, competitor share, and one action brief within minutes. You can use these results to start closing your AI search gap immediately. For more on what to do with your result, see How to Run an AI Search Audit on an Ecommerce Site.
How this was tested
All numbers and features on this page are current as of 2026-08-12. The free audit samples OpenAI (GPT) answers via API, using five discovered buyer questions per scan. The audit records which brands and sources are named in answers, calculates an AI-Visibility score, and identifies the page-level gap. No prompts are required from the user: questions are discovered automatically from the domain’s category and market. The process and outputs are as described in the PRODUCT FACTS and WORKFLOW blocks above.

Questions buyers ask us
Does the free audit really require no credit card or payment details?
Correct. The free AI search audit requires no card, no payment, and no commitment. Enter your domain and get your result instantly. You can upgrade later if you want more scans or features.
What if my site is not being cited at all in AI answers?
The audit will show a zero AI-Visibility score and name the competitors who are being cited for your buyer questions. The action brief will explain why and show which page to create or fix. You can use the free article generation to start closing the gap.
Is my data or site content used for training or shared with others?
SEOWedge uses your public site to run the audit and does not share your data or content with other users. The scan process mirrors what AI assistants do when crawling and citing public pages. No private access or login is required.
Can I re-run the free audit or scan more domains?
The free plan allows one Lite Scan for a single domain, with one action brief and one article generation. To scan additional domains, run more scans, or track progress over time, you’ll need a paid plan.
Does the free audit cover Google AI Overviews or Gemini?
No, the free audit checks OpenAI (GPT) answers only. Google Gemini and AI Overviews are included on paid plans. For more on how Gemini and AI Overviews work, see How to Appear in Google AI Overviews.
How is the AI-Visibility score calculated?
The score is based on how often your brand is named or cited in answers to five discovered buyer questions, sampled from OpenAI (GPT) via API. Each answer is recorded and scored, so the result is reproducible and reflects what real buyers see in AI assistants.
