What it is
You build a tool where a website owner enters a URL and gets an audit of how well AI assistants and AI search results can understand and cite their pages. The tool crawls the site, flags issues such as missing FAQ markup or unclear authorship, and explains each one in plain language. It then gives fix steps for WordPress, Webflow or Shopify and can generate the structured data code to paste in. Later versions add a chat helper and a check that asks AI tools questions to see whether the site gets mentioned. Free users get one audit, and paid plans show the full list of fixes.
The problem it solves
People now ask ChatGPT and similar tools for recommendations, and small site owners cannot tell whether their business gets mentioned. Tools built for SEO professionals are heavy, expensive and full of jargon. A solo founder or shop owner wants one clear list of what to change, in plain words, without learning SEO first.
Who it suits
- SEO freelancers or marketers who can explain things simply
- Builders who can ship a first version on no-code plus AI
- Creators who already teach online marketing to an audience
How it makes money
- Free plan with one audit
- Starter plan at $15 a month with unlimited audits and fix templates
- Pro plan at $49 a month with a structured data generator and visibility checks
- Agency plan at $199 a month for up to 25 domains with white-label reports
How to test it this month
- 1Write a checklist of 15 things you can verify on a web page, then run it by hand on ten friends' sites and send reports.
- 2Ask the ten which fixes they actually made, and whether they would pay for a monthly re-check. That answer decides what you automate first.
- 3Turn the checklist into a simple form with AI explanations, publish a free single audit, and post three before and after examples as proof.
What to watch out for
Nobody outside the AI companies knows exactly what makes an assistant mention a website, so some of your advice will be educated guesses. Selling it as a guaranteed ranking trick would lose trust fast. Answers from AI tools also vary between queries, which makes an honest visibility tracker hard to build. Say what is checked and what is theory.
