AI-Ready SEO Audit · 47 Checks · 6 Pillars · $499

The 47-Point AI-Ready SEO Audit Methodology

This is the exact audit I run on every ModernWebSEO project. 47 checks across six pillars — Technical SEO, Schema.org, Entity Optimization, AEO, GEO, and Distribution & Authority. Built for the era where Google AI Overviews and answer engines decide who gets cited and who gets buried.

Most audits I've seen ship a 200-item checklist that nobody reads. This one is curated down to 47 checks because each one has to earn its slot — every check below has shipped a measurable change on at least one of my own portfolio sites.

Deliverables

What You Receive

Four concrete artifacts. Delivered in 5-7 business days from kickoff. Fixed price $499 USD, no scope creep, no hourly billing.

PDF audit report

A 25-40 page report scoring your site against every one of the 47 checks, with screenshots, evidence, and severity ratings.

Loom walkthrough video

I walk you through the report on screen, explain why each finding matters, and answer questions in voice — usually 25-45 minutes.

Prioritized action list

A single ranked list of fixes, ordered by impact-vs-effort, so you know exactly what to ship first if you only have one week.

30 days of follow-up

Email access for 30 days after delivery. If a finding is unclear or the recommendation isn't working in your stack, I respond personally.

Scope

What This Audit Is Not

Setting expectations up front saves both of us a refund conversation. Here's what the $499 audit explicitly does not include.

Link building

We map your backlink profile and flag toxic links, but acquisition campaigns aren't part of this audit.

Content writing

I'll tell you which pages need rewriting and what the brief should look like, but I don't ghostwrite blog posts at this price point.

Ongoing retainer

This is a one-time deliverable. If you want monthly check-ins, that's a different engagement.

Code implementation

The audit produces specs, not commits. If you need someone to ship the fixes, that's a separate Venture Builder engagement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I receive from the AI-Ready SEO Audit?
A 25-40 page PDF audit report scoring your site on all 47 checks, a 25-45 minute Loom walkthrough video where I explain every finding, a prioritized action list ordered by impact-vs-effort, and 30 days of email follow-up.
What is NOT included in the audit?
Link building campaigns, content writing, ongoing retainers, and code implementation are not part of the audit. The deliverable is specs and recommendations — not shipped code.
How long does the audit take?
Typically 5-7 business days from kickoff to delivery, depending on site size. Programmatic SEO sites with 1,000+ pages may take 10 business days.
What if I find issues but don't have a team to fix them?
If you'd rather not run the implementation yourself, I offer a separate Venture Builder engagement where I ship the fixes. The audit ($499) is a self-contained deliverable; the Venture Builder partnership is priced per scope.
Why 47 checks and not 30 or 100?
47 is what the audit currently scopes — every pillar's count is tuned so we cover what Google ranks for in 2024-2026 without over-auditing. The number will evolve as Google's ranking signals evolve.
