Key takeaways

What is an AI visibility audit?

A one off measurement of whether AI engines name a company when buyers ask category questions, who is named instead, and which sources those answers cite. It is bought before a retainer, so the retainer decision can be made against evidence.

How was this list scored?

On eight criteria checkable on each company's own site, with the published price, the turnaround and the refund terms of the one off audit itself given in each row rather than the retainer behind it.

What does an audit cost?

The table records the source and date for each published price. Check that source before buying. Choose Answer Repair for one completed page or fix, or Agency Deadline Audit for a white-label client report and one paste-ready change. Both entries are $490. Answer Repair is due 48 elapsed hours after recorded Ready; agency findings are due within 48 hours of recorded scope confirmation. Both have a full 30-day refund right. Read /pricing and the versioned /terms for the complete scope.

What should an audit hand over?

The response text as the engine returned it, the engine that returned it, the date and time it ran, and every source it cited, wins and losses alike. An audit that hands over a score and a slide deck cannot be checked or re-run.

Is Broadcastwell on this list?

Broadcastwell publishes this comparison and sells Answer Operations services in this market. We exclude ourselves from the scored tables. Read the dated sources and scope for each provider.

The audit at no cost problem

Most firms in this category lead with an audit at no cost. An audit at no cost is a sales asset, so its scope is set by what makes a good sales conversation rather than by what makes a defensible measurement. Of the firms read for this page, the free offers publish no question count, no run count and no engine list, and none of them hands over the observed answers.

Our Free 10-question check uses one engine and needs no email. Its scope differs from paid implementation and the agency report. Compare the deliverable, evidence, clock and refund term.

Choose Answer Repair for one completed page or fix, or Agency Deadline Audit for a white-label client report and one paste-ready change. Both entries are $490. Answer Repair is due 48 elapsed hours after recorded Ready; agency findings are due within 48 hours of recorded scope confirmation. Both have a full 30-day refund right. Read /pricing and the versioned /terms for the complete scope.

Fix Sprint is $3,900 ($3,410 after the $490 entry is credited, once). Its six contracted pages or rewrites over 30 days include the credited entry page. One primary test is agreed before payment and re-measured at day 30. Measured gain on that test, or the full $3,900 back. You keep the work.

How we scored

Every cell below was read on each company's own site on 15 September 2026. Reviews were read on Clutch for every company, and on G 2 where G 2 allowed the read, on 16 September 2026. Facts rechecked on 25 September 2026 say so where they appear. Where a company does not publish something, the cell says No rather than guessing. The companies are listed alphabetically. Nobody on this page is ranked, and the publisher is not scored.

Method

Method published, and at least one complete question set public: a study dataset, an index, a public sample or a named case.

Open data

Open data published with a DOI.

Engines

Engine coverage stated by name.

Price

Entry price published and buyable without a call.

Refund

Refund or guarantee terms published.

B2B cases

Named B2B software case studies on the site.

Reviews

Third party reviews, with the count.

Machine readable

The buyer's own AI can read the results, through an account, an export or a connector.

Yes means a reader can verify it on the company's own site. Partial means part of it is published, for example a price that is published but sold only through a call. No means the company's own site does not publish it. For the method criterion, Yes means the method is published and at least one complete question set is public, in a study dataset, an index, a public sample or a named case; Partial means a method is described but no question set is public; No means neither.

Read on each company's own site on 15 September 2026. Prices shown are the one off audit price where one is published, not the retainer behind it. Reviews were read on 16 September 2026, on Clutch for every company and on G2 where G2 allowed the read, and each cell names the platform behind its count. Citant Method and Open data were rechecked on 23 October 2026 and are now Yes: its public method, complete 50-question CSV and Zenodo dataset v 1.4 meet these two criteria. The source links and dates appear in its entry. Other cells retain their original dates.

About the publisher

Broadcastwell publishes this list and sells Answer Operations. We do not score ourselves here. Read the two $490 entry scopes and the full ladder on our pricing page. Prices and terms. Our methodology. Three named client accounts. We do not claim a third-party review score here.

How to choose

How to choose: criteria, what good looks like, and the red flag
CriterionWhat good looks likeThe red flag
MethodThe method is on the site, versioned and dated, and at least one complete question set is public, so a second party could repeat the run.A named framework with no question set, no sample size and no rule for what counts as a mention.
DataThe underlying research is published openly with a DOI and a stated limitations section.A headline percentage with no dataset, no denominator and no link.
EnginesThe engines are named, and the report separates them rather than folding them into one score.The site says AI search, LLMs or answer engines and never names one.
PriceAn entry price is printed on the site and can be paid without a call.Custom quote only, or a price that is printed but still needs a sales call to act on.
RefundRefund or guarantee terms are published, with the condition that would trigger them.A money back guarantee with no timeframe, no condition and no eligibility rule.
CasesNamed clients in your own category, with the measurement described rather than only the outcome.Results attributed to a B2B tech client or a fintech client with no name attached.
ReviewsA third party review profile with the count visible.A rating quoted on the company's own site with no link to the profile behind it.
Machine readableThe observed answers, their engines, their dates and their sources land somewhere your own AI can read.A monthly slide deck, and nothing your systems can query.

The eight criteria are not a ranking of quality. They are the eight things a buyer can check in an afternoon without talking to anyone, and they are the eight things that decide whether a claim can be argued with later. A firm that publishes its question set can be told it asked the wrong questions. A firm that publishes nothing can only be believed or not believed.

The single most useful question to ask any firm on this page is how the questions were written. AI answers to questions that already contain a company name will usually contain that name, so a mention count built on name seeded questions measures the prompt rather than the engine. Broadcastwell published that finding against its own category research, and it is the reason no question in a Category Audit names any brand.

The second most useful question is what happens when the runs disagree. AI answers vary between runs and shift as models update, so a single screenshot is not a measurement. Ask how many runs sit behind a figure, and whether the disagreement between them is reported or averaged away.
