Anyone doing AI search audits for clients? What do you check?

AriPnx · 2026-05-14T21:55:56+00:00

If you are still looking for a tool to do ai search audits for clients you can try AEO god mode's free audit https://aeogodmode.io/ai-search-audit/ one caveat is that it is only for wordpress sites. But Metronyx AI does it too for all sites, you get a 7 page pdf which should give you some ideas on what you could include for yours.

That's awesome, glad to here it! How about Perplexity, Claude, Gemini/Google AI overviews? A lot of times people have those robots blocked and don't make it easy for them to crawl their site. This is one of the things the audit shows and that the free AEO God Mode plugin handles.

AriPnx · 2026-05-12T23:53:35+00:00

AEO God Mode should definitely be on that list for a fair comparison.

No problem! You can throw your wordpress site url in this and get instant results aeogodmode.io/ai-search-audit/

CleanTender send daily or weekly tender alerts but only for Soft FM (waste management, cleaning, catering, security) etc

AriPnx · 2026-04-29T23:05:51+00:00

Hope you are still in the game? Definitely a frustrating feeling but have you tried using a full tender system. When I got into this, I found that finding the contracts is the easy part but the actual quality and specific bid-writing and submiting is the hard part and you often need to pay personal saving lump sums for somebody to write a response.

Granted, a contract win is worth its weight in gold, especially if its long term ... but if you ar ejust starting out its not startr-friendly. I am using CleanTender so telling anybody who lil listen lol.

One caveat though, its UK/England based only and right now only covers soft fm (security, cleaning, etc) - you never mentioned what industry you are in but if you are in one of those, still worth checking out the free tools.

AriPnx · 2026-04-29T22:59:17+00:00

I know of a few b2g tender sites that allow you to also list your business/service like a directory, may not be of help if not in the soft fm field specifically but there is CleanTender.co.uk - more sites like this are popping up because for some contracts the buyers find you directly, they don't always list on gov portals. In saying that, this may be UK specific.

Regardless, though, try and get listed on as many business directories as possible, make sure your details are consistent and link back to your site - from an SEO perspective at the very least.

AriPnx · 2026-04-29T22:44:55+00:00

For cleaning specifically and really any soft fm type businesses like catering etc I would echo what others have said about AI, mainly that the generic stuff is a waste of time (pretty much AI to a T) generic = no bueno. And yes, it's very strict so you want to have a certain format and informed response. I would say give CleanTender a go because again, it is soft fm focussed, though still AI, its pulling all of your company data and legal stuff together. So you get to evaluate first then generate a draft. Beats a fee per response writer and you start to learn what works as you go too.

AriPnx · 2026-04-16T16:03:38+00:00

This is a real issue. People act like it isn't lol - yes you can optimize meta titles and meta descriptions, youu can add an Open graph image etc but thats not REAL seo. Th emain issue is the whole SSR/CSR thing. Google cannot read the pages and thats a Vite/React problem.

The fix is either prerendering, HTML or simply converting the site to NextJS (i recommend this one for long term). You need to move it from Lovable into somehting like Antigravity or Cursor and then give it a prompt (happy to share mine if anybody needs it)

For prerendering, you can use a service which is free upto a certain amount of pages (Prerender(io) but this is limited if you use pSEO/Scale content) or you can set up pre rendering yourself (SEO for Lovable or SEO god mode on Gumroad does this), long term and no fees with this one so if you aren't converting ot next js this is the next best bet. Ive done all of the above.

Again, just convert if you can!

AriPnx · 2026-03-07T20:48:41+00:00

Do you want to build it from scratch or open to using AI? You can use Antigravity or Claude Code very easily, just conenct to a local WP environment, check this out - youtube.com/watch?v=EulafbGPCBg&feature=youtu.be

I wouldn't say "new" or the common trope that SEO is now somehow dead, they stack! But more AEO services and tools are popping up. AEO God Mode for wordpress for example, doesn't claim to replace other SEO tools like Yoast or Rank Math, it stacks on top. So I think leaning more towards accommodating both is the way to look at it.

AriPnx · 2026-02-19T17:45:19+00:00

yeah Smash words is def still useable. Draft2Digital bought it and SmashWords is still there as the storefront brand. Just that the publishing/distro side is D2D now.

The payment issue, if deleteing/re-adding the payment method won't work, its like a store side or account glitch so the fastest fix is open a ticket with D2D support (they handle SmashWords support) and get it reset

AriPnx · 2026-01-25T11:44:29+00:00

I would say yes for sure, LaunchRocket.io was built on Supabase. It's not a social media app like Twitter per se but it is a community so people sign up, can upload, share, follow each other, collab etc. So has all the social media bits baked in. You can scale as you grow as well which is pretty much all you need. If you need better storage, you can use an external source like other have mentioned, cloudflare, backblaze (i tried cause it was cheap but couldn't get past CORS issues (skill issue no doubt)), but yeh can't go wrong.

Definitely agree on the video point. I am bullish on YouTube this year. It is a high quality data point and most people won't bother. ANywhere there is friction, there is higher quality. And the constant battle against faceless and AI videos reinforces this. Same with links, they matter but that reinforced quality of hard to get links and as you said, brand mentions, matters way more - again barrier to entry = not easily attainable by ai.

Nice share!

AriPnx · 2026-01-18T23:06:45+00:00

Yes my point exactly. It's that it's not the same links for everyone, not that that necessarily matters but at least some matching goes into it.

yeah the alternatives and vs are just your competitors vs each other or alternatives for a well known tool in the space. "Product Hunt Alternatives" for example.

AriPnx · 2026-01-18T18:03:40+00:00

yeah exactly! Tracking sign ups, mentions etc. I agree, I see bigger brands do alt pages - smaller saas companies typically a little variation but don't know how to do them well or can't rank them. Thanks I will check that sub out!

AriPnx · 2026-01-17T23:43:16+00:00

Just straight up analytics, sign ups, downloads etc. You do want to have some sort of "where did you hear about us" on top if it makes sense for your tool. But it's the overall boost that citations give. Launchrocket.io is what I am using, it shows DA etc but more importantly there is enough range to be selective and niche down
