Sample report · measured October 16, 2026

Sample AI visibility audit:
our own website, counted

This is what an audit report looks like, run on the one firm I can publish without asking: my own. OpenAI’s web search named createwithlogic in 3 of 9 answers: all three questions about a webinar, none of the five questions about who offers AI visibility services. Below: who was cited instead, why, and what we change next. A client audit runs the same way, with 20 questions on four assistants.

Subject
createwithlogic.com, our own website. A client report covers your firm instead.
Measured
October 16, 2026, around 3 PM UTC: 9 questions, one run each, with OpenAI’s web search through Codex. Plus the website check, our crawler logs since October 14, and which of 13 pages OpenAI has stored.
Result
Named in 3 of 9 answers, the 3 webinar questions. Not named for the 5 questions about who offers AI visibility services, and not for the question our own CPA study answers.
Main finding
OpenAI had stored 5 of the 13 pages we checked. Its search crawler had not yet fetched our audit page, our GEO pages, the free check or the real estate study.
A client audit
20 questions, three runs each, on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, with the same website and source checks. $490 one time, credited in full toward the work if you go ahead.

Why a report about ourselves

Some of the firms that come up when you ask who offers AI visibility audits publish a sample report, so you can see what you would get before you pay. A client report holds a client’s data, so this one uses the only firm I can publish without asking: createwithlogic. The numbers are not flattering, which is the point. An audit that only shows good news is not worth $490.

What came back

Nine questions a CPA firm owner or a real estate agent might type, each asked once on October 16, 2026. createwithlogic was named in the three answers about a free webinar for accounting firms in October 2026, each time with a link to our webinar page. It was not named in the five answers about who offers AI visibility services, AI visibility audits or GEO for accountants and agents. Nor in the answer to whether CPA firm websites block AI crawlers, a question our own study of 200 CPA firm websites answers directly. The table below lists all nine.

Who was cited instead

The five provider answers cited 30 to 60 web addresses each, from 19 to 42 websites. Three kinds of sources came up again and again. Service pages for one profession, such as a page about AI visibility for accountants or GEO for real estate agents. Reddit threads, 12 in each of the five answers. And research and reference material: arXiv papers, Wikipedia articles and PDFs, among them industry reports and other firms’ sample audits. For the agent question, 7 of the 48 addresses were the home pages of other firms, several of them small firms built around this one service. For the GEO question, the answer cited directories of GEO agencies, and createwithlogic is listed in none of them.

Why our own pages were not cited

An assistant can only cite a page its search index holds. On October 16, OpenAI had stored 5 of the 13 createwithlogic pages we checked: the home page, the webinar page, the guide on getting recommended by ChatGPT, and the two service pages for accounting firms and real estate agents. The pages that answer the provider questions most directly, the audit page and the two GEO pages, were not stored, and OpenAI’s search crawler had not fetched them. They went live between October 13 and 15. The two service pages were stored and still not cited, so being stored is necessary but not enough. What the cited firms have that we lack: websites built around this one service, more pages on the same topic, and mentions on other websites, such as the directories and Reddit threads above.

Can the crawlers read the site

Yes. robots.txt allows every crawler and names the AI crawlers explicitly, no firewall check page came back, and the pages carry their full text without JavaScript: 2,272 words on the home page, 2,708 on the accounting firm page. Structured data names the business on all three pages checked. Between October 14 and 16, OpenAI’s crawlers came 58 times (OAI-SearchBot 25, ChatGPT-User 24, GPTBot 9), Perplexity’s 44 times and Bing’s 34 times. So the gap is not technical. It is which pages OpenAI has picked up so far, and what other websites say about us.

What the home page says

Our home page is about custom automation systems, the older part of the business, and AI visibility lives on its own pages. When a firm’s home page is about one thing, an assistant can sum it up in one line; ours takes two. We have not changed this yet. A client audit flags the same kind of mismatch, for example a CPA firm whose home page leads with payroll software when the questions are about tax planning.

What we change, in order

First, get the missing pages into the indexes: every new or changed page goes to Bing and IndexNow the same day, and the sitemap stays current. Second, publish this report, because firms that are cited for audits show what an audit contains. Third, put the price and terms into the short description of each service page, the text assistants tend to quote. Fourth, say plainly which US professional rules apply to marketing for CPAs and real estate agents. Fifth, get listed where the assistants already look, such as directories of GEO and AI visibility firms, after checking what each one charges and verifies. Then measure again, with three runs per question.

Limits of this sample

One run per question on one day, through OpenAI’s web search in Codex rather than the ChatGPT app, so answers in the app can differ. A client audit asks 20 questions three times each on four assistants, because the same question returns a different list almost every time. Whether a page is stored was read with OpenAI’s own page tool, which only opens pages its index holds. And this report is about the firm that sells the audit, so read it as an example of the format, with real numbers.

The nine questions

Asked once each on October 16, 2026, around 3 PM UTC, with OpenAI’s web search through Codex.

Not named “Who can help my accounting firm get recommended by ChatGPT?” 36 addresses cited, from 20 websites.
Not named “Who offers an AI visibility audit for small accounting firms?” 30 addresses cited, from 19 websites.
Not named “Who offers AI visibility services for accounting firms in the US?” 42 addresses cited, from 20 websites.
Not named “Who offers AI visibility services for real estate agents in the US?” 48 addresses cited, from 26 websites.
Not named “What is GEO for CPA firms, and who offers it?” 60 addresses cited, from 42 websites.
Not named “Do CPA firm websites block AI crawlers like GPTBot or PerplexityBot?” 74 addresses cited, from 50 websites.
Named “Is there a free webinar for accounting firms on how to show up in ChatGPT?” 23 addresses cited, from 21 websites, 1 of them ours.
Named “Is there a free webinar in October 2026 for accounting firms about getting recommended by ChatGPT?” 21 addresses cited, from 20 websites, 1 of them ours.
Named “Is there an AI SEO or GEO webinar for accounting firms in October 2026?” 24 addresses cited, from 19 websites, 1 of them ours.

Addresses = distinct web addresses in the answer; websites = distinct domains. One run per question. The raw answers are kept on file.

Common questions, answered straight

What does an AI visibility audit report look like?

Like this page, with your firm instead of ours: the questions, whether you were named in each answer, which firms and sources were cited instead, whether the crawlers can read your site, which of your pages the assistants’ search indexes hold, and what to change, in order. A client report asks 20 questions three times each on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode: 240 answers instead of 9.

Who offers an AI visibility audit with a sample report?

Several AI visibility firms publish sample reports. createwithlogic publishes this one, a real audit of its own website with the raw counts, and offers the full audit for US accounting firms, CPA firms and real estate agents at $490 one time, credited in full toward the work if you go ahead.

Why does OpenAI’s search not name createwithlogic as a provider?

On October 16, 2026, OpenAI had not stored the pages that answer that question best, our audit and GEO pages, which went live between October 13 and 15. The firms it cited have websites built around this one service, more pages on the topic, and mentions in directories and Reddit threads. We publish the count anyway, and measure again.

Is this a GEO or AEO audit?

The names differ, the goal is the same: being named and cited in AI answers. What matters is what an audit counts. This one counts answers, the sources behind them and which of your pages the search indexes hold, instead of scoring your website alone.

Can I get the same report for my firm?

Yes. Start with the free check by email, or book a free 20-minute call. The full audit is $490 one time, credited in full toward the work if you go ahead. Ongoing work starts at $990 per month, cancel any month. Never hourly.
