Free AEO audit.See what AI says about you before you spend a dollar.
A diagnostic, not a pitch deck. We run the questions your buyers ask, record what the engines say, scan the technical side, and tell you what we find.
- Real prompts, real responses
- Technical scan included
- An honest recommendation
An AEO audit is a free diagnostic where operators run your buyers' real questions against the major answer engines, scan your site's technical health, and give a plain recommendation on whether the work is worth doing. Perfectus Labs delivers it before any contract.
AEO Audit
Most audits are a report generator plus a sales call. This one starts with actual answers: we ask the engines the questions your buyers ask and show you what came back, including who got named instead of you.
Alongside that we run the technical scan, so you know whether the problem is that nobody can read your site, that nothing worth citing exists on it, or that a competitor simply got there first.
Then we tell you which of those is costing you the most, and whether it's worth paying anyone, us included, to fix it this quarter.
Four steps, every month.
Agree the questions
The handful of questions that decide deals in your category.
Run the engines
Real prompts across the major answer engines, with the responses and sources recorded.

What's costing you most, what it would take, and whether now is the right time.

If you've already decided and want to start, skip the audit and start the program. The first thirty days include all of this.
Free, with no obligation. The program itself is month to month, thirty days notice.
From $1,500 a month.
- Tier 1 from $1,500 / month
- Tier 2 from $2,500 / month
- Tier 3 from $3,500 / month
- One-time $1,000 setup, month to month after that
A dashboard, updated regularly. A report, every week.
Prompt-level citation movement, everything shipped tied to the branch it targeted, what it changed, and what's next. Including the parts that didn't move and what we're doing differently because of it.
The rest of the same program.
Each one is included in Cognos, running on the same engine and reporting into the same monthly document.
Before you ask us.
Is the audit really free?
Yes. Every engagement starts with it, and there's no obligation to continue.
What happens if we go ahead?
The audit becomes the plan for your Cognos program, and everything it flagged is covered inside it: technical work, entity and schema, content, business profile, press, citation targeting, and tracking are included in every tier.
How soon does work start if we go ahead?
Kickoff happens within a week of signature. The first thirty days are the setup: technical baseline, fan-out map, entity graph, and the publishing plan.
How long does it take?
Three to five business days from the point we agree the question list.
Will you tell us not to buy?
Regularly. If the gap isn't costing you enough to justify the spend, saying so is worth more to us than a short contract.
Bring us the number you're trying to move.
We run the audit, then map your first thirty days against it.
