Questions about the audit
The questions worth answering before you'd buy it, including the one where the answer is still "we haven't decided" and the one where it's "no, and nobody else can either.
Answers taken from the product specification, with the unanswered ones marked unanswered rather than filled in. Commitments we are making, marked that way in the ledger.
How much does the audit cost?
We haven't set a price yet, so there isn't one on this site. When there is, it'll be here.
That's deliberate, not coy. A site that refuses unsourced numbers about other people's products shouldn't publish one about its own before the number exists.
Is there a subscription, or a free trial?
Neither. One payment, one report. No account to create, nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
No trial either, because it's a single document rather than a service you can sample.
What if my site is bigger than the page cap?
The crawl stops at the cap and you get a report marked partial, covering what it reached. We don't refund that, because the audit ran and you have a usable report.
The cap is published before you pay so you can decide in advance. The technical and entity findings hold across the rest of your site. The page-by-page findings only cover what we crawled.
What if the audit fails?
If we got no usable pages, your site was unreachable after you paid, or something broke on our end, you're refunded automatically and in full. The email tells you we did it. You don't have to ask.
How long do you keep my data?
We delete the copy of your site as soon as the audit finishes. The report and the email address you ordered with go after 30 days, or straight away if you use the deletion link in the email.
One caveat: our email provider keeps a copy of the message we sent you, report attached, for its own delivery troubleshooting. That's outside the 30 days we control.
Will this tell me how to rank first, or guarantee AI citations?
No, and no audit honestly can.
We report whether the documented conditions are met — whether a page can be crawled, read, quoted, and tied to a company a machine can identify. How any engine chooses between the sources it retrieved is published by nobody. A report promising you citations would be selling certainty that doesn't exist, which is exactly what buying services tells you to refuse from a vendor.
Who writes the review in the report?
Claude writes it, working from the copy of your site we downloaded rather than from general knowledge. The report labels it as AI-written.
Our editorial policy requires that disclosure, and it would be worth nothing if the product we sell quietly did otherwise.
Does the crawler obey my robots.txt?
No. We fetch it, we report on what's in it, and then we crawl anyway.
You're asking us to audit a site you own, and part of what you're paying for is finding out your own robots.txt is blocking Google or blocking GPTBot. We can't tell you that if the same file stops us looking. We stay polite about it — at most 2 requests at a time, 500 ms apart, backing off on 429 and 503 — and how it works explains the reasoning in full.
Only order an audit for a site you actually control.
When can I buy it?
Not yet. It's gated on a go-live checklist rather than a date, and nothing on this site will link to it until that passes.
The limits, with their source
Every figure above, recorded the way we record any figure — so a promise about our own product is held to the same standard as a claim about somebody else's.
Read the publisher line on each one. These are commitments we're making, not independent measurements. A promise from the seller is a different kind of claim from a platform documenting its own behavior, and you should weigh it differently.
The Optimization Audit report is delivered within 15 minutes for sites up to 500 pages.
First-party commitment, not an independent measurement. Taken from the product specification.
Each audit crawls up to 500 pages. The cap is stated before payment, and a crawl that reaches it is marked partial.
A partial crawl is not refunded, because the audit ran and produced a report.
Each audit is additionally capped at 1 GB downloaded and 10 minutes of crawling, whichever limit is reached first.
The audit crawler makes at most 2 requests at a time to one site, waits at least 500 ms between them, and backs off when a site returns 429 or 503.
The report and the email address used to order it are deleted after 30 days, or earlier on request from a link in the email. The downloaded copy of the audited site is deleted as soon as the audit finishes.

Give us a URL and an email, pay once, get a PDF. Here are the crawl limits, what happens if your site is bigger than them, and what happens if the audit fails.
What is in the report
Four groups of checks plus a written review of your actual pages, not generic advice. And a short answer on what happens to your data afterward.
