Your SEO skills are the foundation. Add the AI layer on top.
If you consult on search, your clients are already asking about AI visibility, and the market is about to sort consultants into two groups: those who answer with an opinion, and those who answer with a measurement. The skills you already have (technical audits, content strategy, log-file literacy) are precisely the foundation this work needs. What is missing is the instrumentation, and building it yourself means wiring four engine APIs, replicate logic, log parsing, and bot verification before you bill your first hour.
Answerworthy is that instrumentation, priced so an independent can carry it: free to start with the full readiness scan, a one-time $50 baseline audit for a complete measured write-up of one brand, and Pro at $97/mo for the full weekly measurement loop.
Turn “AEO audit” into a concrete deliverable
The scan and the 91-check audit give you a baseline deliverable with real substance: can AI crawlers reach the site, does the content survive in raw HTML, is the schema valid and substantive, what do robots.txt and llms.txt actually say, and which of the client’s target questions do they currently win across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Every finding carries evidence and a fix recipe, so your proposal writes itself from the audit: the findings, the work they imply, and the re-check that will prove the work landed.
That last clause is your differentiation. Answerworthy re-checks shipped fixes and marks them verified only when the re-measurement confirms them, which lets you sell outcomes with receipts instead of activity reports.
Look like a bigger shop than you are
- Measurement that survives a skeptical client. Stated replicate counts, statistically gated alerts, and OBSERVED vs INFERRED tags on every claim. When a client questions a number, you show the stored engine responses behind it.
- Reports without report-writing weekends. Baseline and executive-monthly PDFs render from live data, with the methodology appendix included.
- Generated artifacts you can ship. Validated JSON-LD, an authored llms.txt, and content briefs targeted at questions the client is losing, each grounded in evidence about who wins that answer today.
- A fix list that keeps the retainer honest. One prioritized backlog per brand, so monthly scope discussions start from ranked evidence, not from whatever is loudest.
Grow without switching platforms
Start with a $50 baseline audit for your anchor client, then Pro for the weekly loop on that brand. When the practice grows into a proper roster, the Agency plan adds a seat per client brand ($78 per brand seat/mo, 5-seat minimum) with client-safe sharing boundaries and PDF reporting ready to carry your branding. Same platform, same methodology, no migration, and the methodology itself is public and teachable, which means every client conversation is also a credibility conversation.
The fastest way to evaluate it costs nothing: run the free scan on your own site, then on a client’s. If the findings are useful, the platform will be.
