How to Run an AI Entity Footprint Audit for Your Local Business
AI-powered search systems increasingly build answers from information gathered across many different sources, not just a business’s website.
An AI Entity Footprint Audit looks at the public information surrounding your business to see how clearly and consistently it is represented across your website, Google Business Profile, reviews, directories, social profiles, press coverage, associations, and other third-party sources.
The goal of the audit is to understand whether the information available about your business is clear, consistent, credible, and strong enough to support how both people and machines understand who you are.
