For a Bay Area tech company, an SEO audit that only looks at Google rankings covers half the picture. Your buyers are also asking ChatGPT and Perplexity which tools to consider, and the answers they get shape the shortlist before anyone visits your site.
My audits cover both, and they're built to be acted on: a ranked plan, not a data dump.
What I look at
- Pipeline pages: do your comparison, alternatives, integration, use-case and pricing pages exist, rank and convert?
- Technical health on modern stacks: rendering on Next.js or React, subdomains for docs and blogs, indexed app or staging pages, internal linking between marketing site and docs.
- Content overlap: pages competing with each other, content debt from past pivots, and gaps.
- Competitors your buyers actually compare you to, not a generic list.
- Authority: backlinks, mentions on the publications and listicles your buyers read, and G2-style review presence.
- AI visibility: share of mentions and citations across category and comparison prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI, measured with PromptRush. More on AI SEO in San Francisco.
- Measurement: whether you can connect organic to signups, demos and pipeline.
What you get
- An executive summary your CEO can read in five minutes.
- A ranked roadmap with impact, effort and owner.
- Tickets your engineers can pick up.
- A working session with your marketing and product leads, in person when I'm in San Francisco.
When Bay Area teams ask for one
- Before a fundraise, to show a credible organic plan.
- Before hiring an SEO lead or agency.
- After a traffic or signup drop.
- Before a relaunch or rebrand.
- When AI assistants describe the product wrong.
