description: A one-off report on how the brand shows up in AI answers for its market and the few changes most likely to get it cited.
---

A one-off diagnosis of whether AI assistants (Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and similar) name or cite the brand when buyers ask about its market, and why or why not. Maggie collects evidence from real answers, follows the sources those answers rely on, checks the brand's own pages, and returns one to three changes most likely to earn a mention or citation. Research broadly, recommend narrowly.

When to use

  • First baseline before any GEO / AEO work, or a quarterly re-check.
  • "Why do AI answers recommend X instead of us?"
  • After a rebrand, a pricing change or new positioning, to see what AI now says.
  • Before asking leadership to invest in AI visibility.

Not for: day-to-day score reading or live checks (cmo-ai-visibility), building a large prompt set (cmo-ai-prompt-research), working through third-party sources (cmo-ai-citation-gaps), rewriting a page (cmo-aeo-content), tracking claims over time (cmo-ai-brand-monitoring), robots.txt syntax and CDN rules (cmo-technical-seo) or whether AI agents can use the site's forms (cmo-agent-readiness).

What is the AI visibility audit skill?

A one-off report on how the brand shows up in AI answers for its market and the few changes most likely to get it cited.

It's one of cmo.so's open AI search skills: a SKILL.md file that tells an AI agent when to use it, what to ask you first, the steps to follow, the checks to pass and what to hand back, so the job is done the same careful way every time.

When should I use it?

Reach for it when you'd otherwise say something like “Run an AI visibility audit / GEO audit / AEO audit”, “Give me a baseline of how AI search treats our brand”, “Audit why ChatGPT and Perplexity leave us off their shortlists”. Your agent reads the skill's description and picks it for requests like these, so you don't need to name it.

If a request is close but not quite right, the skill says so and points to the related skill that fits better, instead of forcing a poor answer.

What do I need to give it?

It works best with brand name as people write it, website domain, what it sells and to whom; two to five main competitors; market (country and language); optional: AI answers the user collected themselves (pasted text with sources); and optional: a server or CDN log export, to see which pages AI assistants actually fetch.

You don't have to prepare everything up front. The skill asks for missing pieces one at a time and says plainly when it's working from an assumption instead of your data.

What do I get back?

You get a short audit report: where the brand stands, 1-3 prioritised recommendations with evidence, the sources AI cites in the market, what else was checked; and a prompt panel the user can keep watching.

Every result comes from a written method with a quality bar, so numbers name their source, claims are checked and the output is ready to use or share rather than a rough draft.

Is it free?

Yes. The skill is open source under the MIT licence, so you can use it, change it and share it, including for client work.

Seeing, copying and downloading the whole file on cmo.so needs a free sign-in. Copying also upvotes and saves it, so you can find it again under Saved on the skills page.

Which AI agents can use it?

Claude Code installs it from the cmo.so marketplace. Any agent that reads SKILL.md folders, such as Codex or Cursor, can use it once the folder is in its skills directory.

You can also paste the copied skill into ChatGPT, Claude or any assistant at the start of a conversation and ask it to follow the skill.

How do I install it?

In Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add AI-Marketing-OS-LTD/cmo-so-skills, then /plugin install cmo-so-ai-search@cmo-so. That installs this skill together with the rest of the AI search group.

For other agents, sign in, press Copy or Download above and put the file in your agent's skills folder as SKILL.md inside a folder named after the skill.

Do I need a cmo.so account to use it?

No. The skill works on its own with whatever your agent can already see and do: your files, the pages you share and the data you paste in.

With cmo.so connected it can go further, using tools such as ai_visibility_get, ai_visibility_prompts_list, ai_visibility_prompt_check, ai_visibility_prompt_result through the MCP server. Every change is previewed and confirmed before it happens.

Which skills work well with it?

It pairs well with AI visibility monitor; Answer-ready content (AEO); Technical SEO; and Agent readiness. The agent can hand over from one to the next in the same conversation, for example research first, then the plan, then the writing.

Each of them has its own page with what it needs and what it returns, linked below.

Can I change it to fit my business?

Yes. It's a plain Markdown file, so you can edit the steps, add your own checks and examples, and keep your version in your own repo. The MIT licence allows it.

If your change would help others too, suggest it on the skills page or open a pull request on GitHub, and it may be folded into the library for everyone.

Where does the method come from?

It's written by cmo.so and adapts open work by others, credited on this page: irinabuht12-oss/marketing-skills (none); AgriciDaniel/claude-seo (MIT); and coreyhaines31/marketingskills (MIT).

Only permissively licensed work is adapted; copyleft repos are used for ideas only and repos without a licence aren't used at all.

Is my data sent to cmo.so when the agent uses it?

No. The skill only guides your own agent; your files, documents and data stay wherever your agent and its tools keep them.

cmo.so only sees what you connect to cmo.so. Your votes and saves on this page are stored against your cmo.so sign-in.
