// How it works
Evidence first. Then the fixes.
No long sales calls and no jargon. You see proof before you spend anything, then a plain-English plan after. Here's exactly how a Renownly audit runs, and the method behind it.
The three steps
From "am I even visible?" to a plan you can action.
The Snapshot
We run one or two of the questions your clients actually ask, across the major AI assistants, then send you the result. That includes who gets named instead of you. No cost, no card, no call. Delivered within two working days.
The 48-hour Audit
For a flat £149, we test eight high-intent queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, each run five times. We also check your foundations: Google Business Profile, ICAEW/ACCA listing, reviews and schema markup.
Three fixes + walkthrough
You get a six-to-ten-page plain-English report and a 20-minute walkthrough. It covers where you stand, who's winning your queries, and the three highest-impact fixes, ready to hand to your web person.
What's in the audit
A real deliverable, not a dashboard login.
Built around the questions your prospects ask, and the signals the AIs actually use to choose who to recommend.
- ✓Visibility across all four engines. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, tested separately, because being visible in one doesn't mean visible in the others.
- ✓The visibility matrix. Every query against every engine, scored Named / Competitor named / Not named, with the position and the sources cited where we can see them.
- ✓The competitor map. Which firms get named instead of you, and the specific signals they have that you don't.
- ✓Your foundations scorecard. Google Business Profile, schema markup, NAP consistency, ICAEW/ACCA/AAT listings, reviews, AI-crawler access, and entity presence.
- ✓Three prioritised fixes. Quick win, medium, strategic. Plain English, firm-specific, with the "why", ready to action.
- ✓A 20-minute walkthrough. We talk you through it so you know exactly what to do next.
The method
Why we run every query several times, and date everything.
AI answers are non-deterministic. Ask the same question twice and you can get two different answers, so we don't take a single screenshot and call it the truth.
// multi-run
Each query, run five times
We run every query five times per engine, report the consensus, and note the variance. If you're named in three runs out of five, we say so. We don't round it up.
// dated
Every result is stamped with a date
An AI answer is a snapshot of a moving target. Every finding in your report is dated at the time of testing, so you and your team know exactly how current it is.
// verbatim vs proxy
We tell you how each engine was tested
Some engines we query verbatim; others we assess by proxy where direct access isn't possible. We list which is which in your report, so nothing is presented as more certain than it is.
// real queries
The questions your clients actually ask
We don't test vanity terms. We use high-intent, local, service-specific queries like "best accountant for IT contractors in Leeds", built around your services and patch.
// AI assistants are operated by third parties and their behaviour changes without notice. Figures and answers are indicative and dated at the time of testing. See the method applied at scale in our UK Accountancy AI-Visibility Report 2026, or learn how AI decides which accountant to recommend.
Where we draw the line
The honest bit, said plainly.
We never guarantee rankings or recommendations.
AI assistants are run by third parties on systems that change without notice. Anyone promising a guaranteed spot in ChatGPT or an AI Overview is guessing. We show you where you stand today and the fixes most likely to help. We report and advise; we don't promise rankings, recommendations, traffic or revenue.
You can verify everything yourself.
The Snapshot is free precisely so you don't have to trust a pitch. Ask the AI the same question and check our finding. We lead with evidence on purpose.
No lock-in, ever.
Buy a one-off audit and never hear a sales pitch again. The optional monitoring plan is rolling, so you can leave whenever you like.
