Offer · the audit
Ten working days. The baseline, the firms recommended instead of you, and a 90-day roadmap you keep.
KS Media's AI visibility audit costs £1,500, a fixed fee credited in full against the first month of the programme, and takes ten working days. It measures whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers name your engineering firm for the questions your buyers ask, records who is named instead and why, checks the technical and entity signals underneath, and ends in a 90-day roadmap sequenced by speed to first enquiry.
The market splits into three bands. What separates them is whether a person wrote the prompts for your sector, and whether you get the screenshots or just a score.
| Band | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Automated report | Under £500 | A tool runs a generic prompt set against your brand name and exports a score. No sector prompts, no screenshots. |
| Hand-run fixed fee | £800 to £1,800 | Prompts written for your sector, a screenshot of every answer, a competitor teardown and a roadmap. Ours is £1,500, credited against month one. |
| Enterprise programme | £2,000 to £5,000 | Multi-brand, multi-market, hundreds of prompts and ongoing dashboards. Right for a group with several trading names. |
Each prompt gets a window like this one. This example is from a public sample run on 9 September 2026, with the firms described rather than named. In your audit, they are named.

The top results are seven independent repair firms, each through its own service page, plus one public tender notice. No trade magazine, no directory and no published case study appears.
ObservedEvery firm named is describing itself. Nothing independent corroborates any of them, and a firm without a ranking page of its own is absent.
Search results sampled 9 Sep 2026; assistant answers draw on these sources; full method on /how-we-measure.
A run is a sample on a fixed date, not what any individual buyer was shown, and the teardown carries nothing about a competitor that is not public. The full list is on how we measure.
E-commerce, consumer brands, social media management, branding-only projects and review management, permanently. Nor a firm with no capability page to point an assistant at. The fit list is on who we work with.

Straight answers
In the UK in September 2026 the published prices for an AI visibility audit run from about £500 for a largely automated report to £1,800 for a fixed-fee hand-run audit, with pricing guides quoting £2,000 to £5,000 for larger engagements and enterprise work above that. Our audit is a fixed £1,500, credited in full against month one if you continue into the programme, and the programme runs from £1,500 a month with a quarterly exit.
An AI visibility audit measures whether AI assistants name your company when buyers ask them buying questions, records who is named instead, and diagnoses why. It combines a fixed battery of buyer prompts run through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers with a technical check of crawler access, structured data and entity consistency, and ends in a prioritised roadmap.
Ten working days for the full audit, presented live at the end. The free five-prompt snapshot that comes before it takes three working days and needs nothing from you beyond telling us what you make, build or fix.
The five-prompt snapshot is free. The full audit is paid, deliberately. An agency that audits for free has exactly one way to get paid, which is selling you the retainer regardless of what the audit found. A paid audit can afford to tell you a channel will not work for you. Ours is credited in full against month one if you continue.
A baseline with a screenshot of every answer, a competitor teardown naming who is recommended instead of you and why, a technical findings list covering crawler access, schema and entity consistency, a demand check on your capability terms, and a 90-day roadmap sequenced by speed to first enquiry. It is presented live and it is yours to keep whether you continue or not.
Then it says so, and you keep the roadmap. If your firm is already named on most of the prompts, the honest advice is to protect that position with a light monthly check rather than buy a programme. The audit is priced so that we can afford to say that.
Before the audit
Five real buyer questions, screenshots back within three working days, no call required. If it shows you are already winning, we will say so and the audit is not for you.
