Common questions

What buyers need to know first.

Clear answers for leaders who want more qualified demand—and a practical path from diagnosis to action.

What should I do to get new clients from my online assets in 2026? −

Start by finding the point where potential customers lose you: search visibility, AI visibility, crawler access, weak proof, or a confusing conversion path. We identify the highest-value gap first, then give your team a practical sequence of fixes—not another dashboard to manage.

How do I know if my business shows up in AI search? +

Search the prompts your buyers use in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini, then record whether your brand is named, cited and described accurately. Visibility testing is separate from technical crawler-access testing: a site can be accessible without being selected as an answer.

Why isn't my business showing up in AI answers? +

Your site may be technically blocked, difficult to interpret, inconsistent across the web, weakly evidenced, or simply less useful than competing sources. An AI Access Audit establishes whether crawler access is part of the problem and gives your developer prioritised remediation.

Do I need an AI crawler access audit or a broader AI visibility audit? +

Choose an access audit when you need to know whether AI retrieval systems can reach your public content and what your developer should fix. Choose broader visibility work when access is sound and you need to assess prompts, mentions, citations, competitors and content opportunities.

What does the AI Access Audit deliver? +

A human-reviewed report covering declared crawler policy, access observed by Digital Dominator's identified audit crawler, affected layers and URLs, prioritised developer-ready remediation, and the scope-specific next step. The Full Audit also includes deeper technical analysis and a re-check after fixes.

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO? +

SEO improves visibility in search results. AEO helps content become a direct answer. GEO improves the likelihood that a brand or source is represented in generative answers. They overlap, but crawler access, clear entities, useful content and credible evidence remain shared foundations.

How much does an AI Access Audit cost? +

The AI Access Check is A$495 or US$349. The Full AI Access Audit is A$1,195 or US$799. Both are fixed-price, human-reviewed services for teams that want a clear answer and an actionable developer brief. Compare the two audits.

Do you work with organisations outside Australia? +

Yes. The audit is delivered remotely for organisations in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and other international markets. You provide the website at checkout and the report is delivered digitally.
