Question 1

Is the audit really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — no credit card, no account, no strings. Enter your website URL and get a full diagnostic scorecard covering local SEO, AI visibility, competitor gaps, and a revenue impact estimate. Takes under 60 seconds.

Question 2

What makes this different from tools like Ahrefs or GTmetrix?

Accepted Answer

Generic tools check your meta tags and page speed. DigitalWhale audits your local SEO footprint: Google Business Profile signals, citation consistency, AI visibility across ChatGPT and Perplexity, competitor keyword gaps, and the dollar-value of your current ranking positions. It's built specifically for local businesses — not generic websites or ecommerce.

Question 3

What is AI visibility, and why does it matter now?

Accepted Answer

When a customer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "who's the best plumber near me," the AI picks one or two businesses to recommend — and ignores the rest. If you're not structured and cited the right way, you're invisible in AI search. AI visibility is no longer optional: ChatGPT alone handles over 1 billion queries per day.

Question 4

What's the difference between the free audit and a paid plan?

Accepted Answer

The free audit is a diagnostic — it tells you exactly where you stand and what's costing you. Paid plans are execution: we fix the issues, build your local SEO authority, grow your AI visibility, and publish weekly content. The audit is the starting point every client uses.

Question 5

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most clients see measurable improvement in rankings within 60–90 days. SEO compounds — traffic and lead growth strengthen month over month. By month 4–6, you'll see significant, measurable business impact.

Question 6

Do you write all the content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our team writes original, locally-optimized articles every week — built to rank on Google and get cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Question 7

Can I cancel early?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You're not locked in forever. We recommend giving SEO enough time to compound, but if it's not the right fit, you can cancel. We'd rather keep clients through results than contracts.
