VibeCode Canada delivers each audit as a written report within three business days. No sales call required.

The 14-point diagnostic.
Every audit covers the same fourteen checks, scored 0–100, with a prioritised written recommendation per item.
Indexation health
Measures which pages Google has crawled and indexed versus submitted. Orphan pages and crawl waste silently cap your ranking ceiling.
Schema coverage
Audits Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Breadcrumb, and Article markup for presence and validity. Schema is the single largest AEO ranking lever.
Entity stacking
Reviews sameAs references, Google Business Profile signals, and Wikidata or Wikipedia eligibility. Entity strength determines whether AI engines treat your business as a real, distinct entity.
Core Web Vitals
Scores LCP, INP, and CLS against real-user data. Slow pages get crawled less and cited less.
Mobile experience
Checks viewport, tap targets, and layout shift on a throttled 4G connection. Mobile is the default search context in Canada.
On-page SEO
Reviews title tags, meta descriptions, H1 uniqueness, and internal anchor coverage. The cheapest wins almost always live here.
Local SEO and Google Maps
Audits Google Business Profile completeness, NAP consistency across Canadian directories, and review velocity. 46% of Google searches have local intent — this is where most Canadian SMBs lose ground first.
AEO baseline — ChatGPT
Measures citation count and sentiment over 90 days for branded and category queries inside ChatGPT.
AEO baseline — Perplexity
Same methodology for Perplexity, which cites sources more aggressively than ChatGPT and is often the fastest engine to win on.
AEO baseline — Claude
Same methodology for Anthropic’s Claude. Coverage across all three engines named on the VibeCode homepage is required.
GEO content readiness
Assesses passage-level extractability, FAQ depth, and definition coverage. Generative engines lift specific passages, not whole pages.
Backlink quality
Reviews referring domain authority, toxic link flags, and anchor text distribution. Authority still flows through links, even into AI-cited content.
Competitor visibility gap
Scores your top three local Canadian competitors on the same fourteen points. You’ll see exactly where they’re winning and where they’re vulnerable.
Ownership and portability
Audits domain ownership, DNS control, content portability, and analytics access. We do this on every report — including for businesses who never become VibeCode clients.
Written report delivered within 3 business days.
We tell you who owns your stack — even if it's not us.
Most agencies hold the domain, the DNS, the GA4 property, and the website hosting hostage. We audit ownership and portability on every report — including for businesses who never hire us. Canadian businesses deserve to own their visibility infrastructure. Item #14 is in every audit because we'd rather lose a sale than help anyone build a moat against you.

What is a free visibility audit?
A free visibility audit is a 14-point diagnostic from VibeCode Canada that measures a Canadian business's performance across Google search, Google Maps, AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude), and generative search surfaces. The audit is delivered as a written PDF report plus a Loom video walkthrough within three business days at no cost.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) optimizes a website for traditional Google rankings. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes content for citation inside conversational AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes content for inclusion in generative search surfaces like Google AI Overviews. All three are measured in the VibeCode Canada free visibility audit.
Is the audit really free?
Yes, the VibeCode Canada visibility audit is genuinely free. No credit card is required and there is no follow-up sales sequence unless the recipient opts in.
How long does the audit take?
The visibility audit is delivered within three business days of reservation. The exact estimated time of arrival is confirmed in the reservation email.
Who delivers the audit?
Mark S. Sharma, founder of VibeCode Canada, personally writes every audit. Automation handles data collection, but scoring and recommendations are written by Mark, not by AI.
What if the audit finds nothing wrong?
If the audit finds no significant visibility issues, the report says so in writing. VibeCode would rather report no problems than fabricate them. This outcome happens in roughly one in twelve reports.
Do I need to give VibeCode access to my Google Analytics or Search Console?
No, the visibility audit runs entirely from public-facing signals. A deeper diagnostic that uses private analytics is available as part of a paid Visibility Engine engagement.
Does VibeCode Canada work outside of Canada?
VibeCode Canada serves Canadian businesses exclusively. The audit is built around Canadian search behaviour, Canadian Google Business Profile patterns, PIPEDA compliance, and regional dynamics across Canadian markets.
How long until I see results from VibeCode's services after the audit?
Most Visibility Engine clients see Google ranking improvements within three to six months and AI citation pickup on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude within 30 to 90 days. AEO and GEO results often appear faster than traditional SEO because AI engines re-crawl and re-synthesize content more frequently than Google's organic index.
How does AEO differ from traditional SEO?
AEO measures and improves how often a business is cited inside AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, while traditional SEO measures and improves rankings on search engine results pages. AEO depends more heavily on structured data, factual density, and entity clarity than classic SEO does.
