What is an AI visibility audit for prospects?
An AI visibility audit checks how AI assistants answer the questions a company's buyers ask, such as 'best AI meeting notes app for sales teams', and records whether the company is named, which competitors are named, and which sources are cited. For an agency it is the strongest pitch asset there is: it shows a prospect, in the prospect's own market, where the business is losing recommendations today.
A useful audit has to be real and specific. A screenshot of one chat is anecdote, because AI answers vary from run to run. A good audit asks a set of buyer questions across several engines, counts the results and keeps every answer as evidence.
Proofsource runs that audit as a pitch. Type a name, a site or a sentence such as 'Driffle, AI meeting notes, talk to Maya about sales teams'. Proofsource reads the brand, the person and the notes, finds the website, proposes the category, places, competitors and questions, and lets you edit them before spending. Answers fill in live, then the pitch email is written from the facts.

One box starts a pitch from a name or a site, finds the website from the name alone and identifies the company. Say or type one sentence and Proofsource reads the brand, the offer, the person and your notes.
Three-step flow
Preview, then questions, then answers filling in live, then the email, report link and proposal are written for the prospect brand.
Review before spending
Check category, places, competitors and questions before any credits are spent. A dialog says what a paid step does and what is left before it runs, so nothing is spent by surprise.
Questions and answers panels
Edit the questions asked and read every answer for the pitch, with live progress, three headline numbers and the answers as they arrive.
Where their buyers are

Questions about pitch audits for prospects
How do I run an AI visibility audit for a prospect?
Type the prospect's name or site into the pitch box. Proofsource identifies the company, proposes buyer questions, places and competitors for you to edit, then asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and other AI engines and counts the results.
Do I need the prospect's website?
No. Proofsource can find the website from the brand name alone.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. You review and edit the category, places, competitors and questions before any credits are spent.
Is a pitch audit real or estimated?
It is real. Every number comes from answers the engines gave to the questions in the scan, and each answer is kept.
What does a pitch audit cost?
A pitch is charged in credits. Before a paid step runs, a dialog shows what it does, what it costs and what will be left.
How is this different from Peec AI pitch projects?
Peec AI's pitch projects give prospects a workspace of data. A Proofsource pitch goes on to write the email, a report in your name, a plan and follow-ups, and runs sign-off before anything is sent.
What happens to the scan if the prospect signs?
Make client keeps the pitch scan as the client's day one, so the before and after starts from your pitch.
