Website Health Audit
DSF's proprietary 450+ point diagnostic across 15 categories — applied as the entry phase of every engagement, never sold as a standalone product.
IS YOUR SITE INVISIBLE TO AI?
THE DIGITAL STRATEGY FORCE ENTITY HEALTH AUDIT
From Algorithmic Ambiguity to Neural Dominance.
The DSF Command Center runs a 450+ point website audit across 15 categories — the most comprehensive website health assessment available. It starts where no competitor can: AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and AI Entity Authority — then covers Technical SEO, On-Page Optimization, Core Web Vitals, Schema Markup, Mobile, Security, Accessibility, E-E-A-T, and more. Every failing check includes a business impact statement, step-by-step remediation, and severity context.
What clients receive
A confidential strategic briefing — prioritized findings, the specific gaps costing visibility, and the precise remediation sequence required to close them.
What stays with DSF
The 450+ check framework itself, the 15-category scoring system, and the underlying analytical data — proprietary IP. Never templated. Never published. Never licensed.

WHAT DO COMPETITORS' AUDITS MISS?
What No Competitor Offers
Standard SEO audit tools cover the basics. The DSF Command Center goes further — three entire categories that no other audit tool on the market evaluates.
WHAT'S HIDING UNDER YOUR SITE'S SURFACE?
The Audit Process
| Region | Severity |
|---|---|
| Schema area | Critical |
| Entity region | Critical |
| Meta block | Warning |
| CWV region | Warning |
| Citation area | Critical |
| Knowledge graph node | Warning |
The Cost of Ambiguity
In 2026, models punish ambiguity. If an Answer Engine cannot resolve your entity with 99.9% certainty, it defaults to your competitor.
| THE RISK | THE REALITY |
|---|---|
| Hallucination Displacement | AI fills gaps with synthetic data, crediting rivals. |
| The Knowledge Gap | Exclusion from the AI reasoning chain entirely. |

What is a website health audit?
A website health audit is a comprehensive diagnostic that evaluates a site's technical foundation, content quality, AI readiness, and competitive positioning across hundreds of checkpoints. The audit produces a documented report with findings, severity ratings, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
What does the 450+ point audit actually cover?
Fifteen diagnostic categories: AI indexability, entity recognition, schema integrity, semantic depth, technical performance, mobile readiness, security posture, content gap mapping, internal link topology, citation profile, on-page hardening, accessibility, crawl efficiency, structured data coverage, and competitive parity. Every checkpoint is documented with severity rating and a specific remediation path.
How is your audit different from running Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights?
Automated tools score performance and surface obvious technical defects. Our audit interprets those signals in the context of AI citation probability, entity authority, and competitive positioning — diagnostic dimensions no automated tool measures. A 100/100 Lighthouse score and zero AI visibility is the most common pattern we encounter.
Do we get the full report or just a summary?
The full report — every finding, severity rating, and recommended action. We also include a prioritized remediation roadmap so you know exactly what to fix first for maximum impact, and what can wait.
What's the typical turnaround time for a complete audit?
Standard delivery is 7–10 business days from access provisioning. Enterprise sites with complex architectures or multi-region deployments may take up to 14 days. Expedited turnaround is available when the engagement requires it.
How much does a website health audit cost?
Standard health audits start at $7,500 for sites under 500 pages. Enterprise audits — multi-domain properties, complex e-commerce, multi-language deployments — scope based on architecture complexity. Pricing reflects depth of analysis: every checkpoint is human-reviewed, not automated.
Do we need to give you access to our website?
Yes, but read-only. We need analytics access (Google Analytics or equivalent), Search Console verification, and crawl access for the full diagnostic. We do not require CMS edit access, hosting credentials, or code repository access for the audit itself — only for the optional remediation phase.
