Is Your Website Content Holding You Back? How to Audit for AI Visibility


As AI-powered search tools like Copilot, ChatGPT and Perplexity become more common, many businesses are starting to realise their website content no longer performs the way it used to – not because people search differently, but because search results are now presented differently.

Recently, a client asked for help improving their search visibility. Their site looked fine on the surface, but after a quick audit it was clear the content hadn’t been touched in years. Service pages were thin, FAQs were buried in blog posts, and key offerings weren’t described in detail. Another client had migrated to a new platform but hadn’t updated legacy content – the structure was solid, but the messaging was still stuck in 2016.

Here’s how we approach content audits to improve visibility in AI-powered search results.

Corporate Social Engineering 101

Another day, another Australian corporation actively encouraging social engineering. 🤦‍♀️ 

For YEARS, RACV has called from a "Private Number" to discuss a claim, and immediately asked me to confirm my full name, date of birth, and address “for security purposes.” (They're not the only Australian company that does this, but they are today's example).

Whose security?! 

Let’s be clear:

You called me. From a hidden number. Asking for personal details.

That’s not security. That’s textbook social engineering.

When I push back, they read out an obvious script along the lines of "if you're not comfortable with this we will send an SMS to your mobile with details on how to call us back". So they know this is a problem. Yet they persist.

Kevin Mitnick was doing social engineering in the 1990s ("The Art of Deception" was published in 2002). It’s 2025. With scams and identity theft at an all-time high, why are large organisations still normalising insecure behaviour?

We need to stop training customers to hand over personal data to anyone who sounds official.

Do better, for all of our sakes.
