1. Technical eligibility
HTTP status, robots.txt, sitemaps, canonical, hreflang, document language, metadata, rendering and structured data. The observable output is an exact list of pages that can be discovered and interpreted coherently.

Methodology
The iQbizz methodology for SEO, AEO and AI visibility audits
A useful audit separates technical eligibility, entity understanding, source quality and commercial measurement. This methodology shows what we verify, what can be confirmed and what remains unknown until the necessary data access exists.
Five layers verified separatelyFive layers · one evidence trail
Analysis framework
Five layers verified separately
2. Architecture and intent
The relationship between pages, services, questions, entities and the next action. We check whether each URL has a distinct role and whether the commercial journey retains the request context.
3. Entity and authority
The company, founder, services and controlled profiles need stable identifiers and consistent claims. Independent references are assessed separately from first-party statements.
4. Primary evidence
Cases, benchmarks and quantified claims should name the baseline, period, denominator, intervention and limitations. Without a source or permission, a claim is not promoted as proof.
5. Measurement
Eligibility, discovery, citation and commercial outcomes are measured separately. A lead event must not include personal data and should reach analytics only under the approved consent conditions.
Evidence rules
What confirmed means
Confirmed
directly observed in a rendered page, server response, or supplied and verifiable source.
Inference
a plausible conclusion supported by evidence, but not sufficient on its own to prove causation.
Unknown until access
information that requires Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, analytics, CRM, logs or an external index.
Blocked by decision
pricing, terms, legal identity, client permissions or unconfirmed external profiles.
