02Why now
AI answers are the new first page. Most small sites are not in them.
Buyers ask ChatGPT "what is the best tool for X" and get three names. If yours is not one of them, you do not exist for that buyer.
Agencies charge €600 or more a month for this work. It is not magic. AI engines need five things from your site, and SearchBind turns them into a checklist you can finish in a weekend:
- ACrawl accessAI bots are allowed in and can read your pages
- BEntity clarityIt is obvious who you are and what you sell
- CAnswer-first pagesQuestions get direct answers AI can quote
- DPrompt coverageYou have pages for what buyers actually ask
- ETechnical hygieneSchema, sitemap, speed, HTTPS and email trust

04Not another checker
A score tells you that something is wrong. We hand you the fix.
Free checkers give a score away. That is a first look, not a plan. Many AI checkers send your page to a language model and print its opinion; SearchBind runs 61 fixed checks from a checklist built over 10 years of web development, then writes the fixes. Full comparison with agencies and trackers.

05Case study #0
This website is our first customer.
searchbind.com launched in October 2026 on a brand-new domain with zero authority. We run our own checklist on it and publish our own audit score and what we fixed on the blog. If we cannot fix our own site, you will see it here first.
- Domain
- searchbind.com, new in October 2026
- First post
- 7 October 2026, our own case study on the blog
- Our score on day 1
- 87/100 on 6 October 2026 with the first, 43-check version of our scanner: 5 of the 40 checks it could evaluate failed. The same day, after we corrected the checklist and grew it to 59 checks: 91/100 on the 59-check version, 5 of 57 evaluated checks failed: no profile links in our schema yet (B2), no person as author on the compare page (C9), no use-case pages (D4), no case study with numbers (D6) and one hidden check.
- Day 2
- 93/100 on 7 October 2026 with the 61-check version, after adding profile links to our schema: 4 of 61 checks needed work. After fixing those four the same day: 100/100, all 59 applicable checks pass.

Who is behind this
Built by a solo founder, for people who sell online alone.
I am Slava. I build software for a living, and I have watched too many good small products stay invisible while agencies charge €600 a month for a checklist. SearchBind is that checklist, automated, with the fixes written for you. I run it on my own sites first.
It is not one AI prompt with a score at the end. The 61 checks come from a checklist I have built over 10 years of web development, one client project at a time, and it is the same list I run on every client site myself. I made it public because I kept seeing the same fixable gaps hide good small businesses from search and AI answers. More about me and the method.
06FAQ
Questions people ask before they start
More on billing and plans in the pricing FAQ.
I am not technical. Can I still use the report?
Yes. Each fix says in plain English what to change and roughly how long it takes, and where the fix is code you get a snippet to copy and paste (robots.txt, llms.txt, JSON-LD). If you would rather not touch the site, we can help: contact us for details.
Is this just ChatGPT guessing?
No. 55 of the 61 checks are fixed rules: we fetch your robots.txt, sitemap, structured data and pages and test them. 6 checks use a language model to judge writing, for example whether a heading is followed by a direct answer, and only after a fixed rule has found something to judge. In the paid report every result comes with the evidence, so you can see why it passed or failed. The rules come from the checklist I have used on client sites over 10 years of web development.
Can I get a refund?
No. The report is generated and delivered right after payment, so there is nothing to cancel. Before you buy you can run the free scan on your own site and read a complete sample report, and you can ask us anything at hello@searchbind.com.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization is the practice of making a brand, website or person more likely to be mentioned, cited and recommended inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews. It overlaps with SEO but adds crawl access for AI bots, entity clarity, content structure, structured data and third-party corroboration.
Does SearchBind implement the fixes for me?
No, applying the fixes is not part of any plan. The Website plan delivers a prioritized to-do list with ready-to-paste snippets and content drafts, written so you or your web person can apply them. Need help applying the fixes? We can help. Contact us for details.
How fast will I show up in AI answers?
Perplexity and Google AI Overviews retrieve live pages, so changes there usually show within 2 to 6 weeks. ChatGPT depends more on index updates and model refreshes, so expect 3 to 6 months of consistent work. SearchBind gives you the fixes. The Website report includes a one-time AI visibility check, a snapshot of 10 questions on the day it runs; we do not track where you appear over time, and we do not promise rankings or revenue.
What does the free audit include?
Enter a URL and SearchBind runs all 61 checks across five areas: AI crawl access, entity clarity, answer-first structure, prompt coverage and technical hygiene. The free result shows your score and how many issues were found per area. Add your email and we send the summary report once, free. Paid plans reveal every issue, the fix and the snippet.
Do you audit LinkedIn or social media profiles?
Not yet. Right now SearchBind audits websites: the free website checker and the one-time Website report. Social and LinkedIn profile audits are not available yet, because LinkedIn and several social networks show a sign-in wall to logged-out visitors even for public profiles, so we cannot audit them reliably from outside. The Website report does check that your site links to the profiles you really run.
Will AI-generated content hurt my site?
SearchBind produces drafts for you to edit and publish under your name. Nothing is auto-published. We flag thin or duplicate content, and we recommend adding first-party data and examples, because AI engines prefer original proof over generic text.
What is the AI visibility check?
A one-time check included in the Website plan. After your report is delivered, we write 10 questions a potential customer might ask an AI assistant when looking for what you offer, without your brand name or domain in them. Each question is asked once to a large language model with web search, and we record whether your site was linked as a source, mentioned by name or absent, and which businesses were recommended instead. The results arrive by email about 15 minutes after the report. It is tested with one large language model's web search, not every AI assistant, answers vary between runs and between assistants, and it is not part of the 61-check score. It runs once per report; we do not re-run it over time. Not included in the free scan.
Is it a one-time payment?
Yes. Every plan is a one-time payment at a launch price. You get one full report as a private page plus an email within 24 hours on business days, and it stays accessible. To run the audit again later, you buy the plan again.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. Each client site is a Website plan. From three sites upward we offer per-site pricing and one invoice.
