How it works

Three steps.

Step 1

Drop your URL

Your homepage URL and the email where we should send the grade card. That's it.

Step 2

We run the audit

We check public signals across 8 categories: site crawl, schema, llms.txt, AI Overview presence, citation probe across 4 LLMs, social footprint, outreach domain reputation, performance.

Step 3

You get the report

A-to-F grades for each card with evidence. The top 3 gaps to close. A projection of what 90 days with Helix would do.

Honest about scope

The free audit reads public signals.

What we can see

  • • Site crawl, schema validation, llms.txt, robots
  • • Core Web Vitals via PageSpeed Insights
  • • Citation probe across 4 LLMs + Google AI Overviews
  • • Public social presence and posting cadence
  • • DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC on the sending domain
  • • Brand-mention coverage across Reddit, X, LinkedIn, HN

What needs access (paid tier)

  • • GA4 conversion events and channel attribution
  • • Search Console ranks and impression trends
  • • Postmark deliverability, opens, clicks, bounces
  • • CRM funnel data and closed-won revenue
