Free for Wedding Professionals
See what AI assistants can read about your wedding business.
Couples now ask ChatGPT, Google, and Claude for vendor recommendations before they open a directory. This check reads your website the way those assistants do and scores the 14 signals that decide whether you can be cited. Free, instant, no account.
- Results on this page in about ten seconds
- Every finding comes with why it matters and how to fix it
- Never affects your directory listing or placement
What the Check Reads
Fourteen signals, in three groups
Machine-readable identity
Title, headline, meta description, and schema.org business markup — whether a model can tell what you do, where you do it, and how to reach you without guessing.
Crawl access
robots.txt rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot; sitemap; llms.txt; HTTPS; mobile viewport. Several site builders block AI crawlers by default, and the owner rarely knows.
Citations
Whether your phone and email are readable text rather than an image, and whether you appear in an editor-reviewed third-party source — the kind of page models lean on when they name a business.
The Full Audit
The score shows whether AI can read you. The audit shows whether AI chooses you.
The free check is on-page and technical. The full audit runs the questions couples actually ask — “best wedding photographer in Charleston under $5,000,” “barn venues near Greenville” — across ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, records which businesses get named and why, and turns the gaps into a prioritized fix list for your site, your listings, and your citations.
Audits run $500–$1,500 depending on the size of the site. Rebuilds start at $2,000. Run the free check first — the request button is on your results.
- Live answer-engine results for your category and region — the actual questions couples ask, with screenshots
- Competitor citation analysis: who gets named instead of you, and which sources they are pulled from
- A prioritized fix list ranked by effort against impact
- Schema, content, and crawl fixes written out so any developer can apply them
- Optional: we apply the fixes, or rebuild the site around them
How This Relates to the Directory
The score and the audit are services from Mahaffey Labz, the studio that operates Wedding Vendor Connect. Buying one, or not, has no effect on whether you are listed, how your listing is written, or where it appears. Listings are free, editor-written, and never ranked by payment. That policy is the reason couples trust the directory, and it is not for sale.
Good to Know
Questions vendors ask
- Is the AI visibility score really free?
- Yes. The check runs automatically, so there is no catch and no account to create. Results appear on the page. We ask for an email so we can follow up if you request the full audit or, if you tick the box, so our editors can set up your free directory listing.
- What does the score measure?
- Fourteen on-page and crawl-access signals: whether your title and headline say what you do and where, whether schema.org business markup is present, whether robots.txt blocks AI crawlers, and whether basics like a sitemap, HTTPS, canonical tags, and readable contact details are in place. It does not measure rankings or what any assistant currently says about you — that requires running live queries, which is the full audit.
- Will buying an audit improve my placement in the directory?
- No. Placement is editorial, the directory has no paid tier, and listings are never ranked by who pays. The audit improves your own website's ability to be read and cited — by AI assistants, by Google, and by couples.
- Who performs the full audit?
- Mahaffey Labz, the studio that operates Wedding Vendor Connect. It is delivered as a written report with live screenshots of the answers each assistant gives for your category and region, and a fix list your developer can work from directly.
- How is this different from an SEO audit?
- Traditional SEO optimizes for a list of ten links. AI assistants give one answer, usually naming two to four businesses drawn from sources they trust. The audit measures whether you are in that answer and where the sources come from. It overlaps with SEO, but it is not the same job.
- Do I need to be listed on Wedding Vendor Connect to use it?
- No. Any wedding business with a website can run the check. If you would like a free listing, tick the box on the form and our editors will research and write it in the same voice as every other listing.
