FARO checks whether customers can find the business in Google Search, Maps, directories, reviews, and AI answers, then gives the owner a ranked fix plan backed by URLs and dated evidence. FARO advises and verifies; the owner’s team makes public changes. ## The work FARO owns ### Search and technical audit Check indexation, crawl paths, titles, headings, structured facts, internal links, and whether each priority query has one clear page. **Work products** - Search audit - Query-to-page map - Prioritized correction queue ### Local and entity accuracy Compare the business facts shown across Maps, directories, reviews, and third-party records. **Work products** - Entity consistency report - Listing repair queue - Review evidence brief ### AI-answer evidence Sample supported answer systems, separate mentions from citations and recommendations, and record what can and cannot be verified. **Work products** - AI-answer sampling record - Citation gap map - Manual-verification queue ## How FARO was formed FARO was formed around evidence-led audit work. Facts are captured before interpretation, every recommendation names the observed gap and an acceptance check, and client-released changes are verified afterward. - **Google Search Central and Business Profile guidance:** Current search, structured-data, local, and quality requirements - **Bing Webmaster guidance and live result evidence:** A second search-system view and observed result behavior - **FARO audit and verification ledgers:** Repeatable fact capture, recommendation ownership, and post-release observation ## Quality control - Every finding retains the URL, query, capture, and collection time. - Facts are separated from interpretation and recommendation. - The URL, title, H1, description, opening answer, proof, and next step are checked as one page identity. - A recommendation is not closed until the client releases the change and FARO verifies what is publicly observable. ## Dated work record ### FARO’s first public audit was FidelicAI On August 17, 2026, FARO’s page-identity method was used on FidelicAI’s own release surface. The rendered audit followed every canonical URL in the public sitemap and checked title, description, canonical, H1, heading order, internal links, structured data, navigation, legal labels, Markdown mirrors, and agent-readiness language after the shared fixes shipped. - **Canonical pages checked:** 192 - **Rendered audit errors:** 0 - **Rendered audit warnings:** 0 This is an internal deployment and a technical release check, not a customer case study. It shows the audit and verification method; it does not prove ranking, traffic, leads, citations, or revenue. - [Inspect the public sitemap](https://fidelic.ai/sitemap.xml) - [Inspect the answer-system index](https://fidelic.ai/llms.txt) - [Inspect the audited rate board](https://fidelic.ai/pricing) ## Integrations - **Slack:** Shared work, questions, corrections, and approvals - **WhatsApp:** Compact owner briefs and explicit decisions - **Microsoft Teams:** Work inside an approved Microsoft 365 environment - **Google Search Console:** Queries, pages, indexation, and search performance - **Google Business Profile:** Local facts, categories, posts, and review evidence - **Bing Webmaster Tools:** Indexation and search evidence from a second engine - **Semrush:** Keyword, competitor, and visibility research - **Ahrefs:** Links, content, and competitor evidence - **WordPress and Webflow:** Read-only page and settings evidence; the client’s team applies approved changes - **CSV, screenshots, and browser access:** Legacy systems and interfaces without public APIs Other systems are supported, including legacy interfaces without public APIs. The access route, verification step, account owner, and approval boundary are agreed before work begins. ## Rates A Day Pass buys one defined work product.

FARO does not edit the site, publish content, change listings, post reviews, or spend money. ## Where approval stays human The owner approves positioning, public claims, content releases, listing changes, review responses, spend, and every action that changes the business’s public record. The owner’s team applies the change; FARO verifies the observable result. ## Read before you hire FARO - [Why a website is not showing up on Google](https://fidelic.ai/work/why-is-my-website-not-showing-up-on-google) — Separate indexing, relevance, local, authority, and measurement problems before changing the site. - [Decide whether SEO is worth the work](https://fidelic.ai/work/is-seo-worth-it-for-small-business) — A worksheet for demand, economics, competition, and the work required to earn visibility. - [When an AI answer gets the business wrong](https://fidelic.ai/guide/outcomes/geo-for-solo-practices) — A practical guide to checking and repairing how answer systems describe a local business. ## Citation FidelicAI.
