# AuditHQ

> Website audit platform for business owners and the people who advise them - sole traders, SaaS founders, e-commerce operators, professional services (lawyers, accountants, dentists), and the agencies, consultants, and in-house teams that work with them. One public URL turns into a prioritized report across nine areas: marketing, technical health, AI visibility, security signals, privacy signals, social footprint, reputation, employer brand, and AI readiness.

AuditHQ is positioned as evidence-first: code runs 579 deterministic checks across 9 suites, AI writes the narrative on top. Pricing is billed in AUD with USD shown for reference, and AU-specific compliance signals are built into the Privacy suite. The free Quick Scan samples all nine audit areas; full 9-suite audits are paid (Solo A$29/mo and up, or A$29 one-off).

## Key Differentiators

- **Evidence first**: 579 deterministic code-run checks collect live evidence before any AI-assisted narrative is added. Findings are grounded, not hallucinated.
- **One report**: Brings fragmented website, trust, technical, and visibility checks into one prioritized report instead of stitching together 5+ vendor tools.
- **30/60/90 action plan**: Every audit includes a sequenced action plan synthesized by AI from the cross-suite findings.
- **Plain-language prioritization**: Findings ranked by severity (Fix immediately / Fix this month / Plan for next quarter), with business impact and recommended next step on each.
- **White-label for agencies**: Branded PDF export, multi-client dashboards, embed widget on higher tiers.
