Questions people ask
Is the high-level audit really free?
Yes. The high-level audit report is free, with one report per website. The deep audit is a paid service. We quote it after a short call. If you want help making the fixes, we quote that separately, and you do not have to accept.
Do I get separate SEO, AEO and GEO scores?
Yes. You get an overall score out of 100, and a separate score for SEO (Google search), AEO (direct answers) and GEO (AI assistants). If you have a Google Maps listing, it gets its own score too. The report also lists the keywords your website targets.
Will you check if ChatGPT or other AI assistants mention my business?
Yes. We ask an AI assistant the questions a customer would ask about your type of business in your city, and show whether it names you and who it names instead. Answers change over time, so we treat it as a sample.
Do I need to be technical to understand the report?
No. The report is written in plain words. Each problem says what it means, the steps to fix it, who can do it and roughly how long it takes. You can pass it straight to your web designer.
Do you need access to my website?
No. Tanikhi only looks at what anyone can see in public: your web pages, Google's speed test and your public Google Business Profile. We never ask for passwords.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO (search engine optimisation) helps your pages show up in Google search. AEO (answer engine optimisation) helps Google show your answer directly at the top. GEO (generative engine optimisation) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Gemini understand and recommend your business.
How long does it take to get my report?
Usually 2 working days from your request. You get it by email, with a private link to view it online for 15 days.
Will the audit change or slow down my website?
No. Tanikhi reads your public pages the way Google does, a few at a time, and changes nothing.
What if my business is not on Google Maps yet?
That is fine. We still check your website. The report will tell you that you have no Google Business Profile and how to create one for free.
How is this different from free online checkers?
Free checkers give you a long list of numbers. Tanikhi checks Google search, Google Maps and AI assistants together. A person then reviews the results and puts the fixes in order, so you know what to do first.
Is everything in the report 100% accurate?
The report is based only on what is public: your website, Google, Google Maps and an AI assistant, on the day we check. We don’t see your private records or documents, so a few details may differ from what you know, for example prices or opening hours. A person reviews every finding, and we mark anything you need to confirm. If something looks wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
How much do the fixes cost?
Many fixes are small, and your own web designer can make them. If you would like Markaroo to make them, we give you a quote first. There is no obligation.
What is the difference between the free and deep audits?
The free high-level audit checks everything that is public: your pages, speed, hidden labels for search engines, AI readiness and your Google Business Profile. The paid deep audit also looks at your private Google Search Console and Google Analytics data (read-only access that you give us). It adds keyword and competitor research, a page-by-page review, a content plan and a call to walk you through it.
What do you do with my details?
We use your details only to prepare and send your report. We never sell them. We share them only with the services that run Tanikhi, such as our website host and email service. You can ask us to delete your details at any time. Our Privacy Policy lists everything.
Which businesses and cities do you work with?
Any business with a website, anywhere in India. Tanikhi is made in Hyderabad, and we work with businesses across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and the rest of India.
Who is behind Tanikhi?
Tanikhi is a website audit tool made by Markaroo Solutions, based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Tanikhi (తనిఖీ) is Telugu for inspection or verification.
