Public self-audit · July 23, 2026

Wildwood AI started with almost no observed search or AI visibility.

Wildwood AI’s July 23, 2026 audit found no appearance in two sampled searches, no observed nationwide ranked keywords, and no mention in eight successful AI checks. Mobile Lighthouse scored 59 with a 9.5-second LCP, while desktop scored 92. The backlink baseline was 28 links from 26 referring domains, with an almost entirely homepage-focused link footprint.

These figures are a dated audit snapshot. Search Console metrics remain unreported until verified from Search Console.

The public case study preserves the weak starting point so later changes can be compared honestly.

The starting line

A weak baseline is useful when it is recorded honestly.

0 of 2 sampled searches

Wildwood was not observed for the original Beaverton samples of “SEO audit” and “SEO services.” These are preserved as historical comparisons, not the product’s nationwide target KPIs.

0 nationwide keywords observed

The provider returned no trustworthy nationwide ranked-keyword evidence for the domain during this audit.

0 of 8 AI mentions

Eight AI checks succeeded; none mentioned or cited Wildwood. Failed checks, if any, were not counted as zero.

59 mobile performance

The mobile lab run reported 9.5-second LCP. Desktop scored 92 with 1.6-second LCP. CLS was 0 in the recorded evidence.

26 referring domains

The audit reported 28 links from 26 referring domains and almost no deep-link footprint.

0 vetted outreach opportunities

The audit did not return a candidate strong enough to recommend. That does not mean no relevant publisher or partner exists; future prospects require manual verification.

What this does not prove

The audit is a dated sample, not a complete history of the domain.

  • The two original searches used a Beaverton location and are not the nationwide product-query tracking set.
  • No Search Console metrics were included in this audit, so impressions, clicks, CTR, average position, and indexed-page totals remain unreported until verified directly.
  • AI answers vary. The zero-of-eight result applies to the successful checks and wording used on July 23, 2026.
  • Backlink counts describe the provider snapshot; relevance and editorial quality matter more than adding links simply to raise the number.
  • Lab performance is diagnostic. Production Core Web Vitals require field data and continued monitoring.

Days 0–30

Fix crawlability and speed before trying to publish at greater scale.

  • Give the homepage complete crawlable HTML, one H1, meaningful introductory copy, a description, canonical URL, social metadata, structured data, and crawlable internal links.
  • Remove the 2.23 MB homepage video from the critical rendering path and target a mobile LCP of 2.5 seconds or less.
  • Give each product, methodology, about, case-study, and industry page one query owner so pages do not compete with each other.
  • Add contextual links from every published article to its commercial hub or leaf, a related resource, and the audit or methodology page.
  • Retarget overlapping scheduled wedding articles as practical checklists before publication.

Days 31–60

Publish evidence worth finding and worth citing.

  • Publish plain-language product pages for SEO auditing and AI visibility with limitations and an example report.
  • Strengthen company identity with a truthful About page, editorial policy, support details, and one consistent Organization identity.
  • Create a concise product demonstration with a crawlable transcript and captions.
  • Build a manually verified list of relevant wedding-industry, small-business, association, partner, podcast, product-review, and editorial prospects.
  • Seek useful deep links to product, methodology, case-study, and niche pages; reject link-selling networks and irrelevant directories.

Days 61–90

Repeat the same measurements and publish the difference.

At day 90, Wildwood will rerun the original audit for historical comparison and the fixed product-aligned search and AI prompt set. Any improvement will be reported with the same observation-state rules; absent or unavailable data will not be turned into a claim.

Aspirational outcomes are first top-100 visibility for a relevant long-tail product or wedding query, three to five genuinely relevant new referring domains, and at least one verified product-aligned AI mention or citation. They are monitoring goals, not promises or release gates.
