Beside used to show a Visibility score in your Marketing Audit: one number out of 100 for how easily customers find you on Google Maps, Google Search and in AI answers, next to a Reputation score and an overall Marketing score. The Marketing Audit has been rebuilt, and it no longer shows any scores.
What the score measured has not gone away. Beside still checks where you show up for the searches customers in your area make, on Google Maps, Google Search and in AI answers from ChatGPT and Gemini. It now writes what it finds in words instead of a number.

Scores are still in the free audit
The free business audit, which you can get from the website without an account, still gives you scores for Local visibility, Reputation and AI visibility.
FAQ
My Marketing Audit page says "No marketing audit yet".
My Marketing Audit page says "No marketing audit yet".
The audit appears once Beside has checked how your business shows up on Google and in AI answers. Workspaces created before November 5, 2026 do not get the audit automatically, so their page may keep saying No marketing audit yet.
How often does the audit update?
How often does the audit update?
Not on a schedule. A new audit is made when what Beside searches for changes (your Google listing, your website, your core services, your service areas, or how you serve customers), and it is rewritten a little later when your business facts, reviews or listings on other sites change.
Why does Beside care what ChatGPT says about me?
Why does Beside care what ChatGPT says about me?
Because a growing share of customers ask an assistant instead of searching, and the answer names only a few businesses. If you are not among them you are invisible to those customers, exactly as if you were on page four of Google.
