About PublisherAudit

PublisherAudit is the audit tool I wish existed when I was getting my own content sites rejected by AdSense and ignored by ChatGPT.

The problem we solve

Running a content site in 2026 means juggling four audits at once: AI-citation readiness (will ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity cite you?), AdSense compliance (will Google approve your application — or stop showing you ads?), Core Web Vitals (will pages rank?), and schema honesty (does structured data accurately represent content?).

Each audit traditionally requires its own tool, its own learning curve, and its own diagnostic-to-action translation. Most publishers ship audits in isolation — fix one dimension, regress another. PublisherAudit runs all four in 60 seconds and produces a single integrated score plus a prioritized action plan.

Who built this

PublisherAudit is built and operated by Paulo de Vries, a solo founder running a portfolio of content sites covering finance, food, education, and book content. The audit methodology emerged from real fleet-wide failure modes — including a live AdSense rejection on one of the portfolio's flagship sites that took three weeks to diagnose and remediate.

How the audit was built

The four-dimension audit methodology synthesizes:

• AI-citation: The 10-characteristic LLM-citation checklist (Aleyda Solis framework + Anthropic, OpenAI, and Perplexity citation patterns observed in 2025-2026).
• AdSense compliance: Google's published Program Policies (Misrepresentation, Deceptive Practices, Dishonest Declarations) plus the Minimum Content Requirements and Webmaster thin-content guidelines.
• Performance: Core Web Vitals thresholds (LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB) measured under real-world conditions matching Google's Page Experience signal.
• Schema: Schema.org structured-data validation, plus the structured-data-abuse patterns Google flags (recommendation-encoded headlines, mismatched fields, hidden-element schema).

Free vs Pro
