You want real SEO experts, an account manager you can contact, regular check-ins and a strategy built for your business.
Real people, not cookie-cutter AI.
Your marketing deserves more than a prompt. Here is what you get with Total Audits that a dashboard cannot give you.
Real SEO experts
A specialist works through your site every month and decides what matters for your business, your customers and your competitors. No generic scores, no automated to-do lists.
An account manager you can contact
A real person who knows your site and your roadmap. When a task is unclear, you ask them, not a chatbot.
Regular check-ins
We check in on progress, answer questions and keep the roadmap moving, so it does not sit unread in an inbox.
A bespoke strategy
Your roadmap is built for your business: your analytics, your content plan, your page fixes and your competitors. It is not a template with your URL dropped in.

The two cost different amounts because they do different jobs. Diib is software with live sessions. Total Audits is a specialist’s time every month: a dashboard shows what the data says, a roadmap says what to do first. Diib is considerably cheaper, and for many small sites that is the right choice.
What Diib is and what it costs
Diib describes itself as a growth tool for small businesses and says more than 800,000 businesses use it. You enter your website, and Dash, its AI growth analyst, scans it and shows SEO, AI search and analytics opportunities.
Diib Free
$0 a month. It includes a website health scan, a daily health score, keyword and backlink analysis, competitor benchmarking and a weekly email.
Diib Pro
$29.99 a month. Diib’s help centre says the first month is $99.99, which covers a starter package called Power Start, and that the annual plan is $299 a year. It says there are no contracts and that your rate does not rise while you stay a member. Pro adds diibAssist (questions answered from your own site data), an AI Visibility Score with an action plan, unlimited diib Live sessions, daily monitoring, advanced benchmarking, social media insights and up to 30 websites.
Diib’s pricing page shows the $29.99 monthly price. The $99.99 first month appears in its help centre, so check the checkout before you subscribe.
Why people look for a Diib alternative
There is nothing wrong with a dashboard. Businesses usually look elsewhere when they need something a dashboard does not give them.
You want a person to decide what to do
A score tells you where you stand. A person tells you which of the issues matter for your business and your competitors.
You want a written roadmap each month
A dashboard is something you check. A roadmap is a list of tasks in a sensible order that you or your developer can work through.
You want someone to ask
Diib offers live sessions and a support email, and its website says it provides live human support. Some Trustpilot reviewers say support was slow to reply, and others praise how easy Diib is to use. At the time we checked, Diib’s profile showed 3.0 from 275 reviews, 66% of them five-star and 24% one-star. Reviews are individual opinions we have not verified.
You want to know what AI search means for you
A visibility score is a number. You may want someone to explain what it means and what to change.
Your monthly SEO roadmap, built from a fresh audit
Your first roadmap arrives within 7 days of you completing the onboarding form. We do not guarantee rankings, traffic or conversions, and implementation is yours unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Built by a person, for your business
Every month a specialist gives you an SEO roadmap: the exact tasks to do, in order, with your analytics and competitor information alongside and the impact of the work tracked. The audit is how the roadmap gets built. A specialist works through your site afresh each month, so the roadmap reflects your site as it is now, not as it was at the last review. Every plan also includes local SEO, content gap analysis, competitor research and email support.
The plans differ in how much we look at when we build the roadmap. Essential covers up to 500 pages, Advanced up to 1,000 and Professional up to 3,000. Advanced and Professional add backlink analysis and AI Overview tracking.
AI search, measured two ways
Both products care about being visible in AI answers, and they measure it differently.
Diib’s AI Visibility Score, available on Pro, runs prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity and reports where your business is cited, according to Diib. It covers more AI engines than we do.
Our AI Overview tracking shows your business’s appearance in Google AI Overviews for selected keywords. It covers Google only. What we add is a person who reads the result alongside the rest of your roadmap work and decides what to do about it. Neither product can promise that an AI engine will mention you.
