Most software has a lot of screens. iSuggest.ai has three moments that actually matter, and each one ends with a single button: Run free audit, Generate AI Suggestions, and Submit to [provider]. Everything else on the site — the dashboard, the account page, the history views — exists to support one of those three clicks. Here's exactly what each one does, and why the order is not optional.
Button one: Run free audit
You don't create an account to use this button. Paste a URL into the home page form and click Run free audit, and the request runs synchronously: no queue, no "we'll email you the results," no polling spinner pretending to think. The audit engine fetches the page, scores it, and the report is on your screen in seconds. If you're signed out, the audit is still remembered for your browser session so you can come back to it — it's just not attached to an account yet. There's a shared one-audit-per-minute limit to keep the queue fair for everyone, which is the only thing standing between you and running it again immediately.
This is deliberately the lowest-friction button on the site. The audit is free because the point isn't to gate the diagnosis — it's to get you an honest, specific read on a page before asking for anything else.
Button two: Generate AI Suggestions
Once you have a report, a second button appears: AI Suggestions. This one does require signing in, and specifically requires you to have added your own Gemini API key on your account — iSuggest.ai doesn't proxy AI calls through a shared key it pays for per user. Click Generate AI Suggestions and the app sends your audit's findings to Gemini Flash-Lite and asks it to turn each issue into something actionable.
What comes back isn't a wall of text. Each suggestion is a small card with a consistent shape: an impact tag, an effort tag, a plain "Action" line telling you what to actually do, and — where it's useful — a "Why it matters" note and a copy-ready example block you can paste straight into your page. If the AI call fails for any reason, the app doesn't just show an error: it falls back to suggestions built directly from your audit's own issue list, and tells you plainly that AI was unavailable for that run. You're never staring at a blank state.
Button three: Submit to [provider]
The report page has a section called "Publish a frozen AI discovery copy," and this is where the third button lives — it reads Submit to Gemini, Submit to ChatGPT, or Submit to Claude, depending on the directory. Click it, and unlike the first two buttons, something permanent happens: your page is captured again, in more depth than the original audit (full text, headings, structured data, links, images with alt text), and that capture is frozen into a snapshot with a deterministic ID. It's written once and never overwritten — republishing later creates a new snapshot rather than editing the old one, because the whole premise of the AI directory is that what's there is immutable and dated.
That button is disabled until your page earns it. The gate is a fixed rule, not a judgment call: a page needs a GEO score of 90 or higher before it can be submitted, full stop, for every account including ours internally. Below 90, the button stays disabled with a message telling you why — no partial credit, no "submit anyway and we'll flag it." The logic is simple: an AI directory listing is supposed to mean something. If everything qualified, it wouldn't.
Why the order is the point
Audit, then suggest, then publish isn't a checklist we imposed after the fact — it's the actual dependency chain. You can't get useful suggestions without an audit to react to, and you can't clear the 90-point bar to publish without acting on suggestions first (or already running a page that's in good shape). Most people who use the site will run the first button many times before the third one ever lights up, and that's the intended shape of it: cheap, repeatable diagnosis feeding a small number of permanent, earned publications.
If you want the fuller version of this sequence with screenshots of each screen, we've walked through it end to end in our audit-to-publish workflow walkthrough, and if you're thinking about this as a recurring habit for a small team rather than a one-off, this post on building it into a small team's workflow covers how that rhythm holds up over weeks rather than a single session.
Try it
None of this requires a sales call or a setup wizard. Read how it works for the short version, or just go run an audit — the first button is free, and it's the only one you need to get started. Everything else on your account page exists to support the other two, once you're ready for them.
