## Definition

A technology audit is a systematic review of a company's existing marketing technology stack — assessing tool redundancy, integration gaps, data quality, and fitness for current and planned marketing objectives.

## Why It Matters for AI Search

A technology audit conducted with AI search in mind identifies whether a company's existing tools support [structured data](https://www.platelunchcollective.com/services/entity-seo) implementation, citation monitoring, content velocity, and AI search attribution — or whether gaps exist. Most legacy marketing stacks were not built with AI search in mind. A [fractional CMO](https://www.platelunchcollective.com/services/consulting/fractional-cmo) running a technology audit helps clients understand which existing investments can be extended to support AI search measurement and which new tools may be needed.
