Visible tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, and Copilot mention, cite, and rank your brand — so you're never the last to know you've gone invisible.
AI Search Visibility measures how often and how prominently your brand appears when people ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, and Copilot questions relevant to your business.
Visible expresses it as a single composite score from 0 to 100, calculated from three weighted factors:
Mention Rate is how often your brand name appears in AI answers. Citation Rate is how often AI cites your domain as a source. Prominence Score reflects how early in the response your brand is mentioned. A higher score means AI assistants mention your brand more often, cite you as a source more frequently, and surface you earlier in their answers.
A growing share of buying research happens inside AI chat tools — and they answer directly, with no click and no ranking page to check. Most businesses have zero visibility into this new layer.
Am I even mentioned? A customer says "I found you through ChatGPT" — but you have no idea what it actually said, or whether it usually says that at all. You're flying blind.
Who's winning the citation? AI tools cite specific web pages as sources. You don't know if it's your pricing page — or your competitor's review page — being referenced.
Every tool that tracks this costs $300+/mo and starts with a sales call. None of them were built for a business your size.
No onboarding call. No technical setup. No blank page.
Enter your brand name and website. We automatically extract your brand context — no integrations, no API keys needed.
Our AI Research Tool scans your brand and suggests real questions your customers ask AI assistants — grouped by intent (discovery, comparison, reputation). Accept, edit, or add your own.
Track up to 20 competitors on the exact same questions, in the exact same query runs — true apples-to-apples Share of Voice comparison.
A composite 0–100 score plus per-platform breakdown, trend chart, and plain-language action signals — ready before you've finished your coffee.
A 0–100 composite score (40% mention rate + 35% citation rate + 25% prominence) updated every time your checks run. Trend charts with competitor overlays, SOV by model, and date-range filters.
Catch every mention, the exact wording used, where in the response it appeared (prominence rank), and whether the tone is positive, neutral, or negative — classified per mention, not per response.
See which pages on your site AI models trust enough to cite as a source — and which competitor pages they're citing instead. Up to 20 citations stored per response, domain-level and URL-level.
Among all the times AI mentions you or a tracked competitor, what percentage belongs to your brand? See it overall and broken down by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, and Copilot separately.
Filter every AI response by model, mention status, citation presence, or competitor mention. Click any row to see the full AI answer, highlighted mentions, cited sources, and sentiment — all in one panel.
Enter your brand or domain and get intent-balanced prompt suggestions (discovery, comparison, reputation, factual) — pre-classified so your tracking covers how customers actually search, not just how you think they do.
Crawls your site into a digital twin and analyzes it for SEO gaps (crawlability, metadata, structure) and AEO gaps (schema, citable facts, entity clarity), then ranks every finding by impact so you know what to fix first.
Turns real customer questions into structured, self-contained, schema-marked FAQ content — the format AI assistants extract from and cite most reliably. Closes the AEO gaps Deep Scan finds most often.
Most AI-visibility tools measure your score and stop there. Visible diagnoses why the score is what it is, gives you a direct way to fix it, then measures whether the fix worked — in one product, on a cycle you repeat.
Your Visibility Score & Citation Rate confirm whether the fix actually worked.
Re-scan to find the next gap. A cycle, not a one-time audit.
Every other AI visibility platform we evaluated either gates real data behind a demo, charges from day one, or targets enterprise budgets. Visible was built from the ground up for businesses your size.
Unlike Profound and AthenaHQ, which require a sales call and start at roughly $270+ per month, Visible offers a genuinely free-forever plan and self-serve signup on every tier. Unlike Otterly.AI, which has no free-forever plan, Visible includes per-mention sentiment analysis and a full AI-response viewer at an entry price of $69 per month — built specifically for small businesses and solo marketers rather than enterprise teams. And unlike all three, Visible closes the loop: Deep Scan diagnoses why your score is what it is and FAQ Builder gives you a direct way to fix it, in the same product that measures whether the fix worked.

Most AI-visibility tools only measure. Visible also diagnoses why you're invisible with Deep Scan and fixes it with FAQ Builder — a closed loop we haven't found anywhere else in this category.
