How Visible Works: From Signup to Your First AI Search Visibility Score
No onboarding call. No technical setup. No blank page. Enter your brand name and website, and Visible takes you to a real, composite AI Search Visibility Score in under 5 minutes — then keeps working: diagnosing why your score is what it is, and giving you a direct way to fix it.
Step 1 — Tell us your brand
Enter your brand name and website URL. That's the entire setup. Visible automatically extracts your brand context — what you do, who you serve, how you're positioned — directly from your site. There are no integrations to configure and no API keys to generate; the account is ready to use the moment you finish typing your domain.
Step 2 — We generate your prompts
Instead of handing you a blank text box and asking "what should we track?", the AI Prompt Research Tool scans your brand and website and suggests real questions your customers are likely to ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Suggestions are grouped by intent so your tracking reflects how people actually search, not just how you assume they do:
- Discovery — "what's the best [category] for [use case]?"
- Comparison — "[you] vs [a named competitor]"
- Reputation — "is [you] any good?" / "[you] reviews"
- Factual — direct questions about your pricing, features, or policies
Accept the suggestions as-is, edit them, or add your own — the tool is a starting point, not a constraint.
Step 3 — Add competitors
Track up to 20 competitors (limits vary by plan) on the exact same questions, in the exact same query runs. That matters more than it sounds: checking your brand on Monday and a competitor's on Thursday isn't a fair comparison, because AI answers can shift with source freshness and phrasing. Running everyone through the same prompts at the same time is what makes the resulting Share of Voice numbers genuinely apples-to-apples.
Step 4 — Get your Visibility Score
Visible queries each AI platform's official API on your configured schedule, analyzes every response, and rolls the results up into a single composite score from 0 to 100:
You get the composite number, a per-platform breakdown, a trend chart, the Competitor Visibility Heatmap, and plain-language action signals — not a raw data dump you have to interpret yourself.
What happens after your first score
A first score is a snapshot. The real value is what Visible does next, because a number alone doesn't tell you what to change. This is where the closed loop takes over:
Deep Scan tells you why
Crawls your site into a digital twin and ranks SEO gaps (crawlability, metadata, structure) and AEO gaps (schema, citable facts, entity clarity) by impact — so you know exactly what's holding your score down.
FAQ Builder gives you the fix
Turns your real customer questions into structured, schema-marked FAQ content — the single most common AEO gap Deep Scan finds, closed without a blank page.
Content Coverage & your Visibility Score confirm it worked
Re-check to see whether Mention Rate, Citation Rate, and Prominence moved — and whether your Competitor Heatmap position improved.
How ongoing monitoring works
Once your first score is live, Visible keeps checking on a schedule so you see trends, not just a single point in time:
- Free — monthly refresh, ChatGPT + Perplexity, 30-day history
- Basic — weekly refresh, 4 platforms, 12-month history
- Pro — daily refresh, all 6 platforms, 24-month history
- Enterprise — custom refresh cadence and history retention
Every check feeds the same trend chart and the same Competitor Visibility Heatmap, so you can see at a glance whether a fix you shipped two weeks ago actually moved the number, or whether a competitor is pulling ahead on a specific platform.
No technical setup, ever
There's no SDK to install, no webhook to configure, and no crawler to grant access to. Visible does the crawling, the querying, and the analysis on its own infrastructure. The only inputs you provide are your brand, your prompts (or the ones we suggest), and your competitors — everything downstream of that is automatic.
Key takeaway
Signup to first score is under 5 minutes with zero technical setup. From there, Deep Scan and FAQ Builder turn that score into a diagnosis and a fix, and ongoing monitoring turns the fix into proof — a loop you repeat, not a one-time report you file away.
