Getting started with SE Visible

Get Started with SE Visible

SE Visible is an AI visibility platform that shows how your brand and website appear in AI-generated answers. It helps you understand where your brand is mentioned, which of your pages AI engines cite, how prominently you appear, how AI describes you, and how your visibility compares with competitors.

It tracks Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Results are collected from real AI responses through a browser interface, so the data reflects what users actually see when interacting with these platforms. Checks run on the schedule you set for the project — daily or weekly — and the header always shows when the next one is due.

What you can do with SE Visible

Measure brand visibility See how often your brand appears in AI answers and how prominently it is positioned.
Track website citations See which of your pages AI engines cite as sources, and for which prompts and topics.
Compare with competitors Compare visibility, share of voice, and average position with other brands in your market.
Track sentiment Understand whether AI describes your brand positively, neutrally, or negatively.
Spot growth opportunities See which domains and URLs AI engines rely on — including sources that mention competitors but not you — and turn them into places to earn your next mention or citation.
Track progress over time Compare periods to see whether your AI visibility plan is working, what stalled, and what started to decline.
Report and share results Invite clients or managers straight into the project, or pull the data into your own reporting through the API and the Data Studio connector.

Set up SE Visible

Create a project to start tracking how your brand appears in AI-generated answers. Setup takes four steps.

1
Brand setup. Enter your brand name and website — SE Visible suggests the matching domain — then choose the country and language to track. You can narrow the location to a city or region for a local market.
2
Topics. Choose up to five topics to monitor — suggestions for your industry arrive pre-selected — and set how many prompts you want SE Visible to discover for them.
3
Competitors.SE Visible detects the brands AI answers mention alongside yours. Keep the ones you want to benchmark against, and add any it missed.
4
AI engines. Switch on the engines you want analyzed for this project and run the first analysis.
Prompts are the questions SE Visible sends to AI engines to check whether, where, and how your brand appears in their answers.
AI engines rarely stick to one version of a brand name. Once answers start arriving, SE Visible suggests the variants it sees — abbreviations, product names — as aliases for you to confirm in Settings → Project → Brands, so those mentions count towards your brand.

Understand your AI visibility

The Dashboard gives you a high-level view of how your brand and website perform across the AI engines you track. Use it to answer questions such as:

  • How visible are my brand and my pages in AI answers?
  • Is my plan working — is visibility growing the way I expected?
  • Did anything fail to grow as planned?
  • Has anything started to get worse?
  • Is the picture stable, or did something shift?
  • Where does my brand usually appear in an answer?
  • Which competitors are gaining more visibility?
  • Is there a new opportunity to act on?
  • How is AI describing my brand?

You can filter the data by date range, topic, AI engine, location, and brand to focus on the part of your AI visibility that matters most.

See which prompts mention your brand

Prompts represent the questions people may ask AI where you want your brand to appear. The Prompts view helps you understand which questions already mention your brand and where opportunities are still missing.

You can use it to:

  • Review the AI answers generated for each prompt.
  • See whether your brand appears and where it is positioned.
  • Check which competitors appear for the same questions.
  • Review sentiment and cited sources.
  • Add or remove prompts as your tracking needs change.

Compare your brand with competitors

SE Visible identifies other brands appearing for the prompts you track, helping you understand who AI engines recommend alongside—or instead of—your brand.

Use competitor data to:

  • See which brands have stronger AI visibility.
  • Compare visibility, share of voice, and average position.
  • Identify topics or prompts where competitors outperform you.
  • Compare time periods to spot brands gaining or losing visibility.

Understand how AI describes your brand

Visibility alone does not show whether an AI engine presents your brand favourably. SE Visible also analyzes the sentiment of answers that mention your brand.

Use sentiment data to identify positive, neutral, and negative descriptions, understand what influences brand perception, and spot changes that may need your attention.

Find ways to grow visibility and citations

AI engines rely on external websites when generating answers. The Sources view shows which domains and URLs shape the answers collected for your prompts — and where you can earn the mentions and citations you do not have yet.

Use this data to:

  • Identify the websites that influence AI answers in your market.
  • See how frequently individual domains and URLs are cited, including your own pages.
  • Find sources that mention competitors but not your brand — the clearest gaps to close.
  • Turn those gaps into content, PR, partnership, or outreach opportunities.
