Why look
SE Visible is cheap per prompt. Teams look elsewhere for what sits around the numbers: citation detail, client reporting, outreach, or a tool that isn't tied to SE Ranking.
SE Ranking's tracker includes a "No cited" view of competitors cited where you are not. Teams that want owned-page citations and third-party mentions counted as separate numbers, with each cited page's tone rated, look at tools built around citations.
White-label client reporting is not detailed on SE Visible's public plans. Agencies that send branded dashboards to clients each month look for it on every plan, so reporting does not cost extra.
SE Visible shows where you appear. It does not list outreach tools for winning a place on the pages engines already cite, so that work happens somewhere else.
Citations
SE Visible reports mentions, sources and competitors across the engines it tracks. Wellows counts citations two ways and pairs each with a way to grow it.
SE Visible reports mentions and the sources behind them on the engines it lists: ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overviews. Wellows logs each link to your own site as an explicit citation, by prompt, engine and URL, with Perplexity on every plan.
To grow it: Content Opportunities, KIVA research, AI page drafts and section fixes (beta). SE Visible lists no content tools.
SE Ranking's tracker has a "No cited" view of competitors cited where you are not. Wellows splits the third-party pages behind your answers out as implicit citations, a number of their own, and grades the tone of each one.
To grow it: outreach, which SE Visible doesn't list. Each cited page featuring rivals comes with a verified contact and a pitch draft.
Tracking
Each scan starts with a short written summary: the rival that gained, the prompts you dropped and the first thing to fix. Rank, visibility score and both citation counts follow underneath.
Prompt rows list topic, buyer intent, how you were mentioned and a visibility score. Open one to read the answer on each engine and the sources behind it, each graded positive, neutral or negative.
Third-party pages behind AI answers where a competitor is named and you are not, ordered by domain authority and the citations each one could add.
SE Visible wins on prompt volume. The table shows that next to engines, projects, implicit citations, content and outreach.
What you also get
SE Visible shows where you appear but lists no outreach tools. Wellows finds the cited pages that name your rivals and not you, ranks them by authority and likely citation gain, and adds a verified contact and a pitch to each.
SE Visible doesn't list content tools; SE Ranking sells those as part of its SEO suite. In Wellows, KIVA reads your Search Console data for the terms and follow-up questions a missing page needs, and Wellows drafts that page to be quoted.
SE Visible reports mentions, sources and competitors. Wellows grades the tone of each third-party page an engine cites and puts the negative ones that engines use most at the top, so you know which source to work on.
SE Visible tracks where you show up across its four listed engines. Wellows writes a short note after each daily scan of five engines: what moved, which rival gained and where you slipped.
White-label reports aren't detailed on SE Visible's public plans. Wellows gives agencies per-client and per-country dashboards in their own branding on every plan from $29.
SE Visible allows 3, 5 or 10 projects depending on the plan. In Wellows every brand, market and client gets its own project, and every teammate gets a login.
Fair test
SE Visible wins on volume. Wellows fits when you need to act on what the numbers show.
Outcome: Fewer prompts, more to act on.
Outcome: Broad prompt coverage at a low price.
Add-on
They come from the same company but are bought differently. SE Visible is a standalone AI visibility tool with its own sign-up. The AI Search add-on sits on top of an SE Ranking SEO plan.

Wellows costs more per prompt, but each one runs on five engines daily, and every plan includes content, outreach and white-label dashboards.

Testimonials
Feedback from people working in AI search.
Your client's competitors are being cited by ChatGPT. Your client isn't. And until you fix that, the gap is only going to widen. The strategy is simple. Get your client onto the pages that LLMs already trust. But finding those pages? That used to be a nightmare. Wellows changes this completely.
Freddie ChattEcommerce SEO ConsultantIf you want to measure AI visibility, reliably track your LLM citations, identify where competitors are winning, and systematically close those gaps. That's exactly what Wellows is built for.
Vladi KriulinContent StrategistYou're guessing which sites to contact. Guessing what to say. Guessing if it'll even move the needle on AI visibility. That's where Wellows turns this into a repeatable system. And it's why I've decided to use this.
