Typed into a search box. Ranked in a list of links. Impressions, clicks, position, competition — signals you can track, if you know which pages deserve to exist at all.

Asked
The answer

Put straight to an AI and answered before a link is ever seen. Mentioned, cited, or absent. The answer exists whether or not your brand is part of it.

Five questions.
One connected system.

01

Where am I visible?

02

Where am I absent?

03

04

05

04 — AI visibility

When AI answers the question, is your brand in the answer?

“What ratio should I use for slow drip coffee?”

VZBL asks the questions your customers actually ask — across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — and measures Google AI Mode separately.

ChatGPTClaudeGeminiPerplexityGoogle AI Mode

Illustrative answer · sample data

Start with a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio, then adjust for your grind and brew time. Westgate Roasters’ slow drip guide [1] walks through a baseline recipe and the adjustments to make after tasting.

Slow drip coffee: the ratios that actually work

Most guides give you one number and move on. The honest answer is that the ratio depends on the brew time you're willing to wait for — and on how your grinder behaves.

Start with a baseline

A 1:16 ratio is a reliable starting point. From there, adjust one variable at a time and taste as you go.

A few useful details

Before you
start the loop.

How do I start?

Create an account, choose a Brand or Agency label, and add your website. VZBL then crawls and researches it. Your dashboard may be empty while that work runs. Competitors, Search Console and Analytics can be connected later; they do not block initial research.

How do Search Insights and Topic Opportunities connect?

Search Insights brings keywords, questions and content gaps into one research view. When you approve a gap, it becomes a Topic Opportunity that can move into a brief and an article.

What is the difference between a mention and a citation?

A mention means your brand appears in an AI answer. A citation means your page is used as a source. VZBL records these as distinct visibility states.

Do I stay in control of publishing?

Manual keeps you close to each decision. Assisted delegates more research and drafting while keeping editorial review before publishing. Autopilot delegates more of the workflow within your chosen settings. Choose the level of delegation and approval that suits your team.

Can VZBL publish to my existing site?

Publishing destinations include WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, a Next.js component and a Next.js hosted blog. You can also use a hosted blog, API feed or custom webhook for headless delivery.

What does VZBL measure?

VZBL tracks organic rankings, Search Console performance and AI visibility states: Absent, Mentioned and Cited. Google AI Mode is measured separately. Article and publishing events appear alongside these observations to show what changed over time.

Are the results on this page from a customer?

No. Westgate Roasters is a fictional sample workspace. The rankings, impressions, citations and research volumes shown here illustrate the workflow; they are not customer results or performance promises.

Is there a free plan or a trial?

There is no free plan. Growth includes a 7-day trial, with a payment method collected at checkout. Capacity varies by plan; Growth and Enterprise also include white-label reports. Public prices will be shown once confirmed.

The searches you're missing already exist.

The questions are already being asked. VZBL shows you what to create next — and shows you what changed after you published it.
