Why AI Visibility Matters Right Now
You’ve heard the buzz. AI chatbots. AI browsers. Generative assistants. They’re everywhere.
But here’s the kicker: your customers are using them to shop, research and engage with brands. In fact, recent data shows a 3,500% spike in retail site visits driven by generative AI. Crazy, right?
Yet, most small businesses are flying blind. Traditional analytics tools focus on clicks and impressions. They miss how AI describes your brand. They can’t tell you if you’re showing up in a ChatGPT answer or a Bing AI snippet.
Enter small business generative AI tools—a new breed of solutions. They shine a light on how AI sees you. And our open-source AI Visibility Dashboard leads the pack.
The Visibility Gap
- AI engines pick up your web content, FAQs, and social posts.
- They blend and rewrite snippets to answer user queries.
- You have no way to track those citations or mentions.
The result? Lost opportunities. Missed conversions. A vague sense that AI is “out there” but you’re not part of the story.
Meet Our Open-Source AI Visibility Dashboard
We set out to build a tool that tackles the visibility gap head-on. No jargon. No heavy licences. Just clear insights.
Here’s how it works:
- Real-Time AI Traffic Monitoring
It spots when AI systems reference your content. You see query trends. You see which pages pop up in responses. - Benchmarking & Competitive Analysis
Compare your AI visibility against rivals. Know where you win. Know where you lose. - Actionable Recommendations
A simple engine flags content gaps. It suggests improvements based on AI priorities—authority, clarity, depth. - Attribution & Reporting
Connect AI visibility to real metrics: engagement, conversions and downstream traffic. Export easy reports for stakeholders.
All of this comes in an open-source platform. That means you and the community can audit every line, suggest features, and shape the roadmap.
Who It’s For
- Solo entrepreneurs overwhelmed by enterprise pricing.
- SMEs craving transparency in AI-driven marketing.
- Non-technical teams wanting simple dashboards.
This isn’t just another SaaS box to tick. It’s a community. A growing library of plugins. A place where small business generative AI tools meet collaboration.
