Ahrefs Counts Backlinks. AI Counts Entity Authority.
Ahrefs built the gold standard for backlink analysis. But LLMs don't use PageRank. They recommend brands based on entity authority, citation frequency, and content structure. That's a fundamentally different optimization problem — and Visiblie is the platform built to solve it.
Trusted by growth teams defining the AI era.
“73% of B2B buyers consult AI before speaking to sales.”
The game changed.
The toolset needs to change too.
Ahrefs is excellent at what it does: backlinks, keywords, SERP analysis. But none of that tells you what ChatGPT says when a buyer asks "What's the best solution for X?" AI models don't crawl pages — they reason about entities. You need a tool built for that paradigm.
Ahrefs can't tell you whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude are recommending your brand — or your competitor's.
The highest-intent buyers are skipping Google entirely and going straight to AI for recommendations.
Domain Authority doesn't translate to AI visibility. You need Entity Authority — and Ahrefs doesn't measure it.

Why teams choose Visiblie.
Over Ahrefs.
Built for How LLMs Think.
Ahrefs measures PageRank and link authority — signals Google cares about. Visiblie measures entity authority, citation frequency, and content structure — signals that determine how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude form recommendations. Different paradigm, different tool.
From Insight to Execution. Automatically.
Ahrefs shows you data — great data. But data doesn't move rankings. Visiblie's agentic workflows take GEO recommendations and execute them autonomously — building citations, optimizing content structure, and improving your AI authority while your team focuses on strategy.
See What No SEO Tool Can See.
Track exactly how every major AI platform talks about your brand. See which prompts mention you, which mention competitors, and which sources drive the citations. This visibility layer doesn't exist in Ahrefs, Semrush, or any traditional SEO tool.
Domain Authority vs. Entity Authority.
Here's the shift: Google ranks pages. AI recommends entities. A page with 10,000 backlinks means nothing to ChatGPT if the entity behind it isn't well-understood. Visiblie helps you build the entity signals that AI models actually use.
Optimize schema markup and structured data so AI models understand your brand as an entity.
Build citation authority across the sources LLMs actually reference — G2, Wikipedia, industry publications, and technical documentation.
Track your Entity Confidence score across each AI platform and watch it improve over time.
Ahrefs measures link authority. Visiblie builds entity authority.
When Ahrefs might be right
Ahrefs is an excellent tool — and it may be the better fit if:
Backlink analysis is central to your SEO strategy and you need the most comprehensive link database available.
You're focused on organic Google rankings with keyword research and SERP analysis.
Your content strategy is built around SEO-driven content gaps using Ahrefs' Content Explorer.
When you need Visiblie
But if your buyers are asking AI for recommendations before they ever reach Google — and 73% of B2B buyers now do — you need a platform built for generative search, not traditional search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Visiblie vs Ahrefs
Can I use Visiblie alongside Ahrefs?
Yes — and many teams do exactly this. Ahrefs handles traditional SEO intelligence (backlinks, keywords, site audits). Visiblie handles the AI visibility layer (LLM monitoring, GEO optimization, entity authority). They're complementary, not competing.
Does Ahrefs have any AI visibility features?
Ahrefs is focused on traditional search metrics — backlinks, keyword rankings, SERP analysis. It doesn't monitor how AI models recommend brands, because that requires fundamentally different data collection and analysis. Visiblie was built specifically for this.
Will AI visibility replace traditional SEO?
Not replace — complement. Traditional SEO still matters for Google. But AI is becoming a significant discovery channel, especially for high-intent queries like "What's the best X for Y?" The smartest teams invest in both. Visiblie ensures you're visible in both paradigms.
How quickly can I see results?
You'll see your AI visibility baseline within minutes of setup. Unlike traditional SEO which takes 6-12 months, LLMs update their context and retrieval sources more frequently. Most clients see their first measurable citation lift within 30-45 days of implementing our Core Entity Strategy.
Do I need to be technical to use Visiblie?
No. The platform gives you simple dashboards, clear scores, and actionable recommendations. If you want us to handle the technical implementation (schema markup, JSON-LD, content restructuring), our Done-for-You plans handle everything.
Is Visiblie suitable for agencies?
Yes. Visiblie supports multi-brand workspaces with white-label reporting, making it ideal for agencies managing AI visibility across client portfolios. Several agencies already use Visiblie as a new revenue stream.
