SE Ranking has been a solid SEO platform since 2013. They've now entered the AI visibility space with two offerings: SE Visible (a standalone platform) and an AI Search add-on for existing customers.
If you're evaluating options or already use SE Ranking, here's the breakdown.
How SE Ranking AI Visibility works
SE Ranking tracks your brand visibility across ChatGPT, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Gemini. They use real AI responses, not simulations, which matters for accuracy.
Brand Sentiment Tracking monitors positive, negative, and neutral perceptions for you and competitors. See how AI describes your brand, not just whether it mentions you.
Competitor Benchmarking compares position, visibility share, and sentiment side by side. Citation Source Analysis identifies the domains and URLs most frequently cited in AI answers about your brand.
Pre-grouped Prompts organized by topics and niches help you get started. You can also test your own custom questions.
The platform integrates tightly with SE Ranking's existing SEO tools, showing which specific pages fuel AI answers.
SE Ranking pricing
They offer two paths.
SE Visible (standalone) starts at $189/month for 450 prompts, $355/month for 1,000 prompts and 10 brands, or $519/month for 1,500 prompts and 15 brands. All plans include unlimited user seats. A 10-day free trial is available.
The AI Search add-on for existing SE Ranking customers is $89/month added to your existing subscription.
If you're already an SE Ranking customer, the add-on is significantly cheaper than standalone SE Visible.
What SE Ranking does well
They query actual AI platforms, not simulations. The data reflects what real users would see.
If you already use SE Ranking for rank tracking and site audits, having AI visibility in the same dashboard is convenient. The tight integration shows which specific pages drive your AI visibility.
The $89/month add-on is cheaper than most standalone AI visibility tools. For existing customers, it's a low barrier to add this capability.
Unlimited user seats on all SE Visible plans is valuable for agencies. And you can track up to 15 brands on the Max plan.
Where Mentionable takes a different approach
SE Ranking bundles AI visibility with a full SEO suite. Mentionable focuses purely on AI visibility tracking.
The current LLM coverage is a gap for some users. SE Ranking tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI features. Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and other emerging platforms aren't covered yet. They've promised to add more, but many businesses can't wait.
The standalone SE Visible pricing is high. $189/month minimum is enterprise territory. The value is better if you're already an SE Ranking customer using the $89 add-on.
Mentionable includes Claude and Grok from day one on paid plans. We also suggest prompts based on your URL to get you started fast.
Which one fits you?
SE Ranking AI Visibility makes sense if:
- You already use SE Ranking for SEO
- You want AI visibility integrated with rank tracking
- You need multi-brand management for agencies
- You have budget for $89-$189+/month
- You can wait for Claude/Grok coverage to be added
Mentionable might be better if:
- You want to try with a 7-day free trial before committing
- You need Claude and Grok coverage now
- You only need AI visibility (not SEO tools)
- You're a solopreneur or small team
- €89/month fits your budget
The bottom line
SE Ranking is a smart choice if you're already in their ecosystem. The $89/month add-on brings AI visibility to your existing SEO workflow at a reasonable price. The unlimited user seats are valuable for agencies.
But the limited LLM coverage is a real gap. No Claude, no Grok, no DeepSeek. If your audience uses those platforms, you're missing data. And if you're not an SE Ranking customer, $189/month for the standalone product is enterprise pricing.
Try Mentionable with a 7-day free trial. See if AI visibility matters. If you find yourself needing traditional SEO tools alongside AI tracking, SE Ranking might make sense. But for pure AI visibility with broader LLM coverage, simpler tools exist.
