SE Ranking tracks AI visibility.\nRanqer buys it.
SE Ranking AI Visibility shows you when ChatGPT and Google AI Mode mention your brand. Ranqer is the managed paid placement layer that puts your brand inside ChatGPT answers for Free and Go tier users in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
What is SE Ranking AI Visibility?
SE Ranking AI Visibility is the AI search tracking side of the SE Ranking SEO platform. It ships as two things: an AI Results Tracker add-on inside the main SE Ranking suite that focuses on Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and a standalone product called SE Visible that tracks ChatGPT and Google AI Mode at launch with Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude listed as coming soon. SE Visible pricing runs roughly Lite $29/mo, Standard $189/mo, Premium $489/mo with annual discounts, and refresh cadence on the mid plan is weekly. SE Ranking is a long-running SEO company (founded 2013, headquartered in Palo Alto with EU operations) so the AI module sits on top of an existing rank tracker, keyword research, and backlink stack. It is a read-only monitoring product, not a paid placement product.
SE Ranking AI Visibility limitations
- Read-only monitoring. It tells you when ChatGPT mentions your brand, it cannot make ChatGPT mention your brand.
- Coverage gaps at launch. SE Visible tracks ChatGPT and Google AI Mode today, with Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude on the roadmap.
- Weekly refresh on the Standard $189/mo tier is slow for a category where answers shift daily.
- No analytics tie-in. You see citations and mentions, but the tool does not connect to sessions or conversions on your site.
- Real AI visibility cost lands at $150 to $240+/mo once you add the AI Search add-on on top of the base SE Ranking subscription.
- No campaign management, no creative production, no audience research. It is a dashboard, not an activation team.
Ranqer vs SE Ranking AI Visibility
Why teams switch to Ranqer
Tracking and activation are different jobs. Most teams need both, with SE Ranking on the dashboard side and Ranqer on the spend side.
If SE Visible shows your brand is missing from ChatGPT answers, Ranqer is the path to fix that with paid placement, not more content.
Ranqer pricing scales with media spend, so it sits in the marketing budget, not the SEO tools budget.
Ranqer covers the work SE Ranking does not: audience research, creative for ChatGPT slots, campaign management, weekly optimization.
One Ranqer client saw roughly 50% click to paid conversion on ChatGPT placements (single client, single scope, internal observation, not a benchmark).

Start freeFrequently asked questions
Is SE Ranking AI Visibility a bad tool?
No. It is a real AI search tracker built on a long-running SEO platform. If your job is to monitor citations in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, it does that job. It just does not place ads.
Can I use SE Ranking and Ranqer together?
Yes, and most serious teams should. SE Ranking tells you whether your brand is mentioned in AI answers. Ranqer is the team that makes paid placements appear in ChatGPT for Free and Go tier users in supported regions.
What does this actually cost compared to SE Ranking?
SE Visible Standard is $189/mo, Premium is $489/mo, and the AI add-on inside SE Ranking lifts total subs to about $150 to $240+/mo. Ranqer starts at Launch $500/mo plus 7% of media spend and scales with the campaign.
Do you work in the EU or other gated regions?
Not yet. Ranqer ChatGPT Ads is live in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. UK, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea are rolling out. EU, India, and MENA are gated by ad inventory and not bookable today.
How fast can Ranqer show up in ChatGPT answers?
Days after a campaign launches, not weeks. Paid placement runs as inventory clears for Free and Go ($8/mo) tier users in supported regions.
Does Ranqer also report citations the way SE Ranking does?
No. Ranqer reports paid campaign metrics: impressions, clicks, and conversions from ChatGPT ad placements. For organic citation share across AI engines, keep SE Ranking or a similar tracker.
