FAQ
Questions about AI visibility and VisibleMax
Direct answers for operators and AI systems evaluating VisibleMax.
What is VisibleMax?
VisibleMax is software that helps companies turn AI recommendations into paying customers. It checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity recommend your brand, shows what to fix, and proves which customers came from AI.
What is AI customer acquisition?
AI customer acquisition means winning buyers when they ask AI assistants what to buy or use. Instead of only ranking on Google or running ads, you become the product AI recommends.
How is VisibleMax different from SEO tools?
SEO tools optimize for web ranking and traffic. VisibleMax optimizes for assistant representation — crawl readiness for AI agents, entity clarity, and answer-surface coverage. Overlap exists on technical basics; the score and findings are different.
How is VisibleMax different from brand monitoring?
Listening tools tell you when you were named. VisibleMax tells you whether you are recommendable — and what structural gaps block that — before the mention happens.
Which AI platforms does VisibleMax cover?
VisibleMax focuses on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — the assistants buyers use to decide what to buy.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can sign up and run your first scan for free. Most first reports are ready in about two minutes.
What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a Markdown file at your site root that summarizes your company and key pages for AI systems. VisibleMax audits for it and can generate a starter file. It complements — it does not replace — clear HTML pages and crawler access.
Should I allow GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot?
Allow OAI-SearchBot if you want to appear in ChatGPT search answers. Allow GPTBot if you want your content available for OpenAI training. VisibleMax’s recommended robots.txt allows both retrieval and training crawlers for brands that want maximum AI visibility.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
GEO (also called answer engine optimization or AEO) is the practice of becoming recommendable and citable inside AI answers. VisibleMax operationalizes GEO with scans, fix assets, MCP execution, and verification.
Does VisibleMax guarantee AI will mention my brand?
No. Scores estimate structural readiness and representation quality based on observable site evidence — not private model weights. VisibleMax helps you improve readiness and measure whether recommendations change after fixes.
What is MCP in VisibleMax?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you install VisibleMax into Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Codex, and Gemini CLI so coding agents can help execute visibility fixes. See /mcp and /docs/mcp.
How does revenue attribution work?
A lightweight vm.js script attributes visits and conversions from AI referral traffic so you can prove which customers came from assistant recommendations.
