What Seeably does, step by step
Find clients
- Scan any niche in any city or area, with no setup and results in about 3 minutes.
- See the AI leaderboard: who gets recommended most, with a score for each business and which assistants name it.
- Get every overlooked business as a ranked prospect list, strongest first, with website, phone, email where available, rating and reviews, plus CSV export on paid plans.
Win them
- Send ready-made audits as a link or PDF, showing the owner their score, who AI recommends instead, what's missing and how to fix it.
- Use your own branding on Pro and Max, and your own call-to-action button.
- Track your outreach so you always know who you've contacted and who replied.
Deliver the work
- See the sites AI relies on in that market, which competitors are on them, and where your client is missing.
- Use fix kits on Pro and Max: website code, review request templates, outreach emails to the sites AI reads, a pitch email and page drafts, ready to paste.
Keep them
- Track clients over time on Pro and Max, and run a fresh check whenever you like.
- Share a live progress page where your client can watch their score against their top competitor.
- Bring your team: up to 10 people on Max, with shareable report links and an email when each scan is ready.
Why agencies choose Seeably
- It helps you find new clients, not only report on existing ones. One scan turns a niche and a city into a list of businesses to approach.
- You arrive with proof. The owner sees who AI recommends instead of them, which makes for a stronger opener than a general pitch.
- The work comes with it. Fix kits give you the materials to deliver, so less time goes into research.
- One place for the whole journey. From first scan to client progress page, in a tool built for AI visibility.
Our data backs this up: in our study of 6,682 local businesses in 25 US markets, about 6 in 7 were never named by any of the four assistants. See more for your niche and city.
