Quickstart Guide

Set up your brand, start tracking what AI assistants say about it, and run your first GEO audit.

Before you begin

You need:

• A Vizzybl account — sign up at vizzybl.ai
• A website URL you want to audit

Step 1: Select your data region

During onboarding, choose where your brand's data is stored:

Region	Where your brand's data is stored
United States	North America
Europe	The European Union
Asia Pacific	Asia Pacific

Important: Your data region is permanent and cannot be changed after setup. Choose the region closest to your primary audience or the one that meets your compliance requirements.

Step 2: Set up your brand

Enter your brand details:

1. Primary domain — Your main website (e.g., example.com). If you typed your website into the box on the Vizzybl home page in the same browser within the last two hours, it is already filled in
2. Brand name — Your official brand name as you want it tracked
3. Brand variants — Alternative names or abbreviations (e.g., "AWS" for "Amazon Web Services")
4. Industries — Select the sectors your brand operates in
5. Main market — The country most of your customers are in. Vizzybl asks AI assistants from there, in its main language

While you continue, Vizzybl reads your website to work out what you do, then suggests competitors and builds a keyword set.

Step 3: Add your competitors

Add at least three competitors:

• Type or paste their websites, separated by commas (for example hubspot.com, pipedrive.com). Each one becomes a tag straight away. Hover over a tag and click its × to remove it.
• Or pick from the suggestions Vizzybl finds for you. The strongest come first, and hovering over one shows why it was suggested. Click one to add it, or click Add top 3.

You don't have to wait for the suggestions to add your own. Everything is saved when you click Continue.

If your site blocks our reader, the suggestions panel says so. Tell us what you sell in one line and click Find competitors, and Vizzybl suggests competitors from your description instead. See Let Vizzybl read your site to allow our reader and try again.

Step 4: Choose what to track

Vizzybl suggests about a dozen questions people ask AI assistants when choosing a provider like you. Most don't name your brand, because that's where you're won or lost.

If Vizzybl can't write questions for your brand straight away, it shows general starter questions instead and says so above the list. The link next to that line, Get questions for followed by your brand's name, tries again.

1. Tick the questions you want to track. The best ones are already ticked, up to the number your plan allows. Click Show more suggestions to see the rest
2. Edit any question, or add your own
3. Click Start tracking

Vizzybl asks each question straight away. First answers usually arrive within a few minutes, and the Prompts page shows them as they come in. After that, each question is asked again every night, or once a week on the Free plan once weekly scans are on for your workspace (see How often prompts are scanned).

What this costs. Getting suggestions and starting to track them doesn't use credits. Your plan sets how many prompts you can track at once: Free tracks 4, on ChatGPT and Gemini. See Credits and Pricing.

You can skip this step and pick later from the Prompts page, where the same suggestions wait for you.

Step 5: Invite your team

Invite the people who work on your content, SEO and marketing. Invites are free and everyone shares your plan. You can skip this and invite people later from Team. See Team Management.

Step 6: Run your first audit

1. Open the Audits section from your dashboard
2. Select + New Audit
3. Enter the URL you want to scan
4. Select Single Page as the scan type
5. Select Start Audit. The button shows the cost in credits before you confirm

What this costs. Running a single-page audit costs 15 credits and takes a few minutes. Your free tier includes 250 credits and one audit per month. See Credits and Pricing for details on other actions.

Vizzybl analyzes your page through a multi-stage pipeline: infrastructure, content, citations, entity authority, freshness, transparency, and media. A single-page audit takes a few minutes. You don't have to wait: you can close the page, and your results will be there when it's done. See Run your first audit for what the page shows while the audit runs.

Step 7: Review your scores

Once the audit completes, you see:

• AI Visibility Index (AIVI) — Your headline score (0–100), combining optimization readiness with actual AI performance
• GEO Readiness — How well your content is optimized for AI citation
• Share of Voice — How often AI platforms mention your brand for relevant queries
• Pillar scores — Detailed breakdown across Technical, Content, Authority, and Media

Each pillar score highlights specific areas for improvement. Click into any pillar to see granular recommendations.
