Sightivo is an SEO and AI-search-visibility platform. It tracks your keyword rankings, analyzes your backlinks and competitors, manages directory submissions, and measures how often AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your brand. Unlike traditional tools that require you to import data and do the heavy lifting, Sightivo proactively surfaces opportunities based on your niche and helps you act on them. ### Is Sightivo an alternative to Semrush, Ahrefs, or Moz? Yes. Sightivo covers the core SEO workflows those tools are known for—keyword tracking, backlink analysis, and competitor research—at a lower price, and adds first-class AI-search-visibility (GEO/AEO) tracking that they don't focus on. ### What is AI search visibility (GEO/AEO)? Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are about getting your brand mentioned and cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Sightivo measures how often these engines reference you, shows which sources they pull from, and recommends actions to earn more citations. ### Do I need to import data from other SEO tools? No, Sightivo works out of the box. You can optionally import data from Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, or CSV, but our AI actively discovers opportunities for you. Just add your website and target keywords, and Sightivo will surface relevant prospects and issues automatically. ### How does Sightivo find content authors? Sightivo uses enrichment technology to identify the authors behind articles and web pages. We gather author names, email addresses, social profiles, and professional backgrounds so you can craft personalized outreach that resonates with each individual. ### What types of opportunities does Sightivo discover?

Absolutely. Sightivo is designed to be intuitive whether you are new to SEO or an experienced professional. The platform guides you through the process with AI-powered suggestions, pre-built templates, and clear workflows. ### How is Sightivo different from other SEO tools?

Sightivo flips this model: we proactively suggest opportunities, automatically find author contact information, and cover both traditional SEO and AI search visibility in one workspace. ### Can teams collaborate on Sightivo? Yes, Sightivo is built for team collaboration. Share prospects, assign outreach tasks, use shared email templates, and track progress together with centralized reporting. ### What integrations does Sightivo support?
