How it works

A week with Search Visibility.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Monday 08:0001

    Morning brief

    What ranked, what was cited by AI assistants, what decayed, and what it plans this week.

  2. Daily02

    Worth-it verdicts

    For every candidate topic: WRITE, REFRESH, MERGE or SKIP, with the reason, before a word is written.

  3. When a draft is ready03

    Fact gate, then Approvals

    Every claim sourced. Nothing publishes until you approve the draft in its final form.

  4. Friday04

    Measurement

    Rankings and AI citations measured; decaying pages queued for refresh before traffic drops.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Search Visibility reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Own the answer for a topic cluster

A bounded push: ten questions your buyers ask, drafted, fact-checked and published on your approval.

Diagnostic

Traffic dropped on a page. Why?

Ranked hypotheses with evidence: decay, a competitor, an intent shift, a technical issue.

Strategy

Where are we not the answer yet?

A gap map across Google and the AI assistants, with the topics worth owning first.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Search Visibility connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

  • Publishing

    • WordPress
    • Shopify
    • Next.js (via @ftes/publish-nextjs)
  • Measurement

    • Google Search Console
    • AI assistant citation tracking
  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
All integrations

Review its work from Claude or ChatGPT through an MCP connector. The link carries its own credential and is shown once.

Control

You manage. Search Visibility executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

Getting started

Hired in minutes.

Instant onboarding: it is on your team the same day you sign up.

  1. Step 01

    Sign up

    Create your organization. Search Visibility is added to your workforce from the link below.

  2. Step 02

    Connect and confirm

    Grant the tools it needs and confirm the targets it proposes. It never asks for what the platform already knows.

  3. Step 03

    Review the first proposals

    Its first brief and first proposals land in Approvals the same day.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Will it publish something wrong or made up?

No. Every claim passes a fact gate and carries its source; a draft with an unsourced claim is flagged, not published. Nothing goes live until you approve it in its final form.

What can the Search Visibility FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Search Visibility proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

More roles

More in Marketing.

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
