// Why we exist
We’re building the
visibility layer
for the answer-engine era.
Search didn’t die. It got swallowed by AI. We watched our own work disappear inside ChatGPT and Perplexity answers without a single citation, and decided to build the platform we needed.
Mission
Make brands visible to the machines.
For thirty years, “winning search” meant ranking on a results page. Today, the engines summarise instead of list, and a single AI answer can replace a hundred clicks. The brands that show up inside those answers will compound forward. The ones that don’t will quietly disappear. Vizelo measures, fixes, and grows that visibility — engine by engine, prompt by prompt, hourly.
// Story
How we got here.
-
2024
Noticed our own pages were invisible
The founders ran content for two B2B SaaS companies. Traffic was flat but conversions were dropping. We dug in and found that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews were confidently recommending three of our competitors and never mentioning us — for keywords we’d ranked #1 on Google for years.
-
Mid-2025
Built a hacky internal tool
Cobbled together a pipeline that probed six engines on a cadence and diffed citations week-over-week. It was ugly, brittle, and ran on a laptop — but it worked. Eight friends asked to use it. We started saying yes.
-
Q1 2026
Opened private preview
Rewrote the pipeline from scratch with strict per-customer data isolation and zero training on customer data baked into the contract. Shipped v0.4 with the first set of visibility, briefing, enhancement, citation-mapping, and sentiment capabilities.

Now
Scaling the team and the platform
SOC 2 Type II audit underway. Sixth agent (Outreach) on the Q3 roadmap. Hiring engineering and developer-relations from Irving, Texas. If this problem is also your problem, we’d love to talk.
// Team
Team page coming with the public launch.
We’ll publish bios and photos once we leave private preview. Until then, the people building Vizelo are reachable at hello@vizelo.ai. If you’re an engineer or developer-relations person who’s read this far, talk to us — careers@vizelo.ai.
// How we operate
Three rules we won’t bend.
1. Never train on your data
Customer prompts, citations, and content stay yours. We don’t train models on them, we don’t pool them across tenants, and the contract says so in plain English.
2. Show our work
Every score, citation, and ranking links back to the prompt and the engine response that produced it. No black-box scores you have to take on faith.
3. Ship in public
We publish a changelog every release and a comparison page that’s honest about where we lose.
