Question 1

Does Ahrefs offer AI search visibility tracking?

Accepted Answer

Ahrefs recently added Brand Radar, an experimental tool that monitors AI mentions and citations. However, it's an add-on to their traditional SEO suite, not their core focus. Searchable is purpose-built for AI visibility from the ground up, with comprehensive tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google SGE.

Question 2

How does pricing compare for AI visibility features?

Accepted Answer

Searchable starts at $50/month with AI visibility as the core feature. Ahrefs starts at $129/month for their Lite plan, with AI features as experimental add-ons. To access Ahrefs' full capabilities, plans go up to $449/month or higher for enterprise.

Question 3

Which platform has better AI engine coverage?

Accepted Answer

Searchable provides comprehensive coverage of major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google SGE) on all plans. Ahrefs' Brand Radar covers some AI channels but these features are new and evolving. Searchable was built specifically for AI search from day one.

Question 4

Does Searchable integrate with Google Analytics and Search Console?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Searchable natively integrates with GA4 and Google Search Console to connect AI visibility data with your actual traffic and conversions. Ahrefs relies primarily on its own proprietary data and doesn't emphasize GA4/GSC integration as a core feature.

Question 5

Is Ahrefs good for AI search optimization?

Accepted Answer

Ahrefs excels at traditional SEO (backlinks, keywords, rank tracking) but its AI visibility features are experimental add-ons. If your priority is AI search optimization specifically, Searchable offers a more focused, mature solution with actionable recommendations and an AI agent that helps implement fixes.

Question 6

Should I use Ahrefs and Searchable together?

Accepted Answer

You can. Ahrefs remains strong for traditional SEO metrics like backlinks and keyword research. Searchable focuses on AI search visibility. Teams serious about both traditional and AI search may use both tools, though Searchable alone covers AI visibility more comprehensively than Ahrefs' experimental Brand Radar.
