In 2025, Empact Partners went deep on AI Engine Optimization (AEO). We helped brands get found in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode. We built playbooks, ran campaigns, and published research that put AEO on the map for companies across industries.

The deeper we went, the clearer one problem became. There were no tools built for this new reality. Existing SEO platforms were retrofitting old dashboards with AI labels. The few "AI visibility" solutions that popped up were little more than API wrappers. They'd send a prompt to ChatGPT, show you the response, and call it "AI visibility tracking." Most required marketers to manually upload queries, select countries, and configure settings. And tracking alone wasn't enough. Everyone could pull data from AI engines. The hard part was doing something meaningful with it.

We were consulting on AEO every day, but when clients asked 'how do I measure this?' we didn't have a good answer. The tools didn't exist yet. So we decided to build them ourselves.

Why We Built Qvery

That gap between what marketers needed and what the market offered became the founding insight behind Qvery. Rather than wait for legacy platforms to catch up, we co-founded Qvery to build something designed from scratch for the agentic web.

The thesis was simple. If the future of search is conversational and AI-driven, the tools need that same intelligence built in. Not dashboards that leave you to figure things out. Not analytics that require hours of configuration. Something that works for the marketer, not the other way around.

Qvery is an AI agent company, not a software tool company. That distinction matters. The visibility space is filled with trackers and dashboards that all follow the same pattern: pull data, display charts, leave the marketer to figure out what to do. We wanted to flip that. Qvery builds agents that collect data, analyze it, generate insights, and take action.

Most tools in the market are just API wrappers. They send prompts to ChatGPT and show you the response. That's not intelligence. That's a demo. We wanted to build something that actually thinks, learns, and acts on behalf of the marketer.

Qvery Dashboard: Brand Visibility at a Glance

Qvery's Dashboard gives you a single view of your brand's presence across every major AI search engine: visibility score, share of voice, average rank, and competitor breakdown, all updated automatically.

The Dashboard is your command center for understanding how AI engines see your brand. At a glance, you get everything that matters:

Brand Visibility Score: Your overall presence across AI-generated search results
Share of Voice: How often you're recommended vs. your competitors
Average Rank: Your positioning when AI engines list brands in your category
Citation Sources: Where AI engines pull their information about your brand

Qvery populates this data automatically. The platform scans your website, identifies your industry and competitors, and begins tracking from day one. No manual query setup. No keyword research. No spreadsheet gymnastics. Three modules: Dashboard, Queries, Citations. Nothing else.

We didn't want to build a dashboard that creates more work. We wanted one that eliminates it. You sign up, point Qvery at your site, and within minutes you have a complete picture of your brand's AI visibility.

Auto-Generated Topics and Queries

One of Qvery's most powerful features is intelligent query generation. Instead of asking marketers to manually input keywords (a process that's both tedious and limited), Qvery's AI agents automatically generate topics and queries based on your website content, industry context, and competitive landscape.

Here's how it works:

Automatic website analysis: Qvery scans your site to understand your products, services, and positioning
Topic generation: The AI identifies broad categories relevant to your industry
Query expansion: For each topic, it generates dozens of specific queries using internal algorithms and real-world discovery patterns
Multi-market coverage: Queries are tracked across multiple countries and languages for a global view

As the AI search landscape shifts, Qvery continuously discovers new relevant queries and keeps tracking current. The system does the work, not the user.

In the old world, you'd spend days building keyword lists. With Qvery, our agents analyze your site and generate thousands of relevant queries in minutes. The tool does the work, not the marketer.

Qvery Assistant: Your AI Marketing Command Center

The Qvery Assistant is a conversational AI interface that puts the full power of Qvery's agent network at your fingertips. Ask questions, run audits, and trigger optimizations through natural language.

The Assistant is where the agentic vision comes to life. It's the single interface for interacting with all of Qvery's data and agents. Instead of clicking through dashboards and menus, you tell the Assistant what you want and get answers instantly.

Users interact with the Assistant in three ways:

Free typing: Ask anything in natural language. "What's my visibility trend for the past 30 days?" You get instant, data-backed answers specific to your brand.
Shortcuts: Single actions that save clicks. Export citations, generate a report, add a new topic.
Templates: Complex automations that chain multiple agents. Monthly visibility analysis, competitor deep dives, citation audits. One trigger starts the entire workflow.

The Assistant also runs GEO audits on demand: structured data, semantic HTML, content authority, all scored and delivered in seconds.

The Assistant is designed to feel like talking to a knowledgeable colleague. It's fast, contextual, and proactive. It doesn't just wait for commands. It suggests actions, flags issues, and recommends next steps.

How Qvery Works

Getting started with Qvery is radically simple:

Sign up: Simple form. No sales call required.
Enter your website URL: Qvery's agents immediately analyze your site, industry, and competitors.
Get data in minutes: The AI Engine Researcher generates topics, creates queries, and begins tracking your brand across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and more.

From there, Qvery runs 24/7. It tracks how AI engines talk about your brand, alerts you to changes in visibility and sentiment, and continuously discovers new queries as your content and the market evolve. Fifteen minutes from signup to your first AI visibility data.

The Vision Ahead

The AI Engine Researcher is the foundation. It collects visibility data and provides the intelligence that everything else builds on. Next, we're building the Mention Builder to automate brand mention creation at scale, the Content Optimizer to deliver page-by-page recommendations for AI visibility, and the UGC Agent to surface community conversations and prioritize engagement opportunities. The long-term vision: a full-stack AI marketing operating system where agents don't just inform, they execute.

Why This Matters

AI engines are becoming the primary way people discover products, services, and brands. Every brand that optimized for SEO will need to optimize for AI visibility. The companies that invest in this today will dominate their categories tomorrow. The ones that don't will become invisible.

We built Qvery because we saw this shift firsthand. We didn't just identify the problem. We built the solution. We deeply respect other companies in the space and see ourselves as students of the market. But we believe something not everyone has accepted yet: tools track, but agents work. And the teams that embrace AI agents today will be the ones leading their markets tomorrow.

We built Qvery because we're marketers who got tired of waiting for the right tools. AI is reshaping how brands are discovered. The teams that embrace AI agents today will be the ones leading their markets tomorrow.
