Introducing heeb: The API for AI SEO and LLM Visibility Data
Discover heeb, the API powering AI visibility and SEO automation.
Large language models are becoming the new search engines. When users ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity questions, these systems now decide which products and brands get visibility. That shift creates a new kind of data problem.
How do you track what these AI engines say about certain topics, brands, or markets at scale, and in a structured way?
That’s why we built heeb.ai, an API-first solution for AI SEO. It’s designed for developers, SEO professionals, and data automation teams who need reliable access to AI visibility data programmatically.
What Is heeb.ai?
heeb.ai is an AI SEO API that aggregates responses from leading AI models using a single prompt. It returns structured JSON data that includes model answers, mentions, sentiment, sources, citations, and visibility metrics you can use for automation, analytics, or continuous monitoring.
No dashboards, no UI lock-in, just developer-ready data, customizable for any workflow or platform.
Why It Matters
Traditional SEO APIs track how you rank in SERPs. heeb.ai tracks how you appear in LLM answers, the next evolution of visibility. As more users move from search queries to AI assistants, the places LLMs cite and mention will define brand reach.
Developers can treat this as a new dataset: how AI interprets the web. SEO professionals can integrate it directly into pipelines that track mentions, sentiment, and citations across models.

}visibility is the share of queried models that mentioned your entity, from 0 to 100. sentiment averages the per-model labels onto a scale from -1 to 1.
This output is structured to plug into any workflow or data pipeline, from analytics dashboards to automation tools like n8n, Zapier, or Make.
Key Capabilities
- Multi-LLM Access: Query OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, Perplexity Sonar, and Google AI Mode in a single API call.
- Structured AI SEO Data: Receive JSON responses with mentions, sentiment, citations, and sources.
- Visibility Scoring: A 0 to 100 score for the share of queried models that mentioned your entity.
- Sentiment and Mention Tracking: A sentiment label per model, plus an aggregate score from -1 to 1.
- Source Extraction: Get the URLs, titles, and content fragments the models drew on and cited.
- Competitor Mentions: Every brand and product a model named comes back ranked by position, not only your own.
Use Cases
1. Build AI Visibility Reports
Automate recurring AI visibility or mention reports for your clients or brand categories.
2. Monitor AI Reputation
Track sentiment changes over time across different AI engines. Feed that data into BI or alert systems.
3. Competitor Tracking
Benchmark how competing brands are mentioned by LLMs, and identify topics or products they dominate.
4. Workflow Automation
Combine with workflow tools such as n8n or Make to create triggers that run daily or weekly queries and store structured data in your favorite database or dashboard.
5. Integrate in SEO or Data Products
Add AI layer intelligence to your current SEO platform or research tool using heeb.ai as a data source.
Built for Developers
heeb.ai is developer-first. You communicate with a single API endpoint, authenticate with an API key, and get machine-readable results consistently formatted across models.
No scraping, no manual parsing, no model juggling. Just clean JSON you can build on top of.
You can:
- Automate AI search tracking pipelines.
- Enrich datasets with AI visibility metrics.
- Create dashboards comparing LLM responses globally.
- Pair it with tools like OpenAI functions, LangChain, or Python scripts.
Why It’s Different
Most SEO APIs stop at search results. heeb.ai takes you one step deeper, into how AI itself processes those results and represents your topics.
Instead of measuring where you rank, you can measure how you’re described across conversational models.
For developers, that opens a new layer of analytics. For SEO professionals, it’s a new visibility metric that fits directly into technical workflows.
