Visiblie, a young Belgian startup founded less than a year ago, has secured €500,000 through a convertible loan to push its AI search visibility platform, a market carving out an increasingly central space in digital marketing. The round was backed by Seeder Fund, BeAngels, and technology entrepreneur Steven Tielemans, who will also join as a board advisor.

The heart of the offering is not just another tracking tool: "Anyone can build a tracking dashboard," explained co-founder Gilles Praet. "The difference is in the data." Visiblie has developed proprietary datasets that reflect how AI search models behave across vertical sectors, from insurance to SaaS, where norms, compliance, and specialized language impose different rules of engagement. A proprietary six-phase framework guides the analysis, while an AI agent can implement recommendations under human supervision.

The need to control visibility in LLM-generated results is now a given for anyone operating online, but for companies in regulated sectors, the stakes are even higher. An inaccurate or out-of-context answer can have repercussions far beyond ranking: compliance, reputation, and informational value are all on the line. In this light, Visiblie's ability to train recommendations on vertical data addresses a concrete need that goes beyond traditional SEO optimization.

The sector-specific data approach echoes dynamics familiar to those working on on-premise LLM deployment: here too, the key often lies in the quality and specificity of domain data, not just raw model power. While Visiblie's platform remains a cloud service, the logic of vertical personalization raises questions about sovereignty and control that many organizations face. For those evaluating self-hosted architectures, trade-offs exist between the richness of external data and the confidentiality of internal ones — a topic on which AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks at /llm-onpremise.

The startup, which already serves hundreds of users across Belgium, the Middle East, Mexico, Australia, and Singapore, has signed an agreement with PwC focused precisely on regulated sectors such as financial services and insurance. The funding will be used to strengthen its SME market presence and fuel international expansion, with a seed round already planned to enter the United States.
