Measured on six things

AI search visibility audit & managed placements

Speed

Lighthouse mobile 50/100 with LCP 4.5s and TBT 748ms; desktop 77/100. CLS is clean at 0.017, so the issue is load weight and main-thread work, not layout jank.

Kollavo

About this app

Kollavo is a cutting-edge AI search visibility platform that helps brands understand and improve their presence in AI-generated recommendations.

The free audit takes 30 seconds and reveals your AI visibility score along with the exact brands and sources AI uses. For brands looking to take action, Kollavo Managed offers done-for-you outreach, content creation, and placement in the sources AI trusts, starting at $99/month with your first placement free. It's ideal for marketers, founders, and SEO professionals who want to stay ahead in the AI-driven search landscape.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Kollavo is a well-marketed entry into AI search visibility (GEO) — a category that is real, growing, and already crowded. Its strongest asset is the homepage: a mock report card that shows exactly what the product outputs, a free audit with no email gate, and a pricing page that clearly separates $49 self-serve tracking from $99 done-for-you placements. Design and usability are above average for an early-stage tool. Speed is the clear weak point — a 50/100 mobile Lighthouse score and 4.5-second LCP undercut the '30 seconds' pitch. Security is competent but lacks hardening headers and any published compliance. Accessibility is strong on automated checks with two easy fixes outstanding. Growth potential is solid but not exceptional: the wedge is real, the moat is thin, and the category's incumbents are moving fast.

Measure by measure

Usability

Free audit with no email gate, three numbered steps, and a pricing page that explains Entry vs Managed clearly. FAQ answers the obvious objections. Onboarding clarity is above average for the category.

Design

Coherent mint-to-green system, strong CTA contrast and a mock report card that actually shows the product. The dark green footer and the off-style maker graphic are the only seams.

Speed

Lighthouse mobile 50/100 with LCP 4.5s and TBT 748ms; desktop 77/100. CLS is clean at 0.017, so the issue is load weight and main-thread work, not layout jank.

Security

HTTPS enforced with HSTS, secure cookies, SPF and DMARC in place. Missing CSP, frame protection and Permissions-Policy, and no SOC 2, ISO or pen-test claims published anywhere on the site.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 95/100 with only contrast and heading-order failures. No WCAG statement or a11y page published, so the automated score is doing all the talking.

Growth

Real problem — brands genuinely don't know what AI says about them — with a specific wedge: free no-email audit plus done-for-you placements at $99/mo. Crowded category, thin moat.

Improvement areas

Mobile performance: 50/100 Lighthouse with 4.5s LCP and 748ms TBT
Security hardening: no CSP, frame protection or Permissions-Policy; no published compliance
Accessibility polish: contrast and heading-order failures plus no WCAG statement
Proof of efficacy: no published case studies showing placements actually change AI answers

Design & Usability

Kollavo's homepage does the hardest thing in SaaS marketing well: it shows the product instead of describing it. The mock report card — a real buyer question, ChatGPT/Gemini/Google logos, three competitor brands named, an 18/100 score — communicates the entire value proposition in one glance. The mint-to-green palette is consistent, the CTA is repeated without feeling spammy, and the three numbered steps remove any 'what does this actually do' friction. Usability follows through: the free audit requires no email, the FAQ pre-empts the obvious objections, and the pricing page draws a clean line between the $49 self-serve Entry plan and the $99 Managed tier. The seams are cosmetic — a dark green footer that arrives without transition, and a maker-media graphic that looks like it wandered in from a different site. Neither breaks the experience; both suggest a design system that hasn't been fully audited yet.

Speed & Security

Speed is the weak link. Lighthouse mobile scores 50/100 with a 4.5-second LCP and 748ms of total blocking time — on a page that promises a 30-second audit, a four-and-a-half-second first paint is an awkward contradiction. Desktop scores 77, which suggests the mobile build is carrying weight it doesn't need to. CLS is excellent at 0.017, so the problem is payload and main-thread work, not layout instability. Security is competent but unremarkable: HTTPS is enforced with HSTS, cookies are secure, SPF and DMARC are configured, and X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy are present. What's missing is the hardening layer — no Content-Security-Policy, no frame protection, no Permissions-Policy — and there is no published SOC 2, ISO 27001, pen-test summary or bug bounty anywhere on the site. For a tool that asks users to submit their domain and pay monthly, a security or trust page would be a cheap, credible addition.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores 95/100 on Lighthouse, which is genuinely strong for an early-stage product. The two failures — insufficient color contrast and non-sequential heading order — are among the cheapest fixes in the entire WCAG checklist, and their presence suggests the audit was run once and the findings weren't actioned. There is no accessibility statement or WCAG conformance claim on the site, so buyers who need that documentation have nothing to point at. Growth is the more interesting question. The problem Kollavo names is real: brands increasingly cannot see what ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews say about them, and the free 30-second audit with no email gate is a genuinely smart acquisition hook. The $99/mo done-for-you placement tier is a concrete differentiator against SEMrush, which sells tracking but not outreach. The honest limit is the moat: 'we get you cited in the sources AI trusts' is a service every SEO agency is now selling, the category is filling up fast, and the domain is only months old with a single Twitter profile as its public footprint. Kollavo can win a slice of this market on speed and price — but it needs to prove placements actually move AI answers, or it's selling hope with a dashboard.

Conclusion

Kollavo is worth a free audit — the no-email gate means there's no reason not to run one and see what ChatGPT actually says about your brand. Whether it's worth $99/month depends entirely on whether the placements move the needle, and that's the claim the site wisely refuses to guarantee. If you're a marketer who needs visibility data now, the $49 Entry tier is a reasonable bet. If you're buying the Managed tier, ask for evidence of past placements before you commit. The product is competent, the positioning is sharp, and the execution has obvious room to improve — which is exactly what you'd expect from a company that registered its domain this year.

Suggestions for improvement

Fix the mobile performance: 4.5s LCP and 748ms TBT are dragging a 50/100 score on the device most buyers use
Add a Content-Security-Policy, frame protection and Permissions-Policy — the header checklist is 9/13
Publish a security/trust page with your data handling, and pursue SOC 2 if you're selling to mid-sized companies
Fix the two accessibility failures (contrast, heading order) and publish a short WCAG conformance statement
