XOVI

What XOVI does

XOVI GmbH is a Cologne-based SaaS company founded in 2009 that develops an all-in-one search engine optimization (SEO) software suite. The platform consolidates keyword research, rank tracking, backlink analysis, site auditing, competitor analysis, search analytics, and white-label reporting under a single subscription, with a proprietary OVI (Visibility Index) serving as its core visibility metric. The technical stack is cloud-delivered, hosted across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure sub-processors with Cloudflare edge protection, and the suite is accessible via a self-serve web application at suite.xovi.net with a 14-day free trial and no credit card requirement.

The company monetizes through two flat-rate subscription tiers — Pro at €99/month net (single-user) and Business at €149/month net (multi-user) — both with all features included, a contractual price guarantee, and optional usage-based charges for additional crawl capacity. A partner program offers 20% lifetime commission on referred customers. In 2017 XOVI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of WebPros Group, which provides embedded distribution through the Plesk and cPanel hosting platforms and shared infrastructure across entities in Switzerland, Germany, the US, and other markets. Customer segments are horizontal and skew toward SEO agencies, freelancers, and in-house marketing teams across DACH and broader Europe (DE, ES, UK, FR, IT, AT, CH), with named accounts spanning agencies (Seocomplete), telecom (Telekom), media (Audible), and job platforms (Monster). In 2024 the company launched XOVI AI, adding an OpenAI-powered AI Writer for generative SEO content and AI Signal for brand visibility monitoring across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Mistral.
