Changing a laravel php count into an AJAX live count and changing buttons on click

I am creating a visit system where people can visit many places and i have created the code with ajax and laravel that allows for a button to be clicked to confirm a user has visited a place and they can also undo this by clicking the same button. I want to convert the code to follow so that i also have the following but my AJAX JS skills are limited:

• I want a live count so that if the user has visited a place it will add to the count and be updated to tell how many people have visited the place
• i Want to change the button if the user has visited the place to show that the button has been clicked and they have visited.

Here is what i have so far:

PHP:

    $place_id = $request['place_id'];
    $place = place::find($place_id);
    $visited = Auth::user()->visitors()->where('place_id', $place_id)->first();

if($visited == null) {
            $visited = new Visit();
            $visited->user_id = Auth::user();
            $visited->place_id = $place->id;
            $visited->save();
            return null;
        }
    else{

      $visited->delete();
         return null;
    }

HTML:

<a class="btn btn-not-visited visit" data-id="">Visited?</a>
           @if($place->visitors->count() == 1)
            <h5 class="visitor-count"> Visitor has visited this place</h5>
            @else
            <h5 class="visitor-count"> visitors have visited this place</h5>
            @endif

Ajax JS:

var token = '';
    var urlVisit = '';

    $('.visit').on('click', function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            method: 'POST',
            url: urlVisit,
            data: {
                place_id: $(event.target).data("id"),
                _token: token
            }
        }).done(function() {
            //
        });
    });

Here is the button i want to show if the user has visited a place

<a class="btn btn-visited visit" data-id="">I've Visited</a>

how do i add to this code to achieve both bullet points?
