¿Cómo ves aquí?
The phrase is declarative, not interrogative; no question mark or accent on 'como'.
Como ve aquí
Mixes informal verb form with formal pronoun; use 've' only with 'usted' or 'se' for neutral.
Como ves aqui
Missing accent on 'aquí' changes the meaning; the adverb always carries an accent.

Cultural Tip
In informal Spanish (tú form) you say 'Como ves aquí…'. In a formal setting or when speaking to someone you address with 'usted', switch to 'Como ve aquí…' or the more neutral 'Como se ve aquí…'. Also, avoid adding an accent to 'como' unless it is a question ('¿Cómo?').
