What is the difference between an AI visibility tool and an AI visibility service?

A tool measures: it asks AI engines your questions and reports whether they name and cite you. A service does the work that changes the answers, such as publishing your facts as structured data and datasets and fixing your listings, and usually measures too. CiteMy is a service that builds the data and measures it every week.

Is CiteMy a replacement for Profound, Otterly.AI, Peec AI, or Semrush?

Not for a team that wants its own analytics platform. CiteMy includes a weekly share-of-voice report, but it is built around doing the work for one local business, not around a dashboard for a marketing team. If you have staff to act on a tool's reports, a tool may be the better value.

Which AI engines does each option cover?

Coverage differs and changes often. As checked on 2026-10-01: Otterly.AI includes ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot, with other engines as add-ons; Peec AI lets you choose three models on its standard plans; Semrush's toolkit lists ChatGPT, AI Overviews, and AI Mode; Profound's Enterprise plan tracks up to nine engines. CiteMy's plan covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude.

How much do AI visibility tools cost?

As checked on 2026-10-01: Otterly.AI from $29 a month, Peec AI from $95 a month, Semrush's AI SEO Toolkit from $99 a month, and Profound by quote beyond a free trial. CiteMy is $2,000 a month for the done-for-you service, month to month.

Can any of these guarantee my business gets recommended by ChatGPT?

No. No one controls what an AI engine says. Tools measure the answers; services like ours do the work that makes a business findable and quotable, and report what moved. Be wary of anyone who promises a ranking.

Can I use CiteMy alongside my SEO agency?

Yes. Your agency keeps rankings, ads, and the website; we build the AI data and run the weekly share-of-voice report. You can share our plan with them.

AI visibility services and tools compared

Most AI visibility products are monitoring software: they tell you whether the engines name and cite you. CiteMy is a done-for-you service that builds the data that gets a local business cited, and then measures it. Both have a place. Here is how they compare, including when another option is the better fit.

Vendor facts checked on Oct 1, 2026, each linked to the vendor's own page.

Monitoring tells you whether you are cited. Building the data is what gets you cited.

A tracking tool asks the engines your questions and reports who they name. That is useful, and we do it too. But a report does not publish your prices as structured data, write your llms.txt, build a dataset from your own jobs, or fix the listing with the old phone number. Someone still has to do that work. With software, that someone is you or your team. With CiteMy, it is us, and the weekly measurement shows whether it moved the answers.

When something else is the better fit

We would rather send you to the right option than sell you the wrong one.

You have a marketing team and want a dashboard

If someone on staff will read the reports and do the fixes, a tracking tool such as Otterly.AI or Peec AI costs far less than a done-for-you service.

You already live in Semrush

If your team or agency runs SEO in Semrush, its AI SEO Toolkit puts AI tracking next to the rest of your work.

You are a national or enterprise brand

Profound is built for large brands across many engines and regions. CiteMy is built for local home-services businesses, one per city and trade.

Your priority is Google rankings or a new website

A traditional SEO agency does that work. CiteMy can sit beside your agency: they keep rankings, ads, and the site build; we own the AI data and the weekly share-of-voice report.

Your city and trade are taken

We take one client per city and trade. If yours is taken, we will tell you, and a tool or another provider may be the right call while you wait.
