Over the past month I’ve been researching AI visibility / GEO platforms. There are now dozens of tools trying to solve the same core problem:

How do brands appear inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews?

I started compiling the main players I could find and here’s the list so far:

1-Profound — enterprise AI visibility analytics and competitive monitoring

2-Scrunch AI — tracks brand presence across AI search engines

3-Otterly — monitors mentions in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity

4-AthenaHQ — AI search visibility scoring and reporting

5-Peec AI — prompt-level tracking and citation monitoring

6-Promptwatch — LLM interaction and prompt observability

7-Vismore — AI answer monitoring for marketing teams

8-Mentionable — tracks entity and brand mentions in AI-generated responses

9-Rankscale — GEO rankings and AI search performance tracking

10-Friction AI — measures recommendation share across AI platforms

11-Gauge — dashboards for AI visibility analytics

12-SearchTides — AI search performance intelligence

13-Meridian— visibility monitoring for AI-driven discover GrackerAI AI SEO and optimization workflows

14-Nobori — AI search observability and monitoring

15-RankPrompt --AI visibility monitoring and content optimzation tool, also compares competitors ranking and share where your brand is lacking

Most platforms focus heavily on citations, mentions, and rankings

Reddit + third-party authority signals seem extremely important

Very few tools can tie AI visibility back to actual business outcomes

Everyone is still experimenting with what metrics matter most GEO/AEO feels more like the next layer of SEO rather than a replacement

The space still feels very early, but it’s moving fast.

I want to know what others here are seeing:

Which AI visibility tools are you actively using? Any platforms actually delivering useful insights?

I had been experimenting with a few AI visibility / AEO tools recently because I’m trying to understand how brands actually show up inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc. Traditional SEO tools still don’t really cover this well so I wanted to see what people are using.
So far I’ve tested: Profound ($99/ month) Peec AI ($95/month)
RankPrompt ($39/month)

and a lot of manual prompt testing IMO these tools are less about rankings in the traditional SEO sense and more about:
which prompts mention your brand

where competitors appear but you don’t

what sources/models seem to influence visibility

how consistent AI citations actually are Manual testing works at first, but it gets difficult once you start tracking dozens of prompts across multiple AI tools. It look like kind of like early SEO years ago. Useful directionally, but not always consistent. I want to know if anyone here is actively using AI visibility/AEO tools yet, or still mostly doing this manually?
