Hello everyone, curerntly looking into AEO tools with content generation or content agent capabilities. We've tried Profound but found it pretty lackluster (they're more focused on templates than actual content in my opnion) Any suggestion that you guys might have would be great.

If it matters, my niche is in the HVAC industry, so we're trying to get cited on LLms especially if people look up my town for recommendations.

So the reasoin I'm asking this is because I randomly cited by ChatGPT a few weeks ago after one of our comparison pages started picking up traction, and the traffic spike was honestly bigger than some of our SEO wins this year. Been trying to understand what actually got us indexed there in the first place, I did my research and narrowed it down to these four, if you have any other recommendations, let me know. (P.S. pricing is a big deal for me, I am not willing to spend $500 / monthly for a product.)

Hey so I run a small arborist service, so my content needs are weirdly specific, tree diseases, local regulations, seasonal pruning, that kind of stuff. Most AI tools I’ve tried either go too generic or just rewrite what’s already out there. (Tools I've tried so far for content is Copy.AI)

Also, I've been looking into AEO tools that also have a content agent layer, something that actually uses your site data, citations, and what’s already getting picked up in AI search to guide what to create next and all that. Is anyone using something like this where it actually helps you produce content that gets cited, not just rank? Or does it still need a lot of manual input to make it usable?
