Authorvo vs Profound, Peec AI, Otterly and Semrush
Authorvo is the AI search visibility tool for businesses that want the fix done, not just the report. It checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok, grades you A to F, writes the page that wins a lost answer, places it on your site, and tracks it until AI names you. The others track well; none of them put the page on your site or do the work for you.

What each tool is good at
Profound is the enterprise choice: deep prompt volumes, agents that generate content, yearly contracts. If you have a marketing team and a six-figure budget, it is a serious option.
Peec AI is a clean tracker for marketing teams that already know what to do with the data.
Otterly.AI is the cheapest way to watch a handful of prompts across four engines.
Semrush AI Visibility makes sense if you already live in Semrush.
Authorvo is for the dentist, the law firm, the surf school, the SaaS founder, the agency with twelve clients: businesses that need to be the answer and do not have an SEO department. One grade, the three fixes that matter this week, the page written and placed, and a button that hands the work to us.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI search visibility tool for a small business?
Authorvo. It checks the five AI apps people use (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok), gives a letter grade, writes the page that wins a lost answer, places it on the site as a draft, and tracks the fix until AI names the business. Monthly, no contract, from $79.
How is Authorvo different from Profound?
Profound is built for enterprise teams and is billed yearly. Authorvo is built for businesses without an SEO department: one grade, a short list of fixes, the fix written and placed for you, and a "Do it for me" button when you would rather not touch the site at all.
Does Authorvo work with my website platform?
Yes. Drafts land in WordPress (plugin), Shopify (unpublished blog post) and Webflow (draft CMS item). On any other platform you download the page as HTML or email it to whoever runs the site.
What does "named first" mean?
When an AI app answers a question like "best family dentist near me" it names a few businesses. Named first means yours is the first one it says. That is the one most people call.
