Buy a spot in that answer

There are 2 spots, because 2 is how many appear in the answer. Rank between them is your bid and nothing else — and it leaks 8% every day, so what you paid is not what you hold and a spot held is a spot topped up. The floor climbs $5 at every midnight UTC, which makes today the cheapest this ever gets. None of it touches the measured ranking.

Questions people ask about AI visibility

Best AI visibility tools 2026? What do the ranking articles actually say?
By coverage across the 6 articles that rank for this buying question, Profound is named most often (9 of 6), followed by Peec AI (9/6), Otterly.ai (8/6), Scrunch AI (8/6). AI SERP counts which tools those articles name rather than scoring the products themselves, because those articles are what an assistant reads before it answers. No place in that ranking is for sale.
What is AEO (answer engine optimization)?
AEO is the practice of getting a brand named inside the answers AI assistants write, rather than ranking in a list of blue links. It matters because an assistant answers from a handful of pages it retrieves: if those pages do not name you, no amount of traditional ranking puts you in the answer. GEO (generative engine optimization) is the same discipline under a different name; the terminology is still unsettled in 2026 and both are in active use.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO optimises for position in a ranked list of links. AEO and GEO optimise for being named inside a generated answer, where there is no list and usually no click. The mechanical difference is the unit of competition: SEO competes for a rank on a results page, AEO and GEO compete for a mention in a paragraph assembled from other people's pages. That is why coverage across the source articles — what this page measures — predicts AI visibility better than a keyword rank does.
How does AI SERP rank these tools?
We take the 6 articles that currently rank for this question — the pages an assistant retrieves when someone asks it — read each one in full, and count every product it names along with the rank it gave. A tool's score is how many of those 6 articles name it. Every source is listed with its URL, the date it was read, a frozen archive copy, and a label for what it sells. 5 of the 6 rank their own product first, and that is marked on every row.
Is placement on AI SERP for sale?
2 positions are, and only those. They sit above the measured ranking, are labelled sponsored on every row, and move nothing below them. Rank between sponsors is standing, standing decays 8% a day, and the floor climbs $5 at every midnight UTC from $10 up to a $99 cap. The measured ranking underneath is not for sale at any price — a board nobody trusts is a board nobody visits.
How do I get my tool into the measured ranking?
Get named by the articles that rank for the question. The ranking is a count of those articles, so the only route onto it is to be in them — which is the same thing this site measures and the same thing AEO tools sell. If a source names your tool and this board is missing it, or a source is misread, corrections are made within 48 hours against the archived copy.
How this is measured, and what is for sale

The measured ranking. We read the 6 articles that rank on search for this buying question — the pages an assistant retrieves when someone asks it — and counted every product each one names. A tool's score is how many of those 6 name it. That is the whole method, and none of it is for sale.

The exact question behind this page:

What are the best AI visibility tools in 2026? I run marketing at a B2B SaaS company and I want to track and improve whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend us. Give me your actual recommendations.

The 6 articles, and what each one sells. Every number above is checkable against these:

Those 6 came from Claude Code WebSearch tool (US-region results, not signed in) (en-US) on 2026-08-26, searching: "best AI search visibility GEO tools 2026 get cited by ChatGPT Perplexity brand monitoring". 2 result(s) ranked but were excluded — see data/sources.json for why. The question was reworded on 2026-08-29, after these were chosen. A selection check on 2026-08-30 searching "best AI visibility tools 2026" found 1 of 6 still ranking, and no independent source among the pages that do. The board below is still the earlier reading, not a new one.

The sponsored block, in full. There are exactly 2 spots for sale, because 2 is how many show up in the answer — we do not sell a rank that appears nowhere. Rank between them is your standing, highest first. Your standing is what you paid minus 8% of it every day, so holding a spot means topping it up. The floor to get on starts at $10 and climbs $5 every midnight UTC, capped at $99. Get outbid and you pay only the difference to climb back; there are no refunds. It is an auction, it is labelled on every row, and it moves nothing in the measured ranking.

If you are outbid you are not deleted — you keep your standing and show on the board as waiting, with the exact top-up that would put you back in the answer. Be aware that waiting alone will not promote you: every standing decays by the same 8% each day, so the order between bidders who are already holding does not change on its own. Rank moves when someone pays, and only then.

A red square in the ranking means that article is published by the tool in that row. 5 of the 6 articles rank themselves first.
