Compare AI visibility tools
Compare the evidence behind the dashboard.
Use the same business questions when evaluating tools. Ask to see the original answers and how each figure was counted.
- Define your questions, locations and required AI platforms.
- Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same task.
- Record gaps and assumptions before deciding.
Your evaluation checklist
| Area | Ask the supplier | Check for yourself |
|---|---|---|
| AI platforms | Which consumer surfaces are measured? | An API response and a consumer answer need separate labels. |
| Questions and locations | Can you use your own prompts and markets? | Ask to see the saved question wording and its version. |
| Collection coverage | How are missing and failed checks shown? | A failed capture must not count as a completed answer without a mention. |
| Evidence and sources | Can you open the original answer and cited page? | Check whether a link was cited or merely appeared in the text. |
| Trends and comparisons | Are periods and question sets comparable? | Ask how scope changes and small samples are labelled. |
| Visits and enquiries | Which analytics source supports each outcome? | A business mention is not a measured visit or enquiry. |
| Access and control | Who can manage keys, billing and team permissions? | Try the roles and revocation controls you will actually use. |
| Exports and workload | Can your team repeat the review and keep its evidence? | Test a real report and record the manual work involved. |
No supplier ranking or competitor price comparison is implied. Record what each demonstration actually shows.
