Outrank
An SEO and AI search platform that writes and publishes articles daily, builds backlinks and places your brand in roundup articles on other blogs.
outrank.so9.4
out of 10
Editor's choice. Our editors rank Outrank first: it is the only tool here that covers the whole loop, from content built for AI answers to placements on the lists AI assistants cite.
Best for: Startups, SaaS and e-commerce brands that want the content and third-party mentions AI assistants draw on, done for them.
Outrank works on the inputs AI assistants use to pick sources rather than on a dashboard. It researches the questions your buyers ask, builds a 30-day plan and publishes an article to your site every day, with source links and your brand voice. In parallel it places links to your site inside articles on other blogs and checks each one after it goes live. Its Backlinks service goes further, placing a full article on a DR 30+ blog with a section about your product, and putting you first when that article is a roundup. That matters because Outrank's own benchmark of 2,671 cited sources found listicles were 30% of what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude cited.
The main plan costs $99 a month for 30 articles, auto-publishing and backlinks, with unlimited users. The trade-offs: the first-place roundup placements need the $899 Backlinks Scale plan, and Outrank does not track prompt-level AI mentions inside the app, so you will want a free check with its AI Visibility Checker or a separate tracker to measure results. Outrank is our pick because it is the only tool here that both creates the pages AI quotes and gets you onto the lists it cites.
Standout feature
It is the only tool here that both publishes the pages AI quotes and places your brand first in roundups on other blogs.
Use cases
SaaS founders
Publish daily articles on the questions buyers ask ChatGPT
Outcome: More of your own pages for AI to quote
E-commerce brands
Get products placed first in roundup articles on established blogs
Outcome: Third-party mentions AI assistants can cite
Agencies
Run content and backlinks for several client sites
Outcome: Volume discounts of up to 20%
Key features
- Keyword and question research turned into a 30-day content plan
- 30 articles a month written with source links and auto-published to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Framer, Wix, Notion, Ghost or a webhook
- Automated backlinks inside real articles on other blogs, each verified after it goes live
- Backlinks service: full articles on DR 30+ blogs with a 250 to 350 word section about you and first place when the article is a roundup
- Free AI Visibility Checker and AI Citation Analyzer that show which brands and sources ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude cite
- Articles in 150+ languages, unlimited users and rewrites of slipping articles
Pros
- Does the publishing and the off-site mentions instead of only reporting on them
- One $99 plan covers daily articles, auto-publishing and backlinks
- Roundup placements put your product first on the kind of listicles AI answers cite
- Unlimited users and volume discounts for agencies with several sites
Cons
- Prompt-level AI citation tracking is not in the app; Outrank points you to third-party tools such as Ahrefs for that
- The roundup placements with first place sit on the Backlinks Scale plan at $899 a month
- Results follow your SEO timeline, so AI mentions build over weeks and months
Rank 2 · Runner-up
Airefs
An AI visibility platform that writes articles, finds discussions to join and helps you get into the third-party pages AI cites.
getairefs.com8.6
out of 10
Best for: Startups and small teams that want guided actions at a low monthly price.
Airefs is built around a simple idea from its own homepage: to be in the answer, you need to be in the sources AI uses. It attacks three of them. Its agent writes articles aimed at gaps where competitors get cited and you do not, it surfaces Reddit, Quora and LinkedIn threads that shape AI answers and drafts a comment, and it lists the third-party articles AI cites in your category with contact details and a drafted outreach email.
Tracking is included too, with prompt monitoring, share of voice, AI crawler analytics and AI traffic. Pricing starts at $24 a month billed yearly, which makes it the cheapest way on this list to get both tracking and action. The catch is that self-serve plans give you drafts, not placements: you press send and post the comments. Teams that want the work done can buy its done-for-you or brand mentions services.
Standout feature
It finds the pages AI cites in your category and drafts the outreach to get you onto them.
Use cases
Early-stage startups
Join the Reddit and Quora threads AI cites for your category
Outcome: Brand presence in sources AI reads
Content marketers
Write articles where competitors are cited and you are not
Outcome: Fewer content gaps
Key features
- AI agent writes articles that close gaps where competitors are cited and you are not
- Finds Reddit, Quora and LinkedIn discussions that influence AI answers and drafts comments
- Identifies third-party articles AI cites in your category, finds contacts and drafts outreach
- Prompt tracking, share of voice and source insights
- AI crawler and AI traffic analytics, plus an MCP server
Pros
- Covers your own content, discussions and earned mentions in one tool
- Lowest entry price on this list
- Done-for-you and brand mention services if you want help
Cons
- You still send the outreach and post the comments yourself on self-serve plans
- Google AI Overview tracking costs extra on each plan
- Article volume is small on the entry plan
Rank 3 · Also great
Otterly.AI
An AI search monitoring tool with citation source tracking, GEO audits and optimization recommendations.
otterly.ai8.4
out of 10
Best for: Small teams that want to see which sources AI cites before deciding where to get mentioned.
Otterly.AI is a monitoring tool first, but its citation source tracking is what makes it useful for getting mentioned. For each prompt you track, it shows which domains and links the AI engines cited, which tells you exactly which listicles, review sites and forums you need to appear on. Its GEO audit, crawlability check and content check flag problems on your own pages, and every plan includes optimization recommendations.
The Lite plan costs $29 a month for 15 prompts on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, with unlimited team members. That is enough to find your first targets, but it stops there: Otterly does not write articles or secure placements, and Claude, Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons. Pair it with a content or outreach tool if you want the work done.
Standout feature
Citation source tracking from $29 a month shows which pages you need to be on.
Use cases
Solo marketers
Find the pages AI cites for your top 15 buyer questions
Outcome: A target list for outreach
SEO teams
Audit pages for AI crawlability and content gaps
Outcome: Fixes that make pages easier to cite
Key features
- Citation source and link citation analysis for every tracked prompt
- Generative engine optimization audit, crawlability audit and content check
- AI search optimization recommendations
- Tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, with Claude, AI Mode and Gemini as add-ons
- Prompt research and query fan-out tools
Pros
- Cheapest credible way to see which pages AI cites for your prompts
- Unlimited team members on every plan
- Simple setup and clear reports
Cons
- Does not write content or place mentions for you
- Lite includes only 15 prompts and 3 recommendations a week
- Claude, Gemini and AI Mode cost extra
Rank 4
Writesonic
An AI search growth platform that tracks visibility and acts on it with AI articles, site audits and agents.
writesonic.com8.4
out of 10
Best for: Marketing teams that want tracking and AI content in one subscription.
Writesonic has reshaped its AI writer into what it calls an AI search growth engine: track where AI ignores you, fix it with content, citations and technical work, then measure the lift. Every plan pairs AI visibility tracking with an allowance of AI articles and site audits, so you can act on a gap the day you see it. Its Action Center and agents cover off-page work as well as on-page edits.
Starter costs $79 a month billed annually for 50 prompts, 15 AI articles and 10 site audits, which is fair for one brand. The limits show up quickly: Starter tracks only ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews for one user, the Action Center is a small trial on Growth and full only on Enterprise, and agentic workflows are capped at trial runs on self-serve plans.
Standout feature
Every plan pairs AI visibility tracking with monthly AI articles and site audits.
Use cases
Content teams
Turn missing prompts into AI-written articles
Outcome: Faster response to visibility gaps
Growth teams
Track AI visibility and site health in one tool
Outcome: One subscription instead of two
Key features
- Tracks ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, with all 9 AI platforms on Enterprise
- AI articles included in every plan, from 15 a month on Starter
- Site audits to fix technical visibility gaps
- Action Center with on-page and off-page actions on Growth (trial) and Enterprise
- Agentic workflows, sentiment analysis and AI ads monitoring
Pros
- Content creation and AI tracking share one subscription
- Clear plan tiers with published prices
- Agents that target both on-page and off-page fixes
Cons
- The full Action Center is Enterprise only
- Starter tracks only three AI platforms and one user
- Agentic workflows are limited to trial runs below Enterprise
Rank 5
Peec AI
An AI search analytics platform with source analysis, gap analysis and recommended actions for marketing teams and agencies.
peec.ai8.3
out of 10
Best for: Marketing teams that want detailed source data and prioritized actions.
Peec AI is best known as a tracker, but its Act features are what earn it a place here. Gap analysis lists the sources that appear often and name competitors but not you, broken down by domain, subdomain and URL, and recommended actions rank the opportunities and split them into earned and owned. Agent actions can then generate work from that data using pre-built or custom skills.
Starter costs $95 a month for 50 prompts on 3 models with daily tracking, or 4,500 AI answers a month, and every plan includes unlimited users. That is more expensive per prompt than Otterly.AI, and you still need to do the outreach and writing yourself. For teams that want precise targets before they spend on content or PR, it is a strong choice.
Standout feature
Gap analysis shows the exact URLs that name competitors but not you.
Use cases
PR teams
Find the domains that cite competitors but not you
Outcome: A ranked outreach list
Agencies
Report visibility and actions across client brands
Outcome: Clear priorities per client
Key features
- Gap analysis of sources that name competitors but not you, down to domain and URL
- Recommended actions ranked and grouped into earned and owned
- Agent actions generated from your data with pre-built and custom skills
- Daily visibility, position, sentiment and share of voice tracking
- AI shopping visibility from a Shopify or CSV product catalog
Pros
- Gap analysis points straight at the pages to get onto
- Unlimited users on every plan
- Clear monthly AI answer counts per plan
Cons
- Entry plan allows only 3 AI models and 1 project
- Does not publish content or secure placements for you
Rank 6
AirOps
A content engineering platform with AI search insights, agents and workflows to research, publish and refresh content.
airops.com8.1
out of 10
Best for: Content teams that want to build repeatable AI content workflows at scale.
AirOps positions itself as the partner behind your AI search strategy, combining agents, data, brand governance and a strategy team. In practice it is a workflow platform: you build or adapt workflows that research topics, write and refresh content against your brand kit and knowledge bases, and push it to your CMS, with human review and approvals built in. Its insights point to onsite, offsite, social and community opportunities across more than 10 answer engines on Pro.
Solo and Pro start free, with tasks as the unit of billing and extra Solo tasks at $0.025 each. That makes it cheap to try but hard to forecast, and getting value means investing time in workflow setup. Larger teams with content operations staff get the most from it, and Enterprise adds custom agents and a dedicated account manager.
Standout feature
Workflows let you research, write and refresh content for AI search at scale with human approvals.
Use cases
Content operations teams
Refresh hundreds of pages for AI search on a schedule
Outcome: Repeatable updates with human review
Enterprise marketers
Run content workflows under one brand kit
Outcome: Consistent voice at volume
Key features
- Insights across 10+ answer engines on Pro (ChatGPT only on Solo)
- Onsite, offsite, social and community opportunities
- Workflows, grids and agents to research, publish and refresh content
- Brand kits, knowledge bases and human review with approvals
- CMS, SEO and AEO integrations, MCP and API
Pros
- Flexible enough to build almost any content workflow
- Free entry plans to test before committing
- Covers offsite, social and community opportunities, not just your site
Cons
- Task-based billing is hard to estimate in advance
- Building workflows takes more setup than a done-for-you tool
- Solo includes ChatGPT insights only
Rank 7
Goodie
An end-to-end AEO platform covering prompt research, monitoring, optimization actions, content and revenue attribution.
higoodie.com8.1
out of 10
Best for: Mid-size brands that want a guided AEO program with strategist support.
Goodie sells a closed loop: research the prompts customers use, monitor mentions and citations, act on prioritized gaps across owned and earned assets, then attribute revenue. Content Studio writes AI-optimized content in your brand voice, Optimization Actions turns gaps into a playbook, and Brand Command checks what AI says about you against facts you set, which helps when assistants get your product wrong.
Core costs $295 a month for 110 prompts across 5 models, MCP access and 50 optimizations a month, with unlimited seats and AEO strategist support. Goodie says openly that some platforms start lower, and they do. It suits brands that want a managed program with attribution, less so small teams on a tight budget.
Standout feature
Brand Command checks what AI says about you against the facts you set.
Use cases
Consumer brands
Correct inaccurate AI claims about products
Outcome: More accurate AI answers
Retailers
Track how products appear in AI shopping
Outcome: Product-level visibility data
Key features
- Optimization Actions: a prioritized playbook across owned and earned assets
- Content Studio for AI-optimized content in your brand voice
- Visibility monitoring with deep citation analysis and sentiment
- Brand Command checks AI claims about you against facts you set
- Revenue attribution and AI agent analytics
Pros
- Runs research, action and measurement in one loop
- AEO strategist support and unlimited seats on every plan
- Agentic commerce tracking for product brands
Cons
- Starts at $295 a month
- Core tracks 5 models and 110 prompts
- Action allowances are capped per month
Rank 8
Semrush
An SEO suite with an AI Visibility Toolkit for tracking, plus content and AI PR tools for earning the citations.
semrush.com8.1
out of 10
Best for: SEO teams already on Semrush that want AI visibility next to their keyword data.
Semrush covers more of the job than most trackers, but across separate toolkits. The AI Visibility Toolkit benchmarks your brand's mentions and sentiment, finds prompts and topics to target, tracks custom prompts daily and audits your site for issues that block AI crawlers. The AI PR toolkit adds an AI-cited media finder and journalist recommendations, so you can find and pitch the outlets AI already quotes, and the content toolkit writes and optimizes articles.
The AI Visibility Toolkit costs $99 a month per domain billed annually for 25 prompts, and the combined Starter SEO + AI Search plan is $199 a month. Adding AI PR starts at $149 a month billed annually. For teams already using Semrush that is a natural extension. For anyone else, assembling the pieces gets expensive and the interface takes time to learn.
Standout feature
Its AI-cited media finder shows which outlets AI quotes and lets you pitch them from the same account.
Use cases
SEO teams
Compare AI visibility with organic rankings for the same topics
Outcome: One view of search and AI
PR teams
Find and pitch media outlets AI cites
Outcome: Coverage in sources AI trusts
Key features
- AI Visibility Toolkit: visibility overview, competitor research, prompt research and brand performance
- Daily custom prompt tracking for ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity
- Site audit for AI readiness and AI crawler blockers
- AI PR toolkit with an AI-cited media finder and journalist recommendations
- Content tools including an AI article generator and content optimizer
Pros
- AI visibility sits next to Semrush keyword and backlink data
- AI-cited media finder shows which outlets AI cites, with pitching tools
- Mature reporting and integrations
Cons
- Tracking, content and PR are separate toolkits with separate prices
- Only 25 prompts on the AI Visibility Toolkit
- A large interface with a learning curve
Rank 9
Ahrefs Brand Radar
Ahrefs' AI visibility tool, with an index of 525 million prompts, custom prompt tracking and off-site source research.
ahrefs.com8.0
out of 10
Best for: Established brands that want market-wide AI share of voice next to Ahrefs link data.
Brand Radar gives you two views. The AI Visibility Index shows how any brand appears across 525 million search-backed prompts on AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot, with no setup. Custom prompts track the exact questions your buyers ask, as often as daily. For getting mentioned, the useful part is citations: it shows which pages AI links to in your topic, and with Ahrefs' backlink and content data you can find who to approach.
Custom prompts start at $50 a month and the index costs $199 a month, while paid Ahrefs plans from $129 a month include a handful of free prompts. Ahrefs notes the index has limited coverage for brands with little search volume, so newer brands should start with custom prompts. It finds the targets well, but writing and outreach stay with you.
Standout feature
Its 525 million prompt index shows who AI mentions in your market without any setup.
Use cases
SEO teams
Find pages AI cites in your niche and check their link profiles
Outcome: A list of link and mention targets
Brand marketers
Benchmark AI share of voice against competitors
Outcome: Market-wide visibility data
Key features
- AI Visibility Index across 525 million prompts with no setup
- Custom prompt tracking refreshed daily, weekly or monthly
- Mentions, citations, AI share of voice and estimated impressions
- Finds valuable AI citations to secure and content gaps from fan-out queries
- YouTube, TikTok and Reddit source research
Pros
- Huge prompt index shows the whole market without setup
- Pairs with Ahrefs backlink data to find link targets AI cites
- Covers AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot
Cons
- Costs add up across the index, custom prompts and an Ahrefs plan
- The index works best for brands that already have search demand
Rank 10
Profound
An enterprise AI search platform with answer engine insights, an AI Marketer and agents that write and report.
tryprofound.com7.9
out of 10
Best for: Large brands with budgets for an enterprise AI search program.
Profound has moved beyond tracking toward doing the work. Its AI Marketer knows your positioning through the Context Manager, and agents research markets, write content and build reports for recurring tasks, which Profound Sheets can run at scale. Underneath sit answer engine insights on up to 9 engines, with citations, sentiment and ranking, plus agent analytics and prompt volumes.
The trial is free for 7 days with 50 preset prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews, and you cannot edit those prompts. After that, Enterprise pricing is custom and agents run on credits. It is the most complete platform here for large brands, but small and mid-size teams will get more for their money elsewhere.
Standout feature
Its AI Marketer and agents turn AI search data into content and reports.

Frequently asked questions
+How do I get my brand mentioned by ChatGPT?
Publish clear pages that answer the questions buyers ask, and get mentioned on the third-party pages AI already cites, such as listicles, reviews and forum threads. ChatGPT and other assistants that search the web lean on pages that rank and on what other sites say about you.
+What is the best tool to get mentioned by AI assistants?
Outrank is our editor's choice because it publishes content and places your brand first in roundups on other blogs. Airefs is the best budget pick, and Peec AI and Otterly.AI are strong for finding which sources to target.
+Can any tool guarantee a ChatGPT recommendation?
No. Nobody outside the AI companies controls what their models say. Tools can improve the inputs assistants use, such as your content, backlinks and mentions on cited pages, and track whether mentions follow.
+How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
It follows your SEO timeline. New pages need to be indexed and start ranking, and third-party mentions add up over weeks and months, so expect gradual change rather than overnight results.
+How much do these tools cost?
Airefs starts at $24 a month billed yearly, Otterly.AI at $29, Writesonic at $79 billed annually, Peec AI at $95, Outrank and the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit at $99, and Goodie at $295. AirOps starts free, and Profound's paid plans are custom.
+Do I still need SEO to get cited by AI?
Yes. Google AI Overviews and AI Mode sit inside Google search, and ChatGPT and Perplexity search the web before answering, so pages that rank and earn links are the ones most likely to be cited.
