Where Cascadia Managed GEO Changes the Page and a Tracker Only Scores It
Profound, Peec AI, Otterly and Scrunch will all tell you whether AI answers mention your brand, and the cheapest of them costs less in a year than we charge in a quarter. Not one will rewrite the page you already have, add the markup to it, or open the crawler path that changes the answer. Each comparison sets that tool beside a service that does the changing.

We treat support as a relationship, not a ticket count. The work is boring by design, and boring is exactly what you want from the systems your revenue runs through. We explain all of it in plain language, no technical translation required.

Questions worth asking first
Straight answers to what people ask while comparing GEO options, before anyone asks for a demo.
What does a managed GEO service do that Profound does not?
Profound will tell you, daily and across as many as nine engines, how often ChatGPT names you and who it names instead. That is genuinely useful and nothing on our side replaces it. What it does not do is open your site, restructure the paragraph that answers the question badly, add the markup that ties the page to your entity, or notice that a firewall rule has been refusing the crawler since March. Those are the parts that move the number, and each needs access to your site rather than a bigger plan.
Why are we invisible in AI answers when we rank fine in Google?
Usually because the two are scored differently. Google ranks a page against a query. A model assembles an answer out of sources it already trusts, and rarely reads far past the part of your page that answers directly. A page that wins on links and depth can lose badly on structure, because the answer is buried at paragraph nine under the story of your founding. It also happens when the crawler never arrived at all, which is worth ruling out before anything else.
Do the pages have to move to your platform?
They do not. Everything happens on the WordPress install you already own, on your domain, in your accounts. One product on this page builds a separate agent facing copy of your site, which is a legitimate approach and quietly makes your visibility depend on a file living somewhere you do not control. We work on the pages you own and would talk you out of the other thing.
Can anyone actually influence what an AI model says?
Yes, and less than the industry implies. What is reliably influenceable: whether the crawlers can reach you at all, whether the page answers the question inside its first hundred words, and whether your business is described consistently across the sources a model already trusts. What is not: making a model prefer you when three better known competitors answer the same question better than you do. We tell you which of the two you are looking at before taking the work.
Which of these tools will change the page for us?
None of them, in the sense you mean. Profound Agents will draft new optimized content against a credit balance, and Scrunch AXP will build an agent facing version of your site, so both change something. Neither goes into the pages you already published and repairs them. Peec and Otterly make no such claim and are clearer for it. Measurement turned out to be the easy half to automate, which is why every product here started there.
Why not buy the cheapest tracker and do the work ourselves?
You should, if the work is not the constraint. Otterly starts at twenty nine dollars a month and Profound at ninety nine, and against our four hundred and ninety nine that is not a close contest on price. What none of them include is somebody who reads the report, decides which three pages are worth rewriting, rewrites them, ships the markup, and is still doing it in month seven. If you already have that person, buy Otterly and keep the difference.
How long before this shows up in an answer?
Six to twelve weeks for a rewritten page to start appearing, and longer where the model leans on sources it has trusted for years. Answers are also noisy: the same prompt asked twice in one day can name different companies, so a single check proves nothing either way. We report on a rolling window rather than a snapshot, because a snapshot is how people talk themselves into changes that did nothing.
Can we keep the tracker we already pay for?
Yes, and we will work inside your account so the history stays with you rather than restarting in ours. We will also say if the subscription has stopped earning its keep. A tracker billed monthly and opened twice a quarter is not insurance, and if that is what is happening we would rather say so than quietly invoice beside it.

More Generative Engine Optimization questions
Plain answers to the rest of what people ask while comparing their options.
We already have an SEO person. What is left for you?
Quite a lot, and it is a common arrangement. Classic SEO and GEO overlap less than the names suggest. Somebody good at ranking pages is most of the way there on structure and internal linking, and usually nowhere near it on entity markup, on crawler access for the AI agents specifically, or on reading a share of voice report across six engines. We often take the second list and leave the first alone.
Do we get a dashboard, or another seat to learn?
Neither, deliberately. Every product on this page is something you log into, and the cost nobody prices is the hour a week somebody spends inside it deciding what to do about a chart. What arrives here instead is a monthly summary: which answers named you, which named a competitor, what we changed, and what we are changing next about the part that did not move. When a decision is yours, we come and ask for it.
When should you not hire us for this?
Two cases, and both are common. If somebody in house genuinely enjoys this work and has the hours, buy the license direct, because the tools are good and the price gap is enormous. And if nobody is asking an AI model about what you sell yet, none of this matters, which is true of more industries than the market wants to admit. We will say so rather than sell you a retainer.
What if AI visibility is not our real problem?
We will say so before taking your money, and looking costs nothing. AI visibility is one channel and for most businesses it is currently a small one. A product nobody is searching for, or a site that loses people the moment they land, will survive a year of excellent structured data untouched. Selling a monthly retainer against either would be dishonest and would surface by month six anyway.
What does the Growth tier add?
Managed Generative Engine Optimization at four hundred and ninety nine dollars a month covers prompt selection, page rewrites, structured data, crawler access and monthly citation monitoring. The Growth tier at nine hundred and ninety nine roughly doubles the pages we work on each month and adds competitor share of voice benchmarking and coverage beyond a single product line or market. Most businesses starting from nowhere in AI answers do not need the second tier, and we will say so before you buy it.
Are we locked into a contract?
No. Month to month, thirty days’ notice, no setup fee. Worth noticing on the tool side: most discounted figures on this page assume annual billing, and Profound quotes both of its self serve tiers yearly. Scrunch charges three hundred a month to stay flexible against two hundred and fifty committed. This is also not a purchase that finishes, because models retrain and competitors keep publishing, so treat it as a running cost of the channel rather than a project with an end date.
What do you need from us to begin?
Editor access to the site, read access to Search Console and analytics, and an hour to talk through what you sell and who actually buys it. The first two weeks is mostly reading: which prompts a buyer would really type, what the engines currently answer, and which of your pages they are already ignoring. Changes start in week three, and you see the list before anything ships.
