Where Cascadia Acts on AI Visibility 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 or add the markup to it. Each comparison sets that tool beside AI Visibility, which tracks the same question for you, and Page Optimization, which does the changing.

Questions Worth Asking First
Straight answers to what people ask while comparing GEO options.
Not Sure? Talk to UsStill have a question?
What does a managed AI visibility 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. On measurement alone it covers more engines than we do: AI Visibility asks your 25 questions of Claude, with other engines at $49 a month each. What it does not do is open your site, restructure the paragraph that answers the question badly, or add the markup that ties the page to your entity. That is page work, which Page Optimization does, and it 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 AI Visibility at $149 a month is close enough that price is not really the argument. What none of the trackers will do is rewrite the pages, ship the markup, and still be doing it in month seven. Page Optimization does that part, and Visibility Pro puts both together for $1,200 a month. 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 the month’s average of daily checks 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 it will not clash with ours, because AI Visibility runs its own daily checks rather than working inside your account. 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.
Talk to UsStill have a question?
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, but usually has no daily record of what AI assistants say about you. AI Visibility adds that record and leaves the SEO work where it is.
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 report: how often the assistants named you, which competitor they named most, and how that moved since last month. 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 cost less. 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. 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 each service cover, and what does it cost?
AI Visibility is $149 a month per website and tracks 25 prompts on Claude, with each additional AI engine at $49 a month. Page Optimization is $1,100 a month and optimizes four pages a month, with four more pages a month available for $600. Visibility Pro bundles AI Visibility, Search Reporting, and Page Optimization for $1,200 a month, against $1,348 bought separately. Most businesses starting from nowhere in AI answers should begin with AI Visibility, and we will say so before you buy more.
Are we locked into a contract?
No. Month to month, no setup fee. Cancel any time and the service runs to the last business day of that month. 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?
For AI Visibility, just your website address and up to three competitors. If you do not name any, we pick them from the businesses you compete with in search, and we write the questions from your site. Search Reporting needs read access to Google Search Console, granted once. Page Optimization needs admin access to the site and about an hour to talk through what you sell and who buys it.
