Frequently asked questions
- What is the best AI visibility tool in 2026?
There is no single best tool for everyone. Monroya fits local-service businesses that want plain-language jobs and buyer-stage detail, Profound fits enterprise teams with publishing workflows, AthenaHQ fits teams who want the widest assistant coverage, and Otterly fits anyone who only needs low-cost monitoring.
- How do AI visibility tools differ from traditional SEO tools?
Traditional SEO tools measure rankings on a results page. AI visibility tools run buyer questions through assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode and measure whether your brand is named in the answer and which sources the answer cites. The two overlap, but a page can rank well and still never be quoted.
- What is the difference between a mention and a citation?
A mention is your brand name appearing in the text of an answer. A citation is a link the assistant credits as its source. Mentions build awareness; citations show which of your pages the model actually pulled from, which is what tells you where to publish next.
- Which AI engines should I track?
Track the assistants your buyers actually use. For most businesses that means ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Broader coverage including Copilot and Grok is available from some tools, but depth on the six that carry the most buyer traffic matters more than a longer list.
