The questions that decide it

Feature by feature, with a verdict each

What should you compare beyond a visibility score?

Use the same questions, language, market and observation window. Check whether an answer mentions your brand, cites a URL, or recommends a competitor. These are different signals. A sampled answer is not a count of all customer searches.

VerdictCompare the evidence behind the score.

What work can your team actually complete?

In CiteAgentic, review an audit finding, its affected page and the suggested fix prompt. Check the proposed change before applying it. Run that same exercise in the other tool and judge the specificity, effort and relevance of the guidance.

VerdictChoose the workflow that helps your team ship a useful fix.

Does a better score prove a fix worked?

A follow-up scan can show an observed change. It cannot isolate your edit from model changes, changing sources or answer variation. Keep the prompt set stable and review several observations alongside qualified visits and enquiries.

VerdictTreat before-and-after results as evidence, not causal proof.

Fair is fair

When Otterly is the better fit

There is no universal winner. Staying with Otterly may be the right decision when:

01Your current reports already support decisions and fit your delivery process.
02Your trial confirms the required markets, models, exports and team access.
03Switching would add work without improving evidence quality or completed actions.

FAQ

Honest questions about the switch

Frequently asked questions

How should I compare Otterly alternatives?
Define the questions, markets and engines you need first. Test equivalent coverage, review cited URLs and complete one website fix. Compare the time and cost of that workflow, not only the headline score.
Will switching improve my AI visibility?
Changing software alone does not improve visibility. Results depend on the work you implement and how AI systems retrieve and answer. No tool can guarantee mentions or citations.
Can I move my historical reports?
Keep your existing exports and baseline. Recreate a representative prompt set and run both tools alongside each other. Do not assume historical scores transfer or use the same methodology.
