  • 5W Public Relations Yes

    The audit does not stop at reporting: it ranks the gaps by citation weight and hands over a phased multi-quarter program that 5W then executes.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • Addlly AI Yes

    The audit ends in a prioritised recommendation set plus an implementation strategy, so it prescribes changes rather than only reporting them.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • Adobe Brand Visibility Yes

    Every opportunity ships with a fix suggestion, and supported ones can be deployed from the same screen rather than only reported.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • AEO Engine Yes

    Every diagnostic ends in ranked fixes rather than a score alone, and on the paid programs the agency implements those fixes itself.

    Checked 2026-09-10

  • AEOlens Yes

    Every failing check ships with the exact change to make, ordered by projected score lift, and the product tracks fixes through a mark-done and re-score loop.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • Aethon AI Qualified

    Findings arrive as specific prioritised actions rather than a score, but that ranked plan is the Action Engine, which the entry Starter plan does not include.

    Checked 2026-09-08

  • Ahrefs Brand Radar Qualified

    It surfaces where to act rather than prescribing edits: visibility gaps, uncited topics and the pages AI already cites, leaving the actual content changes to the buyer.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • AIclicks Yes

    A Recommendations tab ranks concrete actions by expected impact across three types rather than only reporting scores.

    Checked 2026-10-04

  • AI Sightline Yes

    It prescribes rather than only reports: each action carries a predicted score lift and effort rating, with an impact tracker comparing before and after.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • AI Visibility Audit Qualified

    The PDF ends in a prioritised list of fixes, but the recommendations come from gaps in AI answers and competitor share, never from an inspection of your own pages, which the maintainer lists as still to build.

    Checked 2026-09-16

  • AI Visibility Report Group Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: findings become ordered actions naming the page, the change and the check that proves it landed.

    Checked 2026-09-20

  • Amplitude AI Visibility Yes

    It goes past reporting: ranked recommendations, page analysis, content generation and a simulator that re-runs prompts against edited copy.

    Checked 2026-10-13

  • Analyze AI Yes

    It prescribes rather than only reports: weekly prioritised recommendations on both paid tiers, plus gap-level page fixes from the optimizer.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • ApexGEO Yes

    It goes past reporting: recommendations are ranked by expected score impact and measured again after the fix ships, with rollback when nothing moves.

    Checked 2026-09-20

  • Archytas AISpy Qualified

    You get direction rather than instructions: fanout queries and citation gaps point at topics to cover, but there is no scored recommendation list, no brief generator and no re-check that a change worked.

    Checked 2026-09-13

  • AthenaHQ Yes

    Goes past reporting: prioritised opportunities route into drafted content, developer tickets and outreach pitches with owners attached.

    Checked 2026-09-20

  • auto-geo Yes

    Each failing check carries a fix suggestion ranked by citation impact, and the fix command goes further by regenerating the page so it passes all eight checks.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • BabyLoveGrowth Yes

    It goes past reporting: each audit issue carries step-by-step guidance, and a copyable fix prompt can be handed to a developer or coding agent.

    Checked 2026-10-04

  • Big Leads Yes

    As an agency the deliverable is the change itself rather than a report: entity clarity, answer-ready pages and citation engineering are executed for the client, and the vendor explicitly disparages report-only work.

    Checked 2026-09-20

  • Bloomiro Yes

    Findings become Action Center items carrying a reason, a source and a priority, so the product prescribes changes rather than only reporting measurements.

    Checked 2026-09-21

  • Brandlight Yes

    Output is prescriptive rather than descriptive: each recommendation is ranked by impact, effort and urgency and delivered with the assigned strategist.

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • BrightEdge Yes

    The platform prescribes actions rather than only reporting: page-level recommendations, prioritised fixes and briefs feed straight into the workflow.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • Bttr. Yes

    The offer is explicitly measurement plus remediation in one engagement, with the changes named per engine rather than left as a generic report, which is the half a pure monitoring tool does not carry.

    Checked 2026-09-08

  • Canonry Yes

    Output is prescriptive rather than purely descriptive: the audit ranks three fixes by likely impact, and the platform's loop has an agent plan work for human approval.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • CheckThat.ai Qualified

    CheckThat promises to say what needs to change, but the vendor's own docs flag that a visibility finding does not become a work item: segments are read-only and the loop to a brief is still open.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • CisionOne AI Visibility Qualified

    The recommended action is media relations, not editing: the dashboard points you at influential journalists and outlets to pitch, and stops short of telling you what to change on your own pages.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • Citadex Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: each detected issue carries an explicit recommendation and a hand-off button into the editor with the context already loaded.

    Checked 2026-09-13

  • CiteLens Yes

    Beyond reporting it produces a prioritised action queue naming the page, source or topic to target, with open/in-progress/done states.

    Checked 2026-09-21

  • CiteMentor Yes

    It goes past reporting: findings become ranked fixes with code-level suggestions organised by category and tracked over time.

    Checked 2026-09-24

  • CiteVista Qualified

    The technical audit ranks failed checks by impact so you know what to fix first, but the measurement modules report scores without prescribing content changes.

    Checked 2026-10-08

  • Cognizo Yes

    Goes past reporting: ranks prioritised actions from citation-pattern analysis and states what to create or refine next.

    Checked 2026-09-21

  • Conductor Yes

    The platform does not stop at reporting: visibility gaps hand off into prioritised recommendations and Creator drafts, and technical issues are ranked by business impact.

    Checked 2026-10-06

  • Dageno Qualified

    Dageno does prescribe changes rather than only reporting, but the issues-and-opportunities surface that carries those recommendations is withheld from Starter and begins on the Growth plan.

    Checked 2026-09-15

  • Digital Elevator Yes

    The deliverable is prescriptive rather than descriptive: a ranked fix list with time estimates per item, written by a strategist and handed over for the client's team to ship.

    Checked 2026-09-23

  • Distribb Yes

    It does not only report: each flagged page gets a staged rewrite you approve, regenerate or publish straight to the CMS through the suggestions endpoints.

    Checked 2026-09-25

  • EdenRank Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: findings become a ranked queue with owners, rationale and a validation path before work counts as execution-ready.

    Checked 2026-09-13

  • Elmo Yes

    It goes past reporting: generated opportunities name what to do next and are retrievable from the REST API and the MCP server, not just the dashboard.

    Checked 2026-09-11

  • Emergine Yes

    It goes past reporting: recommendations become assignable Action Tasks, and each site finding quotes the page and states the change to make.

    Checked 2026-09-26

  • Epovest Qualified

    It converts measurement into a queue of moves and a way in per source, but the recommendations are place-level and manual rather than edits to a specific page.

    Checked 2026-09-23

  • Evertune Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: an agent ranks the highest-impact moves each week and Site Audit ties fixes to the specific pages that carry them.

    Checked 2026-09-12

  • Finseo Qualified

    It produces a ranked action plan with projected impact rather than only reporting, but the Tasks module is struck through on the Starter tier.

    Checked 2026-09-08

  • First Page Sage Yes

    The engagement does not stop at reporting: performance across search and answer engines feeds strategy changes and the next month's content decisions.

    Checked 2026-10-13

  • Foglift Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: each audit returns a ranked fix list, and the monitor page prints a per-engine recommended action beside each visibility figure.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • Franixo Yes

    The Action Engine issues prioritised recommendations carrying their prompt, competitor and citation evidence, with status workflow and before/after comparison.

    Checked 2026-09-26

  • Frase Yes

    Each page gets a GEO score plus named, plain-language changes to raise it, re-scored as you edit, so the tool prescribes rather than only reporting.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • Gauge Yes

    The Action Center ranks suggested actions with the supporting data, hands them to the agent, then measures the result against the projection.

    Checked 2026-10-05

  • GeoArk AI Yes

    It names the fix as well as the gap, turning cited sources into specific next steps and feeding schema and content tools from the same data.

    Checked 2026-09-24

  • GEO Monitor Qualified

    Starter only reports. Pro adds the gap list of pages you are missing from, and Managed emails three recommended actions a month, but the vendor refuses to promise placement.

    Checked 2026-09-14

  • GeoRankers Yes

    It goes past reporting: a prioritised action list scores each fix by expected impact and effort, filterable by quick wins.

    Checked 2026-09-14

  • GEORankHub Yes

    It goes well past reporting: findings become prioritised fixes, a three-stage route and a 30/60/90-day action plan built from your goals, resources and constraints.

    Checked 2026-09-19

  • geoSurge Qualified

    The self-serve product reports where you are weak rather than prescribing fixes; acting on it is the Enterprise corpus toolkit, and the Free column for that row is a dash.

    Checked 2026-09-24

  • GEO Tool Yes

    Every report ends in a prioritised checklist of concrete edits instead of a score alone, covering schema, llms.txt, content structure, entity linking and FAQ markup.

    Checked 2026-09-14

  • GetCito Yes

    It does not only report: recommendations are prioritised by impact and effort, and paid tiers include a counted monthly prompt-optimisation allowance.

    Checked 2026-09-25

  • getSichtbar Yes

    The deliverable is a prioritised action plan with order, effort and expected effect, after which the client decides whether work proceeds at all.

    Checked 2026-10-03

  • Go Fish Digital Yes

    The platform is positioned explicitly against reporting tools: it returns prioritised actions to take before spend, not just metrics about what already happened.

    Checked 2026-09-14

  • Goodie Yes

    Recommendations are prioritised with difficulty, timeline and projected citation impact, and the platform executes them rather than only listing them.

    Checked 2026-09-15

  • Growleads Yes

    The engagement is prescriptive rather than report-only: framings are rewritten on a thirty-day cycle and queries are dropped or doubled down on against a stated eight-week share test.

    Checked 2026-09-27

  • HITZ GEO Page Audit Yes

    It prioritises rather than only reporting: the weakest area is flagged first and re-running after a fix is the stated workflow, with one recommendation line rendered per area.

    Checked 2026-09-17

  • HubSpot AEO Yes

    Recommendations are prioritised actions with an estimated citation lift, spanning new pages, page updates, video, social and third-party outreach.

    Checked 2026-09-02

  • Indexly Yes

    The dashboard turns gaps into named actions, surfacing content opportunities and page-level recommendations rather than only reporting numbers.

    Checked 2026-10-07

  • iPullRank Yes

    The engagement ends in prioritised action rather than a report: an AI Search Strategic Roadmap assigns priorities, owners, timing and dependencies that delivery teams execute, backed by hands-on page updates.

    Checked 2026-09-26

  • Keyword.com AI Visibility Qualified

    It points at gaps and prompts worth targeting through citation and prompt research, but stops at insight: there is no page-level recommendation or change list to act on.

    Checked 2026-10-09

  • Knowatoa Yes

    Each finding comes with a stated next action, down to which content to update and which sources to optimise, rather than a report alone.

    Checked 2026-10-10

  • Limy Yes

    It goes past reporting: a planner turns findings into a weekly task plan sized to the team's stated capacity.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • LLMClicks.ai AI Visibility Tracker Yes

    Findings are converted into ranked, page-mapped tasks and assigned to writers or developers, so the tool prescribes changes rather than only reporting scores.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • LLM Pulse Yes

    It does not only report: recommendations derived from the tracked answers, plus GEO Writer, ship with the entry plan rather than a higher tier.

    Checked 2026-09-27

  • LLMrefs Qualified

    Reporting is the centre of gravity: it surfaces content gaps and cited-source opportunities to act on, but no page-level prescriptive recommendation engine is documented.

    Checked 2026-10-11

  • Local Dominator AI Tracker Yes

    The Opportunities tab does more than report: it gives an AI-written explanation per missed prompt and names the competitor sources to chase, and the vendor frames it as execution.

    Checked 2026-09-26

  • Local Falcon Yes

    Falcon AI turns a scan into named improvement steps for 25 credits per report, and the agent can recommend new pages and internal links from visibility gaps.

    Checked 2026-10-11

  • Maple Labs Yes

    Prioritised recommendations are part of every mission, and the vendor distinguishes offer, wording and information-visibility causes before prescribing.

    It goes past reporting: a prioritised action plan is generated weekly, alongside GEO recommendations and content-gap findings drawn from the citation data.

    Checked 2026-09-18

  • Mentionable Yes

    It goes past reporting: credit-based page audits return concrete fixes on every plan, though the AI Insights recommendation layer is described elsewhere as Pro and Agency only.

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • Minuttia Yes

    Deliverables go beyond reporting: the audit returns written suggestions and a training call, and the free report flags where to look first.

    Checked 2026-09-27

  • Morningscore Yes

    Beyond reporting, Missions prioritise the next tasks and the ChatGPT page promises a how-to-rank checklist plus link opportunities to lift AI mentions.

    Checked 2026-09-27

  • Nightwatch Yes

    Goes past reporting: the agent detects drops, finds gaps and drafts fixes, and Content Studio scores edits against page one.

    Checked 2026-09-28

  • Omnia Yes

    The product goes past reporting: insights deliver a prioritised backlog covering content creation, placement and technical SEO rather than metrics alone.

    Checked 2026-09-28

  • Omniscient Digital Yes

    Deliverables are prioritised action items rather than raw audits, and they explicitly reject handing over a list of opportunities without next steps.

    Checked 2026-09-28

  • OmniSEO Yes

    Recommendations ship on the entry plan as ranked opportunities by engine and query, are only labelled Enhanced from Professional up, and a dedicated GEO specialist is an Enterprise add-on rather than included.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • OMNIUS Yes

    Deliverables go past reporting: a prioritised roadmap of content, technical and authority actions ranked by expected impact and implementation effort.

    Checked 2026-09-28

  • OpenSEO Qualified

    Audit findings and agent skills produce a next action to take, yet the vendor explicitly refuses on-page optimisation scoring such as keyword density.

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • Optimist Yes

    The diagnostic output is prescriptive, not descriptive: every page in a cluster is classified into one of six action categories and sequenced by pipeline impact.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • Orchly Yes

    Goes past reporting: each gap becomes a ranked task with a suggested fix, and an agent carries it out once the buyer approves it.

    Checked 2026-09-29

  • OtterlyAI Yes

    Recommendations read your own report data and return prioritised next actions, so it prescribes rather than only reporting.

    Checked 2026-09-29

  • Peak Answer Yes

    The product produces a ranked backlog of recommended work and then the artefacts themselves, rather than stopping at a report of what is wrong.

    Checked 2026-10-07

  • Peec AI Yes

    The Actions module ranks what to do next by opportunity score and is included on every plan at no extra cost, though the vendor's terms separately disclaim giving strategic advice.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • Percepture Yes

    The engagement does the changes rather than only recommending them, and conversion recommendations are an explicit deliverable from the Growth tier upward, absent on Launch.

    Goes past reporting into prioritised fix cards written for a developer to act on, with ROI estimates attached to each card.

    Checked 2026-09-29

    Checked 2026-09-09

  • PromptRush Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: each module closes with a named action, and the vendor frames the output as the next three moves for the team.

    Checked 2026-09-03

  • Promptwatch Yes

    An Action Board turns the monitoring data into a prioritised kanban of concrete GEO tasks maintained by an agent, so the product prescribes work rather than only reporting numbers.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • Qwairy Yes

    The Act module ranks content gaps by an LLM potential score and generates briefs, so the product prescribes work rather than only reporting visibility.

    Checked 2026-10-10

  • RadarKit Yes

    It does not stop at reporting: the Plan agent turns gaps into a task sheet and routes each task to the Content, Outreach or Reddit agent to execute.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • Rankability Yes

    Audits return prioritized recommendations and group repeat findings by template.

  • Rankfender Yes

    The product does not stop at reporting: a weekly strategist output names the topics and battleground queries to act on, and those briefs feed the article pipeline directly.

    Checked 2026-10-11

  • Rank Prompt Yes

    It does not only report: audit and report findings are filed as categorised, prioritised tasks with recommendations to act on.

    Checked 2026-10-12

  • Rankscale Yes

    Beyond reporting, Scout recommendations and beta prioritised next steps tell you where visibility is being lost and what to change.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • Rankshift Yes

    Findings are issued as prioritised, assignable tasks on a board tied to specific pages and publications, so it goes past reporting into a work queue the team can clear.

    Checked 2026-09-30

  • RankVyze Yes

    The product is explicitly positioned as fixing rather than charting: audit issues become planned optimizations with effort estimates, and changes arrive as diffs the customer approves.

    Checked 2026-09-26

  • RankZero Yes

    It does more than report: the platform issues to-dos and a page audit, and the retainer executes the changes monthly.

    Insights name the current issue and the recommended change, and can produce a content brief.

    The platform prescribes changes as well as reporting, surfacing prioritised fixes and content recommendations from the visibility data.

    Checked 2026-10-13

    It does not stop at reporting: the toolkit issues prioritised technical fixes from Site Audit and AI-generated strategy recommendations in Brand Performance.

    Findings become a ranked queue of changes the agents will execute on approval, rather than a report, with rollback kept for every edit.

    AutoFix ships changes on every tier, fifty repairs a month even on Free, while the prioritised recommendation engine that explains what to do next starts on Starter.

    Checked 2026-09-15

  • Serpair Yes

    The product's stated output is prescriptive: a monthly sprint of ranked quick wins, technical fixes and content opportunities rather than dashboards alone.

    Checked 2026-10-08

  • SE Visible Qualified

    The shipped product points at cited sources and competitor gaps to work from, but it stops at naming them; the layer that ranks gaps into briefable work is on a page badged coming soon.

    Output is a ranked roadmap of what to create, refresh and remove, not a report alone.

    Beyond reporting, it issues a prioritised action plan of topic gaps, page edits and briefs.

    Scoring does not merely report: it names the gap per trend and returns up to three prioritised recommendations with labels for the page under test.

    Surfer goes past reporting into prescribed edits: audit, topic map, draft and one-click optimisation are sold as the acting half of the platform.

    Checked 2026-10-09

  • TrackAIMentions Yes

    Every report ends in a ranked action list tied to the weakest prompts rather than stopping at the visibility score.

    Checked 2026-10-10

  • Trakkr Yes

    The product is pitched on acting rather than reporting: findings become a ranked action queue with playbooks, and technical actions can be applied to the live site with approval.

    Checked 2026-09-16

  • TrueRanker Qualified

    Prioritised fixes come from the separate page-level GEO checker, not from the prompt tracker itself, which reports scores, stored answers and the prompts where a rival wins but leaves the remedy to you.

    Checked 2026-09-17

  • Ubersuggest Yes

    Prompt-level gaps where a competitor is named and the brand is not are presented as content work to do, not just as a score.

  • VisibAI Yes

    Every audit ends in a prioritised action plan with impact and effort flags, so the output is instruction rather than a bare score.

    Prescriptive, not report-only: prioritised recommendations plus ready-to-post drafts are the product's stated differentiator.

    Checked 2026-09-02

  • WebGlazer Qualified

    A prioritised fix list is shown as a shipped feature on the homepage, yet the FAQ answer on what is coming next also lists 'a ranked list of what to fix'.

  • WhyIQ AI Radar Yes

    Every uncited question names who holds the slot and becomes a Moves checklist, with recurring patterns rolled into a named action plan rather than left as a report.

    Checked 2026-10-12

  • Writesonic Qualified

    The Action Center prioritises fixes, but it is a 5+5 actions/month trial on Growth and full only on Enterprise.

  • ZipTie Yes

    Reports come with prescribed changes, and an AI success score ranks which queries to fix first by visibility and commercial value.

The population

122 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-10-10. 122 of the 122 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “Tells you what to change”. That row asks: Does it recommend content work, or only report? Every listing in the index is settled on this row, so nothing is left out.

Findings

  1. 101 of the 122 settled listings answer “Yes” for “Tells you what to change”. That is 83% of the settled set.

  2. 19 of the 122 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “Tells you what to change”. That is 16% of the settled set.

  3. 2 of the 122 settled listings answer “No” for “Tells you what to change”. That is 2% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is Adobe Brand Visibility, which still answers yes for “Tells you what to change”. Its listing carries the stored answer and links to the source recorded for it. This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “Tells you what to change” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 122 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. On this row that is the whole index, because every listing has a recognised stored answer. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
