The neutral index of AI-visibility & GEO tools

Summary

OtterlyAI is an AI search monitoring platform that runs a library of search prompts against AI answer engines and records where a brand is mentioned and which URLs are cited. It pairs that tracking with crawlability checks, content audits and prioritised GEO recommendations.

Best for
Marketing, SEO and content teams taking their first serious measurement of AI-search visibility, who want a self-serve start rather than a sales call.
Not for
Teams that need Claude, Google AI Mode or Gemini coverage without paying add-on fees on top of any tier, or that need a true $0-forever free plan rather than a 7-day trial.
From
$29/month$29 monthly · $25 billed annually
Free trial
PartlyFree trial only, no standing $0 plan. The FAQ states a 7-day trial with no credit card needed; a site-wide sign-up modal advertises a 14-day trial, also without a card.
