ChatGPT answers, unedited

If your goal is client-facing reporting of AI assistant visibility—especially citations, answer placement, competitors, and trends across multiple platforms—I’d shortlist these:

• tryprofound.com — strongest fit for enterprise-grade citation/answer intelligence. It’s designed around deep source-level citation tracking, prompt monitoring, competitive visibility, and reporting. Current comparisons consistently put it toward the enterprise end of the market. Bloomiro UX Continuum
• peec.ai — particularly attractive for agencies/mid-market teams managing multiple brands. It focuses on prompt-level AI visibility, competitors, and multi-language tracking without the enterprise-heavy positioning of Profound. Bloomiro Toolsolved
• otterly.ai — good if you mainly need recurring visibility reporting at lower cost. Its API/reporting depth is more limited, but it's comparatively accessible for agency workflows. UX Continuum Toolsolved
• promptwatch.com — worth a close look if actual prompt/answer/citation data needs to feed your own client dashboard. Its reported API exposes prompt-level performance and page-level citation data, which is useful if you're building a reporting layer rather than just consuming a SaaS dashboard. Toolsolved
• scrunch.com — interesting if you want visibility monitoring plus an "agent experience" layer, including AI crawler activity, rather than just answer monitoring. Baarely

For your specific use case

I'd evaluate them in this order by capability rather than an overall "best" ranking:

The important distinction: don't buy a tool merely because it gives you an "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd want the underlying record to look roughly like:

client → prompt → AI platform/model → answer → brand mention → position → cited URL → competitor mentions → timestamp

That lets you produce much more defensible reports such as "Brand was mentioned in 43% of tracked answers, appeared in position 2.1 on average, and was cited from 17 distinct URLs" rather than a proprietary visibility score.

If you're building this into a SaaS/client dashboard yourself, I'd lean toward an API-first platform such as Promptwatch or Profound, rather than a tool whose primary value is its own dashboard. Current comparisons specifically identify API depth and page-level citation data as major differentiators. Toolsolved

If you tell me how many clients, approximate prompts/client, and which assistants you need (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews/Mode, etc.), I can narrow this to a practical stack and estimate the likely monthly cost.

If your use case is client-facing AI visibility reporting—tracking where a brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, etc., plus citations, answer position, competitors, and historical trends—I’d shortlist these:

My practical pick: Peec AI

For an agency building repeatable client dashboards, Peec looks particularly well aligned. Its agency offering supports multiple client projects, and its Looker/Data Studio connector lets you build a branded dashboard template and clone it for clients. It also exposes CSV/API data for BI systems such as BigQuery, Tableau and Power BI. Peec AI

It tracks mention rate, average position, citation count and sentiment across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, with daily updates. Peec AI

peec.ai

If citation-level detail is the priority

OtterlyAI is worth a serious look. It stores the actual AI answers and tracks which URLs were cited, whether the brand was mentioned, competitors, ordering, sentiment and share of voice. Its current analytics product covers seven engines. Otterly

otterly.ai

Profound is the one I'd investigate if you're serving large enterprises and need much deeper research/data infrastructure rather than simply attractive client reports. Current comparisons describe it as the enterprise-oriented option with particularly deep citation and prompt data. Bloomiro BusinessMCP

One important distinction

Don't evaluate these purely on "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd want the underlying dataset to include:

• Exact prompt
• AI engine/model
• Date/time sampled
• Full answer
• Brand mentioned?
• Brand position/order
• Competitor positions
• Every cited URL/domain
• Citation frequency
• Share of voice
• Sentiment/context
• Historical changes
• Country/language/device context, where available
• Export/API/Looker support
• White-label client reporting

That distinction matters because two tools can both say a client has "32% AI visibility" while one actually lets you show the client which questions produced that number and which URLs ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini cited.

For an agency specifically: I'd start by demoing Peec + Otterly + Profound and ask each vendor to show you the raw prompt → answer → citation → position → historical dashboard workflow, not just their headline visibility score. Current market comparisons put Peec toward the agency/mid-market end, Otterly toward accessible monitoring, and Profound toward enterprise depth. Bloomiro Baarely

If you tell me how many clients/prompts you need to track and whether you want Looker Studio, Power BI, or a native white-label dashboard, I can narrow this to the most suitable 2–3 and compare current pricing/features.

If citation-level detail is the priority

OtterlyAI is worth a serious look. It stores the actual AI answers and tracks which URLs were cited, whether the brand was mentioned, competitors, ordering, sentiment and share of voice. Its current analytics product covers seven engines. otterly.ai

One important distinction

Don't evaluate these purely on "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd want the underlying dataset to include:

If your goal is client-facing AI-search reporting—tracking whether a client is mentioned, where they appear in the answer, which URLs get cited, competitors, and trends across ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/Google AI results—I’d shortlist these:

My pick for an agency: Peec AI

Peec AI — Agency platform

The big differentiator is reporting infrastructure, not just AI visibility tracking. Peec says its agency offering supports multiple client projects, a Looker/Data Studio connector for creating branded dashboards, CSV/API exports to BigQuery/Tableau/Power BI, and client-facing read-only dashboards. It tracks mention rate, average position, citation count and sentiment across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot. peec.aiotterly.ai

That's particularly useful if you're trying to build a dashboard like:

Client → AI Visibility → Share of Voice → Answer Position → Citation Share → Cited URLs → Competitors → Prompt Trends

If citation intelligence itself is the priority: Profound

Profound

Profound is more enterprise-oriented and emphasizes identifying the competitors winning citations, visibility position, and performance by topic/prompt/platform. www.tryprofound.com

I'd look at it when clients expect deep GEO/AEO analysis, rather than simply a polished monthly report.

If you want inexpensive coverage: OtterlyAI

OtterlyAI

Otterly tracks mentions, citations, sentiment, share of voice and answer position, and says it runs prompts across seven AI engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot and Claude. otterly.ai

It's a good option if you're managing lots of smaller clients and don't need the heavier enterprise analytics layer.

What I'd actually build

For an agency dashboard, I wouldn't report just "AI visibility." I'd make the core KPI set:

1. AI Mention Rate — % of tracked prompts where client appears
2. Answer Position — where client appears in the generated answer
3. Citation Rate — % of answers citing the client's site
4. Citation Share — client citations vs. competitors
5. Cited URLs — exactly which pages are earning citations
6. Competitor Share of Voice
7. Engine-by-engine performance — ChatGPT vs. Perplexity vs. Gemini etc.
8. Prompt movement — gained/lost prompts month over month
9. Citation-source breakdown — client's domain vs. Reddit, YouTube, publishers, directories, etc.
10. Recommended actions — pages/topics associated with citation losses

That distinction matters: being mentioned and being cited are not the same thing. Some platforms measure both, but I'd make citation acquisition one of the headline client metrics. peec.aiotterly.ai

Bottom line: for a multi-client agency dashboard, I'd investigate Peec first, Profound if you have enterprise clients/budgets, and Otterly if cost and scale matter most. Current 2026 comparisons also consistently place those three among the main dedicated AI-visibility platforms. omnicite.co

If you tell me how many clients/prompts you need to track (e.g. 10 clients × 100 prompts), I can also compare the actual pricing, API/Looker capabilities, white-labeling, and reporting workflow for the top 3.

If your goal is client-facing AI visibility reporting—tracking whether brands get mentioned, where they rank in answers, which URLs get cited, and how that changes across ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/etc.—my first choice right now is OtterlyAI.

My shortlist

1. otterly.ai — best overall for agencies

• Tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot and Claude. Otterly Otterly
• Tracks brand mentions + position + sentiment + share of voice + actual cited URLs.
• Has multi-client Workspaces, branded/client reports, CSV/API access and a Looker Studio connector. Otterly
• Particularly good if you need to turn the data into a recurring client dashboard/QBR report rather than just inspect AI answers.
• peec.ai — best for polished agency reporting

• Tracks mention rate, average position, citation count, sentiment and share of voice across major AI platforms. Peec AI
• Strong distinction between brand visibility and source/citation visibility.
• Its agency offering supports white-labeled Looker Studio dashboards, CSV/API, and client-specific reporting. Peec AI
• I'd seriously consider this if the dashboard/reporting experience is more important than deep GEO diagnostics.
• Profound — worth evaluating for enterprise

• I'd put it on the shortlist if you're managing larger enterprise accounts and need deeper AI-search intelligence rather than primarily an agency reporting layer.
• One useful independent comparison notes that citation measurement is inherently sampling-based, so I'd validate its methodology against your own test prompts before committing. Nick Lafferty

What I'd choose

One important distinction: don't buy a tool that only reports "brand mentioned/not mentioned." For serious client reporting, you want at least visibility → answer position → citation → cited URL → competitor → platform → prompt → geography → trend. OtterlyAI explicitly exposes citation-level data and the answers behind the metrics. Otterly Otterly AI

If you're building an agency dashboard for 10–100+ clients, I'd probably start with OtterlyAI + Looker Studio, rather than building the collection layer yourself. OtterlyAI already exposes the data needed to pipe AI-search metrics into a custom reporting layer. Otterly

If you mean tracking how often a client’s brand appears in AI assistant answers, which sources get cited, competitor share-of-voice, and producing client-ready dashboards, you’re looking for an AI Visibility / AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) platform rather than a traditional SEO rank tracker.

The best choice depends on whether you are an agency, enterprise marketing team, or building your own reporting layer.

Best AI citation + answer placement tracking tools

My shortlist by use case

For an SEO/AEO agency with many clients

1. Profound — strongest fit if you need polished client dashboards and recurring reporting. Profound
2. MentionsFlow — good if you want lightweight multi-client monitoring and automated reports. Mentions Flow
3. Citationly — good if citation tracking is the primary KPI. CITATIONLY

For enterprise marketing teams

• Profound
• HubSpot AEO (especially if CRM attribution matters) HubSpot

If you want to build your own client dashboard

Look for a platform/API that exposes:

• Prompt library management
• AI answer snapshots
• Citation URLs/domains
• Mention classification (positive/negative/neutral)
• Competitor comparison
• Engine-level breakdowns: - ChatGPT
• Claude
• Gemini
• Perplexity
• Google AI Overviews
• Historical tracking
• White-label reporting

Metrics I would put in a client dashboard

Executive view

• AI Visibility Score
• Share of AI Answers
• Citation Share
• Competitor gap
• Trend vs previous period

Answer-level detail

• Prompt asked
• AI platform
• Full answer capture
• Whether client appeared
• Position/order in answer
• Citation source(s)
• Citation authority score
• Recommended action

Content intelligence

• Pages cited most often
• Missing topics/questions
• Competitor sources winning citations
• New content opportunities

If I were choosing for an agency dashboard today

I’d evaluate:

1. Profound for premium enterprise clients. Profound
2. MentionsFlow for scalable agency reporting. Mentions Flow
3. Citationly or Findable for a simpler AI visibility dashboard product. CITATIONLY Sofindable

A key consideration: AI answer tracking is still an emerging category, so I would avoid choosing purely based on a single “AI visibility score.” The valuable data is the raw evidence layer: exact prompts, exact answers, and exact citations. That is what lets you defend reports to clients. CITATIONLY

If your goal is client-facing reporting on how brands appear, rank, and get cited inside AI assistants, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Profound

For a client dashboard/reporting business, I'd lean Profound if budget isn't the primary constraint. It is positioned around enterprise-grade prompt volume, detailed citation/source data, exports and reporting. Bloomiro Tool Solved

The metrics I'd want it to expose are:

• Answer visibility — % of tracked prompts where the client appears
• Answer position — where the brand/product appears in the generated answer
• Citation share — % of cited sources attributable to the client
• Citation URLs — exactly which pages are being cited
• Competitor share of voice
• Sentiment
• Prompt-level history — before/after changes
• Engine breakdown — ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity vs AI Overviews, etc.
• Location/language breakdown
• Trend over time
• Client/brand-level exports and dashboards

That distinction between being mentioned and actually being cited as a source is particularly important. Otterly, for example, explicitly tracks both mentions and the URLs AI engines cite, including which competitor is cited instead. Otterly

If you're building this for an agency

I'd seriously look at Peec AI as the sweet spot. It is repeatedly positioned as a mid-market/agency option, with analytics, competitor benchmarking and citation tracking without the enterprise overhead of Profound. Baarely StayFound

OtterlyAI is the one I'd investigate if you need to keep costs down while still covering a broad set of engines. Its current analytics product says it tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot and Claude, with prompt-level answer and citation data. Otterly

One important caveat

Don't evaluate these purely by their "AI visibility score." Those scores are vendor-specific and aren't directly comparable. What matters for a client dashboard is the underlying prompt → answer → mention → position → citation → URL → competitor data. Omid Saffari

If you tell me how many clients/brands you need to report on and whether this is an agency dashboard or an internal dashboard, I can give you a much tighter recommendation—including API/white-label capabilities, approximate cost, and which tool is easiest to pipe into Looker Studio/Power BI/custom dashboards.

If your main requirement is tracking AI assistant citations + answer placement across multiple platforms and turning that into client-facing dashboards, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: tryprofound.com

Best for: agencies, enterprise SEO/GEO teams, and serious client reporting.

Profound is probably the strongest choice if you want a dedicated AI visibility measurement platform, rather than an SEO suite with an AI feature bolted on. Current comparisons rate it highly for tracking AI visibility, source citations, sentiment, competitors, and multiple answer engines. TechnologyAdvice Novelty SEO

I'd particularly consider it if clients want reporting such as:

• Citation share — how frequently the client is cited vs. competitors
• Answer placement — where the brand appears in generated answers
• Prompt-level tracking — exactly which buyer questions produce visibility
• Source/URL citations — which client pages and third-party sources AI systems use
• Competitor comparison
• Engine-by-engine reporting — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI experiences, etc.
• Historical trends and executive reporting

Best for an agency: otterly.ai

I'd seriously consider OtterlyAI if you're managing multiple client accounts and want something relatively straightforward to operationalize.

Its analytics specifically track mentions, citations, sentiment, share of voice, average position, competitors, and cited URLs, and it supports branded client reports plus a Looker Studio connector. Otterly

That last part is particularly relevant if your desired architecture is:

AI tracking → centralized data → Looker Studio → branded client dashboard

rather than having clients live entirely inside the vendor's dashboard.

Also worth evaluating

Current 2026 comparisons put Profound, Otterly, Scrunch, AthenaHQ, Ahrefs and Semrush among the leading options, but their strengths differ considerably. TechnologyAdvice Bloomiro

What I'd choose for your use case

If you're building client dashboards as a service, I'd rank them:

1. Profound — if budget isn't the primary constraint and you need deep AI visibility data.

2. OtterlyAI — if you need to efficiently manage many clients and want reporting/data integrations.

3. Peec AI — worth a serious look for an agency/multi-brand workflow.

One important distinction: don't evaluate these tools just on "does it mention my client?". For client reporting, I'd want the underlying dataset to expose at least:

Prompt → AI engine → answer → brand position → competitors → cited URLs → citation type → sentiment → date/market

That lets you build much more meaningful dashboards than a simple "AI visibility score." Otterly, for example, explicitly tracks which pages AI engines cite and which competitors appear instead. Otterly

If you tell me how many clients you manage, which platforms you care about (ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity/Gemini/AI Overviews/Copilot), and whether you need an API/Looker Studio/Power BI, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, API access, white-label reporting, citation data, and dashboard capabilities.

If you mean tracking how often a client is mentioned, ranked/recommended, and actually cited by AI assistants across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, etc.—then turning that into a client-facing dashboard, my shortlist is:

My recommendation

For a client-dashboard agency, I'd start with Peec AI or Profound.

• Profound if you need enterprise-grade depth, lots of clients/stakeholders, detailed source/citation analysis, and governance. Recent comparisons consistently position it as the enterprise leader. SEO Counselors MaxAEO
• Peec AI if you want something more straightforward for an agency: track prompts, visibility, position, sentiment and sources, then turn those into reports without the enterprise overhead. MaxAEO Bloomiro
• Otterly is particularly attractive if you're building a larger client base and need economics to work. It tracks mentions, citations, sentiment, share of voice and competitor performance across seven AI engines, and supports PDF/CSV reporting, API/MCP and Looker Studio. Otterly

One important distinction

Don't buy a tool based only on an "AI visibility score."

For client reporting, I'd want the platform to expose these separately:

1. Mention rate — does the AI name the client?
2. Answer position — where does the client appear relative to competitors?
3. Citation rate — does the AI actually cite the client's domain?
4. Citation URL — which exact page gets cited?
5. Citation share — what percentage of citations belong to the client vs. competitors?
6. Prompt coverage — which commercial questions trigger visibility?
7. Competitor displacement — where is a competitor cited instead?
8. Platform/model breakdown — ChatGPT vs. Gemini vs. Perplexity vs. Claude, etc.
9. Historical trend — are citations/positions improving?
10. Client-ready reporting/API — ideally white-label dashboards or Looker Studio/API integration.

That distinction matters because being mentioned isn't the same as being cited. A brand can appear prominently in an answer while another company's website is the source actually cited. Austin Heaton

If I were building the agency stack

Peec/Profound → data → Looker Studio → branded client dashboard

I'd make the executive dashboard something like:

AI Visibility: 68% ↑ 12%
Citation Share: 24% ↑ 7%
Avg. Answer Position: #2.4
Prompts Tracked: 150
Cited URLs: 37
Competitor Citation Share: 31%
Biggest Opportunity: 18 commercial prompts where competitors are cited but client isn't

That's considerably more useful to a client than simply saying "your AI visibility score went up."

If you tell me roughly how many clients you manage (e.g. 10, 50, 200+) and whether you want a white-label dashboard, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/API/reporting capabilities.

If you mean tracking where client brands appear inside AI assistant answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.), which sources get cited, competitor placement, and turning that into client-facing dashboards, you’re looking for an AI visibility / GEO / AEO analytics platform rather than a traditional SEO rank tracker. Elmo AI Scope

My shortlist for an agency/client-dashboard use case:

What I would choose by scenario

For a marketing agency selling monthly AI visibility reports

1. OpenLens — strongest fit if you need a client-facing dashboard experience. OpenLens
2. MentionsFlow — good if white-label PDFs/reports and simple client communication matter. Mentions Flow
3. Peec AI — better if your team is doing serious prompt research at scale. GitHub

For enterprise clients asking “prove AI is mentioning us”

Look at:

• Profound
• Citations.io
• Peec AI

The important metrics should be:

• AI mention rate — % of tracked prompts where the brand appears
• Citation share — how often the brand’s domain/content is cited
• Source authority mix — owned site vs Reddit/news/directories/reviews
• Answer position — #1 recommendation vs buried mention
• Competitor share of voice
• Prompt-level evidence — saved AI answers, not just scores
• Trend reporting — month-over-month movement

Avoid tools that only give a single “AI visibility score”

A dashboard saying “visibility = 72/100” is not enough for clients. The useful deliverable is:

“For these 50 buyer questions, ChatGPT mentioned you 34% of the time, competitors 61%, and the winning citations came from these 12 domains.”

That evidence layer is what makes the report defensible. Citations.io Reputably

If you’re building this as an agency product, I’d lean toward OpenLens or MentionsFlow for the dashboard layer, then add your own Looker Studio/HubSpot reporting layer if you need custom client branding. Mentions Flow OpenLens

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track where brands appear, how often they’re cited, and their position in AI answers across multiple assistants, I’d shortlist these:

My pick for your specific use case

Peec AI would probably be my first evaluation for an agency/client-dashboard workflow. Current 2026 comparisons specifically identify it as a strong agency/multi-brand choice, while still offering citation and competitive visibility data. Prism News Bloomiro

But if you're building something more enterprise-grade, I'd evaluate Profound alongside it. Profound is consistently positioned toward larger organizations needing deeper analytics and reporting. AnswerManiac xSeek

What I would insist the tool track

Don't buy a platform merely because it gives you an "AI visibility score." For client reporting, you want the underlying evidence:

• Assistant: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, etc.
• Prompt: the exact question being monitored
• Brand mention: whether the client appears
• Citation: whether the client's website/content is actually cited
• Citation URL: the exact page being cited
• Answer position: where the client appears in the answer
• Competitor citations: who is being cited instead
• Share of voice
• Sentiment / recommendation quality
• Historical movement
• Prompt-level screenshots or answer captures
• Client/brand segmentation
• White-label dashboards and automated reports
• API/export, if you're feeding data into your own BI/client portal

That's important because "mentioned" and "cited" aren't the same KPI. A client can be named in an AI answer while another company's site is actually used as the supporting source.

For example, some newer platforms explicitly expose mention rate, citation rate, cited URLs, competitor citation share, and average citation position, which is much closer to what I'd want in a client dashboard. Foglift Profitec AI

If you're building a reporting product

I'd actually consider a two-layer stack:

AI visibility platform → your own dashboard/BI layer

That lets you normalize data across clients and create your own KPIs such as:

AI Share of Voice = client citations ÷ total relevant citations

and

Citation Win Rate = prompts where client is cited ahead of competitors ÷ tracked prompts

This gives you a much more compelling client report than simply saying "AI visibility = 72."

If you tell me how many clients you manage, approximate prompts/client, and whether you need white-label dashboards, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms and compare pricing, API access, citation granularity, and agency reporting. Best GEO Software Bloomiro

If you mean client-facing dashboards for tracking how brands appear inside AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.), the category is usually called AI Visibility / AEO / GEO tracking. The “best” tool depends on whether you are an agency, enterprise SEO team, or content team.

Here are the strongest options I’d shortlist:

My picks by use case

Best overall for an agency dashboard

Citations.io or Foglift

• Client-friendly metrics: - citation rate
• AI engine breakdown
• competitor share of voice
• cited URLs
• prompt-level evidence
• historical trends

Citations Foglift### Best for a premium enterprise client deliverable

Lighthouse
Useful if you need to show executives:

• “Where are we appearing?”
• “Which pages are AI systems citing?”
• “What changes will improve visibility?”

Lighthouse### Best if you want SEO + AI visibility combined

HubSpot AEO (especially if clients already live in HubSpot). HubSpot

Metrics your dashboard should include

A serious client dashboard should not just show “mentions.” Track:

• Prompt coverage: % of target questions where the brand appears
• Citation rate: % of answers citing the brand/site
• Citation position: first source vs lower-ranked source
• Cited URLs: which pages AI systems rely on
• Engine breakdown: ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude vs Perplexity
• Competitor displacement: who appears when the client does not
• Sentiment/factual accuracy: whether AI describes the brand correctly
• Trend line: week-over-week movement
• Evidence archive: saved prompts + answer snapshots

If I were building a client reporting stack

I’d choose:

1. Data collection: Citations.io / Foglift / Lighthouse
2. Client dashboard: Looker Studio, AgencyAnalytics, or custom portal
3. Executive KPI: AI Visibility Score + Citation Share of Voice
4. Proof layer: stored prompt → answer → citation URL screenshots

A key point: avoid tools that only count brand mentions. The valuable signal is which prompts produce citations, which URLs win those citations, and how your competitors replace you. Foglift

For an SEO/AEO agency managing 20–200 clients, I would lean toward Foglift or Citations.io; for enterprise consulting retainers, I would evaluate Lighthouse first. Citations Lighthouse Foglift

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track AI assistant mentions, rankings/position, citations, and competitive visibility across multiple AI platforms, my shortlist would be:

🥇 Best overall for agencies: tryprofound.com

Best if you're selling AI-search/GEO reporting as a service.

Profound is particularly strong for client reporting because it tracks:

• AI visibility / share of voice
• Citation share and citation rank
• Average position
• Exact prompts and AI responses
• Competitor comparisons
• Platform-level performance
• Sentiment and positioning
• Citation domains and individual citation pages

Its custom dashboards can be filtered by platform, region, topic, date, etc., and shared with clients through public links or PDF exports. Profound Profound

I'd pick Profound if: you're building a serious agency offering and want the dashboard itself to be part of the client deliverable.

🥈 Best value / easiest implementation: otterly.ai

Otterly is probably the one I'd test first if you want to get a multi-client operation running quickly.

It currently monitors ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Claude, with brand mentions, citations, position, sentiment and share-of-voice tracking. Otterly Otterly

The agency-relevant pieces are especially good:

• Multiple client workspaces
• Client-specific reports
• CSV exports
• API
• Looker Studio connector
• Daily prompt monitoring
• URL-level citation tracking
• 65+ countries/languages
• White-label-ish reporting through your own dashboard layer

Otterly Otterly AII'd pick Otterly if: you want to feed the data into Looker Studio and create your own standardized client dashboard.

🥉 Best if you want a BI/data-stack approach: peec.ai

Peec is interesting for agencies because it explicitly supports multi-client reporting through Looker Studio, plus API/CSV access for BigQuery, Tableau, Power BI, etc. Peec AI

It also distinguishes between:

• Brand mentions
• Source usage — your content influenced the answer
• Explicit citations — your URL was actually cited

That distinction is valuable because "AI mentioned my brand" and "AI considers my website a source" are very different KPIs. Peec AI

It tracks mention rate, average position, citation count and sentiment across major AI platforms. Peec AI

I'd pick Peec if: your agency already has a data/BI infrastructure and you want to own the presentation layer.

My ranking for your specific use case

*Especially strong when you build the client-facing layer yourself.

What I'd actually build

For a client dashboard product, I'd lean toward:

OtterlyAI/Peec → API/Looker Studio → your branded dashboard

rather than making the vendor's native dashboard the product.

Your dashboard could show:

1. AI Visibility Score
2. Share of Voice
3. Average Answer Position
4. Citation Rate
5. Owned Citation Share
6. Competitor Citation Share
7. Mentions by AI platform
8. Top prompts where client appears
9. Prompts where competitors appear but client doesn't
10. Top URLs being cited
11. Citation changes over time
12. Exact AI answers / evidence
13. Sentiment / recommendation context
14. Platform breakdown: ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity vs Google AI, etc.

That gives you a much more compelling client story than simply saying "your brand was mentioned 37% of the time."

If I had to choose one today: Profound for a premium agency/enterprise offering; OtterlyAI for the best balance of capability, API/Looker integration, and ease of scaling across clients. Profound Otterly

I’d start here for most client-reporting use cases.

• Tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude. Otterly Otterly
• Tracks brand mentions, share of voice, average position, sentiment, and citations.
• Lets you drill down to the exact cited URLs, including whether the citation is yours or a competitor's.
• Has branded PDF/CSV reporting, API access, and a Looker Studio connector, which is particularly useful if you're building a dashboard for multiple clients. Otterly
• Supports countries/languages, prompt tagging, and competitor benchmarking. Otterly

Best fit: SEO/GEO agencies that need repeatable client dashboards without building their own data pipeline.

otterly.ai

🥈 Best for sophisticated enterprise/client reporting: tryprofound.com

Profound is probably the stronger choice if the dashboard itself is a major part of your enterprise offering.

It tracks visibility, share of voice, position, citation share, sentiment, competitors, and citation sources across major answer engines. Profound Profound Knowledge Base

Its dashboard tooling is especially good for client reporting: you can create configurable dashboards, filter by platform, region, topic, date, and persona, then share them via public links or PDFs. Profound

Best fit: Enterprise brands, larger agencies, or teams selling a premium "AI visibility intelligence" service.

tryprofound.com

🥉 Best value / clean analytics: peec.ai

Peec is worth considering if you want a simpler analytics experience.

It tracks visibility, position, sentiment, share of voice, mentions, and citation sources across AI platforms, with daily measurement. Peec AI Peec AI

Importantly, it distinguishes between source usage and an explicitly displayed citation, which can be useful when explaining AI visibility to sophisticated clients. It also offers a Looker Studio connector and REST API. Peec AI

Best fit: Agencies wanting a relatively straightforward reporting layer without going as enterprise-heavy as Profound.

My recommendation

One important distinction: "answer placement" needs to be defined carefully. I'd want your system to capture at least:

Prompt → AI platform → answer → brand mentioned? → position/rank → competitors mentioned → cited URLs → citation position → sentiment → date/market

That gives you something substantially more useful than a generic "AI visibility score."

If you're building this for an agency with 20–100+ clients, my pick would be OtterlyAI + Looker Studio, unless you specifically need Profound's more enterprise-oriented answer/citation intelligence. Otterly explicitly supports the Looker Studio pipeline and API, making it easier to turn the underlying measurements into a standardized client dashboard. Otterly

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that show where a brand appears, how it ranks/gets recommended, and which sources AI assistants cite, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 My pick: OtterlyAI

otterly.ai

For the specific use case you described, OtterlyAI is probably the best starting point. It monitors prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot and Claude, and tracks mentions, citation URLs, sentiment, share of voice, ranking/order and competitors. It also offers scheduled, branded reports and a Looker Studio connector—useful if you're building dashboards for multiple clients. Otterly Otterly

The particularly important distinction is that it doesn't just give you an abstract "AI visibility score": it can show which URLs are actually being cited and which competitors are getting cited instead. Otterly

If the dashboard itself is the product

I'd look closely at Peec AI.

It tends to make sense when you're selling AI visibility reporting as an agency deliverable and want something clients can understand without explaining a complicated GEO methodology. Recent comparisons specifically identify Peec as a strong agency/multi-brand option with client-friendly reporting. Prism News The Rank Masters

If you're dealing with large enterprise clients

Profound is the one I'd evaluate. Its strength is deeper source/citation intelligence and much broader enterprise-scale monitoring. Current comparisons put it at the high end of the market, with enterprise coverage extending across roughly 10 AI engines depending on plan. Agentic SEO Tools SEO Counselors

One important caveat

Don't buy based on "AI visibility score" alone. For a client dashboard, I'd want these raw metrics:

• Prompt visibility rate — % of tracked questions where the client appears
• Answer position — where they appear in the recommendation/list
• Citation rate — % of answers citing the client's site
• Citation URLs — exactly which pages get cited
• Citation competitors — who gets cited instead
• Share of voice
• Sentiment / recommendation strength
• Engine-by-engine results
• Change over time
• Actual AI-referred traffic/conversions, separately from visibility

That last distinction matters: being cited by ChatGPT isn't the same thing as generating a visit or lead. The strongest reporting stack combines AI-answer measurements with GA4/CRM data rather than treating an AI visibility score as revenue.

For an agency running 10–100+ client accounts, my practical stack would be: OtterlyAI → Looker Studio → client-specific dashboard templates → GA4/CRM data. Otterly explicitly supports API access to reports, prompts, citations and workspace data, which makes this considerably easier to operationalize. Otterly

If you tell me roughly how many clients you need to track (e.g. 10, 50, 200) and whether you need white-label dashboards, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 and compare their current pricing, API, number of prompts, engines, and client/workspace limits.

If the dashboard itself is the product

I'd look closely at Peec AI.

It tends to make sense when you're selling AI visibility reporting as an agency deliverable and want something clients can understand without explaining a complicated GEO methodology. Recent comparisons specifically identify Peec as a strong agency/multi-brand option with client-friendly reporting.

If you're dealing with large enterprise clients

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that show where brands appear in AI answers, what gets cited, and how they compare across platforms, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Scrunch

For an agency managing multiple clients, I'd lean Scrunch. It lets you monitor the same prompts across nine AI platforms and inspect the actual answers, brand position, sentiment, competitive presence, and cited URLs. Its citation interface can be grouped by domain or individual URL, then drilled down to prompt-level performance. Scrunch Help Center Scrunch Help Center

That's particularly useful for a dashboard metric like:

Client X — AI Search Visibility

• 37% answer presence
• 18% share of answer
• #2 average position
• 24% citation share
• 63 tracked prompts
• 9 AI platforms
• 14 competitor domains
• +8% MoM

OtterlyAI is probably the best alternative

If you want to feed the data into your own client dashboard, Otterly is especially interesting because it has a public API covering brand reports, prompts, citations, recommendations and GEO audits. It also offers a Looker Studio connector and CSV/API reporting. Otterly Otterly

It currently tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude. Otterly

Profound if budget isn't the constraint

I'd look at Profound if you're building a sophisticated enterprise AEO offering. Its citation analysis categorizes sources into owned, competitor, earned media, PR, social, etc., and allows citation-share analysis by platform, topic and prompt. It also says it captures responses directly from the consumer-facing experience rather than simply API outputs. Profound Profound

What I'd choose for a client-dashboard business

Scrunch → best agency dashboard
Otterly → best API/data infrastructure + value
Profound → best enterprise-grade platform

One important distinction: don't evaluate these purely on a generic "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd want the underlying data to include prompt → platform → answer → brand position → cited URL → citation position → competitor → date, because that lets you build meaningful reports rather than another vanity GEO score.

If you're considering building your own dashboard on top of one of these APIs, I'd probably start by evaluating Otterly vs. Scrunch API/data access. Otterly ai-cdn.scrunchai.com

If your goal is client-facing reporting of how AI assistants mention, rank, recommend, and cite brands across multiple platforms, I’d shortlist these:

The category is generally called AI visibility tracking / AEO / GEO. The important distinction is whether a platform merely gives you a "visibility score" or actually stores the underlying AI answers and which URLs were cited, citation position, competitors cited instead, sentiment, and answer changes over time. xSeek Promptwatch

My pick for a client-dashboard business

Peec AI would probably be my first evaluation if you're an agency managing multiple clients. It is positioned specifically around marketing analytics, visibility, competitive benchmarking, and multi-brand use cases. Recent comparisons also put it in the agency/mid-market sweet spot. Bloomiro Arbling

OtterlyAI is particularly interesting if you want to build dashboards yourself. It tracks the actual answers, citations, source URLs, competitor mentions, position and sentiment across seven AI engines, and importantly offers a Looker Studio connector plus branded PDF/CSV reporting. Otterly

That makes a stack like:

Otterly → API/Data → Looker Studio → your branded client portal

quite compelling if your differentiator is the reporting/dashboard layer, rather than the underlying AI-monitoring technology.

If you need really deep citation intelligence

Go with Profound. It's more enterprise-oriented and is generally regarded as the stronger choice when you need granular citation/source analysis and larger-scale AI visibility programs. SEO Counselors Agentic SEO Tools

One caveat: don't judge these tools primarily by their aggregate "AI visibility" score. For client reporting, I'd insist on raw evidence behind the metric:

• Prompt/query
• AI platform/model
• Exact answer
• Brand mention
• Brand position/rank in answer
• Citation URL
• Citation position
• Competitor citations
• Sentiment
• Date/time
• Geographic/language context
• Historical change
• Share of voice
• Citation rate

That's especially important because AI citation patterns can change dramatically between model/platform updates; recent data, for example, showed a major shift in ChatGPT's use of Reddit citations. Business Insider

If you tell me whether you're an agency, SaaS company, or building your own reporting product, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 tools and compare their APIs, white-label dashboards, pricing, client limits, and citation-level data.

If your goal is client-facing AI visibility reporting—who gets mentioned, where they appear in the answer, and which URLs get cited across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.—my shortlist would be:

My pick: Scrunch

For multiple clients, I'd lean toward Scrunch. It specifically tracks:

• Brand presence and share of voice
• Position within AI answers
• Sentiment
• Exact cited URLs/domains
• Competitor mentions and citations
• Prompt-level results
• Platform, topic, persona, geography and funnel-stage segmentation
• Historical trends and reporting

Its citation system can drill from a domain down to the specific URL and prompts that cited it, which is particularly useful when your client asks, "Why is Competitor X showing up in ChatGPT but we aren't?" Scrunch Help Center Scrunch

Scrunch also explicitly supports agency workflows with client-specific prompt sets and reporting around citations, presence and share of voice. Scrunch

If citation attribution is the #1 priority: Profound

I'd choose Profound if you're doing more sophisticated enterprise GEO/AEO work. It monitors the actual consumer-facing experiences of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek, and reports citation sources, authority, competitors, sentiment and visibility across regions/topics/personas. Profound

A recent independent 150-prompt benchmark also rated Profound strongest specifically for citation depth. LLM Visibility Tools

If you want the easiest client dashboard: Peec

Peec AI is probably the most straightforward choice if your clients mainly want:

"How visible are we in AI, how do we compare with competitors, and what sources are getting us cited?"

It reports visibility %, average position, sentiment, share of voice and citation sources across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. It also supports separate client accounts for agencies. Peec AI Peec AI

What I'd use for an agency

Scrunch → best overall agency choice
Profound → best deep enterprise intelligence
Peec → best clean/easy reporting

One important distinction: don't buy a tool just because it reports "AI rankings." AI answers aren't conventional SERPs. For client reporting, I'd make sure the platform captures the actual answer + cited URLs + brand position + competitors + prompt + model/platform + date, rather than reducing everything to a single visibility score.

If you're building this into your own SaaS/client dashboard, rather than buying a dashboard, that's a different answer—I can also compare the APIs/data access of Profound vs Scrunch vs Peec vs Otterly and recommend the best underlying data provider.

If your goal is client-facing AI-search reporting across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, etc., I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Peec AI for an agency

For a client dashboard use case, I'd start with Peec AI. Current comparisons specifically identify it as a strong choice for agencies/multi-brand tracking, with clean visibility benchmarking and client/agency-oriented reporting. Bloomiro AISEOShift

The important metrics I'd want it to expose are:

• AI visibility / share of voice
• Mention rate
• Citation rate
• Citation URLs — exactly which pages/sites the assistant is using
• Citation position — first source vs. lower in the answer
• Answer presence — whether the client is actually recommended/mentioned
• Competitor presence
• Sentiment / recommendation context
• Prompt-level history
• Engine-by-engine performance
• Change over time
• Client-branded reporting

That distinction matters: "ChatGPT mentioned Acme" is much less useful than "Acme was cited in 38% of tracked commercial prompts, appeared as the #1 cited source 21% of the time, and competitor X gained 9 points this month."

If you need the deepest data: Profound

I'd choose Profound if you're building a serious enterprise AEO/GEO reporting operation. It's positioned toward enterprise teams and goes considerably deeper into AI visibility, citations, and related AI-search/agent data. Bloomiro Refine AI

If budget matters: Otterly

Otterly.AI is probably the best place to start if you need to validate the workflow before committing to enterprise software. It has transparent entry pricing and tracks major AI surfaces, although some engine coverage is available as add-ons. Baarely UX Continuum

One caveat for agencies: current reporting says Otterly doesn't provide native white-label reporting, instead pointing agencies toward integrations such as Looker Studio. Baarely

One I'd investigate specifically for your dashboard requirement

Chatobserver is interesting because its product is explicitly built around recording answers, citations, competitors, and reporting, rather than merely providing an AI visibility score. It currently advertises daily monitoring across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Chatobserver

If you're building this for an agency, my ranking would be:

1. Peec AI — best overall agency balance
2. Profound — best for enterprise/deep analytics
3. Chatobserver — interesting for straightforward client reporting
4. Otterly.AI — best lower-cost starting point
5. Scrunch AI — particularly interesting if you also care about AI crawlers/agent traffic

And I would not choose purely based on "number of AI engines." The harder question is whether the platform gives you raw answer + citation-level data that can actually be turned into your own client KPI/dashboard. The underlying answer landscape is changing quickly; for example, recent reporting showed a dramatic shift in ChatGPT's Reddit citation patterns, which illustrates why historical citation data and methodology matter. businessinsider.com

If you're evaluating this to build your own SaaS/client reporting layer, I can also give you a feature-by-feature comparison of Peec vs Profound vs Otterly vs Scrunch, including API, white-label, export, pricing, and whether you can pipe the data into Looker Studio/Power BI.

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track AI assistant mentions, citations, answer position, competitors, and changes across multiple AI platforms, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 My pick: Peec AI

For client dashboards specifically, Peec looks particularly well suited. It tracks mention rate, average position, citation count and sentiment across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot, with daily updates. More importantly for an agency, its Looker/Data Studio connector lets you create branded dashboards across multiple client projects and share read-only dashboards without clients needing Peec accounts. It also supports CSV/API exports into tools such as BigQuery, Tableau and Power BI. Peec AI

That makes it a strong choice if your workflow is:

AI prompts → answers → citations/position → client dashboard → monthly reporting

🏢 Profound if you need deeper attribution

I'd choose Profound instead if you're building a serious enterprise AEO/GEO practice. Its citation system goes beyond simply counting mentions: it tracks which sources AI engines cite, categorizes those sources (owned, competitor, earned media, PR, social, etc.), and exposes citation rank, visibility, share of voice and average position. Profound Profound

Its dashboards can be filtered by platform, region, topic, tags and persona and shared through PDFs or public links. Profound

💰 Otterly if you want simpler/cheaper

OtterlyAI is compelling if you don't need the enterprise depth. It currently tracks seven AI engines and explicitly records every cited URL, along with brand mentions, position, sentiment and competitor data. It also has a Looker Studio connector and public API, which makes it quite practical for automated client reporting. Otterly Otterly

What I'd actually build for clients

Regardless of platform, I'd make the dashboard focus on business-facing metrics, not just "AI mentions":

• AI Visibility / Share of Voice
• Citation rate
• Average answer position
• Citation rank
• % of priority prompts where client appears
• Competitor citation share
• Top URLs being cited
• Top third-party domains being cited
• Prompts where competitors win
• Change MoM
• AI engine breakdown — ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity vs Google, etc.
• Citation opportunities — pages/domains the client should try to get cited
• Actual AI-referred traffic, where measurable

That distinction matters because a brand being mentioned isn't necessarily the same as being recommended, cited, or ranked prominently.

Bottom line: for a marketing agency managing several client accounts, I'd start with Peec AI; for enterprise-grade citation intelligence and deeper AEO analytics, Profound; for an inexpensive, straightforward monitoring layer, OtterlyAI. Recent comparisons also put Peec particularly strongly in the agency/multi-brand use case. bloomiro.com prismnews.com

If you tell me how many clients you manage and whether you want Looker Studio, Power BI, or a completely white-labeled dashboard, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their current pricing/features.

🏢 Profound if you need deeper attribution

I'd choose Profound instead if you're building a serious enterprise AEO/GEO practice. Its citation system goes beyond simply counting mentions: it tracks which sources AI engines cite, categorizes those sources (owned, competitor, earned media, PR, social, etc.), and exposes citation rank, visibility, share of voice and average position. tryprofound.com tryprofound.com

It currently tracks seven AI engines and explicitly records every cited URL, along with brand mentions, position, sentiment and competitor data. It also has a Looker Studio connector and public API, which makes it quite practical for automated client reporting.

What I'd actually build for clients

Regardless of platform, I'd make the dashboard focus on business-facing metrics, not just "AI mentions":

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track both AI citations and where a client appears in AI answers across multiple assistants, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: OtterlyAI

For an agency managing multiple clients, OtterlyAI is probably the best balance of depth, breadth, and reporting. It tracks prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot and Claude, and records mentions, citations, sentiment, share of voice, competitor visibility, and the specific URLs being cited. It also supports branded reports, PDF/CSV exports, an API, and a Looker Studio connector. Otterly Otterly

That's important because I'd structure your client KPI around:

• AI Visibility / Coverage — % of tracked answers where the client appears
• Answer Position — where the client is mentioned/recommended
• Citation Share — % of source citations going to the client's domain
• Share of Voice — client vs. competitors
• Citation URLs — which pages actually earn citations
• Competitor displacement — prompts where competitors appear instead
• Sentiment — positive/neutral/negative mentions
• Engine breakdown — ChatGPT vs. Gemini vs. Perplexity vs. Google AI, etc.
• Trend — week/month-over-month change

If these are agency client dashboards

I'd give AgencyAnalytics AI Tracker serious consideration. Its major advantage isn't necessarily that its AI measurement is deeper than every dedicated AEO platform; it's that the AI data sits alongside SEO, PPC, social, traffic and revenue data in the same client reporting environment. It explicitly supports portfolio-scale client tracking. AgencyAnalytics

So if you're already using AgencyAnalytics, I would not automatically add another dashboard platform.

If you're building a serious GEO/AEO practice

Go with Profound. It is more appropriate when clients expect enterprise-grade AI visibility intelligence, extensive prompt research, source/citation analysis and deeper measurement rather than simply "here's your AI visibility score." Recent comparisons continue to position it as the enterprise-oriented option. SEO Counselors xSeek

One caveat: don't evaluate these platforms purely on their aggregate visibility score. The important distinction is between a brand being mentioned in an answer and its website actually being cited as a source. Those are materially different outcomes. Austin Heaton

What I'd choose

For an SEO/AEO agency with 10–100+ clients:
OtterlyAI + Looker Studio is probably my first choice.

For an agency already standardized on AgencyAnalytics:
AgencyAnalytics AI Tracker is the cleanest operational choice.

For enterprise clients where citation/source intelligence is the product:
Profound.

For a lower-cost but serious AEO monitoring stack:
Peec AI or OtterlyAI.

And I'd avoid buying anything that only gives you a proprietary "AI visibility score" without letting you inspect the underlying prompt, answer, position, cited URL, competitor and engine. AI answers are changing quickly—recent research has even shown dramatic shifts in which third-party sites get cited—so the underlying evidence is much more valuable than a single score. Business Insider

If you tell me how many clients you manage (e.g. 10, 50, 200+) and whether you need white-label dashboards, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, API access, white-labeling, Looker Studio, prompt volume, and AI engines.

If your main goal is client-facing dashboards that show both AI citations and where the client appears/ranks in answers across multiple AI platforms, my top pick right now is Peec AI, with Profound as the stronger enterprise/agency alternative.

My shortlist

🥇 Best overall for an agency: Peec AI

peec.ai

Peec is particularly well suited to the use case you described. It tracks brand mentions, position, sentiment, share of voice and source citations across AI platforms, while distinguishing between a brand being mentioned and a client's content actually being used/cited as a source. Peec AI Peec AI

The big differentiator for an agency is reporting: Peec supports multiple client projects, automated reporting, white-labeled dashboards, Looker Studio, API/CSV integrations, and client-accessible dashboards without requiring clients to have a Peec login. Peec AI

That's very close to:

Client → "How visible are we in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/Google AI?"
Dashboard → visibility + position + citations + competitors + trends
Agency → actionable recommendations and recurring reporting

🥈 Best for sophisticated enterprise reporting: Profound

tryprofound.com

Profound is the one I'd investigate if you're building a high-end GEO/AEO service rather than simply reporting AI visibility.

Its citation analysis lets you classify sources as owned, competitor, earned media, PR, social, institution, etc., then analyze citation share by platform, topic and prompt. Profound

Its dashboarding supports Visibility Score, Share of Voice, Average Position and Citation Rank, with filters for platforms, regions, topics, tags and personas, plus PDF exports and public links. Profound

That's excellent if your client wants a more sophisticated answer than "you were mentioned 42% of the time."

🥉 Best value/easiest implementation: OtterlyAI

otterly.ai

Otterly is compelling if you need to deploy this across lots of smaller clients without a huge platform commitment.

It tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot and Claude, including brand mentions, competitor rankings, sentiment and the URLs cited by the engines. Otterly Otterly AI

It also has API access, CSV/PDF reporting and a Looker Studio connector, which makes it practical for building your own agency dashboard layer. Otterly

What I'd choose

If you're an agency managing multiple clients, I'd rank them:

1. Peec AI — best combination of multi-client management + white-label dashboards + citations + placement.
2. Profound — best if you're selling sophisticated enterprise AEO/GEO intelligence.
3. OtterlyAI — best if price, simplicity and API/Looker Studio integration matter most.

One important distinction: don't only track "brand mentions." Your dashboard should separately report:

• Visibility — % of relevant AI answers where the brand appears
• Answer position — where the brand appears when recommended
• Citation rate — % of answers citing the client's domain
• Citation share — client's citations vs. competitors
• Top cited URLs — which client pages are actually being surfaced
• Third-party citation sources — publishers/review sites/etc. influencing AI answers
• Share of voice
• Sentiment
• Competitor displacement — where competitors appear but the client doesn't
• Platform/model breakdown — ChatGPT vs. Perplexity vs. Gemini vs. Google AI Overviews/Mode
• Prompt-level history — so you can demonstrate movement over time

That distinction is increasingly important because being mentioned by an AI and having your website cited by it are different signals. Peec explicitly separates those metrics, and Otterly likewise provides URL-level citation tracking. Peec AI Otterly

If I were building an agency dashboard today, I'd start with Peec + Looker Studio/API rather than trying to build the tracking infrastructure myself. Peec AI

If you tell me how many clients you manage and whether you need white-label reporting, I can also give you a Peec vs Profound vs Otterly comparison including approximate pricing, API access, platform coverage, and what I'd use for a 10/50/100-client agency.

Client → "How visible are we in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/Google AI?"
Dashboard → visibility + position + citations + competitors + trends
Agency → actionable recommendations and recurring reporting

🥈 Best for sophisticated enterprise reporting: Profound

What I'd choose

If you mean tracking where AI assistants mention, cite, recommend, or rank a client’s brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and AI Overviews — then packaging that into client dashboards (GEO/AEO reporting), the best tools right now are:

My shortlist by use case

Best overall for an agency managing many clients

Citations.io
Good fit if your deliverable is:

• Client portal/dashboard
• Monthly AI visibility report
• Citation wins/losses
• Competitor comparison
• “Why did ChatGPT choose them instead of us?” analysis

Citations### Best for enterprise GEO programs

ZENO Visibility or Zumi

• More emphasis on broad platform monitoring
• Better fit when stakeholders want executive dashboards and trend reporting
• Useful if you track many prompts/categories over time

Zeno Visibility Zumi### Best if you want SEO teams to act on the data

Foglift or Veritas

• More actionable outputs: - cited URLs
• missing content opportunities
• competitor sources winning answers
• optimization recommendations

Foglift Veritas## Metrics I would require before buying any platform

A serious client dashboard should show:

• Citation share - % of tracked AI answers citing the client
• Mention share - % of answers naming the brand even without links
• Prompt-level visibility - “For this exact buyer question, who appears?”
• Engine breakdown - ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude vs Perplexity
• Competitor citation share - Which competitors are replacing the client
• Source URL analysis - Which pages earn citations
• Historical trends - Weekly/monthly movement
• Evidence snapshots - Stored AI responses, timestamps, and cited sources

If I were building an agency stack

I’d likely pair:

1. AI visibility tracker

→ Citations.io / Zumi / ZENO

2. Traditional SEO data

→ Google Search Console + Ahrefs/Semrush

3. Client reporting layer

→ Looker Studio, AgencyAnalytics, or a custom portal

The main caution: AI answer placement changes frequently, so avoid tools that only give a single “AI visibility score.” The underlying evidence (prompt → answer → citation → competitor) is more valuable than the score itself. Recent shifts in which sources AI systems cite also show how volatile these rankings can be. Business Insider Axios

For a white-label agency dashboard specifically, I’d start by evaluating Citations.io, Zumi, and ZENO Visibility side-by-side. Citations Zeno Visibility Zumi

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track AI citations + answer placement across multiple AI platforms, my top pick right now is tryprofound.com.

My ranking

1. Profound — best overall for agencies / client reporting

• Tracks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and others. Profound
• Measures visibility, share of voice, average position, citation share/rank, sentiment, and competitors.
• Particularly strong for citation analysis: you can see which domains/pages are being cited and whether citations go to you or competitors. Profound
• Custom dashboards + public links + PDF exports make it unusually well suited to client reporting. Profound
• You can create a dashboard per client and let clients access continuously updated data without a Profound login. Profound
• peec.ai — best alternative / potentially better UX

• Strong on visibility, position, sentiment, share of voice and citations across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Peec AI Peec AI
• Explicitly supports agencies managing multiple client brands from a dashboard. Peec AI
• I'd seriously demo this alongside Profound if your main use case is GEO/AEO monitoring rather than broader enterprise analytics.
• Otterly.ai — best for a lighter-weight setup

• Worth considering if you don't need the depth of Profound.
• Generally positioned more toward accessible AI-visibility monitoring than enterprise-grade analytics. Current comparisons put it among the leading dedicated AI visibility trackers. CitationDesk

What I'd choose for a client dashboard

For an agency, I'd structure the reporting around:

One important distinction: don't buy a tool solely because it gives you an "AI visibility score." For client reporting, you want the underlying prompt → answer → placement → citation/source data. Profound specifically exposes prompt-level responses and citation data, rather than only an aggregate score. Profound Knowledge Base Profound Knowledge Base

Bottom line

Agency + multiple clients + polished reporting → Profound.

GEO-focused team + strong visibility/citation analytics + simpler workflow → Peec AI.

If you're building this into your own white-label client dashboard, I'd evaluate them differently: API access, raw citation/answer data, historical retention, client/brand segmentation, webhook/export capability, and pricing per tracked prompt become much more important than the dashboard UI.

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track both AI citations and where a brand appears in answers across multiple AI platforms, my shortlist would be:

My pick: Profound

For a client dashboard product, I'd lean Profound. It tracks visibility, share of voice, sentiment, competitor rankings, and—particularly relevant to you—the actual citation sources influencing AI answers. It supports major answer engines including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok and others. Profound Profound

The useful distinction is that Profound lets you drill into citation share by platform, topic, and prompt, while categorizing sources as owned, competitor, earned media, social, institutions, etc. That's much closer to a reportable "why did the AI answer this way?" dataset than simply measuring brand mentions. Profound

Best value for an agency: Peec AI

I'd choose Peec AI if you're managing a lot of clients and don't need the deepest enterprise infrastructure. It specifically supports agency/client monitoring and tracks visibility, position, sentiment, share of voice, mentions, and cited sources across engines. Peec Peec

It also has particularly useful reporting concepts such as:

• % of answers mentioning the client
• average answer position
• citation frequency
• competitor share of voice
• which domains are most frequently cited
• which prompts produce/lose visibility
• changes over time

One important caveat

Don't treat "answer placement" as equivalent to Google SERP position. AI assistants don't consistently have a deterministic #1–#10 ranking. A better client KPI model is:

AI Visibility → Mention Position → Citation Rate → Citation Share → Sentiment → Competitor Share

For example:

Client X — August 2026

• ChatGPT visibility: 42%
• Perplexity visibility: 57%
• Google AI Overviews: 31%
• Average mention position: 2.1
• Citation rate: 28%
• Citation share vs. competitors: 19%
• Top cited third-party domains: Forbes, Reddit, G2
• Lost citations vs. previous month: 14

That gives clients something much more actionable than "you ranked #3 in ChatGPT."

If you're building your own dashboard

I'd actually consider Profound or Peec as the measurement layer, then pipe the data into your own dashboard rather than trying to build the AI-answer collection infrastructure yourself. The underlying measurement is the difficult part, particularly because the platforms generate dynamic answers and citation sets.

If you need raw/API-accessible data rather than a finished dashboard, that's a different shortlist; API-oriented options become more interesting. MentionsAPI

Bottom line:
Profound = best overall for enterprise/client reporting.
Peec AI = probably the best balance for an agency managing multiple clients.
Otterly = best if cost is the primary constraint.

If you tell me roughly how many clients/domains and which platforms you need (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, AI Overviews, Copilot, etc.), I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare their pricing, API/export capabilities, white-label reporting, and dashboard features.

If you're building client-facing AI visibility dashboards for an agency, my top pick right now is Profound.

My shortlist

Why I'd choose Profound

For your specific wording — "track and report AI assistant citations and answer placements across multiple platforms for client dashboards" — you need more than a basic "brand mentioned/not mentioned" tracker.

I'd want these metrics:

• Mention rate / visibility
• Answer position — e.g. recommended #1 vs #7
• Citation rate
• Exact cited URLs/domains
• Share of voice
• Competitor visibility
• Sentiment / narrative
• Platform breakdown — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Claude, Copilot, etc.
• Prompt-level history
• Geographic segmentation
• Automated client reporting/API

Profound specifically tracks visibility, citations, sentiment, positioning and competitors, and its citation product lets you analyze citation share by platform, topic and prompt. www.tryprofound.com

It also queries the consumer-facing AI experiences rather than simply relying on APIs, which is an important distinction when you're selling clients a report about what users actually see. www.tryprofound.com

Where Peec may actually be better

If your priority is "I want to pipe this into my own client dashboard", I'd seriously test Peec AI alongside Profound.

Peec explicitly supports REST API and Looker Studio, and distinguishes between a source being used to generate an answer and being explicitly cited in the answer. That's a very useful distinction for agency reporting. peec.aipeec.ai

It also supports multiple projects/clients and says agencies can monitor separate client brands from a single dashboard. peec.ai

My recommendation:

• Best overall / enterprise agency: Profound
• Best for building your own reporting layer: Peec AI
• Best budget option: Otterly.AI
• Best if AI crawler analytics matter too: xSeek

One important caveat: "answer placement" isn't quite equivalent to Google SERP position. AI answers are dynamic, so I'd report mention position, visibility/share of voice, citation share, and answer presence rather than promise clients a fixed "AI ranking." Profound itself describes position as where a brand appears within the generated answer. www.tryprofound.com

If you tell me how many clients you manage (e.g. 10, 50, 200+) and whether you want white-label dashboards, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, API access, white-labeling, platform coverage, and reporting.

If your goal is agency/client reporting across multiple AI assistants, I’d shortlist these:

My pick for your use case: AgencyAnalytics

If you're selling AI visibility/AEO as a client service, I'd start with AgencyAnalytics AI Tracker. Its major advantage isn't necessarily having the fanciest AI-specific analytics—it's that the AI data sits alongside the client's SEO, PPC, social, traffic, and revenue reporting. It specifically supports portfolio-scale client tracking. agencyanalytics.com

That makes the client conversation much easier:

AI visibility → citations → traffic/revenue

rather than handing clients yet another standalone dashboard.

If citation intelligence is the actual product you're selling

I'd look closely at Citations.io. It tracks the actual URLs/domains being cited, keeps an answer archive, measures competitive share of voice, and lets you drill down by prompt and engine. citations.io

That's particularly useful if your report needs to answer:

• Did ChatGPT cite us?
• Which URL did it cite?
• Which competitor got cited instead?
• What position did we occupy in the answer?
• Which prompts are we winning/losing?
• How did that change month-over-month?

Best specifically for white-label agency reporting

DabaRank is worth testing. It explicitly targets agencies/multi-brand teams, tracks eight AI platforms, runs prompts daily, and offers white-label PDF reporting. www.dabarank.com

One important distinction

Don't buy a tool merely because it reports an "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd prioritize raw evidence:

Prompt → AI platform → answer → brand position/mention → cited URL → competitor → date → change over time

Then build your executive metrics from that dataset:

• AI Share of Voice
• Citation rate
• Answer placement
• Citation domains
• Competitor displacement
• Visibility by platform
• Visibility by customer intent
• Citation growth MoM
• AI-generated traffic/conversions where measurable

That gives you something substantially more defensible than a proprietary 0–100 "GEO score."

My ranking for an agency:
1. AgencyAnalytics for the overall client dashboard
2. DabaRank for white-label/multi-client AI reporting
3. Citations.io for deep citation evidence
4. Profound if you're serving large enterprise clients
5. Peec AI / Otterly if you want a lighter-weight monitoring layer

If you tell me roughly how many clients/brands you need to track (e.g. 10, 50, 200+), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, API access, white-labeling, prompt limits, citation-level data, and dashboard capabilities.

If your goal is agency/client reporting—tracking whether clients appear in AI answers, which sources get cited, where they rank/appear, competitors, and trends across multiple AI platforms—I’d shortlist these:

My pick for your use case

Start with OtterlyAI if you're managing multiple clients and need something you can actually turn into recurring client reporting. Its combination of multi-engine monitoring + citation tracking + workspaces + API is unusually aligned with an agency dashboard workflow. otterly.ai

I'd use a dashboard with roughly:

• AI Visibility / Share of Voice
• Answer placement — e.g. #1 recommendation, top 3, mentioned, absent
• Citation rate
• Cited URLs/pages
• Citation share by competitor
• Prompt-level results
• Engine breakdown — ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity vs Google AI
• Sentiment / positioning
• Visibility trend MoM
• New/lost citations
• Competitor displacement
• Top opportunities — prompts where competitors are cited but client isn't

One important distinction: don't buy a tool merely because it tracks "mentions." For client reporting, you want the underlying answer + source/citation + prompt + engine + timestamp, otherwise you're mostly producing a vanity visibility score. Otterly explicitly says its monitoring captures brand mentions, citations, prompts and source links, and exposes this through its API. otterly.ai

If you're building your own client dashboard rather than using the vendor's dashboard, I'd lean Otterly or Profound as the data layer, then pipe the data into Looker Studio/Power BI/your own SaaS. That gives you a branded reporting layer instead of making clients log into another SEO tool.

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track both AI citations and how prominently clients appear in answers across multiple AI platforms, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: OtterlyAI

For an agency managing multiple clients, I'd start with OtterlyAI + Looker Studio.

The important distinction is that you don't just want a dashboard saying "Client X was mentioned 37 times." You want to capture:

• AI platform — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI, Copilot, etc.
• Prompt/query
• Was the client mentioned?
• Where did they rank/appear in the answer?
• Was their site actually cited?
• Which URL was cited?
• Citation share vs. competitors
• Share of voice
• Sentiment / recommendation context
• Changes over time
• Which third-party domains are winning citations
• Which client pages are being cited
• Geography/language, where relevant

Otterly explicitly exposes prompt responses and citation URLs, and its current product supports reporting data through a Looker Studio connector so clients can view dashboards without needing an Otterly login. otterly.aihelp.otterly.ai

One important caveat

I'd not make "number of citations" your primary KPI. AI answers are inherently variable. Profound, for example, emphasizes running tracked prompts repeatedly/daily because the same prompt can produce different answers. www.tryprofound.comwww.tryprofound.com

For client reporting, I'd build the executive dashboard around:

AI Visibility → Answer Position → Citation Share → Competitor Share → Trend

Then let the detailed report drill down to individual prompts and URLs.

Also, this market is changing quickly: recent data shows citation patterns themselves can move substantially even within weeks, so historical tracking is more valuable than one-off "AI audit" screenshots. www.axios.com

If you tell me whether you're an SEO/GEO agency, SaaS company, or in-house team—and roughly how many clients/domains you need to track—I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, API access, white-labeling, dashboarding, and platform coverage.

If you're doing this for clients and need a dashboard/reporting layer, my shortlist would be:

My pick for a client dashboard

Profound if budget isn't the main constraint. Otterly.AI if you want the best agency-oriented balance.

The important distinction is that you don't just want an "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd make sure the platform gives you these per prompt × per engine:

• Mentioned?
• Recommended?
• Citation present?
• Citation URL/domain
• Position/order of citation
• Share of answer / share of voice
• Competitors appearing instead
• Sentiment / answer quality
• Historical change
• Exact answer captured
• Prompt-level drilldown
• White-label reports
• Multiple client/workspace support
• API/export, if you're building your own dashboard

That last group matters because "visibility" can hide a lot. Ahrefs, for example, explicitly distinguishes a mention from a citation, while other platforms combine them into a single visibility metric. ahrefs.com

If you're building your own client dashboard

I'd actually consider using an existing tracker as the data collection layer and building your own reporting layer.

Something like:

AI engines → tracking platform/API → database → your dashboard → scheduled client report

Your dashboard could then show:

AI Visibility: 64% ↑ 12%
Citation Share: 31% ↑ 8%
Average Answer Position: 2.1
Competitor Share: Competitor A 38% / Client 31% / Competitor B 19%

ChatGPT: 72% visibility
Perplexity: 61%
Gemini: 54%
Claude: 49%

Top citation sources: Forbes, G2, client.com, Reddit
Biggest lost opportunities: 14 buyer-intent prompts
New this month: 7 citations
Lost this month: 3 citations

That is substantially more useful to a client than a generic "AI score."

One newer option worth testing is Citations.io, which is explicitly built around live citation feeds, share of answer, competitors, prompt tracking and client-style reports across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. citations.io

If you tell me whether you're an SEO/AEO agency, SaaS company, or building a reporting product yourself, I can narrow this to the 2–3 best platforms and compare their API, white-label, pricing, engines, and dashboard capabilities.

If you mean AI-search / GEO visibility for clients—tracking whether a brand gets mentioned, where it appears in an answer, and which URLs get cited across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Claude, etc.—my pick is Peec AI for an agency/client-dashboard use case.

My shortlist

Why I'd start with Peec AI: it tracks mention rate, average position, citations and sentiment at the prompt/client level across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. More importantly for your use case, it supports multiple client projects, Looker Studio/Data Studio dashboards, API/CSV exports, and white-labeled/read-only client dashboards. peec.aipeec.ai

Peec AI for Agencies

OtterlyAI is probably the best alternative if you want something simpler and potentially more economical. It currently covers seven major AI search experiences, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and its prompt analysis exposes the actual citation URLs. It also has a public API. help.otterly.ai

OtterlyAI

Profound is the one I'd investigate for a larger agency/enterprise operation. Its metrics go beyond basic mentions: visibility, share of voice, mention position, citation share, co-citation, sentiment and competitor positioning. It also queries the actual front-end AI experiences rather than simply relying on model APIs. www.tryprofound.com

Profound

What I'd choose

• 10–100+ clients / agency dashboards: Peec
• Need broad coverage + straightforward monitoring: OtterlyAI
• Enterprise, deep competitive intelligence, executive reporting: Profound

One important distinction: don't evaluate these tools solely on a generic "AI visibility score." For client reporting, I'd want the raw data behind it:

Prompt → AI platform → answer → brand mention → mention position → cited URL → citation position → competitor mentions → date/region → historical change.

That's what lets you produce a credible client dashboard rather than another opaque SEO-style score. Peec explicitly distinguishes brand mentions from source citations, which is particularly useful here. peec.aipeec.ai

If you tell me how many clients you manage and whether you want Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau, or a custom dashboard, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options with current pricing and API/white-label details.

If your goal is tracking AI assistant citations, answer placements, and share of voice across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews—and presenting that in client dashboards—I'd separate the market into enterprise, agency, and SMB options.

For agencies serving clients

If you're producing recurring client reports, Profound is currently the strongest option because it offers:

• Prompt-level tracking
• Citation share
• Competitor comparisons
• Historical trends
• Shareable dashboards
• PDF exports
• Public dashboard links
• API/CSV exports for BI tools www.tryprofound.com

If you build dashboards in Looker Studio or Power BI

I'd look for a platform with API or export support, then combine AI visibility with business KPIs.

A typical client dashboard includes:

• AI Visibility Score
• Share of Voice by assistant
• Citation Share
• Top cited pages
• Lost citations vs. previous month
• Competitor comparison
• Top prompts monitored
• Response sentiment
• Traffic from AI referrals
• Conversions attributed to AI traffic

Platforms monitored

The better platforms typically monitor combinations of:

• ChatGPT
• Google AI Overviews / AI Mode
• Perplexity
• Claude
• Gemini
• Microsoft Copilot
• Grok

Coverage varies by vendor and pricing tier, so it's worth confirming the exact engines included before purchasing. www.tryprofound.comomnicite.co

My recommendations by budget

• Enterprise (large brands or agencies with many clients): Profound
• Growing agency (10–100 clients): Scrunch AI
• Small agency or consultant: Peec AI or Otterly.ai
• Already invested in SEO platforms: Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit or Ahrefs Brand Radar

If your agency's deliverable is polished client reporting, I'd prioritize Profound or Scrunch AI, as they're designed around ongoing monitoring, competitor benchmarking, and client-friendly dashboards rather than one-off visibility checks.

If you mean tracking how often AI assistants cite a client’s brand/content, where they appear in answers, competitor placement, and reporting that can be shown in client dashboards, you’re looking for an AI visibility / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform, not a traditional SEO rank tracker.

My shortlist:

My recommendation by use case

Agency with 10–100+ clients

1. CitePilot — strongest fit if your deliverable is a recurring client report with actions. www.getcitepilot.comcitations.io
2. Citations.io — strongest if you mainly need “proof that AI mentioned/cited the client.” citations.io

SEO agency adding AI visibility as a service

• Consider pairing an existing SEO suite with a GEO tracker. AI citation tracking is still a newer category, and many tools focus specifically on AI answer presence rather than replacing SEO platforms. www.techradar.com

Enterprise / custom dashboards
Look for APIs, exports, or webhooks. The raw data model you want is:

• Client/domain
• Target prompts
• AI platform/model
• Date checked
• Full answer snapshot
• Whether brand appeared
• Citation URL(s)
• Citation position in answer
• Competitor mentions
• Sentiment/context
• Share of answer / visibility %
• Change over time

A tool that only gives an “AI visibility score” is usually not enough for client reporting; you want the underlying evidence (prompt → answer → citation → placement). foglift.io

If I were building an agency dashboard today, I’d prioritize CitePilot or Citations.io for the data layer, then pipe results into a branded client portal (Looker Studio, Metabase, HubSpot reporting, or a custom app). www.getcitepilot.comcitations.io

If your main requirement is tracking AI citations + answer placement across multiple engines and turning that into client-facing dashboards, I’d shortlist these:

My pick for your use case

Peec AI would be my first evaluation if you're an agency managing multiple clients. Its combination of prompt tracking + citation/source analysis + competitor visibility + reporting/API capabilities maps closely to a client-dashboard workflow. maxaeo.ai

I'd choose Profound instead if your clients are larger enterprises and you need the deepest analytics/governance layer. maxaeo.ailoudmink.ai

I'd choose Otterly if you want to maximize the number of client accounts you can monitor without the enterprise-tool cost. Its public product documentation specifically describes API access to brand reports, prompts, citations, and workspace data, which is useful if you're building your own dashboard layer. otterly.ai

Important distinction: don't buy a tool merely because it reports "AI mentions." For client reporting, I'd require prompt → answer → brand position → cited URL/source → competitor position → engine → historical trend. That's much more actionable than a generic visibility score.

If you tell me how many clients you manage (e.g. 10/50/100+) and whether you want white-label dashboards, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, API access, Looker Studio, white-labeling, citation-level data, and ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/Claude coverage.

If your main goal is client-facing dashboards that track AI citations, answer placement, competitors, and visibility across multiple AI assistants, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: OtterlyAI

For an agency managing multiple clients, OtterlyAI looks like the strongest practical choice right now. It tracks brand mentions, domain citations, competitor presence, prompt-level results, position/coverage, sentiment, and the actual URLs being cited. Its current coverage includes ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Claude. help.otterly.aihelp.otterly.ai

The particularly important part for your use case is the reporting/API layer. Otterly provides an API that can feed visibility and citation data into Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc., and it explicitly supports automated client reporting. help.otterly.ai It also has a native Looker Studio connector on eligible plans. help.otterly.ai

So you could build a client dashboard around:

• AI visibility / share of voice
• Answer placement / position
• Brand mentions
• Domain citation rate
• Individual cited URLs
• Citation share vs. competitors
• Which prompts trigger citations
• Which third-party sites are getting cited instead
• Sentiment
• Visibility trends over time
• Engine-by-engine performance
• Country/market breakdown
• Raw AI answers for auditability

Otterly's prompt-level reporting specifically exposes brand coverage, mentions, domain citations, competitors and detailed response/citation data. help.otterly.ai

When I'd choose Profound instead

If you're selling high-end enterprise AEO/GEO reporting, I'd look very seriously at Profound.

Its citation product is more focused on understanding where AI gets its information, including citation share by platform/topic/prompt, source categorization, competitor citations, and identifying the publishers that influence AI answers. www.tryprofound.com

In other words:

Otterly = better agency reporting/data-access proposition

Profound = deeper enterprise citation intelligence

Peec is worth testing too

Peec AI is attractive if you want a relatively clean marketing analytics experience. Its core metrics include visibility, position and sentiment, with prompt monitoring and competitor analysis. peec.ai

One important distinction

I'd separate "AI visibility tracking" from "AI traffic/revenue attribution."

Most of these platforms are excellent at answering:

"When someone asks an AI assistant about our category, does our client appear, where do they appear, and what sources does the AI cite?"

They're much less definitive at answering:

"How many leads/revenue did those AI citations actually generate?"

That second layer generally requires connecting your AI visibility data to GA4/CRM/conversion data. That's where I'd build the client dashboard rather than relying exclusively on the vendor's native dashboard.

For an agency stack, I'd probably do: Otterly → API → BigQuery → Looker Studio, with a standardized dashboard template per client. Otterly explicitly supports that data flow. help.otterly.ai

If you tell me how many clients you manage and whether you use Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau, or something else, I can narrow this down to the best platform + dashboard architecture and compare pricing/API/white-label capabilities.

If your goal is client-facing AI-search reporting—tracking whether a client is mentioned, where they appear in the answer, and which URLs get cited across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, etc.—my first choice right now is Peec AI.

Best fit: Peec AI

For an agency managing multiple client accounts, Peec looks particularly strong because it tracks:

• Mention rate
• Average answer position
• Citation count / citation rate
• Sentiment
• Competitor visibility
• Individual cited URLs
• Multiple AI surfaces, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Copilot. peec.ai
• Looker/Data Studio connector for building branded client dashboards
• CSV/API access for pushing the data into BigQuery, Tableau or Power BI
• Automated client reporting/Google Slides workflows. peec.ai

That combination makes it better suited to a repeatable agency reporting system, rather than simply an internal SEO tool.

Other serious contenders

Profound — I'd investigate this if you're targeting enterprise clients and need deeper AI-search analytics, reporting and integrations. Current comparisons consistently put it toward the enterprise end of the market. www.xseek.io

OtterlyAI — probably the best alternative if you want something easier/cheaper to deploy across lots of smaller clients. It captures the actual AI answers and citation URLs and supports six major AI-search surfaces from one dashboard. otterly.ai

My ranking for an agency

One important distinction: don't optimize around "mentions" alone. For client reporting, I'd make the core metrics answer inclusion → answer position → citation → cited URL → share of voice → competitor displacement. That's much more actionable than a generic "AI visibility score." The current market is increasingly separating citation rate from simple brand mentions for exactly this reason. peec.ai

If you tell me roughly how many clients/prompts you need to track (e.g. 10 clients × 100 prompts), I can narrow this down to the best tool and plan for your agency.

If you’re building client-facing dashboards for AI assistant visibility (citations, mentions, answer placement, competitor share-of-voice), you’re looking for an AI Search Visibility / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform, not a traditional SEO rank tracker. These tools are still evolving, but the strongest options depend on whether you prioritize agency reporting, enterprise analytics, or technical citation analysis. slatehq.comtechnologyadvice.com

What I would include in a client dashboard

A useful AI visibility dashboard should track:

Citation count alone can be misleading because AI answers vary between runs; stronger measurement approaches treat visibility as a repeated sampling problem rather than a single fixed ranking. arxiv.org

My shortlist by use case

For a digital marketing agency selling monthly AI visibility reports, I’d start by evaluating Profound vs Peec AI vs Semrush. Those are the closest to a client-reporting workflow rather than just an internal SEO tool. slatehq.comtechnologyadvice.com

If your goal is client-facing dashboards that track AI visibility, citations, and answer placement across multiple AI platforms, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Profound

For an agency managing multiple clients, Profound is probably the strongest choice right now. It tracks visibility, share of voice, sentiment, competitive positioning, and—crucially—the actual websites being cited in AI answers. It covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok and others. www.tryprofound.com

Its citation reporting lets you answer the client question that matters most:

“Why is the AI recommending our competitor instead of us?”

You can see which domains are being cited, categorize sources as owned/competitor/earned media/etc., and identify publishers that consistently influence AI answers. www.tryprofound.com

Best alternative: OtterlyAI

I'd choose OtterlyAI if you're an SEO/AEO agency and want something simpler and potentially more economical. Its current platform covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, with citation reporting showing which URLs are influencing AI answers. otterly.ai

One important caveat

Don't evaluate these tools solely on a single “AI visibility score.” AI answers are nondeterministic: repeated searches for the same prompt can produce different citations and rankings. Recent research specifically finds substantial variability in citation visibility across repeated measurements. arxiv.org

For a serious client dashboard, I'd want these fields:

• AI platform — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode/AIO, etc.
• Exact prompt
• Brand mentioned?
• Brand answer position
• Competitor positions
• Cited URL
• Citation position/count
• Citation domain
• Owned vs. third-party citation
• Share of voice
• Sentiment/accuracy
• Change over time
• Geographic/locale variation
• Prompt-level answer snapshots

Bottom line:
Profound if you're selling sophisticated AI-search reporting to enterprise clients. OtterlyAI if you want a leaner agency workflow and strong citation monitoring without as much platform complexity. If you're already deep into Semrush, its AI Visibility Toolkit is worth evaluating before adding another system.

If your goal is client-facing AI search reporting—tracking whether brands are mentioned, which URLs get cited, competitor placement, and performance across ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini/AI Overviews—I’d shortlist these:

🥇 My pick: Peec AI

Peec AI

For an agency building dashboards for clients, Peec AI is probably the sweet spot. Current industry comparisons specifically position it for agencies and multi-engine tracking, with tracking around AI mentions/citations, competitors, and share of voice. www.aeolabs.aigetrefine.ai

I'd want your client dashboard to expose:

• AI visibility / share of voice
• Citation rate
• Exact cited URLs
• Prompt → answer → citation drill-down
• Position/order of brand recommendations
• Competitor appearances
• Engine-by-engine results: ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity, etc.
• Historical trend
• Lost/won citations
• Which third-party domains are influencing the answers
• Export/API access

🏢 If clients are enterprise: Profound

Profound

Profound is the one I'd investigate if you're selling a premium AI-search intelligence service rather than simply adding a reporting widget. It's generally positioned toward enterprise-grade analysis and deeper citation/competitor intelligence. www.trylyra.ai

💰 If you need inexpensive tracking: Otterly

Otterly AI

Otterly is particularly interesting if you need to spin up lots of client monitoring without an enterprise budget. It tracks mentions, citations, platform visibility and competitors, and importantly has a public API for reports, prompts, citations and workspace data—useful if you're putting the data into your own client dashboard. otterly.ai

One important caveat

Don't build your reporting around a single daily "AI visibility score." AI answers are stochastic: the same prompt can produce different answers and citations at different times. Recent research specifically argues that citation visibility should be treated as a distribution/estimate rather than a precise fixed number. arxiv.org

For clients, I'd therefore report something like:

AI Citation Visibility: 34% → 41% over 30 days
127 tracked prompts × 4 engines
52 brand citations
18 competitor citations
+7 net citation points
Top newly cited source: [domain/page]

That is much more defensible than saying "your AI ranking is #3."

If I were building this for an agency today: I'd trial Peec + Otterly, specifically testing their API/export, white-label reporting, prompt-level response data, citation URLs, and client/workspace management. If the clients are large enterprises, add Profound to the bake-off. Current 2026 comparisons consistently put those three among the strongest options. www.aeolabs.aigetrefine.ai

If you tell me how many clients/brands you need to track and which platforms matter (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Copilot), I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, API, white-label dashboards, citation-level data, and multi-client limits.

If your goal is client-facing AI visibility reporting—tracking mentions, citations, answer position, competitors, and source URLs across multiple AI platforms—my shortlist for 2026 is:

My pick for your use case: OtterlyAI

If you're running multiple clients and need dashboards/reports they can actually consume, Otterly is probably the best starting point. Its Workspaces separate clients, prompts, reports and team members, and its Looker Studio integration lets you build custom client dashboards. help.otterly.aiotterly.ai

I'd structure the client dashboard around:

• AI Visibility / Mention Rate
• Citation Rate
• Average Answer Position
• Share of Voice vs. Competitors
• Platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Copilot
• Prompts won/lost
• Exact URLs cited
• Which competitors are cited instead
• Citation-source share — e.g. Reddit, Forbes, industry publications, client site
• Trend over time
• Top opportunities / prompts where the client should appear but doesn't

One important caveat: don't present an AI visibility percentage to clients as equivalent to Google Search Console impressions. AI answers are nondeterministic; repeated runs can produce different answers and citations, so trends over a sufficiently large prompt sample are much more meaningful than a single snapshot. arxiv.org

If you're building your own reporting product

I'd actually use Otterly or Peec as the data collection layer, then put your own dashboard on top. The differentiator shouldn't just be "AI mentions." I'd make the core client metric:

Citation Share of Voice + Answer Position + Citation Quality

That gives you a much more compelling agency report than a generic "AI visibility score."

If you tell me how many clients you manage and which platforms you need (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Copilot, etc.), I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, API/Looker Studio, white-label reporting, and citation-level data.

If your priority is tracking AI-assistant citations + answer placement across multiple platforms and turning that into client-facing dashboards, my pick right now is Peec AI.

My shortlist

Why I'd choose Peec: its agency offering is unusually well aligned with your exact use case. It tracks mentions, citations, average position, sentiment and visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot, with daily tracking. peec.ai

More importantly, it has an agency workflow rather than simply giving you a monitoring dashboard:

• One account across multiple clients
• Client-specific projects/workspaces
• Branded Looker Studio dashboards that clients can access without a Peec login
• CSV/API access for your own BI stack
• Automated reporting through its MCP integrations
• Citation/source-level analysis, not just "brand mentioned: yes/no"
• Competitor and share-of-voice tracking
• Ability to distinguish mention rate from citation rate—important because an assistant can cite a client's site without explicitly naming the brand. peec.ai

Peec AI agency platform

Peec vs. Otterly

OtterlyAI is probably the runner-up, especially if cost and simplicity matter more than deeper analytics. It also supports multiple client workspaces, daily monitoring, citation analysis, and Looker Studio dashboards. Its API can feed data into Looker, Tableau, Power BI, BigQuery, etc. otterly.ai

The distinction I'd make:

Choose Peec if: you're building an actual AI visibility reporting product/service for clients and want source-level analysis, attribution, APIs/MCP and sophisticated reporting.

Choose Otterly if: you primarily need reliable monitoring + easy client dashboards without needing as much analytical depth.

One caveat: Otterly's native UI isn't white-label; the white-label experience is achieved through Looker Studio. help.otterly.ai

OtterlyAI agency platform

What I'd put in a client dashboard

Don't make the dashboard just a "visibility score." I'd structure it around:

1. AI Visibility — % of tracked answers where client appears
2. Answer Position — where the brand appears/recommended within the answer
3. Citation Rate — % of answers citing the client's domain
4. Citation Share — client's share of all cited sources
5. Competitor Share of Voice
6. Top Prompts Won/Lost
7. Top Cited URLs
8. AI Engine breakdown — ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Perplexity vs Google AI, etc.
9. Sentiment / recommendation strength
10. Change WoW/MoM
11. Business impact — AI-referred traffic/conversions where available

That distinction between being mentioned, being cited, and actually influencing the answer is increasingly important. Research published in 2026 specifically argues that citation counts alone don't capture whether a cited page was actually absorbed into the generated answer. arxiv.org

Bottom line:
🏆 Peec AI — best fit for an agency/client-dashboard operation
💰 OtterlyAI — best simpler/value alternative
🏢 Profound — investigate if you're selling enterprise-level GEO intelligence

If you're building this for 10–100+ client accounts, I'd lean Peec + Looker Studio rather than trying to build the tracking layer yourself.

If your goal is client-facing AI visibility reporting across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Claude, and Copilot, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 Best overall for an agency: urlOtterlyAIturn0search7

This is probably the best fit for your exact use case.

• Tracks brand mentions and actual cited URLs
• Covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews/AI Mode, Copilot, and Claude
• Prompt-level answer/competitor tracking
• Daily monitoring
• Citation reports with filters by engine, country, tags, etc. help.otterly.ai
• Most importantly for clients: its Looker Studio connector lets you build custom dashboards and share them without clients needing an Otterly account. help.otterly.aihelp.otterly.ai

Best if: you're an agency/consultant managing multiple client accounts and want branded dashboards without building the data pipeline yourself.

🏢 Best enterprise option: urlProfoundturn0search6

Profound is stronger if you're doing serious enterprise AEO/GEO intelligence rather than simply reporting rankings.

Its citation analysis can break citation share down by platform, topic, prompt, owned vs. competitor vs. earned media, etc., and it connects the findings to content/outreach workflows. www.tryprofound.com

Best if: clients want sophisticated competitive intelligence and you're comfortable with enterprise-level tooling/pricing.

📊 Best alternative: Peec AI

Peec is worth evaluating if you want a more analytics-oriented AI visibility platform. It provides platform-specific visibility and citation intelligence, including Gemini citation tracking. peec.ai

My recommendation

If you're building recurring client reports, I'd start with OtterlyAI. Its combination of multi-engine monitoring + citation-level data + competitor visibility + Looker Studio integration is unusually well aligned with an agency reporting workflow. help.otterly.aihelp.otterly.ai

One important caveat: don't report a single "AI ranking" number as gospel. AI answers are stochastic; repeated runs can produce different citations and rankings. Recent research specifically finds substantial citation variability across generative search systems. arxiv.org Your dashboard should therefore show visibility/share of voice over repeated observations, citation frequency, platform breakdown, and trends—not just "you ranked #2."

If you tell me how many clients/prompts you need to monitor and whether you want Looker Studio, Power BI, or a white-label portal, I can narrow this to the best stack and approximate monthly cost.

If your primary goal is tracking AI citations, answer placements, share of voice, and client reporting across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI assistants, the market has started to separate into enterprise, agency, and SMB tiers.

Here's how I'd evaluate them:

If you're building dashboards for clients

I'd narrow it to three options.

1. Profound (Best overall)

Profound is currently one of the strongest enterprise-focused AEO/GEO platforms. It tracks:

• AI citations
• Answer placements
• Share of voice
• Competitor comparisons
• Prompt tracking
• Citation sources
• Historical trends
• Exports for BI tools

It also lets you monitor how often your brand appears across different answer engines and compare citation share against competitors. www.tryprofound.com

Best for:

• Agencies
• Enterprise SEO
• Fortune 1000 reporting

2. Goodie (Best for marketing teams)

Goodie is more focused on turning visibility into business reporting.

It tracks:

• AI mentions
• Citations
• Sentiment
• Prompt research
• Competitive visibility
• ROI measurement

It has a cleaner marketing workflow than some enterprise tools. higoodie.com

3. Peec AI (Best value)

Peec is becoming popular with agencies because it's easier to deploy than enterprise platforms while still tracking:

• ChatGPT
• Gemini
• Claude
• Perplexity
• citation frequency
• share of voice
• prompt monitoring

Community feedback consistently highlights its ease of setup, though it offers less optimization guidance than higher-end platforms. www.noveltyseo.com

For agency client dashboards

If I were building recurring client reports, I'd include KPIs such as:

• AI Share of Voice (% of tracked prompts)
• Citation Share
• Average Position in AI recommendations
• Brand Mention Rate
• Competitor Mention Rate
• Citation Source Breakdown (owned, earned, third-party)
• Platform Breakdown (ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude vs Perplexity)
• Prompt Categories
• Weekly Movement
• Top New Citations
• Lost Citations
• Sentiment
• Traffic from AI assistants (using analytics and UTM tagging)

Many agencies then pipe this data into BI tools like Looker Studio or Power BI for branded client dashboards.

My recommendation by budget

• Enterprise ($1k–$5k+/month): Profound
• Mid-market agency: Goodie or Peec AI
• Small agency or freelancer: Otterly AI
• Already invested in SEO tooling: Semrush AI Toolkit

For agencies managing multiple clients, Profound currently offers the most mature feature set for tracking citations and answer placements across major AI platforms, while Peec AI provides a strong balance of capability and cost for growing agencies. www.tryprofound.comwww.tryprofound.com

If you're looking to track how often brands are cited or recommended by AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, etc.) and report that to clients, the market is still emerging. The best tool depends on whether you need enterprise monitoring, SEO-focused visibility, or custom analytics.

Here's a comparison of the strongest options:

If you're an agency

The strongest agency stack today is typically:

• Profound for enterprise-grade monitoring
• Peec AI for agency-friendly reporting
• Scrunch AI for optimization recommendations

These platforms generally let you:

• Monitor hundreds or thousands of prompts
• Track brand mentions and citations
• Compare competitors
• Measure share of voice
• Detect answer changes over time
• Export reports or provide client dashboards

If you want white-label dashboards

Many agencies pair an AI monitoring platform with:

• Looker Studio
• Power BI
• Tableau

This gives clients branded dashboards while pulling data from the monitoring platform's API (where available).

If you need maximum flexibility

Some larger agencies build their own system using:

• APIs from AI platforms where available
• Scheduled prompt testing
• Citation extraction
• Answer similarity scoring
• Storage in a database
• Dashboards in Looker Studio or Power BI

This approach offers the most customization but requires engineering effort.

Recommendation by budget

• Enterprise ($1k–$5k+/month): Profound
• Mid-market agencies ($300–$1k/month): Peec AI or Scrunch AI
• SEO agencies already using Semrush: Semrush AI Toolkit
• Custom reporting at scale: Build on top of an AI visibility platform's API and visualize results in Looker Studio or Power BI.

If your goal is specifically tracking citations and answer placements across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot in client-facing dashboards, AI-native platforms such as Profound, Peec AI, and Scrunch AI are currently among the most purpose-built options.

For a client-facing dashboard that tracks AI assistant citations, mentions, and answer placement across multiple platforms, I’d prioritize tools that capture:

• exact prompts tested
• AI-generated answers (not just scores)
• cited URLs/sources
• brand and competitor placement
• share of voice / citation rate
• historical reporting
• agency-friendly exports or white labeling

The strongest options right now:

My shortlist by use case

For an agency selling AI visibility reports to clients

1. Peec AI
2. Citations.io
3. DeepSmith

For enterprise marketing teams

1. Profound
2. DeepSmith

For building your own client portal

• Use an API/data provider if available, then build dashboards in tools like Looker Studio, Tableau, or a custom React app.
• Store metrics such as:
  • Prompt
  • AI platform (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Perplexity)
  • Brand mentioned? (yes/no)
  • Citation URL
  • Citation position
  • Competitors cited
  • Sentiment
  • Date captured

For a client reporting product, I would lean toward Peec AI or Citations.io for agency workflows, and Profound for enterprise accounts. The market is still evolving, so I’d avoid tools that only provide a single “AI visibility score” without the underlying answer and citation evidence. www.trackcited.comcitations.io

If you mean tracking how a brand/client appears inside AI assistant answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.), including citations, mentions, rank/placement, competitors, and client-ready dashboards, you’re looking for an AI Visibility / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform, not a traditional SEO rank tracker.

The strongest options right now:

My shortlist by use case

For an agency managing many clients

1. Profound AI Visibility Platform
2. Peec AI
3. Otterly.ai

Look for:

• white-label dashboards
• scheduled PDF/email reports
• client workspaces
• API access
• historical tracking
• competitor share-of-voice

For proving “we got cited by AI”
Prioritize tools that store:

• exact prompt tested
• AI response snapshot
• citation URL/source
• citation position/order
• sentiment/context
• date history

Several platforms now expose this evidence layer rather than only a visibility score. www.geovector.ai

For SEO agencies adding GEO as a service
A practical stack is often:

• AI visibility tracker → citations/placements
• Google Analytics → AI referral traffic
• Looker Studio → custom client dashboards
• existing SEO suite → technical/content recommendations

One caution: AI answer placement is noisy because responses can change between runs, so good tools should measure repeated prompts over time rather than a single snapshot. arxiv.org

For a client dashboard product, I’d currently evaluate Profound, Peec AI, and GeoVector first; for a leaner agency offering, Peec AI or Otterly are likely easier starting points. www.reddit.com

If you mean tracking how a brand appears inside AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot), including citations, linked sources, share of voice, and client-ready dashboards, the category you want is usually called AI visibility tracking, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) monitoring, or AEO reporting. otterly.ai

My shortlist for agency/client dashboard use:

otterly.ai

My recommendation by use case

For an agency with white-label client dashboards:
→ OtterlyAI is probably the easiest starting point. It is specifically positioned around AI search monitoring, citations, competitor visibility, and reporting workflows. otterly.ai

For enterprise clients wanting board-level reporting:
→ Profound is worth evaluating. It is aimed more at large-scale analytics and competitive intelligence. otterly.aidiscoveredlabs.com

For strategists who need to answer “why did we lose visibility?”
→ Peec AI is attractive because prompt-level answer analysis is often more useful than a single visibility score. otterly.aidiscoveredlabs.com

Metrics I would require before choosing a platform

A good client dashboard should show:

• AI engine coverage:
  • ChatGPT
  • Gemini
  • Claude
  • Perplexity
  • Copilot
  • Google AI Overviews/AI Mode
• Brand mention rate
• Citation/source domains
• Citation share vs competitors
• Prompt-by-prompt wins/losses
• Exact AI answer snapshots
• Source URLs being cited
• Trend lines over time
• Export/API access for custom dashboards

One caution: AI answers are not deterministic, so a good tool should measure trends over many prompts rather than treating a single response as a definitive ranking. arxiv.org

If I were building a repeatable agency dashboard stack, I would likely use:

1. OtterlyAI or Profound → data collection
2. Looker Studio / Tableau / Power BI → client-facing dashboards
3. Ahrefs/Semrush → traditional SEO authority signals
4. A custom prompt library per client → the most important input quality layer

For most agencies today, I’d trial OtterlyAI + Peec AI + Profound on the same 20–50 prompts and keep the one whose citation data matches your clients’ real buying queries. discoveredlabs.com
