Dashboards measure. We close the loop.
There are excellent AI visibility tools out there, and for the audiences they serve we would recommend several of them. Here is where each option fits, honestly, and where the Nimbletoad AI Visibility Engine is deliberately different: a replicable measurement model plus the hands that do the work.
What we do versus what they do
AI Visibility Engine | GEO agencies | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Local and regional businesses: healthcare practices, nonprofits, professional services, multi-location operators | Fortune 500 and enterprise brands with in-house teams | Marketing teams and SEO agencies that want to run their own dashboards | B2B, SaaS, and enterprise content programs |
| AI engines measured | Eight: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Copilot, Grok | Ten or more on enterprise plans; entry tiers track fewer | Three to seven, capped by plan; some engines cost extra | Varies with the tooling the agency licenses |
| What you actually see | A Battle Map: every buyer question scored on every engine, win or loss, with the engine’s verbatim answer as the receipt | Prompt dashboards, citation analytics, prompt volume data | Prompt lists, mention charts, source breakdowns | Typically a monthly deck summarizing activity |
| Wrong-claim defense | Every factual claim AI makes about you is audited monthly, corrections are written and published, and a weekly accuracy watch catches new claims between audits | Sentiment and citation tracking; corrections are your job | Sentiment scoring on higher plans; corrections are your job | Not a standard deliverable |
| Who does the work | Your choice: DIY from our diagnosis and content briefs, or done-with-you, where we write the content, you approve every word in the portal, and we publish | You operate the platform; content tools on higher tiers | You operate the tool and do all optimization yourself | Agency does the work on retainer, usually enterprise-priced |
| Month over month | The same question panel re-measured every month, so movement is real: share of voice, mention rate, recommended-first rate, wrong claims resolved, with a movement report tying published work to flipped cells | Dashboards update continuously; you build the narrative | Charts update; trend depends on your prompt hygiene | Reporting cadence and rigor vary by shop |
| Proof it mattered | Google Analytics joined to the visibility numbers: AI referral sessions and conversions reported next to the map, honestly labeled a floor, not a total | GA4 integration on enterprise plans | Rarely connected to outcomes | Revenue case studies at enterprise scale |
| Human review | A person reviews every question panel, every draft, and every correction before anything ships | Software, self-serve | Software, self-serve | Depends on the agency |
| Price posture | Priced for small and mid-size organizations, in tiers: measure only, measure and defend, or the full loop with content | Self-serve entry around $99 per month; enterprise by quote, commonly quoted in the thousands per month | Roughly $29 to $495 per month with seat and engine limits | Commonly $3,000 to $10,000 per month |
Competitor details come from public vendor sites and published reviews as of July 2026 and may change; verify current offerings with each vendor. Profound, Peec AI, and Otterly are strong products for the audiences they serve. This table exists so you can pick the right kind of help, including when that is not us.
The same seven steps, every month, for any business
Tools hand you numbers and leave. Agencies do work you cannot inspect. The engine is a loop you can watch turn: the Battle Map makes the measurement legible, the content plan makes the work visible, and next month's measurement shows whether it moved. The model is identical whether you are a four-location physical therapy practice or a community foundation, because the questions change and the loop does not.
Do it yourself, or do it with us
DIY: your hands, our map
You get the monthly measurement, the Battle Map with receipts, the diagnosis of every lost question, and content briefs that say exactly what to publish and why. Your team writes and ships. Next month's map grades the work. Best when you already have a writer and want the targeting.
Done with you: we write, you approve
Everything in DIY, plus we draft the content and the wrong-claim corrections. Nothing publishes without your approval in the portal, where every unverified fact is a placeholder only you can resolve. We publish, then the next measurement shows what changed. Engines decide what they cite, so we never promise placement; we publish, re-measure, and show the movement either way.
Start where every engagement starts: a measurement
One audit shows you the map: which buyer questions you win, which a competitor owns, and what the engines get wrong about you today.
