ClearVisibility vs. Otterly.ai
ClearVisibility is a done-for-you AEO/GEO consultancy that diagnoses, installs, and stewards the AI visibility infrastructure a brand needs to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Otterly.ai is a self-serve AI search visibility tracker — a SaaS tool for teams that want to monitor citations and share of voice themselves. The two solve different halves of the problem: measurement versus installation.

FAQ
Does ClearVisibility replace an AI search tracker like Otterly.ai?+
No. A tracker gives you continuous visibility into which prompts cite you today. ClearVisibility engineers the reasons a model will cite you tomorrow: entity clarity, retrieval-readiness, topical authority, and structured evidence. Many clients keep a tracker subscription alongside a ClearVisibility installation.
Can I start with a tracker and hire a consultancy later?+
Yes, and many do. A tracker surfaces the citation gap; ClearVisibility closes it. If you already run a tracker, we import that data as an additional input to the ClearVisibility Score™.
What if I only need measurement?+
If your in-house team can install schema, rewrite content, and ship structured evidence on its own, a self-serve tracker may be sufficient. If your team cannot — or you want a single accountable partner for the outcome — a consultancy engagement is the better fit.
How is ROI measured differently?+
Trackers report leading metrics: mentions, share of voice, and prompt coverage. ClearVisibility ties those metrics to installed changes and to revenue-stage assets, so the ROI conversation is about pipeline outcomes, not dashboard trend lines.
