The category is young and moving fast, and most comparison posts are thinly-veiled ads. This one leads with the criteria that decide whether a tool is actually useful, so you can evaluate any option — including ours — on the same honest lens. Verify current features and pricing on each vendor's own site before you buy.
What to look for
Judge any tool — including ours — on the same lens.
01
Real model answers, not estimates
The whole point is to know what the AI actually says to a buyer. Some tools sample or model it; you want the real answer.
Aurvikon: Reads the actual answers from live engines on every scan — no mock data, no estimates.
02
Honest, category-only ranking
A tool that counts branded or irrelevant mentions can hand you a flattering #1 you can't act on.
Aurvikon: Ranks only on genuine category prompts and never invents a #1 — even when the truth is uncomfortable.
03
Citation & source tracking
Getting cited depends on the sources the model trusts. If a tool can't show them, it can't show you how to get in.
Aurvikon: Shows which domains AI cites in your category and which of your own pages get cited back, with a source-gap plan.
04
Recommendations that ship
A score without a prioritised, concrete plan is just anxiety. You need fixes your team can act on.
Aurvikon: Impact-ranked, evidence-backed fixes — plus JSON-LD schema generated from your real pages, not a template.
05
Before / after proof
You have to prove the work moved the number — to leadership, or to a client renewing a retainer.
Aurvikon: Every scan is a checkpoint, so you can show new citations, better position and share-of-voice lift after you ship.
06
Price & agency support
Enterprise pricing and single-brand tools rule out a lot of teams and every agency running many clients.
Aurvikon: Transparent pricing from a free brand check; multi-client workspaces and white-label reports built in.

Questions, answered honestly
What is an AI visibility (GEO) tool?
It measures whether — and how — AI answer engines mention and cite your brand for the questions your buyers ask, then helps you improve that. It's the answer-engine equivalent of a rank tracker for Google.
How do I evaluate these tools fairly?
Use the criteria above: real answers vs estimates, honest ranking, citation/source tracking, shippable recommendations, before/after proof, and price/agency support. Run a free trial or check on each and compare on your own category.
Is there a free way to start?
Aurvikon offers a free brand check so you can see your cross-engine visibility before committing. Several tools offer trials — always test on your real prompts.
Which one is the 'best'?
There's no single best — it depends on your needs and budget. Enterprises, single brands and agencies weight the criteria differently. We built Aurvikon for teams that value honest data, before/after proof and agency-friendly pricing.
