SEO (search engine optimisation) aims to rank your pages in a list of search results. AEO (answer engine optimisation) aims to make your page the direct answer to a question, and GEO (generative engine optimisation) aims to get your business named inside answers that AI tools write. In practice the three overlap, and you build AEO and GEO on top of SEO.

Profound and Peec AI are self-service software that tracks how AI tools mention your brand. Optimizer360.ai is a managed engagement, where a team measures, fixes and reports. If your team has the people to act on the data, software may fit better. If it does not, a managed service may.
Comparison
The main alternatives to Peec AI are other self-service AI visibility tools, such as OtterlyAI, Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar and Profound, and managed services such as Optimizer360.ai. Which fits depends on how many prompts you need to track and whether your team has the time to act on the results.
Comparison
The main alternatives to Profound are Peec AI, OtterlyAI, Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit and Ahrefs Brand Radar, which all publish prices, and managed services such as Optimizer360.ai. Profound itself lists a free trial and a custom Enterprise plan, so the question is usually whether you need an enterprise platform or something smaller.
