dotmap vs AI visibility trackers
AI visibility trackers measure whether AI answers mention you; dotmap shows which of your pages are not ready to be quoted, and what to change. Tools such as Profound, Peec AI and Otterly.AI send a set of prompts to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other engines and record mentions and citations over time, priced mostly by the number of prompts. They do not read your pages. Use dotmap to fix pages and a tracker to watch the result.
