Tracking vs diagnostics

Otterly's job is to surface, in dashboards, how often your brand is cited and how that compares to competitors across the prompts you care about. It's a measurement instrument — you read the data and decide what to do.

AI CiteRank's job is to do the deciding. You point it at a page; it returns a score plus three ranked fixes. The fixes are concrete: add this schema, expand this section, tighten this claim. Apply, re-scan, see the lift.

When to pick Otterly instead

Pick Otterly if your job is to defend brand share-of-voice, you have a defined set of strategic prompts to monitor, and you want competitive benchmarking visible to a leadership team.

When to pick AI CiteRank

Pick AI CiteRank if you own pages and want to be told what to change. You'll get a 0–100 score, a confidence band ("rarely / sometimes / frequently cited"), and three ranked fixes — every time.
