Free
- Asking ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity yourself.
- Free one-off checks from some tool vendors.
Good for a snapshot. Not for tracking.
Software tools
AI visibility tools that track prompts across assistants typically range from about $25 to several hundred dollars a month. Most are built for brands and SaaS companies rather than local venues, and most leave the fixing to you.
Done-for-you services
Agencies and specialists that track and also make the fixes. Pricing varies widely; general SEO agencies often charge several hundred to a few thousand a month.

For monthly billing, the current November offer is Track £49, Grow £149 and Scale £399 per month for the first six paid months, then £98, £298 and £798 respectively. Annual billing is a separate commitment: Track £468, Grow £1,428 and Scale £3,828 paid upfront for 12 months. Prices include applicable tax. Check the current offer, trial and renewal terms before subscribing.
Track includes weekly sampled answers, competitor and citation evidence and next steps for one venue. Grow adds two article drafts each month; Scale adds four. WordPress publishing needs a supported connection. Optional model add-ons cost extra, and hotel agent booking audits are separately priced.
Compare providers using the same billing period and scope. Article counts, check frequency and engine coverage vary. See the dated Honeyb comparison for one example. Neither a cheap plan nor a large article allowance guarantees rankings, AI recommendations or bookings.
