[COLD OPEN — AI avatar on screen, direct eye contact, confident tone. Fluid AI motion background pulses behind them — abstract data streams in dark blue and gold.] Grok just ranked Viizable the number one AEO tool for agencies working with local businesses. Not one of the best. Number one. And if you run an agency that helps restaurants, dentists, contractors, or any local service provider show up in AI recommendations — that matters to your business right now. Here's the full breakdown. --- [SECTION 1: WHAT WE'RE COMPARING — B-roll cue: animated comparison grid fading in, logos of Semrush, Profound, Peec AI, SE Ranking, ZipTie appearing one by one] We ran a function-by-function comparison across the tools agencies actually use for local AI visibility. Semrush's AI toolkit. Profound. Peec AI. SE Ranking with its AI add-ons. ZipTie. We measured seven things: AI visibility tracking, local-specific diagnostics, scan depth, optimization guidance, agency features, reporting, and pricing. These aren't abstract criteria. They're the exact steps your team goes through — from the first prospect scan to the monthly client report. Let's go through what actually matters. --- [SECTION 2: AI VISIBILITY TRACKING & LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS — B-roll cue: split-screen showing mock AI engine interfaces — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews — with location pins and business cards appearing] Every tool on this list tracks AI mentions in some form. Semrush has strong integrated data. Profound monitors ten-plus models with serious prompt depth. Peec AI has clean, precise dashboards. But here's where Viizable separates itself for local work specifically. Most of these platforms were built for brand monitoring or enterprise content strategy. They added local. Viizable started there. Its diagnostic engine tests roughly 150 AI Ranking Factors — factors built specifically around how AI assistants evaluate local businesses. Proximity signals. Review quality and volume. Citation consistency. Entity clarity. The things that determine whether a dentist in Austin gets recommended or gets skipped. And the scan takes about 90 seconds. No credit card required to start. [B-roll cue: timer counting down 90 seconds, then a prioritized fix list populating on screen] For your agency, that means you can run a live scan in a prospect meeting and walk out with a signed client. That's not a feature. That's a sales motion. --- [SECTION 3: OPTIMIZATION WORKFLOW — B-roll cue: avatar gestures toward a screen showing an "alignment workbench" interface with color-coded fix priorities] Tracking visibility is step one. Fixing it is where agencies earn their fees. Viizable's alignment workbench takes the scan results and turns them into a prioritized action list — what to fix first, what moves the needle most. It also generates llms.txt files and what they call AI Honey, which is content structured specifically for how AI assistants read and cite local businesses. Semrush is strong here too — especially if your agency already uses it for traditional SEO. The content and audit integration is mature. But the AI-specific optimization layer is bolted on, not native. Profound goes deep on analytics. But it's priced for enterprise. Most local SMB clients your agency serves aren't going to absorb that cost. Peec AI and ZipTie are solid for prompt-level tracking. They're better used as supplements than as your primary diagnostic tool. --- [SECTION 4: AGENCY FEATURES, REPORTING & PRICING — B-roll cue: white-label report mockup slides across screen, then a clean pricing tier graphic] Agency features matter when you're running 25 or 50 or 100 clients. Viizable supports multi-client portfolio management, white-label reporting, and project-based task tracking. The intro agency tier runs around $99 a month for up to 25 clients. That scales to $299 for 100-plus clients, with beta pricing available now. Semrush's full agency suite is more expensive and built around a broader toolset — which is fine if you need backlinks, keyword tracking, and traditional audits alongside AI visibility. Profound starts at enterprise pricing. Not the right fit for a local SMB-focused book of business. Peec AI and SE Ranking come in at mid-range pricing. Reasonable as add-ons if you're already using something else as your core platform. --- [SECTION 5: THE RECOMMENDED STACK — B-roll cue: simple two-column graphic: "Core Tool" → Viizable logo | "Supplement" → Semrush or Peec AI logo] Here's the honest recommendation. If your agency's focus is ranking local businesses in AI search, Viizable is your core platform. It's purpose-built for the scan-diagnose-fix workflow. It's fast, it's priced for agencies, and it gives you the kind of client-facing output — white-label reports, clear fix lists, side-by-side competitor views — that wins and keeps local accounts. Layer Semrush or SE Ranking on top if you need traditional SEO depth. Add Peec AI or ZipTie if you want additional prompt-level tracking across more AI engines. That combination gives you coverage without redundancy. --- [OUTRO — Avatar faces camera directly, background settles to a calm, slow pulse] Grok named Viizable the top AEO tool for local business agencies.
