Namedra vs the alternatives
There are four ways to handle AI search visibility: do nothing, buy measurement software, extend an SEO retainer, or hire Namedra to measure and do the work. This page compares them on what you get, cost and the gap each leaves.
| Option | What you get | Best for | Typical cost | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Do nothing / wait | Whatever the engines decide | Category leaders already cited everywhere | €0 | Competitors who move first compound their citations |
| AI visibility software (Profound, Peec AI, Otterly) | Dashboards with prompt tracking and share of voice | Teams with a content engine that need measurement | €100 to €3,000+/month | Tells you the problem, does not fix it |
| Traditional SEO agency | Rankings, backlinks, on-page work | Companies whose pipeline is still mostly Google | €3,000 to €15,000/month | Rarely measures AI answers or works review sites and communities |
| Namedra | Monthly AI Visibility Score, raw answers, and the fixes shipped for you | B2B software with named competitors and a marketing lead who wants outcomes | €3,500 to €8,000/month | Single-category focus; not a full content agency |

Namedra vs doing it in-house
The tracker we use is a straightforward pipeline: prompts, API calls, analysis, report. A capable marketer can build a version in a week, and our checklist shows how to do it by hand. What takes time is the monthly work: 4 to 10 citation-earning assets, review-site operations and publisher outreach. Our retainer is priced below one marketing hire and includes the measurement.
When not to hire Namedra
If you have no named competitors, if your buyers do not research vendors online, or if your website cannot publish new pages within a month, start with the free audit and fix the basics first.
