// Authority vs Peec AI

Peec AI tells you the score. Authority moves it.

Peec is a competent monitoring tool — strong dashboards, fair entry pricing. But monitoring is the easy part. The hard part is what to do about it. Authority is the team that does it.

// When Peec AI wins

Pick Peec AI if you already ship content every week.

Peec AI is the right call if your team already has a content engine, technical SEO depth, and someone whose job it is to interpret AI visibility data and translate it into shipped fixes. Their dashboard is good. Their pricing is reasonable. They are not trying to be a service, and that's a feature, not a bug.

// When Authority wins

Pick Authority if "measure → ship → re-measure" is the bottleneck.

Most B2B SaaS at $1–10M ARR don't have a dedicated content team or a marketer who can absorb GEO on top of their existing scope. The tracking tool delivers a dashboard that nobody acts on. Authority closes the loop: we run the prompts, we ship the fixes, we earn the surface mentions, we re-measure the score, we publish the trend in the public Index. You see results in your category page within weeks.

// FAQ

Common questions.

Is Peec AI a competitor of Authority?
Peec AI is a tracking dashboard for AI search visibility. Authority is a productized service that does the work to improve AI search visibility. Some Authority clients use Peec (or Profound, or AthenaHQ) alongside us — the tools and the service do different jobs.
Can I use Peec AI plus do my own GEO work?
Yes, and many do. Peec gives you the data; you decide the plan and ship the fixes. The catch is the catch with any DIY play: most teams measure for a month, then go back to firefighting because there's no obvious next step. Authority's audit is the next step in document form.
Why would I pick Authority over a tracking tool?
If you have a marketing team with bandwidth and a content engine, a tracking tool plus your team is the right call. If you're a solo marketer, founder-led, or under-resourced — and AI search visibility is a category-shaping priority — Authority closes the gap by handling the execution and the measurement.
Do you offer a free version?
Yes. The Shortlist Score at authority.as/score returns your AI visibility number across our prompt set in 90 seconds. No credit card. No call required. Most clients run it before they pay for anything.
