How to read this: Verified confirmed shipped on the vendor's current product pages/press releases (15 Jul 2026) — it does not audit how well it works · Vendor claim the vendor states it; effectiveness not independently validated · Partial exists with material limitations · Not evidenced no reliable public evidence found · Planned on our roadmap — we'd rather tell you than pretend. Albert.ai was excluded: no publicly verifiable capability claims survived our review. GEO-only tools (HubSpot AEO, Semrush) sell visibility dashboards from $50–99/mo — neither runs your ads or executes fixes. Researched 15 July 2026 · multi-source review · capabilities change quarterly. Spotted an error? Report a correction and we'll fix it.
