Last updated: November 2026
The best AI visibility tool for a B2B company tracks the shortlist questions buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI before they ever talk to sales. TrendlyAI ($19/mo) suits lean teams that want fixes drafted. Peec AI, SE Visible and Otterly.AI suit teams that need daily data, seats and APIs. Profound suits enterprises with security reviews.
Key takeaways๐
- B2B buyers use AI assistants to build vendor shortlists and compare options long before they fill in a form. If you are not named, you may never know you lost the deal.
-
B2B prompt lists are wider than consumer ones: several buyer roles, several products, several industries and often several countries.
-
Beyond price, B2B teams usually care about seats, API access, reporting connectors and security (SSO, SOC 2). These features vary a lot by plan.
-
As of October 2026, SE Visible and LLMrefs include unlimited seats and API access on their entry plans, and Profound lists SSO/SAML and SOC 2 on Enterprise.

Why does AI visibility matter for B2B companies?๐
AI visibility matters for B2B companies because buyers now use assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity to research vendors, and the shortlist an assistant gives is often the shortlist the buyer starts with. A procurement lead might ask "best SOC 2 compliant expense software for a 200-person company," or an operations manager might ask "which freight forecasting tools work with SAP?" Whoever is named gets the first look.
Three things make B2B different:
-
Long, quiet research. Buyers compare options for weeks, and the AI conversation leaves no trace in your CRM.
-
Many people per deal. A finance lead, an IT lead and an end user ask different questions and may hear different shortlists.
-
Specific requirements. Questions name integrations, compliance standards, company size and industry. A generic "best CRM" prompt misses most real demand.
Our guide to AI search visibility for B2B SaaS covers the content side. This post is about choosing the tool that measures it.
What should a B2B team look for in an AI visibility tool?๐
A B2B team should look for a tool that can track a wide, specific prompt list against named competitors, and that fits how the team already reports and buys software.
- Prompts per brand or product. Enough to cover each buyer role and product line.
-
Competitor tracking. At least the three to five vendors you meet most often in deals.
-
Engines. Check whether Gemini, Copilot or Google AI Mode are included or extra, especially if your buyers work in Microsoft or Google tools.
-
Sources. Which review sites, partner directories and forums the engines cite. These show you where to act.
-
Seats, API and connectors. Whether marketing and sales can all log in, and whether data can reach your dashboards.
-
Security and procurement. Your own IT team may require SSO or SOC 2 from any vendor you buy.

1. TrendlyAI: for lean B2B teams that need the fix, not just the report๐
We build TrendlyAI, so weigh that. TrendlyAI shows whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews name your company or your competitors when buyers ask. It flags gaps where a competitor is recommended and you are not, and drafts the fix: a comparison page, an FAQ page with schema, a Reddit answer, an llms.txt file, a best-of list or a product page rewrite. Later scans detect when you win a citation. White-label PDF reports and share links make it easy to send results to a sales lead or the leadership team.
For B2B, Pro is usually the better fit: $49/mo ($39/mo yearly) for 3 brands, 25 prompts each, 5 competitors per brand and unlimited fix drafts, with extra brands at $15/mo. You can use the brand slots for separate product lines. Solo is $19/mo for 1 brand and 25 prompts.
The weak points matter more for B2B. Twenty-five prompts per brand is enough for one product and its main buyer roles, but not for a large portfolio. It tracks only 4 engines: no Gemini, Grok, Copilot or Google AI Mode, which matters if your buyers work inside Microsoft or Google tools. It scans weekly with 1 sample per prompt per engine. It has no prompt-volume data, its pricing page does not list an API, SSO or team seats, and it is a young product with few public reviews and a small team. TrendlyAI tracks its own domain, and I publish our own score, which is low. There is a 7-day free trial with no credit card, and no free plan.
2. Peec AI: for B2B marketing teams that care about how they are described๐
Peec AI's Starter plan is $95/mo for 50 prompts and 1 project with daily tracking of visibility, position, sentiment and share of voice, and unlimited team users on every plan. Two features stand out for B2B. "Fact-checked prompts" check AI answers against facts you set (5 on Starter, 10 on Pro, 25 on Advanced), which helps when an assistant gets your pricing or compliance status wrong. "Objections," from Pro ($245/mo), groups the recurring arguments AI raises against your brand and traces them to the pages behind them, which is useful input for sales enablement. API access starts on Pro and SSO on Enterprise. Self-serve plans run 3 active models at a time. See our Peec AI alternative post.
3. SE Visible: for teams that want everything in their own dashboards๐
SE Visible, from SE Ranking, includes unlimited seats, unlimited competitors, API and MCP access and a Data Studio connector on every plan, which suits B2B teams that report in their own dashboards. Basic is $89/mo ($71 yearly) for 75 prompts and 5 projects, with daily tracking on ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot. Core is $189/mo ($151 yearly) for 200 prompts and 10 projects. It does not list Perplexity, and Claude is marked as coming soon. There is a 10-day free trial.
4. Otterly.AI: for daily tracking with team access๐
Otterly.AI includes unlimited team members and sentiment analysis on every plan. Lite ($29/mo) has only 15 prompts, which is thin for most B2B companies; Standard ($189/mo, $160 yearly) gives 100 prompts plus API and MCP access. It tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot daily, and Claude, Google AI Mode and Gemini are paid add-ons. Our Otterly alternative post has more.
5. LLMrefs: for wide prompt lists across many engines๐
LLMrefs has one $79/mo plan with 500 prompts, unlimited projects and unlimited team members, plus API access and CSV export. It covers many engines, including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Copilot, with updates at least weekly and geo-targeting by country. You build fixes yourself.
6. Rank Prompt: for six engines and API access from day one๐
Rank Prompt covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode/AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini and Grok on every plan, and lists API and MCP access even on its free plan. Starter is $49/mo ($39 yearly) for 150 credits, but it is owner-only; Pro is $89/mo ($71 yearly) for 500 credits and 2 team seats. One prompt on four to six engines costs 2 credits, so plan your usage. See our Rank Prompt alternatives post.
7. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit: if your SEO team already runs on Semrush๐
Semrush's help page lists the toolkit at $99/mo for 1 domain and 25 prompts, with daily prompt tracking, weekly Brand Performance reports on share of voice and sentiment, 50 more prompts for $60/mo and extra domains at $99 each. It makes sense when your team already does keyword research in Semrush.
8. Profound: for enterprises with security and procurement requirements๐
Profound has no public paid price. Its custom Enterprise plan tracks up to 9 engines and lists SSO/SAML, SOC 2 compliance, API access, CSV and JSON exports and a Prompt Volumes feature. A free trial runs 50 prompts daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. It fits large B2B companies whose IT team must approve every vendor. See our Profound alternative post.
How should a B2B company build its prompt list?๐
A B2B company should build its prompt list from the questions sales hears on discovery calls, sorted by buyer role. A good first list of 25 prompts for one product looks like this:
- Category shortlist (8 to 10). Category plus a buyer detail: company size, industry, region or a must-have feature. "Best contract management software for mid-size manufacturers."
-
Vendor comparisons (5 to 6). You against the two or three competitors you meet most in deals, plus your top two rivals against each other.
-
Alternatives (4 to 5). "Alternatives to [market leader]" and "cheaper alternatives to [market leader]."
-
Requirement prompts (4 to 5). Integrations, compliance and deployment: "HR software that integrates with Workday," "SOC 2 compliant password manager for teams."
Then track the competitors you actually lose to. The useful report is the list of prompts where they are named and you are not. Our guide to competitor AI visibility analysis explains how to read it, and our guide to measuring AI search traffic in GA4 shows how to connect visibility to visits.
What usually closes a B2B AI visibility gap?๐
A B2B AI visibility gap usually closes when the sources the engine trusts start naming you, accurately. The fixes that come up most for B2B:
- Honest comparison pages with a table and real tradeoffs.
-
Requirement pages for each integration, compliance standard and industry you serve.
-
FAQ pages with schema for pricing, security and implementation questions. See our guide to schema markup for AI citations.
-
Third-party presence on review sites, partner directories and relevant community threads.
Give each fix a few weeks and several scans before you judge it, since AI answers vary between runs. All our guides live on the GEO hub. Before you buy any tool, run the free TrendlyAI check: no signup, about 30 seconds, 5 prompts on ChatGPT and Perplexity.
