How Oftheard compares, for a business in India

Most tools measure either search or the AI answers, and stop at a number. Oftheard runs the campaign that changes both, and measures it from where your customers are.

The ways a business gets this done

Being found on Google and named in AI answers takes the same few things: a site the crawlers can read, pages that answer what buyers search, other sites that mention you, and a measurement that says whether any of it worked. These are the usual ways to get them.

An SEO suiteSemrush, Ahrefs, SE Ranking: keyword and backlink databases, rank tracking and site audits for any market, with AI tracking added in some. Built for people who do the work themselves.
An AI visibility trackerProfound, Otterly, Peec and others: what the AI assistants say about a brand across many prompts, mostly priced in dollars for teams outside India. They measure; the work is yours.
An agencyPeople who do the work: pages, listings, links and reviews, with a report. Many agencies measure with a tool; an Oftheard agency account holds up to 50 clients.
Google’s own free toolsSearch Console shows the searches your site appears for and its clicks, free. It says nothing about what an AI assistant tells a buyer.
Asking the assistants yourselfFree, and worth doing once. One answer, from one place, on one day, with no record of what the assistant read or how it changes next week.
OftheardA twelve-week campaign for one business: the site fixed, a page for each search worth winning, written from your confirmed facts and approved by a person, and Google, Bing and five AI assistants measured every week.

Questions

Is Oftheard an alternative to the enterprise AI visibility platforms?

Yes, for a business that wants the work done as well as measured, in India or elsewhere. Oftheard asks five AI assistants every week, and Claude every other week on Growth, as a buyer in the business’s own country; it measures Google and Bing on the same searches; and it does the work as well: the site fixes, and a page drafted for each search worth winning. It is paid in rupees, once per twelve weeks. The enterprise platforms are built for large marketing teams: more assistants and countries on their top plans, seats and share-of-voice reports, priced in dollars.

Does Oftheard replace Semrush or Ahrefs?

For many small businesses, yes: the searches, the Google and Bing ranks, the site check and the pages are all in the campaign. It does not have a worldwide keyword or backlink database, and it is not built for auditing a site of many thousands of pages. Teams that live in those tools can keep them and use Oftheard for the AI answers and the pages.

How is Oftheard different from an SEO agency?

An agency is people; Oftheard is software that runs the campaign. Many agencies use it for their clients: an agency account holds up to 50, puts the agency’s name and logo on their reports, and asks each owner to agree by a code sent to their business email. The agency’s people still decide, approve and do what software cannot, such as earning reviews, links and listings.

Why not just ask ChatGPT myself?

Because one answer is not a measurement. The same question gives a different list of names an hour later, and you keep no record of what the assistant read. Asking yourself is free and worth doing once. Measuring means the same questions on several assistants every week, from where your buyers are, each answer kept with its sources, and the comparison with the start.

Which AI assistants does Oftheard cover?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode every week, and Claude every other week on Growth. The ChatGPT and Gemini apps are read as a buyer sees them. Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek are not asked; Bing, which Copilot answers from, is measured every week.

Which should a business in India choose?

Start with the free site check, whichever tool you pick: if the AI crawlers cannot read your site, no tool will see you named. If you want the pages written and the change measured in Google and the AI answers for one business, Oftheard. If you need many countries and a share-of-voice report for a board, an enterprise platform.
