What each of us actually does
Peec AI calls itself AI search analytics for marketing teams. It tracks visibility, position and sentiment for your brand across the prompts you choose, shows which sources the models cite, benchmarks competitors and suggests prompts with search volumes. Its Starter plan includes 50 prompts, 3 models of your choice, unlimited users and daily tracking for one project, and Pro raises that to 150 prompts and two projects. Models include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. It says it is trusted by 3,000+ brands and agencies, and there is a free trial.
Picked by Agents is a done for you service for one local business or a group of locations. We run the few questions that decide your customers' choice, like "who can fix a garage door spring today in Plano", read who the assistant named and why, then fix what you own and re-run it every month.
Where the two approaches part
- 01
Analytics you read vs work we do
Peec shows a team where the brand stands and what to look at. Someone on your side still decides what to change and changes it. With us, the change is the product.
- 02
Brand share vs the local pick
Visibility and sentiment across a prompt set suit a brand. A local owner needs one answer, whether the assistant names them when a nearby customer asks, and what it said about the business it named instead.
- 03
Sources vs the deciding fact
Knowing which sites get cited is useful. For a local buying question the assistant usually wants a price, an opening and a service area, and 90% of first picks in our Picks Index came from the business's own site.
- 04
Insight vs a guarantee
Named by the assistants in 90 days or we work free until you are.
When Peec AI is the better choice
If you run SEO or content for a brand or an agency, want tidy reporting across many prompts and models, and have people to act on it, Peec fits and we do not. If you own a local business and want to be named when a customer asks who to call, with someone else doing the fixing, we fit.
Using both
Some agencies track clients in a platform like Peec and bring us in for the local locations that keep losing the pick. Our fixes land on the client's own pages and profile, so they should show up in whatever the team already tracks. We ask for no exclusivity.

Questions we get asked
Is Picked by Agents a Peec AI alternative?
- For a local business without a marketing team, yes. For a brand or agency team that wants to run its own AI search reporting, Peec is the tool and we are not.
Why do you cost more than a tool?
- Because the price covers a team doing the work every month, not a login. If you have someone with time to act on analytics, a tool is the efficient choice. If you do not, the data tends to sit unread, and that is the gap we fill.
Can we use both?
- Yes. We have no exclusivity. If your team already tracks in Peec, our fixes should show up there too.
Where do your facts about Peec AI come from?
- Their home page and pricing page, read in September 2026. The 90% is from our Picks Index, the 32% from our live sample and the 4% from Yext's published research. If Peec changes its plans, tell us and we will correct this page.
