For a DTC team that wants a weekly to-do, the job is simple: track buyer prompts on Perplexity, ChatGPT and Gemini, then publish answer pages for the gaps. Pivot Labs is built for that loop at $29/mo. Enterprise teams may look at Profound; HubSpot customers at HubSpot AEO; very small brands can start with manual checks.
