# Peakmark Platform vs. Managed Service: Choose Your Path

> Compare Peakmark's self-serve tracking platform and full-service GEO agency to find the right option for your team's goals and resources.

Peakmark offers two ways to improve your brand's visibility in AI-generated answers, and they are built for genuinely different situations. The self-serve platform gives your team full daily visibility into what AI systems say about your brand, complete with competitor data and a ranked action plan — then leaves execution in your hands. The managed service goes further: Peakmark's team takes ownership of the strategy and does every piece of work required to move your visibility score, reporting back weekly with proof. Both paths start from the same free check, and plenty of customers begin on the platform before handing execution over once they see the full scope of what needs to be done.

## Compare the options

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Self-Serve Platform">
    The platform is a daily intelligence and prioritisation tool. It tells you exactly what AI systems are saying about your brand right now, who is winning in your category, and what to fix first — giving your team everything needed to execute a GEO strategy in-house.

    **What's included:**

    * **Daily AI visibility tracking** — your brand score updated every day across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and more
    * **Competitor share of voice** — see which competitors AI recommends instead of you, across every relevant prompt in your category
    * **Prompt-level evidence** — click any metric and read the exact AI responses behind it; no black boxes
    * **Sources and citations dashboard** — see which pages AI reads before it answers, so you know which content investments pay off
    * **Ranked action plan** — a prioritised list of improvements your team can begin shipping immediately

    **Best for:** marketing, content, or growth teams with the capacity to execute GEO work themselves and who want reliable daily data to guide and measure that work.

    <Tip>
      The platform is especially valuable if you want to maintain full ownership of strategy and content — and use Peakmark's data to validate what is working.

  <Tab title="Managed Service">
    The managed service is a full-execution GEO engagement. Peakmark's team handles every channel AI looks at before it answers — your site, earned media, communities, reviews, and technical infrastructure — and delivers weekly reports with the AI responses to prove it.

    **What's included:**

    Everything in the platform, plus:

    * **Strategy & audit** — a deep visibility baseline across every major AI engine, a citation-source map for your category, and a 90-day roadmap ranked by impact; you approve it before anything ships
    * **Content execution** — answer-first rewrites of your key pages, plus new comparison, FAQ, and data pages built to be cited by AI models
    * **Reddit & communities** — authentic, useful presence in the subreddits and communities AI reads most; no bots, no bought accounts, no astroturfing
    * **Digital PR & citations** — placements in the listicles, expert roundups, and press that AI already quotes in your category; the 85.5% of AI citations that come from earned media
    * **Review platforms** — profiles on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and category-specific review sites that are claimed, complete, and actively maintained
    * **Technical GEO** — crawlability audit and fixes for every AI bot, schema and entity markup, llms.txt, and rendering fixes so models can actually read you
    * **Weekly proof reports** — visibility score, share of voice, and citations won, with the exact AI responses behind every number; strategy reviews every quarter

    **Best for:** teams that want measurable outcomes without taking on the workload — or that have tried the platform and want Peakmark to own execution.

    <Warning>
      Peakmark onboards a limited number of managed brands each month to maintain execution quality. Book a strategy call early if you are considering the managed service.

## How to decide

**Choose the platform if** your team has the time and skills to execute GEO work — writers who can restructure content, someone who can manage community presence, a developer who can handle technical fixes. The platform will tell you exactly what to do and prove whether it worked.

**Choose the managed service if** you want the outcome without the workload, you do not have dedicated GEO capacity in-house, or you want the team that built the measurement tool to be the one executing the strategy. The managed service is also the faster path for brands that need to move quickly in a competitive category.

**Not sure yet?** Run the [free check](/free-check) first. The report will show you how much ground there is to make up — and that usually makes the decision clear.
