    Comparison

    Optimly vs. Gumshoe

    Gumshoe shows you the diagnosis. Optimly gives you the treatment plan — and the treatment.

    Audit vs. Strategy

    Gumshoe (Audit Tool)

    • Audits AI brand presence — shows how AI describes you
    • Identifies gaps and problems
    • Snapshot of current AI visibility
    • Limitation: Diagnosis only, no treatment

    Optimly (Strategy + Execution)

    • Starts with strategy: what narrative should AI learn?
    • Defines ground truth, not just gaps
    • Deploys fixes at the source level
    • Tracks that fixes hold through model updates

    Diagnosis vs. Cure

    Brand audits are step 1. But most teams get stuck after the audit — they know what's wrong but don't know what to do about it.

    Optimly's Define → Detect → Deploy framework closes the loop: define what's true, detect what AI gets wrong, deploy the fix at the source level.

    Proof: Hal9 Results

    Hal9 achieved 1,600% AI-referred traffic growth in 60 days — not from knowing they had a problem, but from having a systematic fix deployed against the sources causing misrepresentation.
