The Problem
Enterprise AEO monitoring tools (Profound, Peec, Otterly) charge $30-100+/month for what is fundamentally querying Google and parsing AI Overview results. Small brands and solo operators need the same data at a fraction of the cost.
How Scavio Helps
- Monitor 100 keywords daily for under $15/month
- Track which domains get cited in AI Overviews
- Detect when competitors enter or exit AI Overview citations
- AI Overview data included in standard search query at no extra cost
- Weekly trend reports from daily monitoring data

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "A SaaS startup monitors 50 keywords daily to track AI Overview citations. 50 queries/day x $0.005 = $0.25/day ($7.50/month). The system detects a competitor started appearing in AI Overviews for 3 target keywords last week. The startup creates answer-first content targeting those keywords. Total monitoring cost: $7.50/month vs $99/month for Otterly.":
