Head to head, fairly

Where Otterly is strong

  1. An outstanding price — monitoring that starts around $29/mo.
  2. Daily prompt checks so you see movement quickly.
  3. Multi-country coverage for tracking across regions.
  4. Mature Looker Studio and CSV exports for your own reporting.

Where Bromley is different

  1. A specialist you manage, not a tool you operate.
  2. Captured evidence on each result; connected data when available.
  3. Approval rules you control — per-fix sign-off by default.
  4. Run-over-run citation gains are timestamped with approved-fix context — correlation, not causation.
  5. Optional weekly Slack status and read-only MCP; approvals and publishing stay in the signed-in app.
The honest difference

Otterly is the best cheap monitoring in the category, and that's not a backhanded compliment — daily checks, multi-country, clean exports, about $29/mo. If all you need is to watch, buy it. But monitoring is the start of the job, not the job. Bromley is the role that does what the monitoring finds: it takes the gap Otterly would show you, attaches captured evidence and connected data when available, drafts a specific fix, and follows your approval rules. The next scheduled audit reports movement or no movement; it does not credit one fix as the cause. Otterly shows the signal; Bromley acts on it. One is a $29 gauge; the other is a $499 specialist — and they're not really the same purchase.

Evidence, not borrowed logos

See the captured result and what changed next.

Bromley keeps the captured AI answer behind each result. Later audits timestamp run-over-run citation gains alongside the number of fixes approved in between — evidence of sequence, not proof that any one fix caused the gain.

The honest verdict

Pick Otterly if you want the best cheap monitoring — daily checks, multi-country, clean exports — and you (or your team) will do the acting yourselves. Bromley is for teams who want the acting done: it takes what the monitoring finds and acts on the gap, with captured evidence and approval rules you control. Different jobs, different prices.

How a hire works

A specialist, not a subscription.

01

It learns the job

Point it at your domain. It captures site and AI-answer evidence, then adds Search Console or GA4 when connected.

02

It hands you finished work

Not "add schema" — the schema. The exact fix, drafted and ready to ship.

03

You set the approval rules

Approve, edit, or dismiss by default; explicitly grant eligible work “Owns it” only if you choose.

04

It reports the result

Before/after in captured evidence — and when nothing moved or could not be measured, it says so.
