AthenaHQ

Verified Jul 2026·AEO Platforms·from $295/mo·8 engines

AthenaHQ monitors brand visibility, citation sources, sentiment, and competitor share of voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Grok, and layers on a 'Brand Integrity' module that flags AI hallucinations and inaccurate claims about the brand for review. Content Agents draft and refresh on-brand content and the platform can publish GEO-optimized blogs directly to a connected Shopify store, attributing the resulting traffic and revenue back to AI Search via GA4 and Search Console integrations. Enterprise plans add a dynamically-managed robots.txt/llms.txt, an 'Athena Citation Engine' that scores content citability, SSO, RBAC, and BI-tool (Tableau/Power BI/Looker) support. Sold on a free Essential tier, a $295/mo Starter, and custom Enterprise/Agency plans, and explicitly positioned against Profound, Peec AI, Scrunch AI, Semrush, and Ahrefs.

Not published is not a no.Yes means it is on their site. Doesn't means we read a page that would list it and it wasn't there. A blank in their docs is a gap in ours — not a claim about their product.

Same research depth. One real difference on each row.

They name Profound, Peec AI, Scrunch AI, Semrush and Ahrefs as peers on their own site.
