AthenaHQ is an answer-engine optimization (AEO/GEO) platform that tracks how a brand appears in AI-generated answers. Paid plans monitor 11 models: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral, with other models available on request. The free Essential plan covers a smaller set of five engines.

Usage is metered in credits, where one credit equals one AI response, rather than by a fixed prompt count. Topics and competitors are unlimited, and the platform reports prompt variations, sources and citations, competitor share of visibility, brand sentiment and estimated search volume for prompts on AI platforms. Integrations include Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Shopify and Webflow, and Enterprise adds BI dashboards for Tableau, Power BI and Looker.

Beyond monitoring, AthenaHQ positions itself around action: an AI agent proposes on-page and off-page changes, a content optimization agent drafts improvements, and a smart robots.txt and llms.txt tool manages AI crawler access. The credit model means costs scale with how many responses are checked, and API access and additional credits are billed on top of the Starter price. Enterprise adds SSO, audit logs, multi-region and multi-language support and a Knowledge Base for claim review.
