AthenaHQ

What it does

AthenaHQ is a web platform for marketing teams working on answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO). Teams use it to monitor how brands appear in AI-generated answers, analyze prompts and responses, compare competitors, and inspect citations and content gaps. The platform presents visibility and sentiment data alongside recommendations for content and on-page or off-page actions.

The documented workflow is to review brand visibility and citation sources across supported AI platforms, identify gaps or discrepancies, then use the recommendations and reporting to guide optimization. Its audience includes marketing and SEO/GEO teams, agencies, and enterprise organizations; the site also describes executive dashboards and an account-data-based Ask Athena assistant. Access is through the hosted app, with signup offered for a free plan and a demo route also available. The free plan includes 300 credits; the Starter plan lists 3,600 monthly credits, with one credit representing one AI response.

Coverage varies by plan: the free plan lists five platforms, while paid plans add others. Starter API access and extra credits are paid add-ons; Enterprise pricing and credit allocation are custom. The site names integrations including Shopify, Webflow, GA 4, Google Search Console and, for enterprise dashboards, Tableau, Power BI and Looker. It does not document a desktop, mobile, or self-hosted version.
