Candidates share the baseline category or are previously researched peers. Requirements, preserved strengths, explicit trade-offs and research coverage decide the order; paid tier does not.

## Shortlist

### 1. AthenaHQ

AEO/GEO platform that tracks brand visibility across AI answer engines and prescribes fixes.

**Research coverage:** 31/32 criteria

**Where it improves on GetCito:**
- [Generates content: yes — Action Center drafts assets from prioritised visibility gaps.](https://athenahq.ai/platform/)
- [Publishes to your site: yes — Shopify, Webflow and Framer integrations publish optimised content.](https://athenahq.ai/)
- [Microsoft Copilot: yes — Included on every plan, free tier included.](https://athenahq.ai/)

**Trade-offs against GetCito:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — A certified GEO/SEO specialist and white-glove enablement come only with Enterprise.](https://athenahq.ai/plans/)
- [AI crawler analytics: partial — It diagnoses whether AI crawlers can reach your pages and manages their access, but nowhere claims a log of which AI bots actually crawled the site.](https://athenahq.ai/platform)

### 2. Goodie

AEO platform tracking brand visibility across AI engines, with optimization actions and revenue attribution.

**Research coverage:** 31/32 criteria

**Where it improves on GetCito:**
- [Generates content: yes — Content Studio writes new pieces in the brand's voice; AEO Content Writer and Blog Generation are ticked on all three tiers of the comparison table.](https://higoodie.com/features/aeo-writer/)
- [Publishes to your site: yes — WordPress publishing is offered from the Content Engine; the WordPress connector is listed only in the Enterprise column of the pricing comparison table's INTEGRATIONS row.](https://higoodie.com/integrations/)
- [Grok: partial — Only in the Enterprise 11-model set.](https://higoodie.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against GetCito:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Goodie is a software platform, not a done-for-you agency; the human component is a dedicated AEO strategist, custom onboarding hours and bi-weekly meetings, and only on Enterprise. Explorer gets a single AEO Strategy call.](https://higoodie.com/pricing/)
- [Gemini: partial — Not in the Explorer core set; added at Pro.](https://higoodie.com/pricing/)

### 3. OmniSEO

AI search visibility platform for tracking brand mentions, citations and competitors inside AI answers.

**Research coverage:** 31/32 criteria

**Where it improves on GetCito:**
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Listed as a separate channel from AI Overviews on the entry plan, with multi-turn thread tracking described on its own tracker page.](https://omniseo.com/pricing/)
- [Grok: partial — Excluded from the enumerated Essentials four and only present in the Professional ten, so the entry plan cannot see Grok at all.](https://omniseo.com/pricing/)
- [Self-serve signup: yes — Both published plans are bought through a signup link with no data connection or tracking code required; only Enterprise, at $899+ with custom terms, routes to Contact Sales.](https://omniseo.com/solutions/prompt-research/)

**Trade-offs against GetCito:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — Output is handed back for you to place yourself: the generators tell you to copy the block into your head tag or a CMS custom-HTML field, and no CMS, tag-manager or push integration is named anywhere on the site.](https://omniseo.com/tools/schema-generator/)
- [Gemini: partial — Absent from the four-channel Essentials plan and only unlocked in the ten-channel Professional set, so Gemini coverage costs $349/month rather than $89.](https://omniseo.com/pricing/)

### 4. Cognizo

AEO platform tracking brand visibility in AI answers, with agents that create and publish content.

**Research coverage:** 30/32 criteria

**Where it improves on GetCito:**
- [Generates content: yes — Agents produce briefs, outlines, drafts, FAQs and refreshes in the brand's voice](https://www.cognizo.ai/platform/content-optimization)
- [Publishes to your site: yes — Publishes to the customer's own site, with approval-per-piece or fully autonomous auto-publish](https://www.cognizo.ai/platform/done-for-you)
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Google AI Mode named explicitly, separately from AI Overviews](https://www.cognizo.ai/pricing)

**Trade-offs against GetCito:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Done-for-You executes autonomously via agents rather than staff; a human strategist is an Enterprise inclusion](https://www.cognizo.ai/pricing)
- [Self-serve signup: no — Every plan, including the $499 Platform tier, routes to Book a demo, and onboarding includes a call with a customer success partner.](https://www.cognizo.ai/pricing)

### 5. AIclicks

Tracks brand mentions and cited sources across 10+ AI engines, then drafts and publishes the fixes.

**Research coverage:** 32/32 criteria

**Where it improves on GetCito:**
- [Generates content: yes — Content Agent writes article drafts from tracked prompts and visibility gaps; plans meter 5, 15 or 30 AI-optimized articles per month.](https://docs.aiclicks.io/content-agent)
- [Publishes to your site: yes — One-click publish or draft-push to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify or Framer; re-publishing updates the existing post. CMS integration is listed on every paid tier.](https://docs.aiclicks.io/cms-setup)
- [Google AI Mode: yes — Google AI Mode is a selectable model, and counts against the plan's model slots like any other.](https://aiclicks.io/)

**Trade-offs against GetCito:**
- [Technical AEO: partial — Technical AEO is sold as a people-delivered audit from $750 and as free standalone tools (llms.txt generator, AI crawlability and robots.txt checkers); no schema or llms.txt feature is documented inside the tracked product.](https://aiclicks.io/services/ai-seo-agency)
- [Brand sentiment: partial — Sentiment themes with binary positive/negative share by model, but the dashboard is withheld from Starter, which sees a mock-data preview.](https://docs.aiclicks.io/sentiment-analysis)
- [AI crawler analytics: no — The in-product traffic view is GA4 referral attribution, not bot-crawl logs; the only bot-facing asset is a free standalone checker that tests whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are allowed, not whether they visited.](https://docs.aiclicks.io/integrations)

- [Generates content: yes — Content agent plans and writes articles; plans meter articles per month.](https://www.searchable.com/features/content)

- [Grok: partial — Tracked as a custom add-on rather than on the standard tiers.](https://www.searchable.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against GetCito:**
- [Done-for-you service: no — Self-serve software; agency features are tooling the customer's own team operates, not delivery by Searchable.](https://www.searchable.com/features/agency)
- [Meta AI: no — Absent from every engine list the vendor publishes, including the nine-engine plan comparison row.](https://www.searchable.com/)
- [Coverage in the vendor’s words: partial — Three engines are standard; Copilot, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek are add-ons or Custom-plan integrations, and the coverage set is chosen at onboarding.](https://www.searchable.com/pricing)
