## Shortlist

### 1. SEOmatic

Autonomous SEO agents that diagnose, write, publish to your CMS and track visibility in AI answers.

**Where it improves on Knowatoa:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — Structured data is written and repaired per page type, and robots.txt is checked against AI answer crawlers, though robots.txt edits are staged for the buyer to paste.](https://seomatic.ai/features/schema-automation)
- [Perplexity: yes — Perplexity is a selectable engine in the monitor's own options list rather than a default, so it is queried once the buyer switches it on.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)
- [Gemini: yes — Gemini appears in the monitor's closed engine options list as an opt-in engine; it is not among the three engines scanned by default.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)

**Trade-offs against Knowatoa:**
- [Meta AI: no — Meta AI is not among the eight engines the visibility monitor can be set to query; the API documents the engine set as a closed list of options.](https://seomatic.ai/developers/rest-api)
- [Projects or brands: partial — Several brands are supported, but the entry paid plan covers one site; five sites come with Scale and twenty with Infrastructure, plus a paid extra-workspace add-on.](https://seomatic.ai/pricing)

### 2. Rank Prompt

AI visibility platform that tracks brand mentions and citations across six answer engines, with content and audits.

**Where it improves on Knowatoa:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — The audit validates schema, checks robots.txt against named AI crawler agents, and a free generator builds the llms.txt file it looks for.](https://rankprompt.com/seo-audit/)
- [Perplexity: yes — Rank Prompt names Perplexity in its own list of the six answer engines every plan queries, with no tier gating.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)
- [Gemini: yes — Rank Prompt names Gemini in its own list of the six answer engines every plan queries, with no tier gating.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Knowatoa:**
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Beyond the software the vendor sells a separate done-for-you GEO engagement, quoted from $2,500 a month, where its people write and place the content.](https://rankprompt.com/geo-agency/)
- [Meta AI: no — Meta AI is absent from the vendor's complete six-engine inventory, which it states as the full set it tracks on every plan.](https://rankprompt.com/pricing/)
- [AI crawler analytics: no — Traffic analytics classify AI referral sessions, not bot visits; the vendor states it does not read user agents, and the crawler work is a robots.txt directive check.](https://rankprompt.com/analytics/)

### 3. Promptwatch

AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.

**Where it improves on Knowatoa:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — A Technical Optimization row is ticked from the entry plan, and the Sitemap Health tab reports HTTP status, speed and missing SEO elements from Promptwatch's own crawl of sitemap pages.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/site-health)
- [Perplexity: yes — Perplexity appears as a supported AI model in the plan comparison table with a tick on Essential, Professional and Business, and is grouped with the live-search platforms that return citations.](https://promptwatch.com/docs/academy/choosing-your-models)
- [Gemini: yes — Google Gemini is its own row in the AI Models block of the plan table, ticked on all three published brand plans, and is documented as a live-search platform returning source URLs.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Knowatoa:**
- [Generates content: partial — Content Agents write new articles from citation data, but the entry Essential plan is sold with no article allowance at all; monthly AEO Articles start at five on Professional and ten on Business.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)
- [Done-for-you service: partial — Self-serve tiers are software only; the quote-only Custom tier adds managed content workflows plus a dedicated success manager, which is the closest the vendor comes to doing the work for you.](https://promptwatch.com/pricing)

### 4. LLM Pulse

Tracks brand mentions, citations and sentiment in AI answers, and drafts content to win more of them.

**Where it improves on Knowatoa:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — A dedicated technical GEO toolkit covers robots.txt auditing for AI bots, llms.txt generation and schema/structured-data recommendations, with several checkers free and account-free.](https://llmpulse.ai/features/geo-optimization)
- [Perplexity: yes — Perplexity is in the five-model bundle included on every plan, so it needs no add-on purchase at any tier.](https://llmpulse.ai/faq)
- [Gemini: yes — Gemini is included in the standard five-model set on all plans, and is separately listed as a source for reputation reports.](https://llmpulse.ai/faq)

**Trade-offs against Knowatoa:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — Generated content leaves the product as a file or a copy-paste; the vendor's own list of delivery options for GEO Writer output names no CMS destination, and no CMS integration appears on the site.](https://llmpulse.ai/features/geo-writer)
- [Done-for-you service: no — Agencies are a target segment but they operate the software themselves; the vendor sells seats, projects and white-label portals rather than performing the optimisation work.](https://llmpulse.ai/faq)
- [Brand sentiment: partial — Sentiment analysis is excluded from the entry Starter plan and first appears on Growth; deeper 7-dimension reputation reports sit higher again, on Scale.](https://llmpulse.ai/pricing)

### 5. Dageno

AI answer monitoring and market intelligence across seven AI platforms, with citation and competitor evidence.

**Where it improves on Knowatoa:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — Free public tools generate an llms.txt draft, audit a single page for AI crawl and parse readiness, and preview platform fit; the managed service additionally covers crawling, indexing and structured data checks.](https://www.dageno.ai/free-tools/ai-visibility)
- [Perplexity: yes — Perplexity is among the seven platforms included on every paid plan, with a dedicated monitoring page covering mentions, citations and competitive context in its answers.](https://www.dageno.ai/model/we-monitor-perplexity)
- [Gemini: yes — Gemini is one of the seven platforms included on every paid plan, and Dageno scopes its Gemini monitoring to the configured market, questions and project settings.](https://www.dageno.ai/model/we-monitor-gemini)

**Trade-offs against Knowatoa:**
- [Publishes to your site: no — Dageno states its own data connections change nothing on your site, and no CMS connector is documented anywhere; only the human managed-service team publishes, and then to Reddit, media and directories rather than your CMS.](https://www.dageno.ai/pricing)
- [Meta AI: no — Meta AI appears nowhere on Dageno's site: not in the seven platforms the pricing page says standard plans include, and not among the ten entries in its model directory, so no plan covers it today.](https://www.dageno.ai/pricing)
- [Recommendations: partial — Dageno does prescribe changes rather than only reporting, but the issues-and-opportunities surface that carries those recommendations is withheld from Starter and begins on the Growth plan.](https://www.dageno.ai/pricing)

### 6. Trakkr

AI visibility tracking with citation, perception and crawler data, plus article generation and site fixes.

**Where it improves on Knowatoa:**
- [Technical AEO: yes — AI Pages serves crawler-specific versions of pages via Cloudflare Workers, and the crawler Access tab reports robots.txt and llms.txt findings alongside schema recommendations.](https://trakkr.ai/llms.txt)
- [Perplexity: yes — Perplexity is one of the eight engines run daily against every active prompt, included on both self-serve plans rather than sold as an add-on.](https://trakkr.ai/pricing)
- [Gemini: yes — Gemini is named in the tracked set and also appears in the Accuracy check, which grades three assistants with live search switched off.](https://trakkr.ai/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Knowatoa:**
- [Done-for-you service: no — Agencies are customers rather than clients of a service: they rebrand the software and run it themselves, and no done-for-you retainer is sold anywhere on the site.](https://trakkr.ai/pricing)
- [Google AI Mode: no — Google AI Mode is missing from the vendor's complete list of eight tracked surfaces; the only route offered is a workflow guide that reads Google Search Console's own generative reports.](https://trakkr.ai/pricing)
- [Projects or brands: partial — The entry plan tracks a single brand; ten brands, client access and unlimited seats arrive only on Scale, and extra slots otherwise cost fifty dollars per brand each month.](https://trakkr.ai/pricing)
