Summary
Nightwatch is a keyword rank tracker that also records how AI assistants answer prompts about a brand. Its Citation Intelligence layer joins each AI citation back to the Google ranking of the page that earned it.
- Best for
- SEO agencies and in-house teams that want classic rank tracking and six-engine AI visibility in one dashboard, with citation-level attribution for AI answers.
- Not for
- Solo bloggers or very small sites on a tight budget who only need basic keyword rank tracking. Cheaper single-purpose rank trackers exist, and Nightwatch's AI layer is still newer than its core rank tracker.

- €99/month€99 monthly · €79 billed annually
- Free trial
- Partly14-day full-feature trial on every plan, no credit card required, and Content Studio, Site Audit, keyword research and AI visibility tracking are all available inside it.
