Nightwatch

Summary

Nightwatch is a keyword rank tracker that also records how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity answer prompts about a brand. It links citations in those answers back to the Google positions and pages that produced them.

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.
