OpenSEO

Summary

OpenSEO is an open-source SEO platform, hosted or self-hosted, that pairs keyword research, rank tracking, backlinks and site audits with an AI brand visibility workspace. It is built around an MCP server so AI agents run the same research the web app shows.

What it does

Monitors AI answers: YesA dedicated AI Visibility screen looks up a brand or domain and reports how two AI-search sources mention or cite it, alongside the classic SEO tooling.Search for a brand or domain and inspect how ChatGPT and Google AI Overview mention or cite it in available results.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Optimises your content: PartlyThe site audit inspects pages you already own and names page-level defects to fix, but the vendor states classic on-page content optimisation is deliberately out of scope.Status codes, titles, meta descriptions, headings, indexability signals, image alt coverage, links, and response time for every crawled page.openseo.so/features/site-audit
Generates content: NoNo feature writes copy today; the vendor lists content writing for agents on its roadmap under Soon, which is a plan rather than a shipped capability.Content writing workflows for Agentsopenseo.so/roadmap
Publishes to your site: NoThe workspace is described as research, tracking and auditing only; no CMS, WordPress or publishing integration appears on the features index or in the docs.Research keywords, track rankings, audit sites, and understand your AI visibility from one modern platform.openseo.so/features
Technical AEO: PartlyTechnical SEO checks are real — indexability signals, Lighthouse, URL inspection — but AEO-specific work such as llms.txt or agent readiness checks is roadmap, not shipped.Inspect pages for status codes, titles, meta descriptions, headings, indexability signals, image alt coverage, links, response time, and optional…openseo.so/features/site-audit
Done-for-you service: NoThis is self-serve software sold as one subscription or self-hosted for free; no managed, done-for-you or consulting engagement is offered anywhere on the site.One plan. Everything included.openseo.so/pricing

Answer engines

ChatGPT: YesChatGPT is one of the two named sources behind the AI visibility report, and the pricing estimator meters ChatGPT brand checks as a billable unit.AI brand visibility is how often your brand or domain appears in available ChatGPT and Google AI Overview mention and citation data.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Google AI Overviews: YesGoogle AI Overview is the second named data source for brand mentions and citations, stated on the feature page, its FAQ and the features index.See whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overview data mention or cite your brand or domain.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Google AI Mode: NoThe vendor defines its AI visibility data as ChatGPT and Google AI Overview mentions and citations; Google AI Mode is named nowhere on the site, including the roadmap.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Microsoft Copilot: NoMicrosoft Copilot is absent from every public page, while the visibility feature states its mention and citation data comes from ChatGPT and Google AI Overview.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Meta AI: NoMeta AI never appears on the vendor's site, and the AI visibility report is defined as covering ChatGPT and Google AI Overview mention and citation data only.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Coverage in the vendor’s words: PartlyBrand monitoring is stated as two sources, ChatGPT and Google AI Overview, while Prompt Explorer compares unnamed 'supported AI models', so the full engine list is undisclosed.OpenSEO's AI visibility workflow looks at mentions, cited pages, related prompts, and platform-level metrics from supported AI-search sources.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility

What it reports

Names the cited sources: YesThe report surfaces the URLs, domains and platforms behind brand mentions, and Prompt Explorer shows citation URLs returned with model answers.Review the URLs, domains, and platforms contributing to brand mentions.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Competitor tracking: PartlyClassic competitor research is strong via domain overview and backlink comparison, but on the AI side the vendor describes highlighting one brand per prompt rather than a rival view.Highlight a brand and see whether each model mentions it in the answer or cited sources.openseo.so/features/ai-search-prompts
Brand sentiment: NoThe AI visibility output is enumerated as mentions, cited pages and related prompts; no sentiment, attribute or perception scoring is described anywhere on the site.Look up a brand or domain and review ChatGPT and Google AI Overview mentions, cited pages, and related prompts.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility
Recommendations: PartlyAudit findings and agent skills produce a next action to take, yet the vendor explicitly refuses on-page optimisation scoring such as keyword density.Audit a website with your AI agent and get a one-page, plain-language SEO report built around a single next action.openseo.so/docs
AI crawler analytics: NoThe crawler runs outward from OpenSEO over your pages; the audit's stated checks are page signals only, with no AI bot hit or log analysis offered.openseo.so/features/site-audit
Wrong answers about you: NoNothing in the AI visibility workflow checks whether an engine states something false; the described output stops at mentions, cited pages and prompts.Use cited pages and related prompts as clues for content, reputation, or comparison coverage to investigate.openseo.so/features/ai-brand-visibility

Plans and signing up

Prompt or credit allowance: YesVolume is metered in dollars of usage rather than a prompt quota: the plan carries ten dollars of credit monthly and each ChatGPT brand check is priced individually.Includes $10 of usage every monthopenseo.so/pricing
Projects or brands: YesSeveral projects live in one account — the docs tell an agent to list projects and pass a project ID, and the agency estimator prices multiple websites.If your agent cannot find a project, ask it to list OpenSEO projects first and use the returned project ID in later tool calls.openseo.so/docs/mcp
Countries: YesRank tracking is configured per domain and location, and MCP exposes local SERP lookups around a coordinate; the AI visibility side is not described as geo-segmented.Create rank tracking configurations for the domains and locations you care about.openseo.so/features/rank-tracking
How often it checks: YesRank checks run manually, weekly or daily: I focused the vendor's frequency slider and stepped it through all three labelled positions; AI brand checks are on demand and billed per check.Rank tracking frequencyopenseo.so/pricing
Card required to start: NoSign-up is advertised without a card, and the strategy library repeats that trying OpenSEO does not require one before the $10 subscription starts.OpenSEO is open source, free to try, and does not require a credit card.openseo.so/library/keyword-research/int…
Self-serve signup: YesOne published plan, a sign-up link and no sales contact anywhere: a buyer starts free and subscribes at ten dollars without talking to anyone.You can start OpenSEO for free; the paid plan is $10/month with usage credits included.openseo.so/features/keyword-research

Access and integrations

API: PartlyPersonal API keys exist, but they authenticate the hosted MCP endpoint for headless clients; the docs describe no separate REST or data API for your own stack.Use an API key in headless environments, CI, or clients where OAuth is inconvenient. API keys are personal: anything an agent does with your key acts…openseo.so/docs/mcp
MCP server: YesA hosted MCP server is the product's centrepiece, exposing keyword, SERP, domain, backlink, rank tracking and Search Console tools to any MCP client.OpenSEO MCP lets compatible AI clients call OpenSEO tools for keyword research, SERP inspection, local business research, competitive search…openseo.so/docs/mcp

The terms in full
Hosted: a free trial carrying $0.50 of credits, and the pricing FAQ states an active subscription is required to use OpenSEO. Self-hosting the open-source app costs $0 but needs your own paid DataForSEO key (minimum $50 top-up). The site audit page separately calls this a 'free plan' with audits up to 50 pages per crawl, which contradicts the subscription requirement.
