Effective tools for generative engine optimization need to track brand mention frequency across AI platforms, citation source analysis (which websites AI cites when discussing your brand), share of voice relative to competitors, and content gaps — topics AI platforms cannot adequately answer about your business. AthenaHQ is designed to surface all of these data points in one platform, supporting both day-to-day GEO specialists and executive stakeholders.
