# AthenaHQ

> AthenaHQ is a generative engine optimization (GEO) platform that helps brands monitor, measure, and improve their visibility in AI search — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews & Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and other answer engines. Built by a team with backgrounds at Google Search and DeepMind, AthenaHQ combines AI search monitoring, share-of-voice analytics, content agents, and revenue attribution in one platform.

AthenaHQ pioneered the GEO / AEO (answer engine optimization) category. The platform tracks how AI models mention, cite, and recommend your brand across platforms and prompts, estimates AI search query volume with its Query Volume Estimation Model (QVEM), and takes action through autonomous content agents (Athena Citation Engine) that create and optimize content for AI citation. Plans span self-serve, growth, agency, and enterprise tiers.
