AIGROW vs AthenaHQ

AthenaHQ measures, and goes further than most trackers: eleven models on Starter, on-page and off-page actions, a content optimization agent, and a certified GEO specialist on Enterprise. AIGROW does the work and measures it, at a published price: a $490 audit sets a baseline, then Complete AI Visibility does the fixes every month for one site and reports the change. AthenaHQ suits a team that wants depth of analysis; AIGROW suits a business that wants the work done.

The difference

Where we are not AthenaHQ

The parts that are structural rather than a feature gap they could close next quarter.

Actions to take or actions taken

AthenaHQ lists the on-page and off-page actions and gives your team an agent to write with. Complete AI Visibility does those actions for you every month on one site, and measures them against the baseline.

Where AthenaHQ is the better buy

Eleven models, a citation engine, sentiment, enterprise controls and a certified specialist on Enterprise. A team that needs depth of analysis gets more of it from AthenaHQ than from AIGROW.

A published price for the work

The audit is $490 once, within 5 working days or refunded, and it comes off the first month in full. Complete AI Visibility is $990 a month for one site, cancelled from the receipt.

Switching from AthenaHQ

Migration, overlap, and the cases where staying where you are is the right answer.

For a team that will act on what it shows, it is a lot of measurement for the price: eleven models, actions to take and a content agent. For a business with no one to do the work, the measurement alone does not change what the assistants say.

No. AthenaHQ measures eleven models on Starter to AIGROW's four, and its Enterprise plan adds a certified GEO specialist, SAML SSO and audit logs. AIGROW measures less and spends the fee on the work instead.

The agent helps your team write and improve content inside the platform. AIGROW writes the pages and answers for you as part of Complete AI Visibility, together with your Google Business Profile, directory citations and structured data.

Not today. If procurement requires them, AthenaHQ's Enterprise plan meets a bar AIGROW does not.

Yes. Start with the free scan, then the audit if you are not named. The audit hands over the prompt sheet, so any tracker you add later can run the same questions.

See what the assistants say about your business.

The free checker asks the questions a customer would ask and shows who gets named. The audit goes further: your own questions, four assistants, and the fixes in the order they matter.
