GEO-AEO Tracker shows whether AI search engines mention your brand at all, and how well, by checking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Mode with the prompts your buyers actually ask. Set up a project with your brand name, aliases, website, industry, and keywords, then run single prompts or batch every prompt across all five engines in parallel. Each run scores visibility from 0 to 100 using mentions, position, frequency, citations, and sentiment, and the analytics view charts that score over time with historical deltas and CSV export. Browse the raw AI responses with your brand and competitors highlighted, group citations by domain to see which sources engines trust, and find citation opportunities where competitors get cited and you do not, complete with outreach briefs. Generate side by side competitor battlecards, audit your site for AI readiness across llms.txt, crawler access, schema markup, and heading structure, and run the deeper SRO pipeline for a scored list of content gaps. Fan prompts out by persona, explore high intent niche queries, compare visibility by country, receive drift alerts when scores move, and schedule automatic runs across multiple workspaces.

When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity which product to choose, Limelit Open shows whether your brand appears in the answer, where it ranks, and which sources the engines trusted. You define the prompts your market actually asks, register your competitors, and the tracker runs every prompt against seven engines on a schedule you control: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini through vendor APIs with web search on, plus Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Bing Copilot through scraper providers, each result labeled by how it was collected. Every stored answer is searched for your brand and each competitor with the rank of the list item they appear in, so visibility, share of voice, average position, and citation share rest on readable evidence rather than a black-box score. Click any number and you land on the full answer text with matches highlighted, the searches the engine ran, the brands it named, and every cited URL classified as yours, a competitor's, social, informational, or other. A prompt by engine grid makes weak spots obvious, and the built-in MCP server lets Claude or another assistant query the same data in plain language. Runs are capped by a daily ceiling you set, prompts and answers live in one SQLite file, and a single export command dumps the whole instance as JSON or CSVs for your own reporting.

GeoLook shows you what AI search engines actually say about your brand, then turns that uncomfortable answer into a fix list you can work through and verify. You sample real answers across a wide matrix of AI engines and watch mention rate, ranking, and citation share appear per engine, with raw answer replay when a number looks suspicious. Competitor tables reveal which rival each engine prefers and which citation sources they rely on that you do not. A structured question bank sorts buyer, education, and probing questions, flagging the ones where you are absent, outranked, or described negatively. The site audit checks whether crawlers can reach, understand, and quote your pages, in the order those failures actually block visibility. Findings become tickets with an owner, effort estimate, risk grade, and acceptance check, and later sampling rounds confirm whether a fix worked or reopen the ticket when results slip. A content workbench ranks the topics most worth writing, checks drafts for citability, and prepares assets such as llms.txt and structured data snippets for publishing.

Buyers now ask an AI assistant before they ever visit your website, and Cited tells you whether your brand made it into the answer. Verify your domain with a DNS record, choose the buyer-like prompts worth watching, and Cited checks them on schedule across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews. Every meaningful appearance becomes a durable evidence note in your citation inbox: open one to see the exact prompt, the response snapshot, where your domain appeared, and the first-seen history. It distinguishes a true source citation from a brand mention without a link, an explicit recommendation, and the uncomfortable one, a missed opportunity where a competitor got cited and you did not. Competitor tracking runs continuously, so you see rivals earning answers in your category while there is still time to respond. Notes can be annotated, organized through new, seen, saved, and resolved states, and exported for reporting. Email alerts flag meaningful new events and a weekly digest summarizes what changed, so checking becomes a habit instead of another dashboard to babysit. Workspace roles and local credentials keep a small marketing team organized on your own PostgreSQL database.

Tracking how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers talk about your brand, Elmo gives you a self-hosted dashboard for measuring and improving your AI search visibility. A setup wizard reads your website and suggests keywords, competitors, buyer personas, and tracking prompts. Behind the scenes, a worker reruns every tracked prompt on a schedule against the engines you connect, using scraping providers such as BrightData, Oxylabs, or SearchApi for real consumer experiences, or direct OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and OpenRouter APIs. Each run feeds visibility scores per prompt and per model, mention tracking across names, aliases, and domains, sentiment from positive to negative, and each company's position in the answer. The Responses page filters answers by model, tag, prompt, or sentiment and highlights the passage behind each judgment. Citation analysis sorts cited URLs into your domains, competitors, social media, Google properties, and institutional sources. A share-of-voice leaderboard ranks competitors against you over time. Query fan-out shows the web searches engines ran before answering. Opportunities turns the numbers into a prioritized list of content to create, pitch, and seed. Shareable reports reach stakeholders without an account, and a REST API with TypeScript and Python SDKs plus an MCP server lets coding agents query the data. Raw engine output stays in your own database for later audit. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

GEOInflow is a self-hosted analytics platform that shows website owners which AI crawlers visit their pages, what those crawlers read, and how much traffic and revenue AI search actually sends back. Import a sitemap, CSV, or JSON inventory and the coverage report compares it against observed crawl logs, flagging important pages that no AI crawler has ever requested and directories where coverage keeps dropping. The built-in catalog recognizes 61 AI crawler identities, including crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Microsoft, ByteDance, Baidu, Kimi, and Tencent Hunyuan, and separates training, AI search, and user-triggered visits. Verification combines declared user agents with official IP ranges and DNS evidence, so a spoofed crawler name never counts as a confirmed visit. Browser tracking connects AI search referrals to landing pages, custom events, goals, funnels, and conversions, letting teams measure whether visibility in AI answers turns into signups and sales. Alongside the GEO reports, teams get pageviews, unique visitors, referrers, geography, devices, heatmaps, retention, and visitor paths, with CSV, JSON, and ZIP exports for any selected scope. Workspaces, team permissions, and public sharing links let agencies and publishers give each client or department its own dashboards without exposing raw data or other sites.

RankMe puts the whole SEO workbench on your own server: audits, rankings, keywords, backlinks, and AI visibility without a per-seat subscription deciding what you may check. Crawl a site and it runs 26 automated checks, returning a plain-language report sorted into Fix now, Watch, and Passed, where each finding names the page, explains in one sentence why it matters, and tells you how to fix it, with an optional AI summary on top. Rank tracking follows Google organic positions over time plus Bing, YouTube, and Amazon, watches SERP features, fires confirmed-drop alerts, and maps local rankings on a geogrid. Keyword research covers volume, difficulty, trends, and SERP-overlap clustering, while Search Console data feeds cannibalization reports and connects to GA4, PageSpeed Insights, and CrUX for performance context. Backlink profiles, link-gap analysis, toxic-link review, and competitor discovery show who links to rivals and which content earns it. A dedicated AI visibility module tracks prompts in AI Overviews and LLM answers and measures share of voice in a weekly digest. Agencies get PDF and CSV exports, scheduled white-label client reports, read-only share links, a REST API, and an MCP server, with alerts delivered by email, Slack, or signed webhook across seven interface languages.

OpenSEO provides an alternative to the $100+/month SEO suite monopoly by connecting directly to DataForSEO APIs on a pay-as-you-go basis — you bring your own API key and pay only for the queries you actually make. The platform delivers focused workflows for keyword research with volume, difficulty, CPC, intent, and live SERP inspection; rank tracking with historical position monitoring; backlink analysis with referring domain quality scoring; technical site audits that crawl pages and surface issues; competitor insights comparing SERP positions across keyword sets; and AI visibility monitoring that tracks brand mentions, citations, and prompts across AI models. The integrated MCP server exposes all tools to AI coding agents including Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Cursor, while Agent Skills provide reusable SKILL.md workflows that guide agents through complex SEO research tasks. Google Search Console integration reads first-party performance data including clicks, impressions, CTR, and position metrics with URL-level index status inspection. The Prompt Explorer compares how different AI models respond to SEO-relevant queries. Self-host via Docker for personal use or deploy to Cloudflare for team access with automatic database backups. The hosted version at openseo.so adds a 28% markup on DataForSEO requests.

Search is being answered by AI crawlers first and humans second, yet most site owners cannot name a single bot that read their pages last week; Geo-Monitor answers that from the access logs you already have. A small collector sits beside Nginx or OpenResty, mounts the log read-only, and streams only new lines in batches, resuming after outages and surviving log rotation without ever touching your site's code. The console separates today, the last week, and the last month into identified requests, crawled pages, active crawlers, and trend lines, then drills into every visit with time, path, method, status code, claimed identity, and verification state. Identification and verification are deliberately different things here: a user agent only proves what a request claims to be, while a verified badge requires trusted log addresses and official IP evidence to agree. Twenty built-in identities cover OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Kimi, and Bytespider crawlers, and you can add, edit, or disable rules as new bots appear. Your sitemap syncs or imports as the content catalog, so coverage views show which pages crawlers actually reached, and collector health exposes heartbeat, backlog, and parsing problems.

Unlimited domains, unlimited keywords, daily Google position checks with stored history and trend charts: SerpBear is an open-source search engine rank tracker. Retrieval works through your choice of third-party SERP APIs - ScrapingAnt, ScrapingRobot, SerpApi, SearchApi, HasData - or your own proxy IP pool, and a flexible scrape-strategy system (Basic, Custom, or Smart, set globally or per domain) works around Google's removal of the 100-results-per-page parameter by choosing how many pages to check per keyword. Google Search Console integration adds real visit counts, impressions, and click-through rates per tracked keyword and surfaces top-performing pages and countries; Google Ads integration supplies monthly search volumes and auto-generates keyword ideas from your site's content. Email notifications report position changes daily, weekly, or monthly, a built-in REST API feeds dashboards and reporting tools, and data exports to CSV. Built with Next.js on SQLite, deployed via Docker, installable as a PWA on mobile - with no per-keyword or monthly SaaS fees.

Bisibility puts your Google rankings, keyword research, and backlink profile in one application that runs on your server instead of behind a per-seat subscription. Track every keyword by market and device, watch positions move over time, and open the stored snapshot of the actual results page behind any check to see exactly what Google showed. Alerts flag the movements that matter, while competitor share of voice shows whose visibility is growing at your expense. The keyword explorer surfaces suggestions with search volume, trends, cost per click, difficulty, and intent, and shows the estimated price before a lookup runs, so research never surprises your wallet. Backlink and domain views break down referring domains, anchors, and new and lost links next to estimated traffic and top pages for any site you type in. Search Console clicks, impressions, and queries are kept beyond the usual retention window, and a recurring prompt tracker follows how AI answer engines cite your brand over time. Results flow outward through a versioned API, MCP access, signed webhooks, and CSV exports. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

More than 70 automated checks sniff out broken links, redirect chains, and missing meta tags across your whole site, and SEOnaut, the self-hosted SEO audit crawler, sorts every finding into critical, alert, or warning so you know what to fix first. Add a website as a project, press Crawl Now, and watch URLs stream in with their status codes; a Stop button ends any run that wanders off. Reports also cover duplicate titles and descriptions, heading order, hreflang, canonicals, image alt text, thin content, orphan pages, and non-HTTPS URLs, while a passed-checks list shows what is already healthy. Dashboard charts follow crawl history, issue trends, status codes, link types, and page depth. Crawl options are set per project: ignore robots.txt, follow nofollow links, include noindex pages, read the sitemap, allow subdomains, check external links, or authenticate with HTTP Basic to audit a password-protected staging site. Page Details opens any URL with its inlinks, outgoing links, redirections, and images, and URL Explorer searches the crawled pages by term. Export sitemap.xml, CSV lists, or a replayable WACZ archive. Each person picks a light or dark theme and one of five interface languages.

No cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, no personal data collection - Umami's privacy contract is the foundation of the open-source web analytics platform. IP addresses are hashed rather than stored, which makes it GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant by default - the consent banner can come off the site entirely. The tracking script is under 2 KB, roughly 20x smaller than Google Analytics, so measurement stops being a page-weight tax. The dashboard covers the core metrics - pageviews, visitors, bounce rate, visit duration, referrers, browsers, devices, and countries - with any date range and filtering by country or device. Beyond pageviews, custom events track clicks, form submissions, and signups via a data attribute or one JavaScript call, and advanced reports add funnels, user journeys, retention and cohort analysis, goals, and automatic UTM campaign tracking. Anonymous session views show individual visitor activity without identifying anyone. Teams share websites with role-based access, one instance manages unlimited sites, and a full REST API exposes every metric programmatically. MIT-licensed and self-hosted on PostgreSQL or MySQL via Docker, your analytics data never leaves your infrastructure.

Several EU data protection authorities have ruled Google Analytics deployments unlawful; Matomo (formerly Piwik) is the most complete open-source replacement - a full analytics platform with 30+ report types across visitors, actions, referrers, goals, and ecommerce. The self-hosted PHP/MySQL edition is free and keeps every byte of visitor data on your infrastructure, which matters more each year: several EU data protection authorities have ruled Google Analytics deployments unlawful, while Matomo configured for cookieless tracking is approved by France's CNIL for use without a consent banner. All reporting runs on 100% unsampled data - no extrapolation at high traffic volumes. The GDPR Manager handles data subject requests and deletion, with IP anonymization, retention controls, and Do Not Track support built in. A dedicated importer pulls your historical Google Analytics data so years of trends survive the migration. Core analytics cover campaigns, custom variables and dimensions, entry/exit pages, downloads, site search, and full ecommerce tracking with a comprehensive HTTP API for reporting and ingestion. Premium plugins extend the platform into Hotjar-class behavioral tooling - click and scroll heatmaps, session recordings, conversion funnels, form analytics, A/B testing - plus a tag manager and SAML SSO. For teams that need GA-equivalent depth with actual data ownership, Matomo is the realistic drop-in replacement.

Built as a direct rejection of the adtech model, Plausible is the best-known privacy-first web analytics tool - lightweight, cookie-free, and open-source. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data: unique visitors are counted via a hash of IP plus User-Agent that rotates every 24 hours and is never stored raw, so no consent banner is required and GDPR compliance is structural rather than contractual. The tracking script is under 1 KB - orders of magnitude lighter than GA - and the dashboard is a deliberate contrast to GA4's sprawl: one fast-loading page with visitors, sources, top pages, countries, devices, and UTM breakdowns, filterable by any dimension. Custom events and goals track signups and clicks, Google Search Console integration pulls in search queries, scheduled email reports keep stakeholders updated, and the Stats API (v2) plus CSV export feed data anywhere. This is the AGPL-licensed Community Edition, the same Elixir codebase that powers Plausible's cloud service, running as three containers: the web app, PostgreSQL for accounts, and ClickHouse for event storage - which means self-hosters get direct SQL access to raw analytics data the cloud version never exposes. Traffic data stays entirely on your server, with no visitor caps or per-pageview pricing.

GoatCounter delivers meaningful web traffic insights — pageviews, referrers, browsers, screen sizes, country-level geolocation — without setting a single cookie, without collecting personal data, and without forcing GDPR consent banners on your visitors. Written entirely in Go and distributed as a single compiled binary consuming roughly 25MB of RAM, it adds just 3.5KB to your pages via the tracking script, with a JavaScript-free tracking pixel alternative for sites that avoid scripts entirely, plus backend middleware integration and log file import for server-side collection. The dashboard displays pageview counts per path with hourly resolution, referrer sources grouped by domain with full URL on hover, browser and OS version breakdowns, screen size distributions, and country-level location data derived from IP addresses that are immediately discarded after geolocation. Campaign tracking supports UTM parameters and custom data attributes. A public stats option exposes your dashboard at a shareable URL for build-in-public transparency. SQLite serves as the default database requiring zero administration, while PostgreSQL handles higher-traffic deployments with multi-site setups. Built-in ACME and TLS certificate management eliminates reverse proxy requirements for HTTPS — no Nginx or Caddy needed. The REST API provides programmatic access to all analytics data. Deploy as a single binary, via Docker with the official arp242/goatcounter image, or through native packages.
