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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

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.

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.

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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

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.

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.

Built for brands that want AI search engines to quote them, GEOFlow is an open-source admin system that turns approved knowledge into reviewed articles and publishes them across every site you run. Load documents or import trusted web pages into knowledge bases that are chunked into evidence units, with optional semantic planning and vector retrieval. Combine them with title libraries (AI can draft up to 100,000 titles), keywords, images, authors, and prompts, then set a task's generation limits, cadence, and publishing scope. Chat and embedding models connect through OpenAI-compatible endpoints or native Gemini, with automatic fallback to the next model when a call fails. Each draft passes an AI quality gate that checks evidence, citations, advertising rules, and publishing context, records scores with source locations and revision advice, and holds risky articles for a human reviewer. Approved articles appear on the built-in site with SEO metadata, Open Graph, Schema, sitemaps, and llms.txt, or travel to hosted subdomain sites, GEOFlow Agent packages, WordPress through its REST API, or any HTTP endpoint. A manual publishing workbench and Chrome assistant cover platforms that need a person, while analytics track traffic, AI crawlers, and brand visibility in generative engines. An API, command-line tool, and agent skill support automation. 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.

BlogFactory is the first open-source agent control plane purpose-built for multi-site content operations, shipping 16 distinct capabilities across four operational pillars — Operate, Grow, Control, and Deliver — in its v0.1.0 release. The platform keeps source evidence, AI-generated drafts, revisions, SEO metadata, human review, preflight checks, and CMS delivery destinations in one workspace while enforcing a server-side authority ceiling that prevents agents from ever publishing live content, accessing credentials, or performing administrative actions. AI agents connect through a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint with OAuth authentication and site-scoped tool discovery, compatible with Codex, ChatGPT, and any MCP-capable client. Content creation supports single articles from keywords, titles, URLs, PDFs, text, or YouTube sources, batch campaigns, and programmatic content via reusable templates with structured data rows. The Search Growth module connects Google Search Console complete-day data to ranked optimization opportunities, 30-day growth plans, content classification by signal type (growing, low-CTR, almost-ranking, page-two, zero-click), indexing checks, and semantic internal-link suggestions. Brand Voice separates global voice rules, writer profiles, knowledge context, and brand guidelines from article mechanics. Approved drafts are delivered as CMS drafts to WordPress, Ghost, Wix, or Framer through idempotent, optimistic-locking-protected handoffs with explicit destination selection and preflight validation. The stack runs on React/Vite, a Hono/TypeScript API, PostgreSQL, and MinIO via Docker Compose, with providers including OpenRouter, OpenAI, and Google services under a bring-your-own-AI model. 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.

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.

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.

HitKeep is a sovereign web analytics platform that consolidates cookieless visitor telemetry, conversion funnels, e-commerce revenue reports, and AI engine visibility into a privacy-respecting dashboard that replaces Google Analytics and complex tracking clouds. Marketing teams can monitor inbound visitor journeys without installing intrusive consent banners or violating regional GDPR regulations. Custom conversion funnels and goal milestones track user registrations, checkout transactions, newsletter subscriptions, and software downloads with exact revenue attribution. Integrated Google Search Console synchronization brings organic search queries, keyword impression rankings, and click-through metrics directly alongside real-time pageview logs. A dedicated artificial intelligence visibility dashboard monitors crawling bots, retrieval citations, and direct referral visits originating from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other generative search agents. Growth analysts can pose natural language questions to an embedded AI reporting assistant, generating instant cohort breakdowns and engagement trends without assembling complex manual filters. Site operators can configure custom tracking domains, whitelist reverse proxy networks, filter out referrer spam, and schedule automated database backups across persistent storage volumes. Complete data sovereignty controls allow teams to export raw event telemetry into open Parquet and CSV archives or stream metrics into external business intelligence warehouses via webhooks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Page views, funnels, session replays, error reports, Core Web Vitals, and uptime checks share one cookieless dashboard in Betterlytics, so teams stop stitching several tools together. The overview charts visitors, page views, bounce rate, and visit duration against the previous period, and annotations mark launches or campaigns right on the timeline. Breakdowns cover referrers, channels, UTM campaigns, browsers, devices, and operating systems, with visitor locations on a world map once an optional MaxMind key is added. Custom events, global properties such as plan or app version, and outbound link tracking show what visitors actually do, while user journey diagrams and funnels reveal where they drift away. Session replay is opt-in per tracking script, masks text and form inputs by default, and can keep recordings in your own S3-compatible bucket. Error tracking groups JavaScript errors with stack traces, a session trail, and a link to the matching replay. Uptime and SSL monitors alert through Slack, Discord, Teams, or webhooks and feed public status pages on your own domain. Teammates join by invitation, two-factor login is available, and a built-in MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, or Codex answer traffic questions. A script of about 3.5 KB or a WordPress plugin handles installation. 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.

Traffic analytics, real-user performance monitoring, and client-side error tracking - normally three tools - in one cookieless, privacy-first dashboard: Swetrix. The Community Edition ships the same core engine as the cloud product - a NestJS API with ClickHouse for high-volume event storage, MySQL for relational data, and Redis for caching, fronted by a React dashboard and a ~5 KB tracking script with official packages for 20+ frameworks including Next.js, WordPress, and Shopify. Traffic analytics cover pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns, geolocation, sessions with page flows, funnels, and custom events - all anonymized server-side with no cookies, no cross-device tracking, and no consent banner required for GDPR compliance. Performance monitoring records real-user metrics per pageview: TTFB, DNS and TLS timing, and render times, so regressions surface in the same place as traffic. Error tracking captures unhandled JavaScript exceptions automatically with formatted stack traces, filename/line metadata, affected browsers and pages, first/last-seen timestamps, and a resolve workflow - replacing a separate error monitoring subscription for many teams. Alerts fire to email, Slack, Telegram, Discord, or webhooks on traffic spikes, new errors, and custom events. If Plausible covers your traffic questions but you also want to know why the site broke, Swetrix answers both.

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.
