Product overview
What is AthenaHQ?
AthenaHQ is a AI-search visibility platform built to measure where a brand appears in answer engines and turn citation gaps into an action plan. AEO 'command center' with citation engine and BI dashboards In practical use, the product brings together multi-engine monitoring, share-of-voice benchmarking, and citation source analysis so a team can move from raw signals to a clearer decision without stitching together an ad hoc spreadsheet workflow. It is most useful when the team defines the audience, market, and reporting question before collecting data. MaximusLabs evaluates the product on the job it is designed to do—not on the number of features in its menu—and checks pricing against the official source linked below.

Capabilities are described and checked against official product and publisher-owned video sources. Claim-level citations are not recorded yet, so this dimension is capped at 75%.
