## Trusted by marketing teams and agencies

## Comparison

### Pick AthenaHQ for unlimited seats with RBAC on every tier.
A real wedge against seat-capped competitors. Native Shopify and Webflow integrations for AI traffic attribution. Fast onboarding for solo and small teams.

### Pick Writesonic to act on it.
Same monitoring shape, then the action layer Athena doesn't ship: the Action Center ranks every gap by impact, and the agents close it with content, citation outreach, and technical fixes.

## Customer Proof

### Two stories. One platform.

Writesonic treats AI search the way good marketers treat any channel. It shows where you're losing, ships the fix through content and citations, and proves the lift in pipeline. That's why we switched.
