Forecasting built to win the pitch, and a deliberate refusal to bill per AI prompt.

What SEOmonitor is
SEOmonitor is organised around an agency's commercial cycle rather than around a dashboard, pitch, win, execute, prove. Its centrepiece is forecasting: it converts projected ranking improvements into month-by-month traffic projections, adjusted for seasonality, so a proposal can state what the work should deliver instead of describing what the work is. That is a sales tool as much as an SEO one.
It takes a clear and contrarian position on AI search. Rather than tracking individual prompts, it argues that one keyword corresponds to thousands of possible prompts, so it tracks keywords and reports AI Overviews and ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity citations against the same keyword strategy. Whether you agree decides whether this tool or a per-prompt tracker fits how you think, the two approaches are not interchangeable, and the pricing follows the philosophy.
Unlimited seats on every plan is the other structural choice, and it is aimed squarely at the competitors who charge per user. Starter is €99 a month for one website; Pro is €299 for agencies running multiple campaigns and scales to 200,000 keywords. AI search keywords are Pro-only, which is the main thing to check before assuming Starter covers you.
SEOmonitor in context
SEOmonitor is built for the agency sales cycle in a way no general-purpose rank tracker is. Its forecasting engine turns keyword strategy into projected traffic and revenue numbers that belong in a pitch deck, not a dashboard — answering the client question “what will this be worth” rather than “what did you do.” That commercial orientation is the reason agencies adopt it and the reason individual site owners rarely need it.
The keyword-versus-prompt stance on AI search tracking is a genuine philosophical choice, not a missing feature. SEOmonitor argues that tracking individual prompts samples an infinite space and produces noise, while tracking keywords and reporting which ones trigger AI Overviews or LLM citations keeps a single strategy across surfaces. Whether that framing fits depends on how AI visibility is being reported — agencies building unified organic reports will prefer it, while teams that need to monitor specific branded prompts across ChatGPT or Perplexity will find the approach insufficient.
Unlimited seats on every plan is aimed directly at competitors charging per user. For a mid-size agency where five or six people need access to client dashboards, the per-seat fees at other platforms can exceed the base subscription. SEOmonitor removes that variable entirely. The constraint to watch is the Starter tier — one campaign, one analytics connection, and no AI Search Keywords make it a genuinely single-site plan, and the jump to Pro at three times the price is steep for anyone who outgrows it.
What you can use it for
- Build a forecast and business case to win an SEO pitch
- Track rankings, AI Overviews and LLM citations against one keyword strategy
- Report organic performance to clients without per-seat fees
- Project traffic month by month with seasonality accounted for
The features that matter for SEO
Each one says what it does and the SEO job it serves. A vendor feature list without that second half tells you nothing you could not read on their own site.
Forecasting and business case builder
Converts projected ranking improvements into month-by-month traffic projections adjusted for seasonality, and packages them as a business case.
The reason agencies buy it. It answers the question a prospect actually asks (what will this be worth) which no ranking report does.
A forecast is a model. It is a defensible basis for a proposal, not a promise.
Keyword-level AI tracking, not prompt-level
Reports AI Overviews and ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity citations against the same keyword set rather than tracking individual prompts.
A deliberate philosophical stance, one keyword maps to thousands of prompts, so tracking keywords keeps one strategy across channels. It also avoids the per-prompt costs that per-prompt trackers charge.
AI Search Keywords require the Pro plan.
Unlimited seats on every plan
Places no cap on users at any tier.
Removes the fee that scales with agency headcount, and the pricing page makes a direct comparison with rivals who charge €19 to €48 a user.
Unified organic reporting
Brings Google rankings, AI Overviews and LLM citations into one view with GA and Search Console connected.
The fragmentation problem is real, separate AI and organic reports invite the client to ask which one is true. One view avoids the question.
Personalised SEO difficulty
Scores difficulty relative to the tracked site rather than in the abstract.
More useful than a universal difficulty score, because whether a keyword is winnable depends on who is asking.
All competitors tracked
Tracks all competitors rather than a capped list, on both plans.
Competitor caps are a common hidden limit in rank tracking, and removing it changes what you can see about a market.
AI Content Writer
Generates articles, with 10 included on Starter and a standalone Writer-Only plan at €25.
Present and separately purchasable, but the platform's centre of gravity is measurement and forecasting, not production.
Pricing and limits
Starting price: From €99/month (Starter, 1,000 keywords); Pro from €299/month Checked 20 August 2026 Vendor’s own pricing page
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | €99 /mo | The vendor positions this for a single website. AI Search Keywords are not available on it.
|
| Pro | €299 /mo | Marked most popular by the vendor, and positioned for agencies and brands.
|
| Writer-Only | €25 /mo | A separate plan for publishers who want the content writer without the tracking platform.
|
| Add-ons Add-on | +€10 per GA/GSC connection; +€49 per 1,000 daily keywords /mo | Bought on top of a plan rather than requiring a tier upgrade. |
Add-on rows are only ever charged on top of a plan, so they are excluded from the entry price used in the directory’s price filter.

Questions
How much does SEOmonitor cost?
Starter is €99 a month based on 1,000 daily tracked keywords, and Pro is €299 based on 3,000, scaling to 200,000. A Writer-Only plan is €25. Extra GA/GSC connections are €10 each and extra daily keywords €49 per 1,000. All plans include unlimited seats. Verified on 20 August 2026.
Why does it track keywords instead of AI prompts?
Its argument is that one keyword corresponds to thousands of possible prompts, so tracking prompts samples a space you cannot cover, while tracking keywords keeps one strategy across organic and AI surfaces. If you specifically want named prompts monitored, a per-prompt tracker is the other choice. The two are genuinely different approaches, not different price points.
What is the forecasting actually for?
Winning work. It turns projected ranking gains into month-by-month traffic estimates adjusted for seasonality, which is what lets a proposal state expected value rather than describe activity. Treat the output as a defensible model, not a guarantee.
