Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Shopify store to use AthenaHQ?

AthenaHQ is heavily optimized for Shopify and e-commerce. While it may work for other sites, its core value proposition is built around product-level AI visibility for online stores. Geonapse works equally well for SaaS, content sites, agencies, local businesses, and e-commerce.

What is autonomous optimization and does Geonapse offer it?

AthenaHQ's autonomous optimization automatically implements content changes on your site. Geonapse takes a different approach: our 21-check audit gives you specific, actionable recommendations that you review and implement. This gives you full control over what changes are made to your site.

Is the $95 introductory month at AthenaHQ a good deal?

The $95 first month is a trial price -- it jumps to $270/mo afterward. Geonapse's free tier lets you evaluate indefinitely with 1 audit per month, and paid plans start at $19/mo with no price surprises. Our $299 lifetime deal costs less than two months of AthenaHQ.
