Temso is an AI SEO platform built only for agencies that need to know how their client brands show up in AI-generated answers and then fix what they find. It tracks citations and mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, with Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Muse as add-ons, drawing that data from the real consumer interfaces of each engine rather than from developer APIs. Beyond tracking, the platform adds technical site audits, backlink and mention outreach, and AI bot traffic analytics inside one account, with content creation as a $149 per client brand/mo add-on. Temso promises it will never compete with you for your clients.

Index score: 96/100
This directory scores every entry on a published 100-point formula: coverage (25 points), execution (25 points), ease of use (20 points), value for money (20 points), and transparency (10 points). Full methodology lives on the methodology page. Temso’s breakdown:
| Criterion | Weight | Temso score | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | 25 | 23 | 8 (4 included, 4 add-ons) from live interfaces; included coverage is narrower than the widest specialist trackers, which cover eight or more |
| Execution | 25 | 24 | Monitoring, audits, bot analytics, and backlink checks bundled together, with content as an add-on; docked one point because it is not a full SEO suite |
| Ease of use | 20 | 20 | Highest score in the directory; five-minute guided setup, no SEO background needed |
| Value for money | 20 | 20 | Highest score in the directory; one plan with no per-client or per-seat fees lowers the cost per client |
| Transparency | 10 | 9 | Plan prices and limits are published, though add-on engine prices are not; docked one point for a shorter independent review history than incumbent suites |
| Total | 100 | 96 |
What it tracks and what it does
Temso’s monitoring layer checks how a client brand appears across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, with Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Muse as add-ons. Answers get pulled from the same interfaces a customer would actually see, not from a raw API response, which matters because API output and consumer-facing output do not always match.
Monitoring is one layer of the product, not the whole product. The platform also includes:
- Content creation. Draft content built to close the gaps the monitoring layer surfaces, as a $149 per client brand/mo add-on.
- Website audits. Technical checks against pages the platform scans for AI-readiness issues.
- AI bot traffic analytics. Logs of which AI crawlers visit a site, how often, and which pages they hit.
- Backlink and mention work. Outreach and tracking aimed at the citations that feed AI answers.
- A built-in AI SEO agent. One feature among the set above, capable of drafting fixes, such as FAQ and schema changes, from the recommendations the platform generates. It sits inside the workflow rather than defining it.
Pricing, as of November 2026
Two published plans, billed monthly in USD ($), with custom pricing above 1,000 prompts:
| Plan | Price | AI models | Prompts | Content | Pages audited |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch (pitches only) | $10/mo | 3 per pitch | 10 per pitch, no daily tracking | Not available | Any domain |
| Growth (125 prompts) | $199/mo | 8 (4 included, 4 add-ons) | 125 | $149 per client brand/mo add-on | 1,000,000 |
| Growth (350 prompts) | $499/mo | 8 (4 included, 4 add-ons) | 350 | $149 per client brand/mo add-on | 1,000,000 |
Yearly billing brings each Growth price down by 15%. Growth also scales through 250 prompts at $349/mo, 500 at $649/mo, 750 at $899/mo, and 1,000 at $1,149/mo. It ships with unlimited client brands, unlimited users, and unlimited recommendations. That structure sets Temso apart from most of the category: agencies can run every client brand on one account without a per-client or per-seat fee.
One caveat worth flagging: Launch covers pitch projects only, with no daily client tracking, and Growth includes four engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. An agency that needs daily tracking should treat Growth at $199/mo as the real entry point, and one that needs Claude, Perplexity, Grok, or Muse should budget for those add-ons.
Where it scores highest
Temso’s ease-of-use and value-for-money scores are the highest in this directory, and neither is close. The guided setup takes about five minutes and asks nothing of a new user beyond connecting a domain and a competitor list. Recommendations arrive ranked by impact rather than as an undifferentiated list, which shortens the path from report to action.
On value, the absence of per-client or per-seat fees changes the unit economics for any agency larger than one person. A ten-person agency on Growth pays under $20 per seat per month for four included engines, audits, and bot analytics combined, with content tooling as a $149 per client brand/mo add-on. Few other entries in this directory bundle that much scope at that price.
Where it scores lower
Coverage sits at 23 of 25 points because Temso includes four engines and sells four more as add-ons, which is fewer out of the box than the eight-plus engines some specialist trackers report. Execution loses one point because Temso is not a full SEO suite: Growth includes backlink checks and search query tracking, but traditional SEO suites still handle rank tracking better on their own. Transparency loses one point because Temso is a newer entrant with a shorter public review history than Semrush or Ahrefs, so buyers have less third-party evidence to check pricing and support claims against.
Who should use it
Temso fits agencies managing multiple client brands, in-house agencies that run a portfolio of brands, and agencies that expect to scale from a few clients to many without re-platforming. It fits less well for buyers who specifically need the deepest per-engine citation analytics available and can justify paying more for that depth, or for teams that only need a classic keyword rank tracker. Temso sells only to agencies, so a single brand or in-house marketing team gets it through an agency that runs it.
