What SEOmonitor changed

• API access is now restricted to the Pro plan instead of being available to all users.
• The Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool, which lets users ask AI questions about their data, is now exclusive to the Pro plan.
• The illustrative data table was updated with new dates, shifting the timeline forward by two days.

The company is restricting access to its advanced AI and integration tools. Previously, these features were included in every plan, but they are now gated behind the "Pro" tier.

• Added a new "AI Search" tracking layer for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
• Introduced a "Google vs. AI" visibility chart to compare performance across channels.
• Replaced the "AI Content Writer" focus with "SEOmonitor MCP" to feed data into AI assistants.
• Updated competitor intelligence to automatically track any brand mentioned in AI answers, even if not previously shortlisted.
• Changed the core value proposition from "getting more data" to "powering one strategy for Google and AI Search."

The platform has shifted from a traditional SEO focus to a "connected search strategy." It now treats AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity as primary search channels alongside Google, allowing users to compare visibility gaps between traditional search and AI answers.

• Added a new "AI Visibility Index" tool that is free to use.
• Added a top banner promoting the new index to check brand standing in AI search.
• Inserted a new section explaining that the index tracks mentions and citations across AI platforms.
• Updated several internal links to use the full "www" URL structure.

SEOmonitor is using a free tool to capture leads interested in AI search tracking. They are positioning themselves as the primary way to measure brand mentions in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.
