What does Writesonic do?
Writesonic is now an AI search visibility platform: it tracks how ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews mention your brand, then helps you close gaps with AI articles, site audits and outreach. Starter is $79/mo billed yearly. It suits marketing teams chasing AI citations; skip it if you just want a cheap AI writer.
- AI visibility tracking. Runs your tracked prompts in AI assistants every day and reports how often your brand appears, which sources get cited and, from Growth, the sentiment of answers.
- Action Center. Ranks fixes by likely impact on visibility and citations, such as missing prompts, citation gaps, content fixes and technical issues; a trial on Growth, full on Enterprise.
- AI article writer and content agent. Writes 15 to 50 articles a month by plan, and rewrites existing pages with FAQ blocks, comparison tables and self-contained answers.
- Site audits for AI crawlers. Checks robots.txt, schema, indexing and broken pages, including errors that bots such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot hit on your site.
- Citation outreach. Finds Reddit threads, YouTube videos and listicles that cite your competitors and drafts outreach messages.
- Writing styles (brand voice). Saves 1, 5 or 10 writing styles by plan so AI content follows your tone.
- AI search data. AI search volume runs on Basic and Growth, plus Brand Explorer, Prompt Explorer and alerts on Enterprise, built on a dataset Writesonic describes as 2 billion+ AI conversations.
- Integrations. Google Search Console, WordPress, Google Keyword Planner and SERP data on every plan; Looker Studio and GA4 on Enterprise; API and MCP listed on the homepage.
