What is AI Rankia?

AI Rankia is an all-in-one platform for AI search visibility — it shows you how AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok and Google AI Overviews talk about your brand, and gives you the tools to improve it. Traditional SEO tells you how you rank on Google. AI Rankia tells you whether AI engines recommend, mention and cite you — and exactly what to do to earn more of those citations. The idea in one line See where you stand in AI answers → understand the gaps → create the content and citations that close them → watch your visibility grow. AI Rankia walks you through that whole journey in one place. Everything lives under one menu The left sidebar is organized by what you want to do: - AI Visibility — track how visible and how cited your brand is across every major AI engine. - Analytics — go deeper with query-level insight, page performance and web mentions over time. - SEO — the classic research you still need: competitors, keywords, domains and links. - Content — plan and create content designed to be picked up by AI answers. - PR — find the sources AI trusts and run outreach to get cited by them. - Links — discover and acquire the citation links that build authority. - Media — turn your visibility into a shareable media kit. It starts with a Brand Everything in AI Rankia is organized around a Brand — the company or website you want to track. You can manage several brands from one account. Head to the Quick Start Guide to get your first results in minutes.

Brands, Portfolio & Workspaces

AI Rankia is organized around three simple ideas: Brands, your Portfolio, and your Workspace. Brands A Brand is the company or website you want to track in AI search. Each brand keeps its own prompts, competitors, mentions, content and reports — so data never mixes between them. Everything you do in the app happens inside the brand you've selected. Create a brand from the brand switcher in the top-left (+ New Brand) with a name, website and target market. Switch between brands there at any time. Portfolio Your Portfolio is the collection of every brand in your account. It's the home base for teams and agencies managing more than one brand — an at-a-glance view so you can jump into any brand quickly. Workspace Your Workspace holds your plan, credits and team: - Credits — the shared balance that powers monitoring and the AI tools. Track usage under Workspace ▸ Credits. - Members — invite teammates and set their roles under Workspace ▸ Members. - Settings — manage your plan and preferences under Workspace ▸ Settings. Good to know: Credits are shared across every brand in your workspace, so you can spend them wherever you need them most.

GEO, AEO & AI Search Glossary

New to AI search optimization? This glossary covers the key terms you'll encounter in AI Rankia and the industry. Core concepts GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — optimizing your content to appear in AI-generated answers. The AI-era equivalent of SEO: instead of ranking in a list of links, you optimize to be mentioned or cited when AI generates an answer. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — often used interchangeably with GEO. Some use AEO for featured snippets and direct answers, and GEO for the broader AI search landscape. AI Search — any search experience powered by a large language model: ChatGPT web search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude and others. LLM (Large Language Model) — the AI model that generates responses (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek). These power AI search engines. Visibility terms Brand mention — when an AI includes your brand name in its answer. Citation — when an AI references a URL from your site as a source. Citations can drive referral traffic. Share of Voice — the share of AI answers in your space that mention your brand versus competitors. Query Fan-Out — when an AI breaks a single question into several sub-questions to gather information before answering. Understanding fan-out shapes your content strategy. AI search engines Google AI Overviews — AI summaries at the top of Google results for a large share of queries. Google AI Mode — Google's dedicated AI search experience, where the whole results page is AI-generated. Perplexity — an AI-first search engine that always cites its sources. Native vs non-native engines — native engines run their own live web search (the most realistic results); non-native engines answer from training data. AI Rankia tracks both. Technical terms Schema markup — structured data (JSON-LD) added to your HTML that helps AI understand your content. Uses Schema.org vocabulary. llms.txt — a file at your site's root (like robots.txt) that gives AI a summary of your site. An emerging standard. robots.txt — tells crawlers which pages they can access. Blocking AI crawlers prevents those engines from citing you. E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness. A quality framework AI uses to decide which sources to trust. AI Rankia terms Credits — the currency powering AI Rankia's tools. Each action costs a number of credits based on what it does. See Credits & Billing ▸ How Credits Work. Scheduled prompts — prompts set up for recurring automated monitoring, weekly or daily.
