Frequently Asked Questions
What makes AI Rankia different from Otterly, Peec AI, or Profound?
Most competitors focus only on monitoring — they tell you where you stand but not what to do. AI Rankia combines
monitoring (17+ AI models, the most in the market) with actionable tools: a Schema Creator, LLM Readiness Audit,
Citation Finder, Query Fan-Out analysis, and a full Action Center with prioritized tasks.

How many AI models does AI Rankia track?
17+ models across two categories:
Native — Explorer (with web search): GPT 5 Web Search, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, Perplexity Sonar, Gemini
Search, Claude Search, Grok 4.1 Search. These simulate real user searches.
Non-native — Voyager (API): DeepSeek v3, DeepSeek R1, Llama 4 Maverick, Claude Sonnet 4, GPT 5, Grok 4, Baidu Ernie 4.5,
Qwen 3, Mistral Medium, Kimi K2. These query models from training data.
We add new models as they launch.
Does AI Rankia work in my language?
Yes. You can set prompts in any language and target any country. Real example from the platform: the prompt "cuales son
las mejores herramientas para geo seo?" is monitored weekly targeting Germany. AI Rankia is used by brands in English,
Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and more.
Is there a free trial?
When you sign up, you get a free visibility report and 50 credits to test every tool. No credit card required. This is
enough to set up a Brand Project, monitor a few prompts, run an LLM Readiness Audit (3 credits), and explore the
research tools.
What are credits and how do they work?
Credits power every tool. Your plan includes a monthly allowance (720 on Starter, up to 27,000 on Premium). Costs range
from 1 credit (SEO queries, action plan) to 50 credits (Mentions Opportunities). See How Credits Work for the complete
table.
Can I use AI Rankia for multiple brands or clients?
Yes. The Plus plan ($249/mo) supports 3 workspaces with 5 seats each, and the Premium plan ($699/mo) supports up to 10
workspaces with 25 seats — ideal for agencies. Each workspace has its own Brand Project, prompts, and credit tracking.
How often are prompts monitored?
You choose per prompt: daily or weekly. Each run consumes credits based on the models selected. Daily monitoring gives
faster trend detection but uses more credits.
Does AI Rankia integrate with other tools?
- REST API at api.airankia.com (Premium plans) for programmatic access
- MCP Server for AI agent integration (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
- CSV export from any dashboard table
- Data export to build custom reports in Google Sheets, Looker Studio, or BI tools
- Google Search Console and Looker Studio integrations coming soon
What is Query Fan-Out and why does it matter?
When you ask an AI "best CRM for small businesses," the AI decomposes it into 8-12 sub-queries like "CRM pricing for
startups," "easiest CRM to set up," "CRM with email marketing." Your content needs to cover these sub-queries to get
cited. AI Rankia's Query Fan-Out tool (5 credits) shows you the exact sub-queries, and you can enrich each one (1
credit) to see if your brand appears.
What does the Brand Project setup require?
The Brand Project captures: brand name, website URL, industry, business subcategory, entity type, business description,
product/service offering, main country, other countries, competitors (up to 10), brand name variations, social media
links, and a brand call-to-action. This data powers all AI analysis and prompt suggestions.
Is my data secure?
AI Rankia uses encrypted connections (HTTPS), is GDPR-ready, and never uses your data to train AI models. Each
workspace's data is isolated. VPN/proxy detection protects against abuse.
