What is AI Rankia?

What is AI Rankia? AI Rankia is a platform that tracks how your brand appears in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and 12+ more AI models. It then tells you exactly what to do to improve your visibility. The problem AI Rankia solves When someone asks ChatGPT "what's the best CRM for small businesses?" or Perplexity "best running shoes for flat feet," AI models generate answers by pulling from web sources. If your brand isn't in those answers, you're invisible to a growing share of searchers. Traditional SEO tools like Semrush and Ahrefs track Google rankings, but they don't track AI search. Dedicated GEO tools like Otterly and Peec track some AI models, but they only show you data — they don't tell you what to fix. AI Rankia does both.

You'll fill in these fields: | Field | Example | Why it matters | |-------|---------|----------------| | Brand Name | "Letsync Tech" | Exact name AI models will look for | | Website | https://letsynctech.com | Used to match citations and URLs | | Industry | Technology, Information and Media | Helps generate relevant prompts | | Business Subcategory | Software Development | Narrows prompt suggestions | | Business Entity Type | Company | Context for AI analysis | | Business Description | "Leading AI-driven software development company..." | Used by the Action Center for recommendations | | Business Offering | "Custom web & mobile solutions, advanced AI solutions..." | Helps AI understand what you sell | | Main Country | India | Targets monitoring to your market | | Other Countries | US, UK (optional) | Multi-market tracking | | Competitors | Turing, BairesDev, Simform... | Compared against in visibility reports | | Brand Name Variations | "Let Sync Tech", "Letsynctech" | Catches alternate spellings | | Language | en | Language for AI prompt monitoring | | Social Media Links | LinkedIn, YouTube, X, etc. (optional) | Used in Author schema generation | Step 3: Add prompts to monitor Go to Prompt Selection to choose what search queries to track. Think like your customer: | Good prompts (what real customers ask AI) | Bad prompts | |-------------------------------------------|-------------| | "What is the best AI SEO platform I can subscribe to today?" | "AI SEO" (too vague) | | "best ai seo tools" | "airankia.com" (just your URL) | | "cuales son las mejores herramientas para geo seo?" | "SEO tool" (single keyword) | Use AI Prompt Discovery in the sidebar to automatically suggest prompts based on your brand and industry. For each prompt, select which AI models to track. Start with 5 native models (GPT 5 Search, AI Overview, AI Mode, Perplexity, Grok) at 1 credit each = 5 credits per run. Step 4: Review your visibility dashboard Go to Prompt Monitoring (the main dashboard at /dashboard). You'll see: - Brand mentions — how often each AI model mentions you - Citation sources — which URLs AI models reference when answering - Competitor comparison — your share of voice vs. competitors - Trend over time — weekly visibility changes Step 5: Get your action plan Go to Action Center → Tasks to see AI-generated recommendations.

GEO, AEO, and AI Search Glossary

GEO, AEO, and 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) — the practice of optimizing your content to appear in AI-generated search results. The AI-era equivalent of SEO. Instead of ranking in a list of 10 blue links, you're optimizing to be mentioned or cited when AI generates an answer. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — often used interchangeably with GEO. Some practitioners distinguish AEO as focused on featured snippets and direct answers, while GEO covers the broader AI search landscape. AI Search — any search experience powered by a large language model. Includes ChatGPT's web search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, and others. LLM (Large Language Model) — the AI model that generates responses. Examples: GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Llama 4, DeepSeek. These models power AI search engines. Visibility metrics Brand mention — when an AI model includes your brand name in its generated response to a query. Citation — when an AI model references a URL from your website as a source for its response. Citations can drive referral traffic. Share of Voice — the percentage of AI responses in your space that mention your brand vs. competitors. The primary competitive metric in AI search. Query Fan-Out — the process where an AI decomposes a single user query into 8-12 sub-queries to gather comprehensive information before generating a response. Understanding fan-out is critical for content strategy. AI search engines Google AI Overviews — AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of Google search results for ~44% of queries. Previously called SGE (Search Generative Experience). Google AI Mode — Google's dedicated AI search experience where the entire results page is AI-generated, including product cards and local business listings. Perplexity — an AI-first search engine that always cites its sources with direct links. Native models — AI models that have their own web search capability (GPT 5 Search, Perplexity, Gemini Search). They simulate what real users experience. Non-native models — AI models accessed via API without web search (DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen). They respond from training data only. Technical terms Schema markup — structured data (JSON-LD format) added to your HTML that helps search engines and AI models understand your content. Uses vocabulary from Schema.org. llms.txt — a text file at your website's root (like robots.txt) that provides AI models with a summary of your site structure and content. An emerging standard. robots.txt — a file that tells web crawlers which pages they can access. Important for AI search because blocking AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) prevents those models from citing your content. E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness. Google's quality framework that AI models also use to evaluate which sources to cite. AI Rankia-specific terms Explorer mode — monitoring using native AI models with web search capability. Produces the most realistic results. Voyager mode — monitoring using non-native AI models via API. Useful for understanding how LLMs respond from training data. Credits — the currency powering all AI Rankia tools. Each action costs a specific number of credits based on complexity. Scheduled prompts — prompts set up for recurring automated monitoring (weekly or daily).
