AI Ranking pulls the buyer queries you already win in Search Console, strips out anything containing your brand or a competitor's, and measures whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity cite you for the survivors. Every result is labeled with one of four citation states. No synthetic prompts. No brand name in any query. No guesswork.
Every other AI visibility tool starts the same way: a marketer types in a list of prompts they think buyers might ask, then watches whether AI mentions the brand. The prompts are guesses. The measurement is theatre.
AI Ranking starts from your Search Console. The queries you already get organic impressions on are the queries buyers are already asking. No guessing. No synthetic prompt curation. No drift between what you measure and what your buyers actually search for.
Then five independent brand-safety checks remove every query that carries your brand, a competitor's brand, or your domain name. The first catches your name spelled out. The fifth catches a query that describes your brand without ever spelling it. Nothing slips through. By the time a query reaches an AI model, it is a clean buyer-intent question with no name in it.
The top 30 highest-impact survivors fan out to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Every result is labeled with one of four citation states. Cited with URL. Name only. Descriptive only. Not mentioned. That is the unbiased measurement of where you stand.
Connects to your Google Search Console (read-only) and pulls every query that drove an impression in the last 28 days. No prompts to write, no keywords to maintain. Your evidence is your real organic traffic.
Removes every query containing your brand name, a competitor's name, or your domain. Five independent checks, running from your name spelled out through misspellings, an AI review, a final gate at send time, and a meaning-level match, guarantee zero brand-name leakage to the AI models.
The 30 highest-impact queries are asked of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Every query on every model is saved with the full answer text, so you can read exactly what the AI said, not just the score it produced.
Each response is classified into one of four citation states: Cited with link, Named only, Described but not named, or Not mentioned. The dashboard shows a per-query breakdown, a per-model breakdown, and the raw response text behind every label.
AI Ranking only ever measures queries you already get organic impressions on. The result is grounded in your actual search demand, not a marketer's guess about what buyers might ask.
Five independent checks guarantee no query reaching an AI model contains your brand, your competitor, or your domain. This is the only honest way to measure visibility, typing your own brand into ChatGPT is like asking a mirror if you're handsome.
Every result is labeled Cited with link, Named only, Described but not named, or Not mentioned. Described but not named, where AI lays out your exact category position without ever saying your name, is the recoverable layer most other tools miss.
The queries that clear those checks are ranked by impact (impressions weighted by the click potential of your current position) and capped at 30 per run. You measure the queries that move the needle, not every long-tail tail that GSC happened to log.
A full run takes hours. It is broken into short resumable steps, so a hiccup partway through never costs you the run, and you watch it move through 4 named stages with a live percent-complete bar instead of staring at a spinner.
Starter 20 runs/week, Growth 50, Agency 100, plus a 7-day cooldown per brand between manual runs. Hard ceiling of 200 queries per run regardless of tier. Cost protection is built into the architecture, not bolted on.
Traditional rank tracking covers Google. AI Ranking covers what AI models say to the same buyer queries. Layer it on top of your existing GSC reporting to show clients which of their winning organic queries lose visibility inside ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Your top 30 GSC queries already tell you what category buyers ask about. AI Ranking shows you which of those are now answered by AI, and whether your brand is in the answer or your competitor is.
Each client's run uses their own GSC, their own brand-safety terms, and their own competitor list. Agency tier gives 100 runs per week and admin-force re-runs for one-off urgent reports.
If you can see organic impressions in Search Console, AI Ranking can measure your AI visibility on those exact queries. No new keyword research, no manual prompt curation, no maintenance.
20 AI Ranking runs per week, 4 AI models, 7-day cooldown per brand.
50 AI Ranking runs per week, 4 AI models, 7-day cooldown per brand.
100 AI Ranking runs per week, all 4 AI models, admin-force re-runs available.
Pre-built prompts are guesses. Real Search Console queries are evidence: these are the questions buyers are already asking that drive traffic to your site. AI Ranking measures whether AI models recommend you for the exact queries your buyers actually use, not the ones a marketer at TopSlot imagined.
No query containing your brand name, a competitor's name, or your domain name is allowed to reach an AI model. Five independent checks run in order: exact name match, misspellings that are one character off, an AI review of anything still standing, a final gate the instant before a query is sent, and a meaning-level match that catches queries describing your brand without ever naming it. The first check that fires removes the query. The result: an unbiased measurement of whether AI cites you when buyers don't already know your name.
Yes. On Growth and Agency, AI Ranking runs Google’s AI Overview as an additive fifth column alongside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, on the same real Search Console query set, so you see whether Google’s AI answer cites you right next to the four chat models. For standalone weekly or on-demand AI Overview tracking on your buyer prompts, the AI Search Tracker covers it too.
Every query on every model is labeled as one of: Cited with link (your site appears as a clickable source), Named only (your brand name appears with no link), Described but not named (the answer describes exactly what you do without ever saying your name), or Not mentioned. Four states give you a far sharper picture than a simple mentioned or not. Described but not named is the recoverable one, convertible into a named citation with the right schema and content fixes.
AI Ranking runs are expensive. A single Growth-tier run fans 30 queries across 4 models for 120 model calls and pulls fresh data from your Search Console connection. A 7-day cooldown per brand keeps your weekly cap meaningful and prevents accidental cost runaway. Admin-force overrides are available on Agency for one-off re-runs.
AI Ranking surfaces a clear humanized error like "Your Google Search Console connection has expired. Reconnect to continue." Your run state is preserved, no data is lost, and re-connecting through Settings restores access. Brands without GSC connected can still use the rest of the platform — AI Ranking is the only feature that requires it.
