AI Ranked Pro

AI Ranked is a publication and free toolset covering generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO) and AI visibility. It publishes original research on how ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude select the sources they cite. The site is aimed at B2B marketing and SEO teams that want their content retrieved and quoted in AI-generated answers. It combines news, studies with downloadable datasets, plain guides and browser-based tools.

What is AI Ranked?

AI Ranked is a publication about AI search. It runs its own studies, such as a citation study of 132 buyer queries for B2B software and a crawler access study covering 261 large websites, and publishes the method and the CSV alongside the findings. Alongside research it maintains engine-by-engine breakdowns showing where each assistant sources its answers, which crawler has to reach a site, and what the first fix is.

Someone starts by picking the question they arrived with. The site groups entry points into access, measurement and content: whether AI engines can read a site, whether they name a brand, and what gets a page cited. From there a visitor can run a free tool in the browser, read a guide, or follow the news feed. The free tools include a citability grader, an AI crawler robots.txt checker, an llms.txt generator and a schema generator.

Pricing

The site does not publish a pricing table. Its research, guides, news and browser-based tools are presented as free, and the tools run locally so nothing pasted into them is sent anywhere. Research data is published with the CSV and described as free to reuse with a link. The site notes that it compares agencies and software on what they do and what they cost, but it does not state its own rates or any paid tier. Any commercial terms would be announced through the site or its LinkedIn page.

FAQ

How do I check if ChatGPT mentions my brand?

The site suggests writing 20 to 50 questions buyers would ask, running each in ChatGPT with search on, and recording whether the brand is named, linked or absent. It notes answers vary between runs, so each prompt should be run more than once.

Does AI Ranked charge for its tools?

The tools are described as free and run in the browser, with nothing pasted into them sent anywhere. No pricing table or paid tier is published on the site, so any commercial terms are not documented there.

What data does the research use?

Studies are based on the site's own measurements, such as 132 buyer queries and 742 citations in the AI Overview citation study, and 261 major websites in the crawler access study. Methods and CSV files are published alongside the findings.
