Tell us about your brand
A short wizard asks for your brand name, a handful of competitors, and a few buying questions your customers ask AI tools. Takes about three minutes.
AI-search visibility report
When buyers ask AI, does your brand make the shortlist?
We run the buying questions your customers actually type through five grounded AI APIs, watch what they recommend, and ship a $29.99 report showing where you’re losing visibility and what to do next.

How it works
Three steps. One Monday morning.
We run a repeatable test
Behind the scenes we run each prompt three times through current OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and xAI Grok models with web search, capture every answer, and extract every brand citation. No spreadsheets. No screenshots.
You get the receipts
Within fifteen minutes, an emailed editorial report tells you where you’re cited, where your competitors are cited instead, and a prioritized action plan linked to the source evidence we captured.

From the blog
Field notes on AI search.
Working notes on answer engine optimization — how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini decide which brands to recommend, and what the data actually shows.
- State of AI Search 2026: We Asked 5 AI Engines to Recommend Software
We ran 10 buying questions through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok — 3 times each, 150 grounded answers — and counted every brand they named. Every category had a locked shortlist, well-known challengers flickered, and 11 real brands were never named once.
- Which Sources Do AI Engines Cite When Recommending Software?
Across 150 grounded AI answers, we logged every source the engines cited. The pattern is clear: AI recommendations run downstream of review sites, listicles, and niche blogs — not your own homepage. Here are the domains that get cited most.
- What Is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO is the practice of getting your brand recommended inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other answer engines. Here's what it is, how it differs from SEO, and how to start.
- GEO vs SEO vs AEO: What's the Difference?
SEO earns a ranking, AEO earns a citation, and GEO is another name for the same thing. Here's a plain-English breakdown of how the three overlap, where they diverge, and which to invest in.
- How to Get Your Brand Mentioned in ChatGPT
A practical, step-by-step guide to getting ChatGPT to recommend and cite your brand — how it retrieves and chooses sources, the content that gets quoted, and how to measure whether it's working.
- Best AI Search Visibility Tools (2026)
A candid comparison of AI search visibility and AEO tools — Profound, Athena HQ, Brand Radar, openllmrank, and the DIY spreadsheet approach — with the trade-offs on price, depth, and who each is for.
Frequently asked
Questions worth asking.
- What exactly do I get for $29.99?
- One AI-search visibility report, delivered by email within fifteen minutes of payment. It includes citation rates per prompt, a gap analysis versus your competitors, and concrete content recommendations to close the gaps we found. If we can’t generate your report, we refund automatically within an hour.
- Why not just ask ChatGPT myself?
- You can. But AI answers vary run to run, web search results shift, and a single conversation is a sample size of one. We run your prompts multiple times across multiple models with web search, then parse every response for brand mentions. You get the trend, not the anecdote.
- Is this exactly what I will see in the ChatGPT or Claude app?
- No, and any honest visibility tool should say so. We query the providers’ grounded APIs. Consumer apps can use different model versions, system instructions, rollouts, and personalization. The report is a reproducible directional benchmark, not a promise that every user will receive the same answer.
- Will this be a one-time report, or a subscription?
- One-time. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. Purchase another report when you want a fresh snapshot, or use the open-source CLI to run the same workflow on your own schedule.
- Is the underlying CLI open source?
- Yes. The full openllmrank CLI is MIT-licensed on npm. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity, or xAI key and you can self-host the entire system for the cost of a few API calls. We charge for the hosted version because most marketing leads can’t (and shouldn’t need to) run a CLI.
- What if my brand has zero citations?
- You’ll get the most useful report of all. We’ll show you exactly which competitors are getting cited, on which prompts, and — when the provider returns source citations — which pages may be contributing. The empty state is the value — you can’t fix what you can’t see.
