What AY Rank fixes
The machine-readable trust layer behind AI recommendations.
These are the implementation layers that make your brand easier to crawl, parse, validate, cite, and recommend across answer engines.
Check technical GEO depth
Look for sitemap, robots.txt, schema graph, llms.txt, and crawlability work.
Check measurement
Require prompt-level tracking across AI platforms and competitor mentions.
Check proof
Ask for case studies, before/after AI citations, and third-party source inclusion.
Check implementation support
Confirm whether the agency only advises or also ships technical fixes.
Deliverables
A practical backlog, not a vague AI strategy deck.
Each deliverable ties back to a page, prompt, schema, crawler policy, source, or measurable visibility gap.
