Real Results
Not a projection. What actually happened.
B2B Marketplace
“The marketplace category is brutal. Incumbents have a 20-year head start in SEO. AY Rank found the asymmetry: we could not outrank them on Google in 12 months, but we could leapfrog them in AI search in 6. That is exactly what happened.”

FAQ
How is Perplexity SEO different from ChatGPT SEO?
Perplexity shows its sources as numbered citations directly in the answer, so you can see exactly which pages it quoted and in what order, making it the most transparent AI citation surface to optimize for and measure. ChatGPT surfaces sources less consistently depending on the mode. The underlying fixes overlap (entity clarity, structured data, source-worthy content), but Perplexity gives you the clearest feedback loop on whether they're working.
Do you track our actual citation position in Perplexity, not just whether we appear?
Yes. Monthly citation tracking monitors source citations in Perplexity answers specifically, since Perplexity exposes citation order, which pages appear first carries more weight than a mention buried at the bottom of the list.
Is this only traditional SEO?
No. AY Rank keeps the SEO foundation, but the work is designed for AI search extraction, source selection, entity clarity, and prompt-level visibility.
Which AI platforms does AY Rank optimize for?
AY Rank optimizes for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot by improving crawler access, structured data, content format, and third-party source signals.
What happens in the first month?
The first month establishes the baseline, fixes the highest-risk technical issues, builds the machine-readable trust layer, and creates the next implementation backlog.
