Start with AY Rank
AY Rank is our specialist GEO and AI search agency. GEO is what it does all day, so it runs the program: the audit, the entity work, the citation-building and the monthly reporting.
You start with a free 30-minute audit with its founder. Plans are custom priced, so you get a number on that call, not a rate card.

Why it matters
Buyers now ask, then pick from the answer
Buyers ask ChatGPT, Copilot and Perplexity, then shortlist from what the answer names. A page that is not cited is not on the shortlist. We shape your pages so AI engines can quote them, and we run the same method on our own site.
What we change
- 1
Pages open with the answer
Each key page states the answer in its first 60 words, then adds a table and an FAQ in the wording buyers type.
- 2
The technical layer gets fixed
We add schema that matches the visible text, let AI crawlers in, clean up the HTML and link from your best-cited pages to the pages that sell.
- 3
Every change is measured
Bing AI Performance shows which pages get cited for which queries, so each change targets a gap you can see.
97.4%
Where AI citations land on our site
97.4% of our AI page citations land on /blog (272,175 of 279,326). A buyer who reads an answer taken from a blog post still needs a path to a page that sells. We build that path for you.

The engineering side
Same GEO program. Two very different ways to run it.
AY Rank runs the GEO program. AY Automate builds the schema, crawler access and linking inside your site, as an ongoing partner. Here is how that compares with a typical GEO agency or freelancer.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
How do I optimize my website for AI search engines (GEO)?+
Open each key page with a direct answer in the first 60 words. Add comparison tables and FAQs in buyer wording, match your schema to the visible text, and let AI crawlers in. Then track which pages get cited.
How do I prepare my website for AI search engines?+
Start with a baseline: which pages AI engines cite today, and for which queries. Then fix the pages that sell but get no citations, usually by linking to them from pages that do.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO?+
SEO aims for a ranked link. GEO aims to be quoted in the answer. The basics overlap, so GEO builds on your SEO work.
How do I improve my website's performance in AI search against competitors?+
Compare the pages and queries that get cited, then close the gaps. Bing Webmaster Tools shows your own citations by page and by query, so you start from data.
How do I measure brand visibility in AI search results?+
Count citations by page and query over time. Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance reports daily citations and cited pages for your domain. AY Rank reports citations across AI platforms every month.
