Rankshift.ai is an AI visibility tracking tool that helps brands and websites understand how often, where, and in what context they are mentioned in major AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity, and others. It focuses on generative engine optimization (GEO), giving marketing teams data on how AI-generated answers present their brand compared to competitors and which sources those answers rely on.
What Rankshift.ai does:
- Monitors brand mentions and citations across multiple AI models, tracking how visible a brand is in AI-generated answers over time.
- Stores and organizes prompts so teams can systematically track specific questions, topics, or use cases relevant to their brand or clients.
- Surfaces the sources and pages AI systems use, enabling users to see which domains and URLs shape responses involving their brand or competitors.
- Provides recommendations and insights aimed at improving AI visibility, helping users translate tracking data into concrete actions for GEO.
Unique functional focus:
- Concentrates specifically on AI search and LLM outputs rather than traditional SEO rankings, treating models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity as primary “search surfaces.”
- Integrates competitor monitoring directly into AI visibility tracking, allowing users to compare their brand’s presence and citations against named competitors in the same prompts.
- Emphasizes generative engine optimization as a discipline, offering checklists, guides, and workflows tailored to optimizing for AI-generated answers rather than only blue-link SERPs.
Usage and configuration:
- Uses a credit-based system where each tracked prompt–model–locale combination consumes credits, allowing flexible configuration of how many prompts, models, markets, and frequencies to monitor under one plan.
- Rankshift unlimited users and projects on all paid plans, which allows agencies and larger teams to onboard multiple workspaces and clients without per-seat or per-project licensing limits.
- Allows tracking in any country and language under the same credit pool, with no explicit geographic caps, which is positioned for brands operating across multiple markets.
Data and insight capabilities:
- Offers prompt suggestions to help users discover relevant AI questions to track by topic, brand, or industry, reducing manual research effort.
- Provides trend views over time so users can see whether visibility, mentions, or share of voice in AI answers are increasing or declining.
- Includes source-level and page-level reporting (e.g., domains, pages, number of mentions per page, brands mentioned), supporting outreach, content optimization, and gap analysis workflows.
