AI Ranked is a publication about AI search. It covers how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews choose which sources to cite, and what site owners, marketers and developers can do about it. The topics are GEO (generative engine optimization), AEO (answer engine optimization) and AI visibility in general.
What you will find
Sourced guides on how AI answer engines pick, rank and quote sources, written in plain language with every claim linked to its origin.
Original research with open data. One example is a robots.txt study of 261 major websites checked against 14 AI crawlers, which found that 22.6% of them block GPTBot.
A glossary of AI search terms, so you can look up what a crawler, a citation or an AI Overview actually means, plus news on changes to AI crawlers, user agents and answer engines as they happen.
Free tools, no signup
AI Ranked also publishes free no-signup tools that run in your browser.
The citability grader scores a page on how easy it is for an AI engine to quote.
The robots.txt AI crawler checker reads any robots.txt and shows which of 21 AI user agents it allows or blocks, including GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot and Bytespider. For every result it shows the rule behind it and offers ready-made rules to copy.
The llms.txt generator builds an llms.txt file for your site, and the schema generator produces structured data that AI engines and search engines can read.
Nothing you paste into the tools is sent to a server. Everything runs locally in your browser, and there is no account to create.
Who it is for
Content teams, SEO and marketing people, founders and developers who want their site to show up and get cited when someone asks an AI assistant a question. If you publish on the web and care about where the next wave of search traffic comes from, AI Ranked is written for you.
