Everything you're wondering

Or ask us anything at hello@zerorank.ai

How does ZeroRank know what AI says about my brand?

We run your prompts against the live models every day and read the answers back — the text, the sources cited, and the tone. Nothing is inferred from search rankings or modelled from proxies.

Isn't this just SEO with a new name?

No. Traditional SEO optimizes for a list of links. AI search returns a shortlist and a reason, built from prompts, citations and sentiment. Different signals, different data model. We built for that from the start rather than adding a tab to a ranking tool.

Which AI platforms do you track?

ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Grok. New engines are added as they reach meaningful traffic, and your plan price doesn't change when they are.

What makes this different from the enterprise platforms?

Scope and price. The suites bolt AI visibility onto a legacy SEO product and charge per seat. ZeroRank does one job, and every plan has unlimited seats.

Can't I just ask ChatGPT myself?

You can, once. Answers shift with phrasing, session and day, so a single check tells you very little. We sample the same prompts repeatedly and show you the pattern.

How long before I see results?

You'll see where you stand in about 30 seconds. Moving the number takes longer — most teams earn their first new citations inside four to six weeks.

Can I use this for client work?

Yes. Unlimited seats means clients sit in the workspace at no extra cost, and reports export white-labelled.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Run a full report on your domain before you enter a card.
