The problem

Search stopped being a list of links.

When someone asks AI a question, they get one answer, not ten blue links. If a model cannot read your site, or does not trust it enough to cite, you are not on page two. You are nowhere. Most sites were built for the search of 2015, not the answer engines of today.

What we measure

Four pillars of AI visibility.

01AEOAnswer Engine Optimization

Structure your content so engines can lift a clear, direct answer. Strong titles, real depth, lists, and FAQ patterns are what get pulled into AI answers.

02GEOGenerative Engine Optimization

Make your pages easy for AI models to read, trust, and cite. Open crawler access, an llms.txt file, and entity-level structured data do the heavy lifting.

03SEOSearch Engine Optimization

Keep classic discoverability healthy. Canonicals, Open Graph, sitemaps, and clean metadata still feed the AI answers people see first.

04TechnicalTechnical foundation

The basics engines assume. HTTPS, fast responses, a mobile viewport, and a robots file that does not lock everyone out.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

New to AEO, GEO, and AI visibility? Start here.

01What is AI visibility?

AI visibility is how often and how accurately AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews surface and cite your brand. It is the new front page of search: when someone asks an AI a question, you are either in the answer or you are invisible.

02What is the difference between AEO, GEO, and SEO?

SEO optimizes for ranking links in classic search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures your content so engines can extract a direct answer. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes your pages easy for AI models to read, trust, and cite in generated answers. You need all three now, and they overlap more than they conflict.

03How does the free audit work?

You enter your domain and we fetch your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, and llms.txt, then score four pillars: AEO, GEO, SEO, and Technical. You get an overall grade and a prioritized list of fixes in seconds. The audit uses only public signals, so there is nothing to install.

04Is the audit really free?

Yes. The instant score and your top fixes are free with no account. Enter your email to unlock the full prioritized report. The deeper platform with step-by-step playbooks and tracking is what we charge for.

05Which AI engines do you optimize for?

We focus on the engines people actually use to get answers: ChatGPT and OpenAI search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. We also keep classic Google and Bing search healthy, since they still feed many AI answers.

06What is llms.txt and do I need it?

llms.txt is a simple text file at the root of your site that gives AI models a clean, curated map of your most important pages. It is an emerging convention, and adding one is a low-effort, high-signal way to help AI engines understand and cite you. Our audit checks whether you have one.

07Who is ZTrank for?

ZTrank is for founders, marketers, and SEO teams who can see that search is shifting to AI answers and want a clear, prioritized path to stay visible. If you publish content and care about being found, the audit will show you where you stand.
