Summary
RankLens is SEO Vendor's AI brand visibility tracker, sampling AI engine answers repeatedly to measure where a brand is recommended, how often it is discovered and which competitors surface instead. It is measurement only, with optimisation and content execution sold as separate managed GEO campaigns.
- Best for
- brands and agencies that want free, broad-engine AI-visibility tracking and are comfortable relying on a not-yet-independently-reviewed product
- Not for
- buyers who need a proven, independently reviewed vendor, a committed pricing roadmap, or real-time (rather than periodic) monitoring
- From
- Free
- Free tier
- YesAccess comes with a free SV account and the homepage invites free reports; the vendor says engines, sampling options and account limits are shown inside the platform rather than published.
What it does
- Monitors AI answers
- YesCore purpose: it samples AI recommendations repeatedly and reports recommendation order, brand discovery, competitor context and a Visibility Index rather than one chat reply.

seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Optimises your content
- NoThe vendor states plainly that RankLens measures and does not act; findings are meant to inform your own content and positioning decisions, with no page-level analysis or change list in the tool.
RankLens is a measurement tool, not an automatic ranking or lead-generation service. Use its findings to prioritize content, brand positioning and…
seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Generates content
- NoRankLens itself writes nothing; the vendor describes it as a measurement tool, and content production sits in the separate Z-SERIES GEO service and other SV content tools.
RankLens is a measurement tool, not an automatic ranking or lead-generation service.
seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Publishes to your site
- NoNo CMS or publishing path exists in a reporting-only product; its outputs are reports and CSV/PDF exports, and the vendor frames execution as managed campaign work instead.
Use RankLens to decide where to investigate and what to improve. Need a team to help execute? Explore SV's managed SEO and GEO campaigns.
seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Technical AEO
- NoNothing in RankLens touches schema, llms.txt or crawler directives; the vendor positions it as measurement and puts on-site change specification in the Z-SERIES GEO service.
RankLens is a measurement tool, not an automatic ranking or lead-generation service.
seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Done-for-you service
- PartlyThe tool is self-serve, but the same vendor sells managed Z-SERIES GEO campaigns from $599/mo in which people do the entity, content and authority work and RankLens supplies the monthly report.
Every plan targets the same major AI engines and includes the GEO dashboard, analysis, audit, change specification, reputation assessment,…

Answer engines
- ChatGPT
- YesChatGPT is covered in several model variants plus a search mode, and the API's engine parameter exposes eight separate OpenAI options to choose between.

seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Perplexity
- YesPerplexity is a selectable engine in both the marketing engine list and the API engine enum, offered as Sonar and as a 'Latest' alias.
8 Perplexity Sonar
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Gemini
- YesGoogle Gemini is covered across three pinned model versions plus a 'Latest' alias, so a report can be run against Gemini specifically.
9 Google Gemini 2.510 Google Gemini 311 Google Gemini 3.1 Pro
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Google AI Overviews
- NoGoogle AI Overviews is not among the 27 documented engine values; Google is represented only by Gemini models, and no Google search surface is selectable for a report.
9 Google Gemini 2.510 Google Gemini 311 Google Gemini 3.1 Pro
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Google AI Mode
- NoGoogle AI Mode is likewise missing from the engine enum; the single search-mode option documented is OpenAI's, not Google's, across all 27 values.
3 OpenAI ChatGPT (Search)
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Claude
- YesAnthropic Claude is a first-class engine choice, listed twice as pinned Sonnet versions and once as a 'Latest' alias in the engine enum.
12 Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.513 Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Microsoft Copilot
- NoMicrosoft Copilot is absent from the complete 27-value engine enum, which enumerates OpenAI, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Llama options and nothing from Microsoft.

seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Grok
- YesxAI Grok appears as three pinned versions plus a 'Latest' alias in the documented engine selector, and the product FAQ names Grok among comparable engines.
14 xAI Grok 415 xAI Grok 4.116 xAI Grok 4.3
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - DeepSeek
- YesDeepSeek is selectable as two pinned versions and a 'Latest' alias, so a brand's visibility can be sampled in DeepSeek answers like any other engine.
17 Deepseek 3.218 Deepseek v4 Pro
seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Meta AI
- NoMeta AI as an assistant is not an option; the enum's only Meta-related entries are Llama models queried directly, and the full 0-26 list ends at Llama (Latest).

seovendor.co/api/ranklens - Coverage in the vendor’s words
- YesThe vendor states coverage of ChatGPT and search modes, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Llama, with the API exposing 27 pinned-version and 'Latest' choices; which engines a given account may select is not published.

What it reports
- Names the cited sources

ranklens.seovendor.co/microsoft-ai-bran… - Competitor tracking
- YesCompetitor comparison is a named feature and an API action: a ranking report returns an id you pass back to retrieve the rival brands surfacing for the same entity.
Compare the businesses appearing around the same entity, their recommendation order and how often they are discovered.
seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Brand sentiment
- PartlyIt measures how precisely engines associate and match the brand - Brand Match, Brand Target, category association - but publishes no sentiment or attribute analysis of what AI says about the brand.
Brand Match The strength of name, URL, spelling, and variant matching across responses and contexts.
seovendor.co/geo-generative-engine-opti… - Recommendations
- NoThe product reports and the buyer decides: the vendor explicitly says it does not act on findings, and recommends its managed campaigns for the execution half.

seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - AI crawler analytics
- NoThe product reads AI responses rather than your server or bot logs; no crawler or bot-hit reporting is described.
RankLens works by modeling realistic entity-probes and reading the AI's responses, not by hacking, unrealistic prompts, or scraping anything private.
seovendor.co/ranklens-llm-rankings - Wrong answers about you
- PartlyBrand-confusion failures are an explicit target of the entity and match analysis, but the vendor describes misspellings, wrong categories and merged companies rather than false factual claims.
AI systems can misspell a brand, connect it to the wrong category, merge it with another company, or recommend a competitor when the request clearly…
