Rankshift

What is Rankshift?

Rankshift is an AI-visibility tracking platform built by Rankshift BV, a company registered in Deerlijk, Belgium. It tracks brand and competitor presence across nine AI engines — ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Mistral and Meta AI — and pairs visibility scores with an "Agent Analytics" feature that logs real AI-crawler activity (bot name, page path, HTTP status) rather than relying on prompt-and-answer sampling alone. It says it is used by more than 850 marketing teams, including client logos from mobiel.nl, Luminus, Raisin and TVH, and agencies including Team Lewis and SmartSites.

What does Rankshift do?

You add the prompts and topics you want tracked; Rankshift runs them on a schedule across its nine supported AI engines and reports brand/competitor visibility, sentiment, citation sources and share-of-voice trends, with refresh cadence and daily prompt volume scaling by plan (150/day on Starter up to 850/day on Business). Its Agent Analytics module separately monitors real AI-crawler bot traffic against your own site (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google and Bing bots, and others), showing exactly which pages each bot hit and the HTTP status returned — evidence a pure prompt-sampling tracker cannot show. A Content Brief Generator turns a visibility gap into a structured, heading-level outline aimed at prompts likely to earn citations, and a companion AI Content Writer drafts from that brief; independent reviewers report this content-generation side of the product is newer and rougher than its tracking core. Every self-serve tier (Starter/Professional/Business) includes unlimited projects and seats, MCP/API access, and Looker Studio integration for custom reporting; a 30-day free trial precedes any payment, and usage is metered by a monthly credit allotment (9,500 on Starter up to 53,000 on Business) rather than a hard prompt cap alone.

How Rankshift works

1. 1Add the prompts and topics to track; Rankshift runs them on a schedule across all nine supported AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Mistral and Meta AI.
2. 2Review reported brand/competitor visibility, sentiment, citation sources and share-of-voice trends, with refresh cadence and daily prompt volume scaling by plan (150/day on Starter up to 850/day on Business).
3. 3Cross-check a reported visibility change against Agent Analytics' real AI-crawler logs — bot name, page path, HTTP status — to confirm bots are actually re-crawling the pages that changed.
4. 4Use the Content Brief Generator to turn a visibility gap into a structured, heading-level content outline aimed at prompts likely to earn citations, then draft from that brief with the companion AI Content Writer.

Who is Rankshift for?

• Marketing and SEO teams that want the broadest available AI-engine coverage — nine engines including Mistral and Meta AI — plus crawler-log verification.
• Teams that want unlimited projects, seats and MCP/API access bundled into every self-serve tier rather than gated to a custom Enterprise plan.
• Teams comfortable adopting a newer, less-reviewed vendor in exchange for that breadth of coverage.

Key features

• 9-engine AI visibility tracking: Tracks brand and competitor presence across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Mistral and Meta AI.
• Agent Analytics (AI-crawler log monitoring): Logs real AI-bot traffic to your site — bot name, page path, HTTP status — rather than inferring visibility from prompt answers alone.
• Content Brief Generator: Converts a visibility gap into a structured, heading-level content outline aimed at prompts likely to earn AI citations.
• Looker Studio + MCP/API access: Bundled into every self-serve tier (not Enterprise-gated) for custom reporting and programmatic access.

What are Rankshift's use cases?

• Multi-engine competitive benchmarking: A marketing team tracks its own and competitors’ share-of-voice across all nine supported AI engines from one dashboard rather than piecing together single-engine tools.
• Crawler-log verification alongside visibility scores: A team cross-checks a reported visibility gain against Agent Analytics’ real AI-crawler logs to confirm bots are actually re-crawling the pages that were changed.

Rankshift review

The broadest AI-engine coverage in this category (nine platforms, including Mistral and Meta AI) plus a genuinely differentiated Agent Analytics crawler-log feature make Rankshift worth a serious look for teams that want that breadth — but it is a young, still largely unreviewed vendor with a rougher, early-stage content-generation module, so teams that weight public track record heavily should pair it with, or default to, a more established pick like Peec AI, Profound or Otterly AI.

One of the only tools in this index that ties AI-visibility scores directly to real AI-crawler log evidence (bot name, page, HTTP status) rather than prompt-and-answer sampling alone.
