# RankVyze — A $99, 45-day answer engine optimization sprint: manual research, audit, and reviewable fixes. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/rankvyze (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-26 RankVyze is a product launch directory and answer engine optimization service whose analysts research buyer prompts on four AI engines, audit the site, and deliver approved fixes over a 45-day sprint. It also publishes free AI visibility tools. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://rankvyze.com | | Price | from $99/one time | | Free tier | Yes | Free AEO scan of a homepage and a free AI Rank Checker, both with no account or card; the checker allows three checks per UTC day per connection, at least one minute apart, with a shared daily limit and answers cached up to six hours. A free directory listing is also free forever. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Analysts run an agreed prompt set through four engines in signed-out sessions and record who is named, in what position, and which pages are cited; checks are manual rather than API-driven. > We run the questions your buyers ask through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, in signed-out sessions, and record who gets named, in what position, and which pages get cited. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · The engagement section, step 1 'Measure where you actually stand' **Optimises your content** · Yes — The sprint includes a scored audit across six categories in which each finding names the specific gap and the specific fix on the pages you already have, rather than issuing a grade. > Six categories, scored: entity clarity, structured data, content coverage, technical rendering, crawler access and corroboration. Every finding names the specific gap and the specific fix, not a grade. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · The engagement section, step 2 'Audit the signals engines read' **Generates content** · Yes — Implementation covers new content written to answer buyer questions the site does not currently answer, delivered as reviewable content changes rather than as a drafting tool the buyer operates. > Schema, rendering, crawler policy, homepage entity definition and the content that answers questions nothing on your site currently answers. Delivered as reviewable code and content changes > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · The engagement section, step 3 'Implement the fixes' **Publishes to your site** · Partly — Changes reach the live site only through a pull request your own team merges, and CMS routes are uneven: GitHub is best supported today while Shopify and WordPress connections are still being rolled out. > Any website for research and audits. For implementation, GitHub-hosted sites are best supported today; Shopify and WordPress connections are being rolled out. > — https://rankvyze.com/faq · FAQ, 'Which platforms do you support?' **Technical AEO** · Yes — Schema, server-side rendering and crawler policy are explicit implementation deliverables, and structured data recommendations follow public specifications rather than anything proprietary to the vendor. > Schema, rendering, crawler policy, homepage entity definition and the content that answers questions nothing on your site currently answers. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · The engagement section, step 3 'Implement the fixes' **Done-for-you service** · Yes — This is a done-for-you engagement rather than a dashboard: RankVyze analysts perform the research by hand and the vendor's own engineers author the implementation changes for the customer to approve. > Our analysts research each prompt manually and record what the engines said. This is slower but more faithful to what real users see. > — https://rankvyze.com/faq · FAQ, 'Do you use the engines' APIs?' ## Answer engines **ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT is one of the four engines the sprint researches at baseline and re-measures at day 45, with OAI-SearchBot indexing named as the specific surface optimised for. > ChatGPT — OAI-SearchBot indexing and search-backed answers > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section, ChatGPT card **Perplexity** · Yes — Perplexity is one of the four researched engines, and the vendor singles out citation share on it as the fastest-moving signal it tracks during the sprint. > Perplexity — Citation share, the fastest-moving signal > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section, Perplexity card **Gemini** · Yes — Gemini is one of the four researched engines; the vendor frames its work there around Google-Extended crawler access and eligibility for Google's generated answers. > Gemini — Google-Extended and AI Overviews eligibility > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section, Gemini card **Google AI Overviews** · Partly — AI Overviews appears only as an eligibility target inside the Gemini workstream, not as one of the four engines whose answers are recorded at baseline and re-measured, so it does not count toward the guarantee. > Gemini — Google-Extended and AI Overviews eligibility > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section, Gemini card **Google AI Mode** · No — Google's AI Mode is absent from the vendor's complete statement of engine coverage, which names exactly four engines; the free checker page also states outright that it does not query Google's search results. > Which engines we optimize for. The four that answer commercial questions today. Each has its own crawler, its own controls and its own idea of who to recommend. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section heading and standfirst above the four engine cards (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) **Claude** · Yes — Claude is one of the four researched engines in the paid sprint and is also the single engine behind the free public AI Rank Checker, which queries the Anthropic API with web search. > Claude — ClaudeBot access and entity recall > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section, Claude card **Microsoft Copilot** · No — Microsoft Copilot is not among the four engines the vendor states it covers, and it appears nowhere in the sprint deliverables or the guarantee, which is judged on those four alone. > Which engines we optimize for. The four that answer commercial questions today. Each has its own crawler, its own controls and its own idea of who to recommend. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section heading and standfirst above the four engine cards (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) **Grok** · No — Grok is not covered on any tier; the vendor's own comparison page treats broader engine counts as a reason to buy a competing monitoring tool instead, naming Grok coverage explicitly as something rarely decisive. > Four covers almost everyone. Six or seven looks better on a comparison table but adds cost, and Grok or AI Mode coverage is rarely what decides a deal. > — https://rankvyze.com/ai-visibility-tools · Four questions section, 'How many engines matter to your buyers?' **DeepSeek** · No — DeepSeek is absent from the vendor's stated four-engine coverage and from every page describing the sprint; there is no tier, add-on or roadmap item that adds it. > Which engines we optimize for. The four that answer commercial questions today. Each has its own crawler, its own controls and its own idea of who to recommend. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section heading and standfirst above the four engine cards (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) **Meta AI** · No — Meta AI is not one of the four engines the vendor commits to, and the refund guarantee is explicitly settled against two of those four rather than any wider set of assistants. > Which engines we optimize for. The four that answer commercial questions today. Each has its own crawler, its own controls and its own idea of who to recommend. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Coverage section heading and standfirst above the four engine cards (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) **Coverage in the vendor’s words** · Yes — The vendor states a closed set of four engines for every customer with no tiering by engine count, and the refund is settled against being mentioned on at least two of those same four. > RankVyze is $99 once for a 45-day sprint, refunded in full if your business isn't mentioned on at least 2 of the four engines by the end of it. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · FAQ, 'How much does answer engine optimization cost?' ## What it reports **Names the cited sources** · Yes — Every research session records whether one of your pages was cited as a source, and citation rate carries 30% of the published visibility score, so cited URLs are a first-class output rather than a footnote. > whether your brand was mentioned, at what position, whether a page of yours was cited, which competitors were named, and a short summary of the answer > — https://rankvyze.com/docs · Research section, description of what each session records **Competitor tracking** · Yes — Each recorded answer captures which competitors the engine named alongside or instead of you, and competitor tracking is listed as an included deliverable of the sprint. > Competitor, prompt and citation tracking > — https://rankvyze.com/pricing · AI Visibility Sprint section, included-deliverables list **Recommendations** · Yes — The product is explicitly positioned as fixing rather than charting: audit issues become planned optimizations with effort estimates, and changes arrive as diffs the customer approves. > Issue → Optimization: every issue can become a planned optimization with an effort estimate. > — https://rankvyze.com/docs · Optimization workflow section, first bullet **AI crawler analytics** · No — Crawler access is scored as one of six audit categories, but the vendor offers no log analysis or bot-traffic dashboard; its own guide tells readers to use their server logs themselves to investigate crawler failures. > Audits score six categories from 0–100: AI Understanding, Content, Structured Data, Technical Accessibility, Entity Signals and Authority. > — https://rankvyze.com/docs · AEO Audit section, opening sentence listing the complete category set _Not established: Brand sentiment, Wrong answers about you_ ## Plans and signing up **Prompt or credit allowance** · Partly — The free Claude checker publishes a hard cap of three checks per day per connection, while the paid sprint publishes no included prompt count at all — only a recommendation that ten to twenty prompts is enough. > Each connection can run three checks per UTC day, at least one minute apart. A shared daily limit also applies. > — https://rankvyze.com/ai-rank-checker · FAQ, 'Is the AI rank checker free?' **How often it checks** · Partly — The sprint itself is measured twice — a day-zero baseline and a re-measurement at day 45 — while the FAQ describes a monthly research cadence with faster runs on named plans the pricing page does not sell. > Monthly on all plans, with more frequent runs on Growth and Scale. You can add prompts at any time; they're included in the next run. > — https://rankvyze.com/faq · FAQ, 'How often is research updated?' **Card required to start** · No — The homepage AEO scan runs without an account or a card, the free AI Rank Checker requires no signup, and the free directory listing states plainly that no credit card is needed. > Free instant scan of your homepage. No account, no card. > — https://rankvyze.com/answer-engine-optimization · Hero section, line beneath the headline **Self-serve signup** · Partly — Free tools and the scan need no contact at all, but the paid launch, advertising and directory services start as a request the vendor confirms manually before any payment or delivery. > Good work starts with a clear brief. Paid plans begin with a request. We confirm scope, availability and payment before work starts. No automatic charge or publication. > — https://rankvyze.com/pricing · Launch plans section, note beneath the three plan cards _Not established: Projects or brands, Countries_ ## Access and integrations **API** · No — No public API is documented anywhere on the site, and the vendor's own comparison page lists wanting raw data in your warehouse via an API as a reason to buy a competing tool instead. > Buy a tool above if… You want the raw data in your own warehouse via an API. > — https://rankvyze.com/ai-visibility-tools · Disclosure section, 'Buy a tool above if…' list **BI export** · No — There is no warehouse, Looker or Power BI destination described; the vendor directs buyers who want raw responses in their own data warehouse to other platforms or to building it themselves. > You want the raw responses in your own data warehouse — build it against an API. > — https://rankvyze.com/ai-brand-mentions · RankVyze section, 'Don't buy RankVyze if' list _Not established: MCP server_ ## Provenance Every fact above comes from the vendor.
