# TrueRanker — SEO suite pairing Google rank tracking with brand-citation monitoring across six AI answer engines. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/trueranker (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-17 TrueRanker is an SEO suite that pairs Google rank tracking with AI-visibility monitoring of brand mentions and citations in AI assistant answers. It re-runs your own prompts on a schedule and stores the full answer text behind every number. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://trueranker.com | | Price | from $14.99/month billed monthly, $12.49/month billed annually | | Free trial | Partly | No standing $0 plan: the vendor answers 'Is there a free version? No. Every plan is paid, and every plan starts with a 14-day trial that does not ask for a card.' Two free no-account tools exist beside it — the AI Content Visibility Checker (one URL, one-off, no history) and the SERP checker (one keyword at a time). ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Core job of the product: your own prompts are re-run against the assistants and each answer is scored for whether it named the brand, linked to the site, and which rival it recommended instead. > TrueRanker re-runs your prompts every week across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · Hero paragraph under 'Track your AI visibility across six engines' **Optimises your content** · Yes — A page-level checker fetches a URL the way an AI crawler does and returns a pass/fail per check plus a prioritised fix list, so it analyses pages you already have rather than only reporting citations. > You get an overall 0–100 score, a pass or fail on each individual check, and a list of fixes ordered by how much each one is costing you. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-content-checker/ · 'How it works' section, step 03 'Read your score and the fix list' **Generates content** · No — The vendor's own inventory of what the suite does lists tracking, monitoring, auditing, research and reporting modules only; no drafting or writing feature appears anywhere on the product pages. > TrueRanker is an all-in-one SEO and AI-visibility suite: keyword rank tracking, local SEO, backlink monitoring, site audits, competitor research and white-label reporting > — https://trueranker.com/ · FAQ, 'What is TrueRanker?' **Publishes to your site** · No — No CMS connection is offered; the only documented integration is Google Search Console for pulling impressions and clicks into reports, and outputs are PDFs, shared URLs and exports. > TrueRanker is an all-in-one SEO and AI-visibility suite: keyword rank tracking, local SEO, backlink monitoring, site audits, competitor research and white-label reporting > — https://trueranker.com/ · FAQ, 'What is TrueRanker?' **Technical AEO** · Yes — The GEO checker tests llms.txt, Schema.org markup, JavaScript-hidden copy, lang/hreflang and local signals, which is the technical half of making a page legible to answer engines. > It combines every individual check on the page — content reachable without JavaScript, structured data, llms.txt, language annotations and local signals > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-content-checker/ · FAQ, 'How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?' **Done-for-you service** · No — TrueRanker sells software, not people: the 'Agency' plan is a seat and volume tier for agencies to use themselves, and the only human help named is a free assisted migration on that plan. > TrueRanker is an all-in-one SEO and AI-visibility suite: keyword rank tracking, local SEO, backlink monitoring, site audits, competitor research and white-label reporting > — https://trueranker.com/ · FAQ, 'What is TrueRanker?' ## Answer engines **ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT is tracked on every paid tier including the $46.80 Starter, and appears as an included engine on each plan card rather than as an upgrade. > Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews;

the rank tracker separately flags whether an Overview appeared for a keyword and named the brand. > One prompt checked across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews counts as one prompt, not seven. > — https://trueranker.com/pricing/ · FAQ, 'Which models count against the limit?' **Google AI Mode** · No — Google AI Mode is absent from the vendor's closed seven-engine inventory, which the pricing FAQ enumerates and caps at seven; the competitor table credits AI Mode to Ahrefs and SE Ranking, not to TrueRanker. > One prompt checked across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews counts as one prompt, not seven. > — https://trueranker.com/pricing/ · FAQ, 'Which models count against the limit?' **Claude** · Partly — Claude is tracked, but not on the entry Starter tier: the Starter plan card greys it out as 'Not included' and it unlocks only from the $82.80 Pro plan upward. > Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; Claude, Grok and DeepSeek unlock on Pro. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'Which plans include AI visibility, and what if I need more prompts?' **Microsoft Copilot** · No — Microsoft Copilot appears nowhere in the seven engines the plan cards and pricing FAQ enumerate, and the vendor's own comparison lists Copilot as an Ahrefs Brand Radar engine rather than one of its own. > One prompt checked across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and Google AI Overviews counts as one prompt, not seven. > — https://trueranker.com/pricing/ · FAQ, 'Which models count against the limit?' **Grok** · Partly — Grok is covered, but the Starter plan card marks it 'Not included'; it becomes available only from Pro, so the cheapest suite tier does not deliver it. > Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; Claude, Grok and DeepSeek unlock on Pro. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'Which plans include AI visibility, and what if I need more prompts?' **DeepSeek** · Partly — DeepSeek is one of the six chat engines but sits behind the Pro tier;

plan cards show 'AI engines 4/7' on Starter and '7/7' on Pro and Agency ## What it reports **Names the cited sources** · Partly — Citations are counted and the cited source is highlighted inside the stored answer text, but the reporting is brand and competitor centric: no inventory of which domains or pages an engine cites generally is documented. > A citation is the engine treating your website as a source and giving the reader a clickable link, which is referral traffic. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'What is the difference between a mention and a citation?' **Competitor tracking** · Yes — Rivals are added per project by brand name or domain and share of voice is computed for each, per engine and per prompt, though the count is capped by plan at three on Starter. > Add competitors per project — Starter 3, Pro 15, Agency unlimited — by brand name or domain, and TrueRanker computes share of voice for each of them per engine, per prompt and over time. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'Can I track my competitors' AI visibility?' **Brand sentiment** · Partly — Each answer is scored positive, neutral or negative per engine, which is tone rather than attributes: no extraction of the qualities or themes a model associates with the brand is described. > Sentiment scored positive, neutral or negative per engine > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · Capabilities section, 'Response auditor' bullet list **Recommendations** · Partly — Prioritised fixes come from the separate page-level GEO checker, not from the prompt tracker itself, which reports scores, stored answers and the prompts where a rival wins but leaves the remedy to you. > Fixes ordered Low, Medium and High by impact > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-content-checker/ · 'Why this is different from SEO' section, bullet list **AI crawler analytics** · No — The crawler audits your own pages for AI readiness;

Is it quoting an old price? (“TrueRanker costs $5” when it actually costs $14.99). > — https://trueranker.com/docs/understanding-your-ai-visibility-results-mentions-vs-citations/ · Section 2A 'The Response Content', bullet list ## Plans and signing up **Prompt or credit allowance** · Yes — Allowances are published per plan in prompts per month, and a prompt checked across all seven engines counts once rather than seven times, which makes the cap easy to reason about. > What the plan decides is how many prompts you track: 50 on Starter, 100 on Pro and 200 on Agency. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'Which plans include AI visibility, and what if I need more prompts?' **Projects or brands** · Yes — Several brands fit in one account: the cheapest plan carries three projects, and the plan comparison table raises that to 15 on Pro and unlimited on Agency. > It is TrueRanker’s SEO-only plan: 100 Google keywords checked daily, 100 monitored backlinks, 100 site audits a month, 3 projects and 5 scheduled reports, for $14.99 a month > — https://trueranker.com/rank-tracker-pricing/ · FAQ, 'What is the Rank Tracker plan?' **Countries** · Yes — Location is set per prompt down to city level and the query is geo-anchored to it, so a market other than your own can be tracked on any plan. > Every prompt carries its own location, down to city level, and the query is geo-anchored to it. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'Can I track different countries or cities?' **How often it checks** · Partly — AI prompts refresh on a fixed weekly cycle across all engines, with no daily option and no on-demand re-run documented; only the Google rank tracking side refreshes daily. > Every prompt you track is re-run weekly across all six engines. > — https://trueranker.com/ai-visibility-tracker/ · FAQ, 'How often is AI visibility data updated?' **Card required to start** · No — The 14-day trial gives full feature access without a card, and the free page checker and SERP checker need no account at all to run once. > Yes. 14 days, full feature access, no credit card required.

A full REST API on the Agency plan covers keywords, rankings, AI visibility, backlinks and reports. > — https://trueranker.com/ · FAQ, 'Is there an API?' **MCP server** · Partly — MCP is offered alongside the API as a single Agency-tier entitlement, so an agent can query the data only on the $154.80 plan; Starter and Pro rows read 'Not included'. > API & MCP access > — https://trueranker.com/pricing/ · Agency plan card, included-features list; also the 'Reporting and access' row of the plan comparison table **BI export** · Yes — A native Looker Studio connector is listed as included for all plans, with CSV export from the tracker and the Agency-tier REST API for a warehouse or custom BI stack. > The native Looker Studio connector drops TrueRanker data into dashboards you already maintain.
