Karim Nassar

Founder & Head of Research

Karim Nassar is the founder of SimplyRank. He builds and operates the product: the scan pipeline that puts customer prompts to four AI assistants, the measurement layer that scores what those assistants say about a brand, and the research programme behind the figures published on this site.

What he works on

SimplyRank is founder-operated, so the work is not split across departments. The four areas below are the ones he is hands-on with.

  • The scan pipelinescheduling scans for each tracked brand, sending every active prompt to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini, and storing each response alongside the model version that produced it.
  • The measurement layerturning those responses into visibility, position and sentiment scores, citation lists, and gap analysis against tracked competitors.
  • The research programmethe methodology behind every number published on this site, written up in full on the SimplyRank Research profile.
  • The writingthe pillar guides on AI rank tracking, and the model-specific benchmarks in the learn and research libraries, carry his byline where he wrote them.

What he is accountable for

Pages bylined SimplyRank Research use the methodology he maintains, and pages bylined in his own name follow the same rules: the metrics are the ones defined in the product, the model versions are the ones in production, and partial or failed scans are excluded from anything we publish.

That also means corrections have a single destination. Methodology questions, citation research and benchmark requests go to [email protected]; product, pricing and account questions go to [email protected]; press and interview requests go to [email protected].
