How SimplyRank helps you do better in AEO

AEO is hard because AI is opaque. You can't just look at Google Search Console and see your rankings. You have to actually ask the AI questions, capture the answers, and analyze them.

SimplyRank does that part for you, at scale, on a schedule. Here's specifically what we provide.

1. A baseline you didn't have before

Before SimplyRank, most marketing teams have no idea what AI says about them. They're guessing.

SimplyRank gives you, in a few minutes:

A visibility score for every prompt.
A position rank when you're mentioned.
A sentiment breakdown.
A list of competitors AI mentions alongside you.

Even before you change anything, you now have a measurable starting point. You can't improve what you can't measure — this is the measurement.

2. Coverage across all four major models

Manual checking doesn't scale. Even if you set aside an afternoon to ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini the same question, you'd cover maybe 20 prompts. Then you'd have to do it again next week to see if anything changed.

SimplyRank runs every active prompt against every supported model, every scheduled scan, automatically. You can compare engines side-by-side and spot when one moves ahead of the others (which is usually a clue about why).

3. Gap analysis that points to specific actions

Gap Analysis (Pro+) shows the prompts where competitors appear and you don't, ranked by gap size. That's a prioritized to-do list:

"Competitors appear in 80% of prompts about 'private healthcare in Manchester' and we appear in 0%. We should look at why."

That's specific enough to act on. "We need better SEO" is not.

4. Citation insights that show why AI is recommending competitors

Citations (Pro+) shows the external sources AI is leaning on. If competitor mentions correlate with G2 reviews and you have a sparse G2 listing, that's a fix you can make this quarter.

This is the most underused page in SimplyRank. It's also where the best leverage usually lies.

5. Auto-generated recommendations

Recommendations (all plans) takes your scan data and produces specific suggestions: "earn citations on G2", "publish a comparison page for [X vs Y]", "address a recurring negative mention on Trustpilot".

You don't have to interpret the data yourself. Pick 1–3 a week and act on them.

6. Trends that show whether your work is paying off

When you make a change — earn a citation, publish content, refresh a listing — you want to know if it moved the needle.

Trends shows your visibility, position, and sentiment over time. You can put a marker on the date you made a change and watch the line afterward. If nothing moves over 4–8 weeks, the action probably didn't matter. If it climbs, that's evidence to do more of the same.

7. Competitor benchmarks that keep you honest

It's easy to celebrate when your visibility climbs. It's harder to notice when a competitor climbed faster. SimplyRank tracks competitors on the same prompts, so you always have a relative measure, not just an absolute one.

8. Sharable reports for stakeholders

If you're presenting AI visibility to a CMO, founder, or client, you need something polished. PDF exports and (for agencies) white-label reports give you that without extra work.

What SimplyRank doesn't do — and what you still need

SimplyRank doesn't write content for you. You (or your content team) do that. We tell you what to write about.
SimplyRank doesn't pitch publications for you. You (or your PR team) do that. We tell you which publications to pitch.
SimplyRank doesn't manage your G2 / Trustpilot / Capterra listings. You (or your customer marketing function) do that. We tell you which platforms have the biggest gap.

The pattern: SimplyRank is the measurement and direction layer. You bring the action layer.
