Getting started with Rankshift

Welcome to Rankshift.

Rankshift is a tool designed to measure and improve your brand’s visibility within AI language models. As AI becomes central to search and product recommendations, understanding how your brand is represented is crucial.

This guide will walk you through the basics of setting up and using Rankshift.

Whether you want to monitor how often your brand is mentioned in chatbot answers, compare yourself to competitors, or explore where you stand in different markets — we’ve got you covered.

What Rankshift does

Rankshift checks if AI tools mention your brand when people ask questions related to your industry, products, or the problems your business solves.

It’s useful for any company that wants to see how visible they are in AI search results — whether you're a single business checking your own name or an agency watching over several clients.

Rankshift AI tracks visibility in two ways:

• Brand mentions: When AI tools mention your company by name.

• Source citations: When your content is used or referenced, even if your brand isn’t named directly.

Rankshift AI runs your chosen prompts every day across different AI models. This gives you steady, trustworthy data on how often you show up — and how that compares to your competitors.
