What does a Suggestion look like?

A Suggestion names one page, who is on it, and the action. For example: g2.com is cited in answers to your buyer questions, HubSpot and Pipedrive are listed on its “Best CRM Tools” page and you are not, so the Suggestion is to claim your G2 profile and fill every category field the listicle filters on. Each one is marked Measured on your data or Unproven — hypothesis, so you know how much to trust it.

How is RankSurf different from Peec, Profound, or Otterly?

Other tools tell you where your brand appears. RankSurf tells you exactly which page to work next, which gap to close, and which failing prompt you'd win back — with a Suggestion for each. Monitoring without a next action is just a dashboard. See the full breakdown at /compare.

What's the difference between plans?

Every plan includes every feature: third-party source tracking with reach ranking, Growth Plan Suggestions and Tasks, PDF/CSV export, and shared reports. Plans differ by scale (domains, prompts, and team seats), support level (priority support on Growth+, dedicated support on Agency), and white-label reports on Agency. The Starter plan includes a 7-day free trial; the other plans start immediately.

How accurate are the results?

Results reflect what each AI engine actually returns at query time. AI outputs can vary between runs, so we track trends over time to surface consistent patterns rather than one-off fluctuations.

How does data collection work?

We query ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overview through their official interfaces — direct APIs for ChatGPT and Perplexity, and a licensed search-data API for Google AI Overview. No scraping, no unofficial access — just real responses.

What counts as a 'prompt'?

A prompt is one query string you track — like 'best B2B CRM software'. RankSurf runs each prompt across ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overview on every scan. So if you're on the Starter plan with 50 prompts, each scan produces at least 150 results. Your prompt count is what you configure; the engine coverage is automatic.

What does RankSurf's Answer sources feature actually do?

RankSurf records the specific third-party pages AI engines read when answering your tracked prompts — grouped by site, with how often each is used and which brands AI named in those same answers. The cited pages worth winning become Suggestions in your Growth Plan: who is on the page, that you are not, and the action to take. Start one as a Task and RankSurf checks live where it can. Your prompts keep running on schedule, so the numbers are re-measured on every scan.

Can I track whether ChatGPT or Perplexity mentions my brand?

Yes — RankSurf runs your buyer-intent prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview multiple times per week and shows you the exact ranked responses, color-coded brand mentions, and alerts when anything changes.

Google AI Overview

The shift is already here

AI answers are the new front page

Your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overview before they ask you — and AI builds its shortlist from third-party pages, not your homepage. If you're not cited where it looks, you're invisible.

Built from third-party pages

AI builds its answer from the pages it already trusts — not your homepage. If you're not one of them, the model never sees you.

Silence reads as absence

A brand that's never mentioned outside its own site is invisible to a model that only trusts what it's read elsewhere.

The first citation compounds

The pages an engine cites once, it tends to cite again — early citations become the sources every later answer pulls from.

Off-site GEO

AI builds its answers from third-party pages — we show you which ones, and what to do on each

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview don't invent recommendations — they repeat the Reddit threads, G2 listings, and review listicles they already trust. RankSurf shows you exactly which third-party pages each engine read to answer your prompts, how often it reads each one, which brands it named in those same answers, and a Suggestion for each gap in your Growth Plan.
