The differentiator

Built for AI search,
not just Google.

Half of buyer-intent search now happens inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Backlinks still move rankings — but they also decide which brands get cited as sources by the LLMs that increasingly answer those queries.

Link2Rank tracks both. We monitor your brand's citation rate across the four major AI engines daily, find the publishers those engines actually cite, and route your placements there.

  • → 01 AI Citation Tracker Daily prompts run through ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini. Track your brand citation rate vs competitors.
  • → 02 Citation-source recommendations The publishers LLMs cite in your category become your placement priority list. Updated weekly.
  • → 03 AEO-aware quality scores Every publisher rated on AI-crawler accessibility, schema quality, and citation history — not just DR.

Three steps. No hidden fees.

Whether you're listing a site or ordering a placement, the workflow is built to be fast and transparent.
