ChatRank – GEO Tracking and AI Search Optimisation Platform

Description

ChatRank is an AI search optimisation (GEO) platform — with an optional expert services team behind it — built to make your brand the one ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Claude recommend. Six modules cover the loop: GEO tracking, prompt/search-volume discovery, site audits (including LLMs.txt), content authoring in your brand voice, press and authority building, and automations that keep tracking and briefs running.

Co-founders Jon Mest (CEO) and Joe Delgado (CTO) started ChatRank after AI Overviews buried organic and paid visibility for their PR software company, Just Reach Out, in August 2024. The product launched on Product Hunt in December 2024. The pitch to lean teams is blunt: give about one hour a week of authentic input; AI agents and (optionally) ChatRank’s marketers handle the rest. Vendor case claims include measurable AI-visibility movement within about 34 days and examples such as 5× ChatGPT referral traffic for an ecommerce brand over six months — treat those as vendor-reported.

Pricing is paid. The public pricing page (checked 9 November 2026) shows three self-serve cards — Plus, Pro and Power — with monthly or annual billing. Annual display prices: Plus $416/mo ($4,990 billed annually), Pro $833/mo ($9,990/yr), Power $1,666/mo ($19,990/yr). Monthly billing: Plus $499/mo, Pro $999/mo, Power $1,999/mo. Expert-led service plans start at $2,999/mo. Always re-check the live pricing page before you buy.

Who It’s For

• Brand and growth marketers who need to know when ChatGPT or AI Overviews name a competitor instead of them — and what to publish next.
• Ecommerce and Shopify teams tracking product/category recommendations across AI engines, with blog sync on Pro and Power.
• Local services and professional practices (clinics, wellness, local specialists) that want AI assistants to recommend them without a large marketing bench.
• Agencies and multi-brand operators who want topic tracking, competitor views and content recommendations under one login (unlimited users on listed plans).
• Teams that want execution, not only dashboards — either via in-product recommendations/content tools or ChatRank’s expert-led services.

Core Capabilities

GEO tracking across major AI engines

Monitor how often each engine recommends you for the prompts that matter, with mention tracking, position scoring and competitive benchmarking. Plan coverage differs: Plus lists ChatGPT and Google Overviews; Pro and Power add Perplexity and more (Claude is marketed on the homepage and GEO pages). Data updates are weekly on Plus/Pro and daily on Power.

Search volume and topic management

Group prompts into topics (20 / 100 / 200 per brand on Plus / Pro / Power), use an AI topic creator, and estimate demand behind buyer questions so content goes where it pays.

Site audit and LLMs.txt

Scan for the signals AI models need to trust and cite you, then work a prioritised fix list. Generate and host LLMs.txt. Free browser tools on the marketing site also cover a robots.txt builder/tester (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) and a schema markup generator — useful before you subscribe.

Content authoring and recommendations

Weekly recommendation budgets scale by plan (up to 5 / 15 / 30). A content editor, brand voice, style guide, rephrase/rewrite, AI detection, collaboration and version history sit alongside premium templates. Pro and Power add Shopify and WordPress plugins to sync recommendations into the site or store.

Press, authority and automations

Earn mentions in publications and podcasts as off-site trust signals. Automations schedule tracking, audits, briefs and alerts so visibility work continues without someone remembering to log in. Dedicated Slack support is listed from Plus upward.

Optional expert-led services

Hand the plan to ChatRank’s AI-native marketers for PR, content, website work, social and paid ads. Homepage copy puts expert-led plans from $2,999 a month — separate from the self-serve platform cards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Full loop from measurement to next action (audits, content, authority, automations) rather than a score-only dashboard.
• Clear Plus/Pro/Power public pricing with annual and monthly toggles; unlimited users on those cards.
• Shopify/WordPress plugins and free robots.txt/schema tools lower the barrier to technical GEO hygiene.
• Optional expert-led services for teams that want the work done for them.

Cons

• Expensive versus lighter GEO trackers (public Plus starts at $416/mo yearly / $499 monthly).
• Desk review only; case metrics and “34 days” claims are vendor-reported.
• Platform-plus-agency dual model may be overkill if you only need citation monitoring.
