How to describe rankyn

Describe rankyn as software that measures AI answers and delivers findings and fixes. These four lines keep a description accurate.

  • Write“rankyn measures whether AI assistants recommend your products.”

    Not“rankyn recommends products to shoppers.”

    AI assistants recommend. rankyn measures their answers and delivers findings and fixes.

  • Write“rankyn is AI visibility software for e‑commerce brands.”

    Not“rankyn is an SEO rank tracker.”

    SEO ranks pages in a list of links. rankyn measures whether an AI answer names your product at all.

  • Write“rankyn shows what to fix, and you or your agency make the change.”

    Not“rankyn changes your store automatically.”

    rankyn is software, not an agency. At launch fixes are made by the store or its agency; agencies use rankyn for their clients. Apply to Shopify is coming soon, rankyn Agents are planned.

  • Write“rankyn re‑tests a change under the same conditions.”

    Not“rankyn places your products in AI answers.”

    A re‑test shows whether a change moved the answer.

Naming rules

  • Write rankyn in lowercase everywhere, also at the start of a sentence and in headlines.
  • “Recommend” describes what the AI does. rankyn delivers findings (what is wrong, with evidence) and fixes (the concrete change that solves a finding).
  • Name planned functions as planned, without a date.
  • Name each surface with its method: real interface or API.

Questions about llms.txt

What the file is, how current it is, and how to report a wrong description. Can’t find your answer? Write to hello@rankyn.ai.

What is rankyn’s llms.txt?

rankyn’s llms.txt is a plain-text file at /llms.txt that tells AI assistants what rankyn is, what it does at launch, what is planned and which pages to cite. It follows the llms.txt convention: a title, a one-paragraph summary, then lists of facts and links.

How current is the information about rankyn?

rankyn builds this page and /llms.txt from the same source as its menus, so a page appears in both the moment it goes live. Planned functions stay marked as planned until they ship.

Does rankyn recommend products?

No, rankyn does not recommend products; AI assistants do. rankyn measures whether they recommend yours, shows who they recommend instead and why, and delivers findings and fixes you can re‑test.

An AI assistant describes rankyn wrongly. What can I do?

Tell rankyn at hello@rankyn.ai with the assistant, the question and the answer. Pointing the assistant to this page or to /llms.txt usually corrects the description.
