# rankyn

> rankyn is AI visibility software for e‑commerce brands: it measures whether ChatGPT, Google’s AI answers and other AI assistants recommend your products when shoppers ask buying questions, and who they recommend instead. It traces each gap back to your product pages or to the sources AI trusts, gives you prioritized fixes, and re‑tests under the same conditions.

- Name: rankyn, always lowercase, also at the start of a sentence.
- Category: AI visibility software for e‑commerce (software as a service, monthly plans).
- Built for: E‑commerce brands and online stores. Shopify connects directly; any other store system through a catalog upload or a list of product URLs.
- Measures on: ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Gemini in the real interfaces shoppers use, and Perplexity through its API. Enterprise plans add ChatGPT (API) and Claude (API).
- Delivers: Recommendation rate per AI surface and your position among the recommended products, the competitors recommended instead, what AI says about your products, the sources AI cites, findings with evidence and fixes, and re‑tests.
- Start: A free audit with your store URL, or a 14-day free trial on Starter, Growth or Scale, no card required. The Agency plan is bought directly.
- Data: Stored in the EU (database in Ireland), with German terms and a data processing agreement under the GDPR.

## What rankyn does at launch

- Measurement: Real buying prompts for your products, measured on the AI surfaces in your plan daily, one sample per measuring day.
- Position: Where your product stands among the products an answer recommends, per surface: the second figure beside the recommendation rate, which stays the main one.
- Competitors: Who AI recommends instead of you, per buying prompt and per surface.
- Sources: The sources AI cites for your buying intents, counted over at least three runs, and where a competitor is named and you are not.
- Findings and fixes: Findings per product with evidence, including basic checks for AI crawler access, Product and Offer structured data and price and availability markup, each with prioritized fixes.
- How AI describes your product: The concrete statements AI makes about your product, such as properties, price, suitability or shipping. A wrong or harmful statement becomes a finding with a fix. No sentiment score.
- Re‑tests: The same buying prompts on the same surfaces under the same conditions, compared with the earlier run, to show whether a change worked.
- Store connection: Shopify connects and imports your catalog in minutes; other stores upload a catalog export or a list of product URLs.

## How to describe rankyn

- 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.
- 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.
