How RankOps became one agency
RankOps was formed in 2025 through the merger of five web ventures Tyler Moncrieff had built and run independently:
- Signal Stack (2022) — AI signal tracking and monitoring
- Web-FIX-24 (2022) — web development and site services
- GPT Prompt Vault (2023) — AI prompt library and resources
- AiAuto / Automationally (2023) — AI automation systems
- Website48 (2024) — SEO and GEO web services
All five merged into RankOps in 2025 — full story on the founder page.
The proof of concept
Before selling the method to clients, Tyler ran it on his own company: buy-sell.land, a vacant-land site covering all 100 NC counties, built with the same schema, Speakable markup, and entity-signal architecture RankOps deploys for clients. Read the numbers: the buy-sell.land case study.
