Path B · AI visibility engineering
Be the Business AI Names.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI who to use, the answer names one or two businesses. AI Visibility is the work that puts yours there: mapping how AI should understand your business, building those signals into your site, and tracking what the engines actually say over time.

AI does not read your marketing. It reads your entity: who you are, what you do, and which sources back it up. Our job is to make that picture correct and easy for AI to verify.
Tyler Moncrieff, founder of RankOps
Ranking on Google and being named by AI are two different systems.
A business can sit at the top of Google and never appear in a ChatGPT answer for the same question. Classic search ranks pages. AI answer engines read entities: who you are, what you do, how you connect to everything around you. Win one and you can still be invisible in the other. AI Visibility engineers the second system on purpose.
| Classic Google | AI answer engines | |
|---|---|---|
| What it ranks | Individual pages | Your business as an entity |
| What wins | Links, keywords, page authority | Clear identity, structured facts, cited sources |
| What you get back | A list of ten blue links | One or two businesses named in the answer |
| How you check it | Your ranking position | Whether AI names you, and who else it names |
What AI needs before it will name you.
A clear entity
A single, consistent picture of who your business is: name, place, category, and the profiles that confirm it. Disambiguation so AI does not confuse you with someone else.
You get: one business AI can identify with confidence.
Machine-readable facts
Structured data that states your facts in a form engines can quote directly, instead of hoping they parse it correctly out of your page copy.
You get: your facts quoted straight, not guessed at.
Answer-ready content
Content written the way an AI engine can lift it into an answer: direct, specific, and organized around the real questions people ask.
You get: copy AI can drop into an answer as-is.
Three ways in.
One-time deliverable
Entity Map
From $1,225
Start here if you want the foundation built first.
A mapped picture of how AI should understand your business: profile links, disambiguation, and a schema plan you can act on. A built reference, not just a report.
Built into your site
AI HQ Build
$4,997
Start here if your existing site needs the work built in.
Upgrade the AI-visibility core of the site you already have: entity structure, structured data, and answer-ready content built in and deployed for you.
Ongoing monitoring
AI Citation Tracker
$29/mo
Start here if you just want to see where you stand.
Track what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI actually say about you and your market, week over week, so you can see what the work moves.
Entity Map and HQ Build pricing starts where shown, confirmed before anything starts. The Citation Tracker gives you 5 tracked questions for 14 days with no card, then $29/month only if you continue. Prefer ongoing hands-on work? That is SEO + AI Visibility Growth at $1,500/mo.
Ask about the Entity Map or the HQ Build
This is a question, not a signup. Tell us where to look and Tyler replies with whether it is a fit and what it would cost. If you only wanted to watch what AI says, the tracker above is the free thing and this is not it.

Live internal proof, shown with limitations
What the tracker actually shows.
Real data from RankOps' own project
Buy Sell Land is Tyler's own vacant-land company and RankOps' proof-of-concept, not a client. The readings below are live tracker output from the last 30 days, shown to demonstrate the tool. They are not a promise of the same outcome for your business.
The honest part
A high readiness score on its own prompts sits right next to a near-zero market share of voice, and both are true. Buy Sell Land is cited every time in its five core land-selling prompts, and buy-sell.land is a top-three source AI pulls from, yet bigger competitors still get named more often across the wider market. The tracker shows all of it, so the headline number never hides the gap.
Tracked prompts, last 30 days
buy-sell.land cited in the answer.
buy-sell.land cited in the answer.
buy-sell.land cited in the answer.
buy-sell.land cited in the answer.
buy-sell.land cited in the answer.
The tracker also flags when an answer starts naming a competitor it did not name before, so a new rival in your market is a logged change, not a surprise. See the live tool on the Citation Tracker page.
Tracker or Entity Map: which one?
They are not the same purchase. The AI Citation Tracker is free for 14 days and tells you whether AI names you at all. The Entity Map is a $1,225 built deliverable: it names every failing signal in priority order and maps how AI should understand your business. The tracker shows you where you stand. The Entity Map builds the thing AI reads from.
Sources and standards, not secret tricks
The approach follows public guidance and research: Google's guidance on AI features and your site, the Schema.org vocabulary for describing your business to machines, and academic work on generative-engine optimization (GEO, Aggarwal et al.), which finds that clear quotations and cited sources make a page easier for AI to use. No special AI file or exact schema count is a shortcut to being cited.
AI Visibility questions
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility is whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI understand your business and name it when someone asks who to use. It depends on clear entity signals, structured data, and answer-ready content, which are related to but separate from where you rank in the classic Google results.
How is the Entity Map different from the AI HQ Build?
The Entity Map is the diagnosis and the specification: it names every failing signal, puts them in priority order, and maps how AI should understand your business, including profile links, disambiguation, and a schema plan. The AI HQ Build is the implementation: that work built into your site and deployed for you. One decides what has to happen, the other does it.
What is the AI HQ Build?
The AI HQ Build upgrades the AI-visibility core of a website you already have: entity structure, structured data, and answer-ready content built into your existing site and deployed for you. It works on the site you already own rather than starting a new one.
Do you guarantee that AI will name my business?
No. No one can guarantee what an AI engine will say. RankOps engineers the signals that make your business easy for AI to understand and cite, and the Citation Tracker measures what changes over time. The work is honest engineering, not a promise about output.
