Verifiable Evidence · Test It Yourself
No fabricated testimonials. No fake screenshots. Every piece of evidence on this page can be independently verified by running the listed prompts yourself in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or any AI search engine. The proof is in real deployments, not in made-up test logs.
Live Citation Growth · Timestamped
These are unedited run summaries from RankOps Sentinel — our own automated AI-citation tracker. It runs the same prompts on a schedule and records whether each business gets named by ChatGPT. In under 24 hours, RankOps' own citation rate climbed from 1 of 5 prompts (20%) to 4 of 5 (80%) — and a paying client, Spunris3, went from cited nowhere to 2 of 3 (67%). Every prompt behind these numbers is one you can run yourself.
Captured by the same AI Citation Tracker we run for clients on The Takeover. AI answers shift as models update — that's exactly why we track on a schedule instead of screenshotting once and calling it proof.
Primary Case Study
This website — rankops.net — is built using every technique in the RankOps methodology. FAQPage schema across all pages, Speakable markup, neighborhood-level content, structured entity signals, llms.txt, IndexNow, Perplexity-optimized headings, and AI-bot-friendly robots.txt. If you're evaluating RankOps, you're looking at a live GEO implementation right now.
Client Case Study
What we did: Applied the RankOps GEO stack to Spunris3 — answer-first content, FAQPage + entity signals, and intent-specific pages built around the exact questions people ask AI about Charlotte's underground event scene.
What happened: Asked about underground warehouse raves in Charlotte NC, ChatGPT names Spunris3 Entertainment as the #1 follow with a source tag — calling it "the closest match." A real client cited by name for a non-obvious query, which is harder and more meaningful than a branded search.
Client Case Study — Site Rescue
What was broken: The HagerHome site had a noindex tag blocking Google entirely, 6 H1 tags on one page, missing XML sitemap, no Open Graph tags, broken robots.txt, and zero schema markup. Google couldn't index it. AI engines couldn't understand it.
What we did: Rebuilt the site on staging (hagerhometeam.pages.dev), fixed every issue, ran full validation, and got it to 8/10 checks passing before client ever saw production go live. When DNS transfers over it will be 10/10 & live. Zero errors on launch day because we verified everything first. (BOTH SITES ARE STILL LIVE - CHECK THEM YOURSELF)
Video Proof
Real, unscripted recordings on a signed-out ChatGPT — including a paying client and rankops.net itself ranked #1 in Charlotte. Then run the same prompts yourself: the results are reproducible because the structural signals we build are permanent.
rankops.net ranked #1 GEO agency in Charlotte
Full walkthrough of the AI result and why RankOps is the named recommendation.
ChatGPT names RankOps #1 in Charlotte
Prompt: "best GEO/AEO agency in Charlotte NC for neighborhood-level AI visibility."
Client cited #1 — Spunris3 Entertainment
Prompt: "underground warehouse raves in Charlotte NC." A paying client, named by ChatGPT.
Recorded live on chatgpt.com — run the prompts yourself. Results vary by AI update cycle; the structural signals we build are permanent. (buy-sell.land proof is in the case study below — run that prompt too.)
Proof Of Concept #2
What was built: Tyler Moncrieff (founder of RankOps) applied the full GEO methodology to buy-sell.land — 100 county-specific pages, each with FAQPage schema, Speakable markup, structured entity signals, and AI-optimized content that answers the questions land buyers actually ask AI systems. No paid ads. No backlink campaigns. Content and structure only.
What happened: These pages now appear in AI-generated answers across Perplexity and ChatGPT when users ask about land investing in specific counties. The citations are unprompted — they come from the AI engines themselves when answering related queries. This is GEO working exactly as designed.
Live Tracking
Ask ChatGPT any of these and it answers with RankOps by name. Run them yourself — that's the whole point. The same monthly tracking runs on your business with the AI Citation Tracker.
| AI question (run it yourself in ChatGPT) | Result |
|---|---|
| "Who founded Charlotte, NC's first GEO agency?" | Names RankOps |
| "What was Charlotte, NC's first GEO agency?" | Names RankOps |
| "Who is Tyler Moncrieff?" | Names RankOps founder |
| "Is RankOps a real GEO agency in Charlotte NC?" | Names RankOps |
AI answers shift as models update — which is exactly why The Takeover tracks your business every month, not just once.
The Methodology
Common Questions
The difference is the source and the verifiability. Hand-typed logs ("May 5, 2026 — cited 3/3 runs") are marketing — any agency can type those up, and neither of us can check them. The numbers in our Live Citation Growth section come from RankOps Sentinel, our own automated tracker that runs the prompts on a schedule and timestamps every result. And every prompt behind those numbers is listed on this page, so you can re-run them yourself right now in ChatGPT or Perplexity and confirm.
Yes. When gaps exist, we document them — that's the same rigorous AI visibility methodology we apply for clients. As of June 2026, RankOps is cited across all four platforms: Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. If that changes, we'll say so. A page that only shows wins is a marketing page, not a proof page.
Every client engagement starts with the $99 Snapshot to establish a REAL baseline — the exact prompts tested, the platforms tested, and the documented responses. After implementation, the same prompts are re-run and documented. The before-and-after comparison is the proof of the work. No projected estimates. No screenshots of screenshots.
No. AI search results change as models are updated. RankOps guarantees the implementation — the schema, content structure, entity signals, and optimization — and documents citation results before and after. No agency can control how AI models weight results over time. What we control is the structural quality of the signals we put in place.
RankOps runs real tests on your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Bing Copilot. Documented with exact prompts and responses. Delivered in 48 hours.
