Free working checklist · no signup required
Forty-two actions to help your brand become easier to find, understand, cite, and trust across AI search. Every item includes the steps and an objective definition of done. The checklist emphasizes coverage because high-coverage pages earned a 27.6% top-10 AI citation rate versus 14.5% for low-coverage pages.
Your first 30 minutes
Get a usable baseline
List 10 buyer questions
Use recommendation, comparison, fit, price, trust, alternatives, and risk questions.
Run them in three AI experiences
Use fresh conversations and preserve the exact answer, platform, mode, date, and citations.
Separate mentions from sources
Record answer mentions, owned-domain citations, and third-party citations independently.
Result in advance: before creating an account, you can know what buyers ask, where the brand appears, and which sources shape the answers.

No. The entire 42-action checklist is available without an account, and anonymous progress is saved in your current browser. A free Rankability account is only required if you want progress saved to your account and available beyond that browser.
No. Completion tracks actions you have finished; it does not prove that an AI platform mentions or cites the brand. The checklist keeps observed mentions, citations, reputation claims, sources, and business outcomes separately inspectable.
No. AI answers are probabilistic, retrieval varies, and no publisher controls inclusion. The checklist helps improve the accessibility, usefulness, corroboration, and accuracy of information that search and answer systems may retrieve.
Your existing browser progress is promoted into your Rankability account so it can be restored beyond the current browser. The checklist remains free, and creating the account does not require a payment card.
Start with the baseline. Save your progress later—if and when it earns that privilege.
