verified Founded 2025 · AEO Specialists

AI Search Rankings is an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) agency. We help businesses get cited by ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot by building the entity authority, schema markup, and content structure that AI systems require to trust and recommend a brand.

While most agencies still optimize for blue links, we specialize exclusively in the AI-first search era. Every engagement starts with an AI Answer Readiness Score — a 47-factor diagnostic that reveals exactly where you stand and what it takes to get cited.

Why AI Search Requires a Different Strategy

Traditional SEO earns rankings. AI search earns citations. The difference determines whether buyers find you — or your competitor.

search_off Traditional SEO

You Optimize for Rankings

Pages compete for positions 1–10. Users click through to compare. Brand exposure depends on scroll position and CTR. A #1 ranking still puts you in a list with 9 competitors.

smart_toy AEO Required

AI Picks One Answer and Cites It

AI synthesizes sources and delivers one answer. There are no positions 2 through 10. Your brand is either cited as the authoritative source — or invisible. This is winner-takes-all.

groups Who We Work With

Built for Brands Where AI Visibility Drives Revenue

We work with growth-stage and enterprise businesses where buyers, patients, clients, and partners increasingly rely on AI to discover and evaluate options.

cloud

B2B SaaS & Technology

Enterprise buyers use ChatGPT and Perplexity to research software. If your product isn't cited when a prospect asks "what's the best [solution]", you lose deals before a demo request.

local_hospital

Healthcare & Professional Services

Patients and clients ask AI health and legal questions daily. YMYL sectors require high E-E-A-T signals. We build the authority structure that earns AI trust in regulated industries.

E-commerce & DTC Brands

Product discovery is shifting to AI. "What's the best running shoe for flat feet" is answered by ChatGPT before users reach any store. Product page AI optimization is now critical.

Enterprise & Multi-Location

Large organizations face fragmented AI visibility: cited correctly in one market, wrong in another. We standardize entity signals at scale across business units and regions.

Legal & Finance

Law firms and financial advisors lose clients to AI answers daily. Structured content that satisfies E-E-A-T for YMYL topics turns AI platforms into qualified-lead generators.

Startups & Growth-Stage

Early AI visibility is a durable competitive moat. Once AI systems establish trust in your brand as the authority in a category, it is exponentially harder for late entrants to displace you.

Jagdeep Singh

Founder · AI Search Rankings · AEO Strategist

Jagdeep built AI Search Rankings to solve a problem he saw coming before most agencies recognized it: traditional SEO signals don't translate to AI citation authority. His methodology — combining entity optimization, schema engineering, and question-led content architecture — was developed through direct testing across hundreds of brands on every major AI platform.

Why Brands Choose AI Search Rankings Over General SEO Agencies

AEO-Only Focus

We don't split attention between traditional SEO and AI search. 100% of our methodology, research, and tooling is built for AI citation optimization.

Questions About AI Search Rankings

No. AI Search Rankings specializes exclusively in Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — getting brands cited by AI search systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. We do not offer traditional link building, PPC, or social media management. Our focus is entirely on AI citation authority.
We work with businesses where AI-influenced revenue is meaningful: B2B SaaS companies, healthcare practices, law firms, e-commerce brands, enterprise teams, and professional service providers. The common thread is buyers who use AI to research purchases, vendors, or services.
Most clients see measurable changes in their AI Answer Readiness Score within 30 days of implementation. Actual AI citation frequency — meaning AI systems actively citing your brand — typically improves within 60–90 days. We measure both at day 60 and day 90.
Yes. We offer white-label AEO services for digital marketing agencies that want to add AI search optimization to their service offering without building the capability in-house. Contact us to discuss partnership terms.
The AI Answer Readiness Score (0–100) is our proprietary diagnostic that measures how likely AI search engines are to cite your brand across 47 factors in four dimensions: Brand Clarity, Competitive Position, Technical Foundation, and Content Answer Readiness. You can get your score free in 60 seconds at our free AI audit.
