Generative engine optimization
Begin with useful, accessible pages that answer real questions and identify the source of their claims. Keep structured data consistent with visible content. Track indexing, crawler activity and sampled citations separately; a special file or score does not guarantee inclusion in an answer.
Keep the evidence with the finding
- Record the exact URL and check date.
- Identify whether the result is page evidence, a log event or a sampled answer.
- Make one reviewable change at a time.
- Check the published result and measure outcomes separately.
BrandRank provides an on-page AI-readiness audit with copy-paste fixes. It does not query answer engines for brand mentions. Use the audit to inspect the page you control and avoid treating its score as a guarantee of inclusion or traffic.
