AI SEO services
AI SEO services that get your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI.
Everything it takes to be one of the three to five brands AI names, done for you: audit, strategy, content, citations, and tracking, under one monthly retainer.
15-minute call. No commitment. You see your own numbers first.

30+ SaaS and ecommerce brands already optimisingPowered by 1M+ AI conversationsThe problem
Blue-link rankings are losing clicks every quarter
AI answers now sit on top of the results your buyers used to scroll. Ask an engine which tool or supplier to use and it names three to five brands, then stops. That shortlist is formed before anyone reaches your site. Traditional SEO alone does not get you into it, and running the work in-house means staffing a discipline that barely has a settled playbook.
AI SEO services get a brand cited and recommended inside AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) by combining an AI visibility audit, answer-shaped content, technical optimisation, and earned citations. RankZero delivers the whole program as a managed monthly retainer and tracks the results in its own engine.

Who's behind the work?
RankZero started as the tracking platform behind top-tier SEO agencies, built on one of the largest datasets of real AI search behaviour. The co-founders who built it are the ones doing the work, and the results carry their names, not an account manager's.
Why now
AI is now the front door to the internet
Half of all consumers already use AI-powered search. Your next customer may never visit Google at all: they will ask an assistant and act on the first recommendation it gives.
50%
of consumers already use AI-powered search to discover products and services
20 to 50%
of traditional search traffic will shift to AI-generated answers by 2026

Who we work with
Built for SaaS and ecommerce brands
Two kinds of buyers ask AI what to use and what to buy. We get you into both answers.
SaaS
Be the tool ChatGPT names
When buyers ask AI for the best software in your category, three to five tools get named. We make sure yours is one of them, mapped to the prompts your buyers actually use.
"best {category} software for startups"
1. your productyou
2. competitor a
3. competitor b
Ecommerce
Be the product AI recommends
AI shopping answers are replacing the comparison search. We get your products cited and recommended when shoppers ask what to buy, from Perplexity to Google AI Overviews.
"best {product} under $100"
1. your brandyou
