AIRANKS — The Authoritative Rankings for AI Web Content
AIRANKS measures AI visibility: we ask AI models real product and service
questions, capture the complete answers as immutable observations, and publish
what they contain — which brands were mentioned, which domains were cited, and
which exact pages were linked. Every domain gets an AIR score from 1–10
(a decile of visibility in the active dataset; 0 means insufficient data),
with the methodology in the open.
AIRANKS — The Authoritative Rankings for AI Web Content - AIRANKS — 1,446 questions ranked on ChatGPT, sampled 527,391 times in dataset COBALT — with bootstrap confidence intervals showing which rankings are real and which are noise.

What the AI Says
Summary generated by AI from airanks.net's public pages, September 17, 2026.
AIRANKS is primarily a measurement and analytics platform for “AI visibility”—how frequently brands, domains, and individual webpages appear in answers generated by AI systems. It samples real product- and service-related questions, records the brands mentioned and links cited, and assigns domains an AIR score from 1 to 10. The site also publishes its methodology, confidence intervals, rankings, citation data, AI-file audits, and a searchable public ledger. (airanks.net (airanks.net))
The site serves a specific niche: AI search optimization, AI discoverability, and the emerging field sometimes described as generative-engine optimization. It is not centered on one consumer brand or product; instead, it evaluates many companies across categories such as credit cards, automobiles, software, outdoor products, consumer technology, and professional services. Examples displayed on the site include Capital One, Hyundai, REI, Microsoft, Kia, Mailchimp, Chevrolet, HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce, Lenovo, Toyota, and ProtonVPN. These are subjects of measurement rather than evidence that AIRANKS is affiliated with or endorses them. (airanks.net (airanks.net))
Full summary
AIRANKS identifies Jeremy Schoemaker as its founder and describes him as responsible for building the platform’s AI and LLM infrastructure. His background in SEO and prior ventures AuctionAds and PAR Program are presented on the About page, but the reviewed pages do not clearly identify a separate incorporated company, ownership structure, physical address, or broader organizational team. The website’s blog is mainly a technical build log, while its developer pages promote a public API, command-line tools, SDKs, an MCP integration, a Chrome toolbar, and free or potentially commercial domain reports. (airanks.net (airanks.net))
Overall, it is best categorized as a combination of SaaS-style business website, data product, developer platform, and educational resource—not primarily a conventional blog. Its likely audience includes brands and marketers concerned with visibility in ChatGPT-like systems, SEO and content professionals, agencies, publishers, developers building AI-related tools, and researchers interested in how AI answers cite sources. The site’s constitution also states that some longer-term ambitions—such as using consented human interaction logs and holding agreements with major LLM providers—are targets rather than currently verified capabilities, so those should not be treated as established facts.
