Why it matters for local

"Near me" now starts in an AI chat.

When AI answers a local question it names a few businesses, and most people never scroll to a map or a list.

"Near me" answers skip you

Ask AI for the best option in your area and a competitor gets named, capturing the customer before they ever search a map.

Reviews and GBP aren't enough

A strong Google Business Profile doesn't aim an LLM mentions you. Answer engines read different, structured signals.

Multi-location is hard to track

Each city and branch competes in its own AI answers. Watching them all by hand is impossible, so blind spots pile up.

Real customer prompts

The questions we track for local.

We ask each engine the high-intent local questions your customers actually type, then score where you land.

AI

"Who does emergency HVAC repair near me?"

AI

"Best family-friendly restaurant in [neighborhood]?"

FAQ

AEO for local business, answered

How is this different from local SEO?
Local SEO targets the map pack and organic results. AEO targets the AI answer that increasingly comes first. AI Rankin measures whether engines name your business and generates the local signals that influence it.
Can you track multiple locations?
Yes. Each location runs as its own workspace with its own scans, prompts and reports. Agency Scale includes 10 workspaces, and you can request a custom plan for more.
Do you connect to my Google Business Profile?
AI Rankin focuses on what AI engines say about you and generates the structured data (LocalBusiness schema, hours, service area) they read. It complements your GBP rather than replacing it.
Which plan should a single-location business start on?
Most start on Growth ($99/mo) for 5 engines and the local schema tools. Move to Pro for daily scans, or Agency Scale if you run multiple locations.
