Ranketize

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm a managing partner at Epic BDC, a staffing solutions company. We help car dealerships convert leads into sales using real people instead of bots or outsourcing to improve marketing performance.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

Our website ranked fine on Google, but our CDN firewall and client-side JavaScript were accidentally blocking bots like GPTBot and Perplexity. As a result, our pricing and comparison tables weren't showing up in AI search answers at all.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has handled our technical setup from top to bottom. The team has gone through our robots.txt and llms.txt files, sorted out our canonical tags, and written nested JSON-LD schema to make our product catalog easy for bots to parse.The biggest job has been fixing our dynamically rendered comparison tables. Since those tables load via JavaScript, AI crawlers see blank spaces instead of our actual features and pricing tiers. Ranketize has given us clean code snippets to make all that content readable for LLMs without slowing down the site for real users.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found Ranketize through an online search. We chose them over other options because their pricing fit our budget and offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Ranketize in June 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We saw a difference in our server logs within a couple of weeks. Our bot crawl success went from under 20% to around 95%, so the blocked request errors we kept seeing basically disappeared.Over the next two months, our platform started getting cited in about 20 different Google AI overviews and Perplexity answers for dealership BDC queries. We also saw an immediate 25% increase in inbound demo requests from dealerships who found us through ChatGPT. Those leads closed faster because they had already read our pricing details before booking a call. Overall, we've seen a 15%–20% increase in our conversion rate.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Ranketize's project management has been very smooth. We've invited them to our Slack channel, and whenever they have a deliverable, they drop it into GitHub with clear explanations. The team doesn't drag us into long weekly meetings. If we have a question about a snippet, they answer it right there in the thread, usually within an hour or two.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ranketize respects developers' time. Most consultants hand you a 50-page slide deck full of general advice that our engineers don't have time to decipher. Ranketize does the opposite. Their documentation is concise, technical, and directly applicable to what our dev team needs to paste into our codebase.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Ranketize gives us the exact code snippets and configurations, but our developers still have to do the heavy lifting of writing the pull requests and pushing to production. It would be great if they had a staging environment or a visual sandbox where non-technical managers could preview how pages look to bots before the engineers push the code live.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of marketing for Park Square Capital, a private credit investor. We provide direct loans and capital solutions to mid-market and large companies in Europe and the US. We manage over $17 billion for global institutional investors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

In private credit, trust matters a lot. We noticed a couple of AI tools were describing us with outdated fund information when we tested them out of curiosity. That worried us enough to look into it properly instead of just hoping it would sort itself out.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has started with a risk audit, checking how we show up across different AI tools and flagging anything inaccurate or outdated. From there, we’ve had a few consulting sessions to figure out what to fix first, given how careful we have to be about anything public-facing in this industry.

Ranketize mostly audits and consults on our end. They identify what’s wrong and tell us exactly how to fix it. Our compliance and web teams make most of the changes since anything public-facing needs to go through our internal approval process first.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found them through an online search. They offered good value for the cost and were referred to me.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent around $10,000–$49,999.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June  2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The audit itself is the biggest value, honestly. It has surfaced outdated fund details on a few third-party sites we didn’t even know existed. After getting those corrected, the AI tools we’ve tested describe us accurately for the first time in a while.

We’ve noticed a couple of third-party sites that used to show our old fund size and outdated leadership information now reflect the correct details after we’ve made the fixes Ranketize has flagged. When we’ve retested a few AI tools afterward, the descriptions they give us are accurate for the first time. No more outdated numbers or old team names show up.

We haven’t run a formal count before and after the audit. We’ve mostly spot-checked the handful of AI tools and third-party sites Ranketize has flagged in the audit and confirmed they’re showing the correct information once we’ve made the fixes.

We’ve received a little feedback from clients and stakeholders about the improved accuracy of our online information after these changes. One of our partners has mentioned in passing that our fund details look accurate when they’ve checked us out on a couple of sites. It’s a nice, if small, confirmation that the fixes have landed the way we want.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Ranketize is careful and thorough, which is what we need because of our industry. They double-check things with us before finalizing anything that’s public-facing. They never rush us into decisions we’re not ready for.

Our primary form of communication with Ranketize is virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ranketize’s awareness of how sensitive this stuff is in financial services is impressive. They don’t just hand us generic recommendations. They clearly think about compliance and accuracy the whole way through.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The process has taken longer than we expected. One reason is our internal approvals. Another reason is that their recommendations come with a lot of details to work through. If we had a condensed summary version, it would have sped up our reviews.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of growth at The Martec, an AI-powered platform that helps employers create personalized, employee-sourced content and advocacy to enhance recruitment and connect with talent.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

We needed a cost-effective way to build authority and get leads. We specifically wanted to get recommended in AI search engines like Perplexity and Google AI overviews. Additionally, we wanted to try Reddit marketing without looking spammy or getting banned.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has reworked our content and online presence so AI tools can easily read our information and start recommending us naturally. The team has also set up community posts and run two AMAs for us on Reddit, targeting our ideal users. Moreover, Ranketize has created content for us and given us strategic advice during regular consulting calls to help us keep our content on track.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

I found Ranketize through an online search. The team’s pricing fit our budget, and they were referred to me.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $50,000–$199,999.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Ranketize in February 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The two Reddit AMAs alone have brought in over 200 good leads, which we’ve tracked through UTM links and forms. We’ve also started showing up naturally in responses on Perplexity and Google AI overviews. We’ve tested this through keywords.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything has gone well. Ranketize knows a lot about the rules on Reddit, so we don’t have to worry about getting in trouble. It’s easy to talk to their team, and the meetings we’ve had with them have always been helpful and made sense. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I like that Ranketize knows much about Reddit. The platform can be hard for companies because people don’t like it when you talk about yourself much. Still, Ranketize knows how to make us fit in and get good results at the same time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their prices are a bit too high for companies that don’t have a lot of money to spend. It would be nice if Ranketize had some options that we could do on our own for little things instead of having to work with their team for everything.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the operations manager of Stagity Solutions LLC, an IT consulting firm providing technology services and solutions — including application development, big data analytics, and AI — to businesses of all sizes across the US, helping clients improve productivity and reduce costs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Ranketize to accomplish for Stagity Solutions?

We hired Ranketize for their technical setup service to ensure our website was ready for AI search platforms and to help AI tools understand our content better.

SOLUTION

Can you describe the scope of work Ranketize handled for this project with Stagity Solutions? Please include the main deliverables if you can.

Ranketize first went through our website and identified some technical issues that were quietly hurting our online visibility. After that, they laid out a clear, step-by-step plan for us, helped rework our website structure, suggested a bunch of technical updates, and stayed hands-on with our team to ensure everything was set up properly.

As part of the technical updates, Ranketize improved our website structure, added clear schema markup, optimized metadata, and fixed technical issues to make our content easier for AI platforms and search engines to understand.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found Ranketize through an online search. Their pricing fit our budget, and they were referred to me.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $15,000 with Ranketize.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Ranketize from March to May 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from your project with Ranketize that showed progress or success for Stagity Solutions?

After the work was completed, our site was noticeably faster and performed better overall. The content structure was a lot cleaner, and our team felt more confident knowing the site was set up for whatever comes next with AI search. We tracked page load speed, organic traffic, and AI search visibility. Page load speed improved by 25%, and organic traffic increased by 18% within three months.

Within a few months, we noticed our brand appeared more often in AI-generated answers, and our visibility across AI-powered search platforms improved by around 20%.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Ranketize’s project management was solid. Tasks were completed on time, and we got regular updates. When we had questions, they replied quickly and explained things. We communicated via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

What impressed us most was Ranketize’s focus on useful, practical improvements instead of big promises. Their recommendations were straightforward, matched our needs, and made technical stuff easy to understand.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, it was a very positive experience. As a small suggestion, Ranketize could offer a short post-project guide so clients can maintain the technical improvements more easily on their own.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of marketing at CoEnterprise, an IT company. We provide B2B software and professional services, specializing in supply chain and business analytics solutions like Syncrofy, which offers data visibility and actionable insights to help companies make faster, more informed decisions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

We needed to understand why our brand was omitted from AI-generated recommendations (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) in our category and increase the likelihood of being referenced when prospects asked for project management tool recommendations.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has conducted an AI visibility risk audit across 40+ prompts. The team has also handled the technical GEO setup (schema, llms.txt, robots.txt, AI-crawler configuration), content and entity building (LinkedIn articles, Quora answers, GitHub pages), Reddit community engagement in relevant subreddits, and monthly directional tracking reports with sentiment analysis.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found Ranketize through an online search. We chose them over other options because their pricing fit our budget.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Ranketize in May 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Ranketize’s work has increased our AI mention rate in sampled prompts from 8% to 34%. Our sales team has also logged 12 prospect references to AI recommendations in Q2. In addition, our Reddit referral traffic has grown from 0 to 340 sessions per month with a 4+ minute average session duration. Moreover, our brand confusion with a similarly named company has dropped significantly, with correct AI identification rising from 30% to 80%.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Ranketize’s deliverables are consistently on time. We have a dedicated account manager with biweekly and monthly calls. The team proactively flags issues (e.g., Reddit rule changes) and is responsive to feedback. Ranketize has adjusted the content tone within one week based on our input.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ranketize’s deep technical understanding of how LLMs weight sources and stitch entity signals is impressive. The team isn’t just SEO rebranded.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Ranketize’s monthly reports are thorough but dense. A lighter one-page executive summary would complement the full methodology documentation. In addition, clearer early-stage expectations around the Reddit engagement ramp period would reduce client anxiety in months one and two.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the senior director of marketing at CartonCloud, a transport and warehouse management system provider. We use automation and mobile technology to help logistics companies streamline operations, reduce paperwork, and access real-time data from any device.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

IT buyers had started asking tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity for endpoint security recommendations before ever hitting our website, and we just weren't part of those answers. We knew we were losing consideration in a channel we couldn't even see clearly, and none of our existing SEO efforts touched it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has started by mapping where we stand compared to our competitors across AI tools. Then, they've moved into tasks. These tasks involve cleaning up product information on review sites and directories like G2, Capterra, and Gartner. They've also restructured some of our content to make it easier for AI tools to understand. Additionally, they track our visibility on a regular basis.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found Ranketize through an online search. We chose them over other options because their pricing fit our budget and offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Ranketize in February 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We started showing up when testing AI tools for endpoint security comparisons, something that just wasn't happening before. A few prospects have mentioned during discovery calls that they'd come across us through an AI-generated answer, which is new for us. We've also seen a modest lift in organic traffic, somewhere around 12%, that lines up with the timing of Ranketize's work.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Ranketize has performed well from a project management standpoint. We have calls that focus on actual progress, not just repeated talking points. If any task is going to take longer than expected, they communicate it early before we have to find out on our own. That transparency helps keep things on track.We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I'm impressed by how much Ranketize understands our specific industry. Cybersecurity buyers are skeptical and technical, and it shows that Ranketize doesn't just apply a generic content playbook; they actually think about how our audience evaluates vendors.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Results have taken a little longer to materialize than we initially hoped, mostly because our space is pretty niche and technical.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing director of Serious Skincare, a retail company. We offer a wide range of anti-aging and acne treatment skincare products, cosmetics, and beauty solutions developed by Jennifer Flavin-Stallone, targeting various skin concerns for all skin types.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

We sell a niche product, and many potential customers were on Reddit asking for recommendations in our category threads, where we had zero presence. On top of that, we weren’t showing up when people asked AI shopping tools for suggestions either.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize handles both sides for us. On Reddit, they find the communities and get involved in relevant threads without ever feeling like an ad. On the AI visibility side, they clean up our product info so tools like ChatGPT can describe us correctly when asked.
We get monthly reports tracking where we’re showing up, along with a handful of Reddit posts and replies in relevant skincare communities. Ranketize also updates our product descriptions and some site metadata so AI tools can describe our ingredients and benefits more accurately.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found them through an online search. We picked Ranketize because they actually understood AI and Reddit visibility, not just recycled SEO pitches like everyone else we talked to.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve started seeing a handful of orders come in from customers who mentioned finding us on Reddit, something that just didn’t happen before. We’ve also noticed our product getting mentioned correctly when we test a few AI shopping assistants ourselves.We estimate that we’ve received around 60–70 new orders over the past few months that we can directly trace back to someone mentioning Reddit at checkout.
We’ve also noticed a small bump in traffic, maybe around 8–10%, that we loosely tie to Ranketize’s work. However, we haven’t set up a proper way to track visits coming specifically from AI shopping assistants, so it’s more of a rough guess than a hard number.Additionally, a few customers have mentioned in reviews or support chats that they asked ChatGPT for skincare recommendations and got pointed to us, which is a nice little signal even without hard numbers behind it.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re easy to work with. We have monthly updates that are actually readable, not just a spreadsheet. Ranketize also provides quick answers whenever we have questions in between. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

How natural the Reddit engagement feels is impressive. We were nervous it would come off as fake or salesy, but it never does. People respond to it like a recommendation, not an ad.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We would’ve liked a bit of guidance early on about what results to realistically expect and by when. It took us a while to understand what good progress actually looked like.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the product marketing lead at a digital asset management company. We provide a user-friendly platform for growing DTC brands, helping marketers and creatives organize, find, and use visual content efficiently to launch campaigns faster.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

We needed a way to compete for visibility without spending on paid ads for everything. As a smaller team, that budget adds up fast, so we wanted a more sustainable path to getting found.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize worked on strengthening our presence so AI tools could understand what we do and recommend us accurately. That meant fixing how our product info showed up online and ongoing visibility work. The team updated some pages on our site to better explain what we do, fixed our metadata, and ensured our product info was consistent across places AI tools tend to pull from. They also gave us monthly reports so we could see what was changing.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

I found Ranketize through an online search. Their pricing fit our budget, and someone referred them to me.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Ranketize from February to May 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve seen more organic traffic since starting our engagement with Ranketize. Our demo requests have gone up around 15%, and a chunk of those already know what we do, so the quality feels better than the raw number. Our organic traffic is up around 20%, and our rankings for new keywords we care about have moved up a couple of spots.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

Ranketize’s project management is solid. They break everything into manageable steps instead of giving us a huge to-do list. Their consulting calls give us clear direction we can act on right away, not vague suggestions. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messages.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed by how hands-on Ranketize is and how well they know this space. Nothing has felt overwhelming, even though AI visibility is a pretty new and confusing topic for most of us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their pricing is a bit steep for a smaller team like ours, and some tasks still need real effort on our end. More self-service options for quick updates would cut down on back and forth.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of sales at Peec AI, a company that helps businesses analyze and enhance their visibility in AI-driven search results.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

Prospects on sales calls kept mentioning they’d found us through an AI tool, but we had no strategy behind that at all; it was just luck. We wanted to understand and influence how we show up when people ask AI assistants about tools like ours.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has started with a consulting engagement to map out where we stand and what matters most in our category. From there, they’ve moved into ongoing visibility work, tightening up our entity info and getting us more present in relevant online discussions.We’ve received an initial audit report and ongoing monthly visibility reports tracking where we show up in AI answers. Ranketize has also updated some of our website content and metadata and done outreach in a few relevant online communities where our target buyers hang out.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

I found them through an online search. Their pricing fit our budget, and they were referred to me.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in April 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Sales calls where prospects say an AI tool mentioned us have gone from rare to fairly common. We’re not entirely sure how to attribute revenue directly, but our sales team notices it and mentions it in our pipeline reviews. We’ve roughly tripled our AI-driven mentions. We used to show up in one out of every 10 relevant AI queries we tested before, and now it’s closer to 3–4 out of 10.We’ve also seen a 10%–15% increase in website traffic that we can loosely tie to Ranketize’s work. The leads coming in through that channel seem to already know more about us before they talk to sales, which makes those first conversations easier.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

They have good communication throughout, mostly over Slack, which works well for us given the time zone overlap. Ranketize sticks to deadlines and gives us a heads-up early whenever something needs more time.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ranketize actually thinks like salespeople, not just marketers. Every recommendation comes back to whether it’ll help us close deals rather than just chasing traffic or rankings for their own sake.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We would’ve liked a bit more detail on how they’re measuring success early in the engagement. It took a couple of months before we felt like we really understood their reporting.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of Farther, a wealth management platform that helps clients grow and manage their financial assets. We offer services through a network of wealth managers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ranketize?

We wanted to ensure AI tools weren’t spreading wrong or outdated information about our company since that’s a big deal in financial services. We also wanted our technical setup cleaned up so our team didn’t have to keep managing it manually.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ranketize has dug in and found where things were off, then fixed the technical side of things so AI tools would have accurate information to pull from. They’ve also handled some of the setup work our internal team didn’t have time for. For example, they’ve cleaned up some outdated content on our site, fixed a few metadata and schema issues, and ensured our business information is consistent across the places AI tools tend to pull from. Nothing flashy, just the behind-the-scenes stuff that actually needed fixing.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Ranketize.

How did you come to work with Ranketize?

We found them through an online search. We chose them over other options because their pricing fit our budget.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in May 2026, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Our sales conversations have gotten easier, honestly. We’ve spent less time clearing up confusion early on because prospects don’t show up with wrong assumptions about us anymore. We’ve also seen a small uptick in qualified leads, maybe around 10%, but we aren’t running a strict before-and-after comparison.

How did Ranketize perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve delivered on time. We’ve communicated through virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ranketize clearly understands that compliance and accuracy matter more in financial services than in most industries. Their technical setup work has also taken a real load off our internal team.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Quicker responses would go a long way. I’d also like to see them shake up the strategy more often instead of it feeling stuck on repeat.
