FAQ: how often should you track AI search rankings
Updated 2026-10-27
Frequently asked questions
How often should you track AI search rankings?
Track AI search rankings daily. At RyanAI we monitor four AI engines every day and publish a single AI Visibility Score (0–100) daily; this cadence catches rapid changes in recommendations and lets us run reversible fixes automatically while larger fixes wait for your approval. For most local businesses, daily tracking balances timely responses with meaningful trends.
Which AI assistants do you monitor?
We track four AI engines daily: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Monitoring all four gives a broad view of whether AI assistants recommend a business across the major conversational sources.
What is an AI Visibility Score and how is it calculated?
RyanAI produces one daily AI Visibility Score out of 100 based on our tracking of recommendations across the four monitored engines. If you want more detail, ask how much weight is given to each engine, which recommendation signals are counted, and whether local/regional context is included.
How quickly do you act when visibility drops?
Reversible fixes run automatically as part of our daily process, and any non-reversible changes wait for your approval. We reply within one business day to requests or proposed fixes and provide a fixed price before work starts.
Is there a long-term contract required?
No — the service is month-to-month, operated by RyanAI and approved by the client. Each piece of work is quoted at a fixed price before it begins, so you can continue or stop with monthly notice.
Who is RyanAI best suited for?
RyanAI works with local and regional businesses that compete on being recommended, including restaurants, dental and medical practices, and skincare and beauty studios. We’re a Missouri-based solo AI studio that serves clients remotely in Central Time.
Do you offer a free assessment before signing up?
Yes — we provide a free AI visibility check before any retainer discussion so you can see baseline recommendations and gaps. After that check, any ongoing work is proposed at a fixed price and runs month-to-month.
How are fixes approved and billed?
Reversible fixes are applied automatically; all other fixes are presented for your approval before we implement them. Billing is done at fixed price terms agreed before work starts, and the engagement remains month-to-month.
How do you show progress over time?
Progress is tracked with daily monitoring of the four engines and the daily AI Visibility Score (0–100), producing time-series data you can use to compare trends. If you need specific delivery formats or dashboards, ask about how data and updates will be shared and how frequently you’ll receive summaries.
