AI Search
Search that answers, and search that ranks.
AI search at ShoutRank is the work of being named in an answer and still owning the query in classic search. The two are measured separately.
The same URL has to rank, be quotable, be named in chat, and be a source in the overview.
A named result is published when that client clears the figure.
The work
What this is
Buyers already ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google. Some of those products cite a page. An agent may also fetch a page and act on it. Google’s AI Overview is a different surface, sitting above the blue links. Mixing those logs hides which one moved.
The pages below split the practice. AEO is the center. GEO is generative chat. AIO is the Google overview. Rankings stay on the SEO side of the desk.

Check the page you want people to find.
The free check shows the gaps on one public page. If the gap is this service, a neighboring one, or a two-week review, we will say so after you ask.
