Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about RankGap.

RankGap asks AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) questions about your industry and checks if they mention your brand in their responses. For example, if you run an SEO tool, we ask 'What are the best SEO tools?' and see if you get recommended. This helps you understand your visibility in AI-powered search.

Our comprehensive audit analyzes 17 metrics: AI Crawlability, Content Structure, Schema Markup, Content Freshness, Date Signals, Topical Authority, Citation Potential, Platform Visibility, Core Web Vitals, Mobile Friendliness, Security, Social Meta Tags, Content Depth, E-E-A-T Signals, Image Optimization, Internal Linking, and Readability. You get a score for each plus prioritized action items.

Ask questions about your SEO in plain English like 'Why are my rankings dropping?' or 'How do I improve my schema markup?' The AI assistant analyzes your audit results and Google Search Console data to give personalized, actionable recommendations.

Yes. We use read-only access to Google Search Console and never modify anything. Your data is encrypted, stored securely, and never shared with third parties.
