Why we built this
In early 2025, we were running pricing experiments on a SaaS side project. We noticed that the standard SEO playbook — keyword targeting, backlinks, on-page optimization — was steadily losing impact. People weren't finding us through Google searches anymore. They were finding us through ChatGPT recommendations, Reddit threads, podcast mentions, and AI-summarized roundups.
The problem: there was no easy way to measure whether AI assistants actually recommended our brand. The tools that did exist were enterprise-priced ($500+/mo) and built for big-brand marketing teams, not for founders trying to figure out if they show up at all.
So we built AI Rank Grow — affordable, self-serve, honest. No demos, no sales calls, no enterprise lock-in. Just paste a domain, see your visibility, get the exact fix list.
What we believe
- Distribution is becoming brand-led. The era of “rank a page for a keyword” is fading. The era of “your brand is the answer” is here.
- Tracking is necessary but not sufficient. Scores without a fix list are anxiety, not utility. We close the loop.
- Pricing should be public. If a SaaS company hides pricing, they're optimizing for sales overhead, not customer outcomes.
- Indie founders deserve enterprise-grade tools. Pro features at Fortune-500 vendors shouldn't cost $5K/mo. We'll do it for $99 and stay profitable.
The team
We're a small team — small enough that the founders still answer support emails (and write the blog posts). Based mostly remote, working asynchronously across time zones.
The basics
- Founded: 2025
- Headquarters: Remote — incorporated in Delaware, USA
- Funding: Bootstrapped, profitable, no outside investors
- Customers: 12,000+ founders, marketers and agencies worldwide
- Engines covered: ChatGPT (GPT-4o), Gemini (2.5 Flash), Claude (Sonnet 4.5); Perplexity coming soon
We're not VC-funded. We're bootstrapping, profitable, and intend to stay that way. Our incentive is your retention, not your annual contract.
