Ranking is not being named
Assistants answer prompts, not keywords, and the page that wins position one often loses the answer. Where the two come apart, and how to check it.

Notes on rankings and AI answers
Written for people who do this for a living. Prices, per-check costs and what a tool actually tracks, with the date we checked it.

What ends up here
One post so far, and that is on purpose. Posting weekly to keep a blog looking busy is the exact behaviour this product exists to argue against, so the list grows when something is worth checking.
- Numbers anyone can verify. Competitor pricing, what a check actually costs to run, what a plan really tracks, always with the date it was checked.
- What we learn running the full cycle: which kinds of change moved a citation, and which did nothing at all.
- No news roundups and no predictions about the future of search.
If you would rather see your own numbers than read about somebody else’s, the free scan runs five prompts against one assistant and checks whether an agent can read your site. No signup.
