Why it matters

Small businesses lose AI answers to bigger names by default.

AI repeats what it reads

Larger companies have more articles, reviews and videos about them, so AI names them more often.

Owners have no spare hours

Writing guides, filming videos and posting on several platforms every month is a job in itself.

Steady coverage changes the picture

In a focused niche, regular content that names you for the right searches can put you on the list.

How it works

You approve the plan. Rankera does the rest.

One setup, then hands-off

Your business details are captured once: products, prices, what makes you different and how you sound. Every piece uses them, so you are not briefing writers each month.

Six kinds of content for each search

An article on an independent website in your industry, run by Rankera, that names and recommends you, plus a Medium article, a YouTube video, a Short, an Instagram Reel and a short summary page on GitHub, a site Google and AI tools read often.

Stay in control when you want

Read, edit, approve or reject articles before they go live, and change the searches or titles in your monthly plan before anything is made.

Online or local, both fit. Rankera suits businesses that sell online across the country as well as businesses that serve one town. For searches built around a city or a neighbourhood, see the local businesses page.

Good fits include online shops, consultants and coaches, B2B service firms, independent software makers, one-person agencies, clinics and trades, as long as customers search before they buy.

What is AI SEO for small business?

It is getting a smaller company named when customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. That means appearing in the guides, comparisons and videos those answers draw from, for the searches customers make when they are ready to buy. Rankera does that work for you every month.

Do I need a marketing team to use Rankera?

No. Rankera handles the research, planning, writing, videos and publishing. Your part is a short setup so your business details are right. After that you can approve articles and edit the monthly plan whenever you like, or leave it running and check the dashboard.

How much does AI SEO cost for a small business?

Plans start at $250 a month for 20 target searches. For each search, Rankera publishes a mention on an industry website, a Medium article, a YouTube video, a Short, an Instagram Reel and a GitHub page. Bigger plans cover more searches, up to 350 a month for $2,000. Premium niches such as cannabis, iGaming and adult are priced at 3x.

Is the $250 plan enough for a small business?

For many small businesses it is a sensible place to start. It covers 20 searches a month, each with a full set of content. Searches that do not fit this month are kept for later months, and a bigger plan covers more of them sooner. Rankera does not promise rankings, so you can see in your dashboard whether it is working.

How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?

Get your business named in the sources ChatGPT reads for your type of product or service. Rankera publishes those mentions around the searches your customers make, on industry websites it runs and on Medium, YouTube, Instagram and GitHub. Rankera checks Google AI Overviews daily; it does not measure ChatGPT answers daily, but ChatGPT relies on the same kind of sources.

Is this only for local businesses?

No. Many small businesses sell online to customers anywhere, and Rankera targets their searches too: best-of lists, alternatives, comparisons and price questions. Businesses that depend on city or "near me" searches can have those in their plan as well, and the local businesses page covers that in more detail.

Does Rankera change my website or my links?

No. Rankera does not edit your website. The articles on its industry websites name and recommend your business without linking to your site, so they do not change your site's links in any way. Your YouTube video descriptions do link to your website.

How do I see results?

You see them in your dashboard. Every morning Rankera checks your target searches in Google and shows whether an AI Overview appears, whether it names you, whether it links to you, and where your site, videos and Medium articles rank. You see how each search looked when you started and how it looks now.
