RankSage watches how ten answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and five more — and Google AI Overviews answer the questions your buyers ask, records who gets cited, and joins the result to your Search Console, GA4 and first-party data, page by page, so the next fix is obvious.
Each of these needs two sources joined at the page. That join is the product.
Where do AI answers put you, what should you change, and what do real visitors do when they arrive? Every tool answers one of these. RankSage answers all three against the same page.
Where AI answers put you
Your prompts, run against ten answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and five more — plus Google AI Overviews read from live result pages. Every run keeps the answer text, who was cited, and how confident the result is — so share of voice is a measurement, not a vibe.

What to change
Every crawled page scored for depth, structure and whether an AI can lift a clean answer out of it. Then the other half of the job: briefs built from your own site and your competitor's, and research-grounded drafts where every citation has been checked before you read it.

What visitors actually do
A 5KB script of your own, encrypted before it leaves the browser. It records rage clicks, dead clicks, abandoned forms, slow paints and errors — then puts that beside each page's content score, which is where the real priorities hide.

Scroll-back to the intro
The reason five dashboards never add up is that none of them agree on the row. RankSage uses one: the page.

About five minutes. The first audit starts on its own.
Evidence store
Evidence first. Scores are derived from it, never asserted.
Every item can be traced back to the check that raised it.
Sign in to Google Analytics 4 and Search Console. Nothing goes on your site and no CMS work is needed — RankSage reads what you already have.
The 5KB first-party script and your CMS are a second step, whenever you want them.
It crawls your pages and your competitors', asks ten answer engines your prompts, and records what each result-page actually looked like on the day it was captured.
Signals join at the page, and the result is a ranked list of what to fix next — each item carrying the evidence that put it there, and a route into Jira, Linear or your inbox.
Answer-engine tools are easy to build and hard to trust, because almost nothing they report can be independently verified by the person reading it. These two habits are how RankSage earns the benefit of the doubt.
A 5KB script with no dependencies, encrypted with AES-GCM before it leaves the browser. Rage clicks, dead clicks, abandoned forms, slow paints, script and network errors — each one is processed, not estimated from a sample.
A user agent is a claim, not evidence. Every AI-crawler hit is checked back against the operator's own DNS records before it counts. Spoofed hits are kept and labelled rather than quietly folded into your totals.
Address resolves to the operator's published records
Claimed GPTBot, resolved to an unrelated host
Operator publishes no records to check against
Unverifiable is its own bucket on purpose. It is never counted as a confirmed visit, and never dropped either.
Google Analytics 4 and Search Console are the two that matter on day one. Everything else is optional: pull in product analytics, publish through your CMS, and push the resulting work items straight into your tracker.
