New walkthrough: the ZeroRank AI Agent, explained step by step Hey everyone, If you've used ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or whatever you're using, you know you can connect it to other apps and do things inside them through your AI agent. The ZeroRank agent works in a very similar way. The difference is that it connects to all your historical data, your tracked prompts and everything in your account. So it has a lot more context on how to get your brand seen in AI answers. I just recorded a full walkthrough of the agent area. Here is what I cover: * The "Discover what AI says about you" shortcut right from your dashboard * Picking content to ask about, for example visibility or rankings, so the chat knows exactly what you mean * Opportunities, for example getting added to listicles where your competitors are already cited. Click plan and the agent maps out the actions for you * Commands for asking quick questions without typing the whole sentence * MCP connectors. They go back and forth, so you can write data into your CRM and also get information back to your agent * Skills. These are basically text files that make your agent more productive. You can duplicate the ZeroRank ones (prompt writer, citation pitch, brand voice edit) or create your own * Personal context. Tell the AI how you like to work, for example "make your answers short" * Brand context and the brand kit: knowledge base, audience segments, profile and voice One honest thing: in the video my visibility score is 0, because I haven't promoted that brand online at all yet. So you'll see what the agent says when you're starting from scratch. My biggest tip: fill in your brand context. The more context the agent has, the better the outcomes. Quick question for you: which part are you using the most right now? The opportunities, the skills, or the connectors? Let me know in the comments. And if you get stuck, use the live chat in the bottom right corner of ZeroRank or just ask here. Have a wonderful day!

Agent Brain walkthrough: how to give your ZeroRank agents better context Hey everyone, I just recorded a walkthrough of Agent Brain in ZeroRank. Agent Brain gives important context to all the agents you're using, so you get better results. If your agent's output feels a bit off, this is usually the place to look. What I go through in the video: * The first-time tour and what the brand records, personal record and connected sources are * Generating your company, offerings, audience, strategy and execution records with one click * What to do when it says there isn't enough data: brand kit, audience segments, knowledge base * Personal context, so you can tell your agent how you work * Skills: what they are (basically just text), duplicating one like Brand voice edit, and creating a new skill I know you might not want to spend time on setup, but in most cases it's very easy, you just go ahead and click generate and then edit or regenerate if you think it could do a better job. Have you set up your Agent Brain yet? Which record didn't have enough data for you? Reply below and I'll help you fill it in.

What makes AI visibility data trustworthy? In this short clip, ZeroRank co-founder Besmir sits down with Chris Panteli to talk about how the platform was built and the work behind the numbers. 🧩 THE PROBLEM It started with a problem in our own SaaS business. We couldn't find a tool that did exactly what we wanted for tracking AI search. So Besmir asked our co-founder Kelvin, a very passionate and extremely good programmer, if he was up for building it. Kelvin said: "Okay, give me 3 months." He barely left his room for those 3 months. As Besmir puts it, with AI models like Claude you don't need a team of 10 people to build something cool anymore. You need someone really good and motivated. 🔬 WHY THE DATA IS DIFFERENT According to Besmir, most tools just use an API to get an overview, and it's never the real stuff. Kelvin found a way to emulate real searches: real people in different geos asking ChatGPT or Perplexity a specific query, like "What are the best landing page builders?" He aggregated that data, and for the first time the numbers matched. When Besmir typed that question into his own ChatGPT, the brands he saw matched what the tool showed. That match between your prompt tracking data and what a real user sees is what makes LLM visibility data worth trusting. 📈 FROM DATA TO ACTION Then Kelvin took it further, so the tool gives actual insights on how to improve: get on this Reddit thread, post this YouTube video. Using it on one of our own brands in the landing page builder space, Besmir says we went from around 11% visibility score to around 45% in a month or two. If you're exploring AI visibility tracking, answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO), this is the short version of why we care so much about data quality.

In AEO, GEO and SEO, we're constantly looking at brands. A messy brand list means messy AI visibility data: competitors counted as random companies, one company split into two, brands you don't care about crowding your charts. This tutorial walks through the Brands area in ZeroRank and how to clean up the brands you track, so your AI search visibility, brand mentions and competitor data actually make sense. 🧭 WHERE BRANDS SHOW UP Brands are everywhere in ZeroRank: • Overview: the top 8 brands and their visibility. You can view all the data from your brand's perspective or another brand's. • Show all: the full list of tracked brands. Search it or download it. • Top sources: some sources are brands too • Recent chats: the brands mentioned in each answer One key point: in the Brands area, "brands" means your competitors. When you filter top sources by Competitors, what you see are exactly the brands you've set there. 🔧 BRAND DETAILS Click any brand to see and edit: • Name (for example Obsidian) • Notes • Alternate names your competitor is known by • Domain • Color From here you can also merge it into another brand, delete it, or save changes. ⚠️ WATCH YOUR FILTERS Filters can stick around. I had filtered Sources by Competitors and didn't clear it, so the overview only showed competitors in top sources. If you only see competitors, clear the filter. Click a category in the overview and it filters again, so keep an eye on it. ✅ STEP 1: APPROVE OR REJECT SUGGESTED BRANDS When you first open Brands you might see a long list of suggested brands. Go through it: • Reject what isn't a competitor. For my app, Dropbox and iCloud got rejected. • Approve what is. • Or approve all if you're confident, then scroll down and check. Bulk actions let you select many brands to merge or stop tracking at once. I had 109 selected, so I didn't do that. Sometimes you might want to treat a website as a competitor just to try to outrank it. In most cases that's not the plan, but you can.

Sources is one of my favorite ZeroRank features, because it shows what's working right now in AI search for the prompts we're tracking. Every domain and every URL in Sources is something ChatGPT and the other AI models actually used to answer those prompts. If you care about GEO (generative engine optimization) or AEO (answer engine optimization), this is where you see which pages earn citations, and why. In this walkthrough I use Obsidian as the example brand. My own app, Typer, isn't online anywhere except its website yet, so it doesn't have much data. 🧩 HOW PROMPTS CONNECT TO SOURCES Your prompts live in the Prompts area, grouped into topics. Everything in Sources (every domain, every URL) is what the AI used to answer those prompts. Change your prompts and the sources change too. 🎛️ STEP 1: SET YOUR FILTERS The data changes depending on: • Topics: filter by topic, country and tags • Models: which AI models you're looking at • Time frame • Brand: your own, or a competitor's, so you can see the data as if you were them Filtering by topic matters if your product or service has more than one ideal client. Connect topics to each client segment, and when you work on articles or pages you want cited in AI answers, filter by those topics. 🌐 STEP 2: THE DOMAINS VIEW Domains is the default view. The percentages can go above 100% when a source is used more than once in a single chat reply. Domains groups all the URLs from the same site. For example, the different iA Writer URLs get grouped under one domain, same with Obsidian, apps.apple.com, Reddit and YouTube. Click a domain to see its URLs, sorted by how often they're used. Use the tooltips. They tell you when ZeroRank last fetched the content from each URL, whether your chosen brand is mentioned, and the URL type. 🔗 STEP 3: THE URLS VIEW For each URL you see: • URL type: listicle, comparison, product page, homepage • Whether your chosen brand was mentioned • Brand mentions and competitors on the page. Hover the "+3" to see the full list.
