# Ranklet

> Ranklet turns a keyword into an SEO content brief built from the live Google top 10 in under 30 seconds, with GEO (generative engine optimization) writing instructions so the finished page can be quoted by AI search. It also records what ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini answer for the keyword today, and scores a published page's citability.

Ranklet is for freelance content writers, in-house content marketers, SEO and content agencies, and agencies selling AI-visibility services.

## Products

Copy as Markdown on every plan; PDF export on paid plans.
- AI Answer Snapshots: asks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini the questions behind a keyword and records each answer and the pages it cites.
- Citability Audit: scores a live page from 0 to 100 on how liftable it is for AI answers: answer-first opening, FAQ section, attributed statistics, outbound sources, question headings, comparison table, last-updated date, AI crawler access, server rendering and HTTPS.
