About AlpineRank

AlpineRank analyzes a webpage to determine how AI search engines perceive and potentially cite it. The tool performs 25 AI-search questions and six technical checks on the page, generating a report in about 30 seconds without requiring an account or credit card. It first fetches the page as a crawler would, identifying the site type and page topic separately. The 25 questions are derived from real user queries in the page’s topic area, covering cost, comparisons, how-to, and trust, and are generated independently of the page’s content to avoid bias. Each question receives a score of Covered, Partial, or Missing based on the page’s actual content, followed by technical checks on the page itself. The tool also verifies whether five of the questions are cited by AI engines like Perplexity or OpenAI, reporting which answers included the domain as a source. The report highlights gaps with paste-ready fixes in the page’s detected language and flags unverified checks, such as crawler access issues, without inflating scores. The methodology emphasizes transparency, showing exactly which questions were tested and how the page scored, rather than providing vague or inflated metrics.

Frequently asked questions about AlpineRank

What is a GEO audit and how is it different from SEO?

A GEO audit evaluates how AI search engines perceive and potentially cite a webpage, focusing on whether the content answers real user queries in the page’s topic area. Unlike SEO, which optimizes for traditional search engines, GEO audits assess content relevance for AI assistants like Perplexity or OpenAI.

How does AlpineRank generate the 25 AI-search questions?

The 25 questions are derived from real user queries in the page’s topic area, covering cost, comparisons, how-to, and trust. They are generated independently of the page’s content to avoid bias and remain frozen per URL for consistent re-audits.

What does the citation check involve?

Five of the 25 questions are submitted to AI engines like Perplexity and OpenAI to check if the domain is cited as a source. The tool reports which answers included the domain, providing a snapshot rather than a rate.

Can I compare my page against competitors using AlpineRank?

Yes, paid plans allow auditing a competing page and comparing it side by side with your own, question by question, to identify gaps in coverage.

What happens if the tool cannot verify a technical check, such as crawler access?

If a technical check like crawler access cannot be verified, AlpineRank reports it as 'unable to verify' with the reason, such as a 403 error or timeout, and excludes it from the average score rather than counting it as a pass.

How are fixes generated for gaps identified in the audit?

Each gap in the audit comes with paste-ready fixes in the page’s detected language. The tool ensures generated fixes do not include facts unsupported by the page, such as dates or prices, to maintain accuracy.
