About RankLens

RankLens measures how visible a brand is inside large language models (LLMs). It runs controlled sampling of AI responses, tracks where and how often your brand is mentioned, and normalizes the results into a Visibility Index so you can benchmark and track AI brand presence over time. RankLens is based on Entity-Conditioned Probing + Resampling principles.
