// manifesto
Search changed.
Most sites didn't.
Rankport exists because the way people find things online is splitting in two, and the tools marketers rely on still assume only one of those ways matters.
// the problem
Two kinds of search. One site has to serve both.
The blue-link search you know is still real. Google processes billions of queries a day. A high page-one ranking still sends traffic. That has not changed.
What has changed is that a growing share of those queries now get answered before anyone clicks. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and a dozen smaller engines compose an answer from the web and deliver it directly. If your site is not legible to those systems, you are not cited. You are not found.
The uncomfortable part: the sites that are invisible to AI answer engines often look perfectly functional to a human visitor. A pricing table rendered as an image. An FAQ loaded by a JavaScript widget. A product description buried inside a tab panel. All of it invisible to an AI crawler, all of it costing you citations you will never see missed.
Blue-link results
Classic search
Google crawls your pages, indexes text, ranks by relevance and authority. You get clicks when you rank.
Zero-click answers
AI answer engines
ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews parse your content to compose answers. You get cited when they can read you.
// our stance
Tell the uncomfortable truth plainly. Give fixes anyone can understand. Put the marketer back in control
The default reaction to AI search is fear: agencies selling "AI-proof SEO packages," consultants warning that everything is broken. We do not think that helps. Most of what makes a site legible to AI answer engines is the same discipline that made good SEO for a decade: clear structure, accessible text, crawlable pages.
The new piece is auditing whether your content survives the machine-parse, not just the human visit. That is a tractable, fixable problem. You do not need an agency to solve it. You need a clear report and the knowledge to act on it.
// what we built
One score. Four checks. A complete report.
The Legibility Score is a single 0-100 number that covers both sides of modern search. Classic SEO: crawlability, page structure, Core Web Vitals. AEO: whether AI answer engines can actually parse your content, region by region, not just reach your domain.
Every Rankport audit runs automatically on a schedule you set, covers multiple pages, and delivers a report in plain English: your current score, what changed since last time, and the top fixes ranked by estimated point impact. No dashboards. No logins. Just the report, in your inbox.
The point of the score is not the number itself. The point is that it forces a concrete question: is this specific piece of content visible to the systems that matter? If not, here is exactly why, and here is what to do about it.
- Crawlability
- Can search engines and AI bots reach every page?
- Structure
- Is page hierarchy clear to both humans and machines?
- AI answers
- Can ChatGPT and Perplexity actually parse your content?
- Performance
- Core Web Vitals: does the page load before the AI gives up?

- Founders and in-house marketers
Rankport is a product of Solidary Solutions. We are a small studio with a clear opinion about what marketing tools should do: give you accurate information, in plain language, so you can make a decision and move on.
We built Rankport because we kept seeing the same problem: founders and in-house marketers knew their site rankings were slipping, suspected AI search was part of it, but had no single place to check both together. The tools that existed were either pure SEO (ignoring AEO entirely) or pure AI novelty (no connection to the classic ranking factors that still drive the majority of search traffic).
There are no invented team bios here, no staged photos, no claim that we are a movement. We are a team that finds this problem worth solving precisely and carefully, and that is what the product reflects.
If you have a question about the audit methodology, a finding that does not look right, or a use case we have not covered, reach us at hello@rankport.app. We read everything.
