Automated ranking
infrastructure that runs
while you sleep.
One subscription that runs SEO, GEO, AEO, and LSO simultaneously — covering Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and local maps automatically every week. Built for local and regional businesses that need to be found, not for agencies that bill by the meeting.
Twelve months of compounding coverage.
ARC Rankings AI is not a tool you log into — it is infrastructure that runs in the background. Every month, every signal that matters for being found gets attended to automatically.
per month
SEO + GEO + AEO articles published to a dedicated blog subdomain (localblog.yourdomain.com). One CNAME DNS record connects it. Works with any platform — or none.
structured
Question-shaped articles formatted to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. Schema, FAQ markup, and entity signals on every piece.
placements
Google, Yelp, BBB, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Yellow Pages, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and more — built with perfect NAP consistency from your nap-sheet.
Profile, tracked
GBP completeness audit at onboarding (categories, hours, services, photos). Daily local 3-pack rank tracking with 30-day delta history. We monitor where you rank — you keep control of the listing itself.
tracked weekly
Position changes, SERP feature wins, AI-citation pickups, and competitor movement — all consolidated into your ARC Score dashboard.
summary
Every Monday: what published, what ranked, what moved, and what's next. Five-minute read. No "we will need another quarter to see results" calls.
SEO, GEO, AEO, and LSO are four separate jobs.
Most agencies do one — Google SEO — and call it a strategy. AI search now drives a meaningful percentage of high-intent local queries, and the optimization stack for each engine is different. ARC Rankings AI runs all four in parallel:
- SEO — traditional Google ranking: keyword targeting, on-page structure, internal linking, technical hygiene, backlink-friendly format.
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — getting cited inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Requires question-shaped content, entity clarity, and explicit citation hooks.
- AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — winning featured snippets and "People Also Ask" boxes. Requires direct answers up top, structured data, and a specific phrasing pattern that engines parse cleanly.
- LSO (Local Search Optimization) — local 3-pack rankings, GBP optimization, citation network consistency, and review velocity. The dominant factor for "near me" queries.
A traditional agency would charge for each as a separate retainer. ARC Rankings AI runs them as one system because the underlying signals overlap — and because we built it to.
Same job. 1/8th the bill.

Common questions.
Most clients have their first article live within 24 hours of completing onboarding. AI-engine citations typically begin appearing within 2–4 weeks. Google ranking improvements compound across 60–90 days. The longer it runs, the stronger the authority effect.
No. ARC Rankings AI publishes to a dedicated blog subdomain (localblog.yourdomain.com) connected via one CNAME DNS record. It works with any platform — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, custom — or with no website at all.
No. Cancel any time from your dashboard. No setup fee, no early-termination fee, no minimum commitment. Most clients stay because the rankings compound — but you are never locked in.
Yes. Each additional location is $397/month and runs its own infrastructure: dedicated keyword tracking, location-specific articles, and citation directory placements with that location's NAP.
HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, dental, legal, real estate, med spa, restaurant, fitness, lawn care, tree service, automotive, healthcare, finance, and 23+ other verticals. The content engine adapts vocabulary, FAQ patterns, and entity signals to your industry.
You can run both. Most clients eventually drop the agency once ARC Rankings AI's results compound — but they do not have to. ARC Rankings AI publishes to its own subdomain and tracks its own keyword set, so it does not conflict with another agency's work.
