Rankability Track can measure traditional rankings, Local Pack visibility, AI answers and citations, and video search results. Select only the surfaces that match the query and reporting goal; every additional platform, location, and grid point increases the amount of evidence collected and interpreted. Full-platform customers use pooled usage rather than a public per-check credit price. Tracker shows the active tracked-prompt impact for current subscriptions and the applicable estimate for protected legacy subscriptions. Billing is authoritative for which AI platforms are enabled through the base plan or paid add-ons. ## Traditional and local platforms | Platform | What it measures | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | Google Organic | Standard Google web rankings and ranking URL | | Local Pack | Map-pack rank at every configured grid point | | Bing | Bing organic rankings | | DuckDuckGo | DuckDuckGo organic rankings | | Brave | Brave organic rankings | Local Pack workload is based on grid points, not one flat location check. A 3×3 grid contains nine checks per keyword and location; a 5×5 grid contains 25. Larger grids materially increase scan scope and usage impact. ## AI answer platforms | Platform | What it measures | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Google AI Overview | AI Overviews embedded in eligible Google results | | Google AI Mode | Google AI Mode answers and available sources | | ChatGPT | Captured ChatGPT answer, mentions, citations, and available result details | | Perplexity | Perplexity answer, mentions, and cited sources | | Gemini | Gemini answer, mentions, and citations | | Claude | Claude answer, mentions, and citations | | Grok | Grok answer, mentions, and citations | | Copilot | Microsoft Copilot answer, mentions, and citations | | Brave AI | Brave AI answer, mentions, and citations | | DeepSeek | DeepSeek answer, mentions, and citations | | Meta AI | Meta AI answer, mentions, and citations | Core includes ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and Claude. Team also includes Google AI Overview and Perplexity. Agency includes every currently supported AI platform. Current Core and Team subscriptions can add another AI platform individually from **Billing**; protected legacy subscriptions retain the access described in Billing. Use Billing rather than an older changelog or marketing page as the authority for your subscription. AI answer checks can capture answer prose, brand mention state, citations, and available sentiment evidence. Exact output varies by platform and query. Some search-embedded surfaces do not return an AI answer for every query; a confirmed no-answer state is different from a failed scan. Where per-platform tracking modes are available, select **Both**, **Citations only**, or **Mentions only**. The selection affects the data shown and the categories included in [SPI](/track/understanding-spi.md). ## Video platforms | Platform | What it measures | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | YouTube Search | YouTube search ranking and owned-video evidence | | Google Video Pack | Appearances in Google's video carousel; collected with Google Organic | | TikTok Search | TikTok search ranking and supported caption or transcript mention evidence | Google Video Pack is collected with the Google Organic check. It cannot be selected or refreshed as a completely independent provider call. ## Location multipliers Local Pack multiplies by grid points and tracked locations. Location-eligible AI model checks can also run once for the primary location plus once for every additional AI location. The location-eligible AI platforms are ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Copilot, Brave AI, DeepSeek, and Meta AI. Google AI Overview and Google AI Mode instead use the location context of the search result and do not use that additional model-location fanout. ## Cadence and manual scans Rankability can schedule supported platforms at daily, weekly, or monthly cadence where those controls are available. The product recommends a cadence per platform and defaults expensive surfaces conservatively, but you can choose a different cadence for the project. A manual scan can target a subset such as Traditional, AI, or Video. It refreshes only the requested platforms. Running a Traditional scan does not update the AI answer date, and citation analysis does not rerun the AI platform check that produced the citations. Recurring tracking is limited by the organization's plan and project settings. Turning automatic tracking off stops future scheduled scans but does not delete existing history; manual scans remain available when permitted. ## Review scope before scanning Before you confirm a report, review the selected platforms and the active tracked-prompt total. For protected legacy subscriptions, use the estimate displayed in Tracker. The workload calculation considers the selected platforms for every keyword and applies: * Local Pack grid-point and location multipliers. * Additional location multipliers for eligible AI platforms. * Any selected deep-scan or city-variant work shown in the setup flow. Deep-scan variations have greater workload than the primary web-grounded check. Use the displayed scope or impact rather than inferring it only from the platform count. See the [usage limits reference](/account-and-settings/credit-costs-reference.md) and [control your usage](/account-and-settings/control-your-usage.md). ## Choose a practical platform set * Use Google Organic for the standard ranking baseline. * Add Local Pack only for queries where map visibility matters, and choose the smallest useful grid. * Add Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Brave when those audiences or AI-retrieval comparisons matter to the client. * Add the AI platforms that customers actually use or that matter to the reporting objective. * Add YouTube or TikTok when video discovery is part of the strategy. * Use Google Video Pack with Google Organic when video-carousel visibility matters. More platforms increase coverage, workload, and the number of states you must interpret. They do not automatically make the tracking decision better. ## Result availability * **Not tracked** means the platform was not selected. * **No scan** means there is no completed result yet. * **Not ranked** means the check completed but the target was outside the measured ranking range. * **No AI answer** means a supported surface completed but did not produce an answer for that query. * **Scan failed** means the provider check did not complete. Previous data may remain visible and labeled as stale or carried forward. Retrying a failed platform does not purchase access to that platform. A retry uses the same enabled-platform and usage contract as the original report, and a failed check remains distinct from a completed no-answer or not-ranked result. ## Next steps * [Set up keyword tracking](/track/setting-up-keyword-tracking.md) * [Read traditional and video results](/track/traditional-search-tab.md) * [Read AI answers](/track/ai-answers-tab.md) * [Read AI citations](/track/ai-citations-tab.md) * [Understand billing and usage](/account-and-settings/understanding-billing-and-credits.md)
