Helping Louisiana businesses get cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — so the buyers who skip Google still find you.
Your buyers have changed how they search. A Baton Rouge petrochemical procurement director researching a vendor no longer types five Google queries and reads ten blog posts. She asks ChatGPT once and gets a short answer with two or three recommended companies. If you are not on that list, you do not get the meeting.
Louisiana’s economy is anchored by energy, petrochemicals, and shipping. The state is home to Entergy (New Orleans), CenturyLink / Lumen Technologies (Monroe), Stone Energy, McDermott International, ExxonMobil’s Baton Rouge refinery and chemicals complex, Shell’s Geismar plant, Marathon Petroleum Garyville Refinery, Sasol Chemicals (Lake Charles), Cheniere Energy (LNG Sabine Pass), plus the Port of New Orleans, Port of South Louisiana, and a deep maritime, fishing, and tourism ecosystem. The decision-makers at those companies, and at the thousands of mid-market firms supplying them, run high-stakes vendor evaluations. They are exactly the audience adopting AI search the fastest.
The same shift is happening in the petrochemical and LNG corridor along the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, in the offshore energy services base around Houma and Morgan City, in the New Orleans hospitality, music, and tourism economy, in the LSU and Tulane research ecosystems, and in the Shreveport and Bossier City defense, healthcare, and entertainment base. Wherever your buyer is in Louisiana, they are increasingly asking an AI model for the shortlist before they ever land on your site.
Rank System AI exists to make sure your business is on that shortlist. We optimize for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the two practices that decide which brands AI models cite, recommend, and hand to your prospects.

Louisiana’s economy is built on energy, petrochemicals, shipping, and hospitality. We tune our AEO and GEO process to the buying patterns of these eight sectors.
ExxonMobil Baton Rouge, Marathon Petroleum Garyville, Phillips 66 Alliance, Cheniere Energy (LNG Sabine Pass), Stone Energy, McDermott International, plus the deep offshore-services base in Houma and Morgan City. We build the citation footprint that gets oilfield-services, LNG, midstream, and energy-tech vendors recommended.
Shell Geismar, Dow Chemical Plaquemine, Sasol Chemicals (Lake Charles), Westlake Chemical, Methanex, plus the dense chemical-manufacturing corridor along the Mississippi River. We position chemical and materials firms so AI tools recommend them when industrial buyers research.
The Port of New Orleans, Port of South Louisiana (the largest by tonnage in the US), Port of Baton Rouge, Norfolk Southern and CN intermodal, plus the deep barge and inland-waterway base. We position carriers, 3PLs, port operators, and logistics-tech firms so AI tools recommend them when shippers and supply-chain leaders research.
Anchored by the New Orleans hospitality, music, and culinary ecosystem — Caesars New Orleans, Harrah’s, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, plus the dense restaurant and tourism base across the French Quarter and Garden District. We help hospitality brands and travel-tech vendors show up when travelers and meeting planners run real queries.
Ochsner Health (New Orleans), LCMC Health, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center (Baton Rouge), Willis-Knighton Health System (Shreveport), plus the LSU Health Sciences and Tulane research base. We build the citation footprint that gets hospitals, device makers, and healthtech vendors recommended.
Hancock Whitney (Gulfport, MS but deep LA ops), First Horizon, Capital One regional ops in New Orleans, plus a deep RIA and wealth-management bench across New Orleans and Baton Rouge. We position banks, RIAs, fintech firms, and insurance specialists so AI tools recommend them when prospects ask about advisors, lending, or planning.
Robins & Morton, RBR Construction, plus the deep luxury and commercial real estate ecosystem from New Orleans to Lake Charles. We work with builders, brokerages, hospitality operators, and proptech firms to get cited when buyers, investors, and developers ask AI models for the shortlist.
AI is changing how prospective clients research attorneys, especially for maritime, personal injury, business litigation, and family law. We position Louisiana firms — solo, mid-size, or large — to be the firm AI cites when a New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, or Lafayette client asks for help.
We map exactly where your brand currently shows up — and does not — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. You see your starting score, your top-three competitors’ scores, and the queries you are losing.
Most Louisiana businesses have weak or fragmented entity data. We fix it. Wikidata, Google Knowledge Panel, schema.org, industry directories, third-party knowledge graphs — all aligned, all consistent, all pointing back to you.
Traditional SEO content does not get cited by LLMs. We rebuild your highest-value pages and create new ones in the structure AI models actually pull from — clear answer blocks, defensible claims, structured comparisons, clean entity references.
AI models trust what other trusted sources say about you. We pursue mentions, reviews, and references across the publications and directories the AI models weight most heavily for your category and geography.
You get a monthly report showing your AI visibility score, your citation count, your competitors, and the prompts you now own versus the ones still up for grabs. We iterate every month.
We work with businesses across the state. Our most common engagements come from these metro areas:
We also serve businesses in New Iberia, Hammond, Mandeville, Covington, Ruston, Natchitoches, Geismar, Plaquemine, and the surrounding metros.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot each weight content differently. We track all six and tune for the ones your buyers actually use.
The thing that moves revenue is whether your brand gets cited when a prospect asks a real buying question. That is what we measure and what we report on.
Cleaning up Wikidata entries, fixing knowledge graphs, aligning schema across a site — it is unglamorous work, and it is the foundation of AI visibility. We do it.
This is what we do. Every system, every report, every playbook is built for AI search — not bolted on to an SEO service line.
Started with zero AI citations across the major models. After ninety days of entity setup, content rework, and citation building, the company was being recommended in ChatGPT and Perplexity for its top three product queries. The plant procurement teams who used to find them on page two of Google were now hearing the brand name first.
Selling into E&P operators that increasingly start with AI research. We rebuilt the knowledge graph and got the company cited in Gemini and Claude for its specific service profile. Inbound RFQs sourced from AI-led searches went up.
The competitor was already showing up in AI answers. We did the audit, found the structured-content gaps, and rebuilt the cornerstone pages. Within a quarter the firm was being cited for the high-intent queries the partners cared about.
Examples reflect typical engagement patterns. Specific results depend on industry, starting position, and category competitiveness.
SEO gets you ranked on Google’s blue links. AEO and GEO get you cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — where an increasing share of your buyers start. Most LA businesses already do SEO. Almost none are optimized for AI search yet, which is why the window is open.
Most clients start seeing citation movement in 60 to 90 days. Full visibility for high-intent queries usually takes 4 to 6 months. Energy, petrochemicals, and healthcare take longer because the AI models are more conservative in those verticals.
Yes. Our process is the same whether you are in Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Bossier City, Monroe, or a smaller community. AI models do not care about geography the way Google’s local pack does — they care about authority signals, which we can build for any Louisiana business.
We have packages built for small Louisiana businesses, mid-market firms, and enterprises with multiple product lines. The audit is free.
No. We work alongside your existing SEO team, content agency, or in-house marketers. AEO and GEO are additive layers on top of solid SEO foundations.
Monthly reports showing your citation count by AI platform, your visibility score versus your top three competitors, the prompts you now win, the prompts still up for grabs, and the revenue-relevant queries we have moved you on. No vanity metrics.
Highly regulated categories require specific entity work — HSE certifications, USCG / maritime credentials, EPA references. We build that into the content and schema layer so AI models treat your firm as a credible reference.
It is mostly technical content and entity work, and we do the heavy lifting. Your team reviews and approves. The lift on your side is usually one or two hours of subject-matter input per month after the initial audit.
We benchmark your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot, compare you to your top three Louisiana competitors, and hand you a written report with the queries you are losing and the ones you can win first.
No sales pitch. No pressure to buy. Even if we never work together, the report is yours to keep.
