# Rankavex

> Technical SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization) audits for SaaS
> companies. Run by Igor Almeida, an SEO consultant who spent two years
> doing SEO and content for the SaaS product Venngage in English, Portuguese
> and Spanish, and six years leading online content at Grupo Bandeirantes,
> one of Brazil's largest broadcast and media groups. Before that, seven
> years building crawlers that extracted and republished regulatory content
> from government agency sites.

Rankavex audits a site against five checks and returns the raw findings:

1. AI crawler access — whether robots.txt blocks the crawlers assistants
   cite from (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot), as distinct
   from training crawlers such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot.
2. Structured data — whether schema.org markup describes what the company
   actually sells.
3. Content format — whether any page is written as direct question and
   answer, the shape AI assistants quote most often.
4. /llms.txt — whether the site tells AI crawlers what it is and which
   pages matter.
5. Core on-page SEO — meta description, H1, and whether a visitor who does
   not know the brand has anywhere to land.

The first audit is free and is diagnosis only. Repairs are available as a
fixed-scope, seven-day package covering all five items plus a verifiable
before-and-after report.

Available in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
