Brand settings and configuration

Every section of Brand settings: brand facts, tags, aliases and categories, competitors, voice, Market and local business, places and client access, and how each one changes your results.

Brand settings holds everything Rank Prompt knows about a brand. Reports, articles, Brand Audit and the agent all read it, so a few minutes here make every number more accurate.

Opening Brand settings

  1. Check the brand switcher in the top bar: settings belong to the brand selected there

  2. Go to Brand > Brand settings in the sidebar

  3. Click Edit brand to change anything, then Save changes (or Cancel)

Owners and editors can edit. Viewers see the settings but cannot change them. Only the owner sees Delete.

The page has eleven sections:

Section

What it holds

Brand

Brand name, website, logo, brand description

Company

Industry, headquarters, founding year, size, tagline, value proposition, mission

Products and services

What the brand sells, each with its page on your site. Articles link the one or two closest to their keyword, once and never in the opening paragraph. Star an offering to feature it: when none is close to the keyword, articles link the featured one instead of the first in the list. The research fills the pages it finds on your own domain and keeps your stars

Key facts and people

Key facts and the people behind the brand

Tags

Your own labels to group and filter brands

Aliases and categories

Brand aliases and categories

Competitors

The businesses AI names next to you

Voice

How your articles are written

Market

The country and language of new reports, content and outreach, and whether the brand is a local business

Places

The brand's real stores, offices and branches, which reports can measure as markets

Client access

Client contact, client portal and client seats (Agency and up)


Brand facts

Brand, Company, Products and services and Key facts and people are the brand's facts. They are the only place they live: the Brand facts button on the Brand Audit page opens Key facts and people here.

Brand name

The name reports look for in every AI answer. Use the name customers and AI actually use: "HubSpot", "Salesforce", "Keller Williams". Put other spellings in Brand aliases, not in the name.

Website

Your own site. When AI cites a page on it, or on one of its subdomains (a blog, a help center), that page counts as yours in your Citation share. Use the main domain, like https://www.hubspot.com, not a single page.

If your site is a page on a shared platform (an Etsy shop, a Linktree page, a YouTube channel), only that page and what sits under it count as yours, never the whole platform.

Logo

The brand's logo, shown across the app, on share links and on client report covers. Without one, the brand shows your website's icon.

In Edit brand, click Change logo to pick an image from the brand's library, upload one, or paste its URL. Use the website icon removes your logo and goes back to the website's icon.

Brand description

What the brand does, for whom, and what sets it apart. It is used when prompts are written for new reports. It supports Markdown and takes up to 4,000 characters.

Run analysis

Don't want to fill it all in by hand? Run analysis reads your website and the web and fills in the description, company details, products and services, and key facts and people. Review what it found and edit anything that is off. The first analysis of each brand is free; running it again (Re-analyze) costs 1 credit.


Tags

Labels to group and filter brands across your portfolio, like "SEO", "Retainer" or "US". Tags are on every plan, and a brand can have up to 50. A tag is not a client: tags are internal only, never sent or shown to anyone outside your workspace.

Filtering the Brands page by tag works on every plan too. The list of every brand, with its tags and the tag filter, lives on the Brands page; Agency home links to it with All brands.


Aliases and categories

Brand aliases

An alias is another name AI may use for your brand, like KW for Keller Williams. Reports count an answer that uses an alias as naming you.

Brand

Aliases worth adding

Keller Williams

KW, Keller Williams Realty

International Business Machines

IBM

The Coca-Cola Company

Coca-Cola, Coke

Add: abbreviations, spellings with and without a hyphen or space, a former name after a rebrand, product names people use for the company.

Don't add: generic industry words, competitor names, keywords. An alias is a name, never a domain: other domains you own don't become your site by adding them here.

When you add or remove an alias, every past report is recounted in the background.

Suggested aliases

The Brand aliases card also lists suggested aliases: names the AI answers used that look like your brand, with how many answers used each one.

  • Accept adds it as an alias. Every report, past ones included, counts it as naming you, at no cost

  • Dismiss removes the suggestion, and it will not come back

Categories

Categories are the topics used when prompts are generated for your reports, like "CRM software" or "Sales automation". They are discovered when you run your first report and you can add or remove them here.

Keep them specific enough to write prompts from ("CRM for real estate teams", not "Technology") and remove the ones that don't fit.


Competitors

The Competitors section is the directory of every business the AI platforms named next to you across your reports, in one list you filter by category:

  • It opens on your Direct competitor and Indirect competitor categories: the rivals you benchmark against

  • Filter by category adds AI platform, Publisher and Other, each with how many businesses it holds

  • On a business that is not a competitor yet, use Select relation to track it as a direct or indirect competitor

Edit a competitor to give it your own Tags (up to 10), then use Filter by tag to see one group. When a business shows up under two spellings, a banner says how many groups look like one company: click Review duplicates to see the Possible duplicates (same domain, or the same name once case and company suffixes go) and Merge the ones that are one company, so their mentions count once. Open in Competitors takes a competitor to the Competitors page.

See Competitors analysis.


Voice

Voice is the one place for how your articles are written: Content language, Tone of voice (with presets like Professional, Friendly or Technical), Writing style, AI image style, Banned phrases and Add the links back automatically. Every article for this brand uses it. See Brand voice.


Market

Market is the brand's country and language: the ones new reports, content and outreach use. Every prompt in your reports is written in this language, for people searching in this country.

  • Primary country: pick from the list or search it

  • Primary language: when you change the country, the language switches to that country's usual one. You can pick any language: the country's own languages are listed first (United States: English, Spanish; Canada: English, French; Spain: Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician)

Change the Market when your target market changes. A report can still measure other countries and languages through its own markets. The language articles are written in is set in Voice.

Local business

Local business says whether customers come to the brand's place or it serves one area, like a dentist or a plumber: Yes, No, or Not analysed yet. The brand research fills it in, and you can change it when you edit the brand.

When it is Yes, a new report without a city shows a warning above the button: AI answers for a local business change from one city to the next, so a report without a city measures the whole country. The city is a recommendation, never required.


Places

Places lists the brand's real stores, offices and branches. A report can measure from any of them as a market, and the map shows where your reports measure.

  • Add a place: Name, Address, City, Region, Country, Postal code, Phone and Website. Place the AI platforms get sends a neighborhood or a ZIP code instead of the city, and Main place marks the brand's flagship. From your Business Profile at the top of the window picks one of the brand's linked Google locations and adds it with its name, address, phone and website from Google, linked to it: check it and save

  • A place that came from Google without its address shows Complete the address: add its city and country before a report measures it

  • Local sources on a place's row shows the directories AI reads for local businesses there and whether the place is listed on each. See Local sources

  • Import: From Business Profile adds every Google Business Profile location linked to the brand; From a CSV takes one place per row, with a header row (name, city and country are required). Places already there come back as they are

  • Archive removes a place from the list without deleting it: the markets that measure it keep their history. Show archived and Restore bring it back

The plan caps how many active places a brand has: 10 on Free and Starter, 50 on Pro, 250 on Agency, no cap on Agency Plus. Owners and editors manage places. Every place can also be scanned in Local rank, in Google Maps and in AI answers around it. See Geo grid: local rank tracking.

Below the list, the Visibility map shows every market your reports measure and, with Google connected, where your traffic comes from, with suggested markets to track. See Visibility map and suggestions and Understanding locations.


Client access (Agency and up)

Client access connects the brand to the client it belongs to. On Free, Starter and Pro the section shows what Agency adds instead.

Client contact

  • Client name, Client email and Client company: the single client this brand belongs to

  • Used for auto-sending reports, sharing articles and the client portal

  • To change it, click Edit brand, fill in the fields in the Client contact card, then Save changes. You can also fill it in under Client contact when you create the brand

A client contact is not a tag: tags only organize your brands and are never contacted.

Client portal (Agency and up)

A portal link opens this brand's reports and approvals with no sign-in. Enable portal, Copy portal link, Refresh link or Revoke portal. See Client portal.

Client seats (Agency Plus)

Clients who sign in on your domain and see only this brand. You need a verified domain with the app served on it first. Agency Plus includes 100 client seats, separate from team seats. See Client access.


Setup checklist

Before you rely on the numbers, check that:

  • Brand name is the name customers and AI use

  • Website is your main domain

  • Brand description says what you do and for whom

  • Brand aliases cover the other names AI uses (and you have reviewed the suggestions)

  • Categories match the topics you want prompts about

  • Market is the country and language you sell in

For agency brands, also:

  • Client contact is filled in for report delivery

  • The Client portal is on, or a client seat is invited, if the client needs access


Troubleshooting

My changes didn't save

Click Save changes at the top of the page before you leave. If you try to leave with unsaved changes, the app asks first.

Answers use a name reports don't count

Add that name as a Brand alias, or accept it from the suggested aliases. Past reports are recounted in the background.

The wrong categories appear

Categories are discovered from your reports. Remove the ones that don't fit and add your own.

Run analysis found little

The site may be new, unreachable or blocking automated visits. Fill in the description and details by hand with Edit brand.
