Welcome to RankPropel
What this site is, what's free, what's paid, and why we're publishing this in 2026.
RankPropel is a tactical playbook for ranking in the AI search era — built for indie developers shipping SaaS, not for marketers running enterprise content factories.
What you'll find here
- A course. A series of modules teaching you to rank in Google AI Overviews and earn citations from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. One-time purchase, lifetime access. See the curriculum.
- Free articles. Tactical posts on AI search visibility, schema strategy, and indie-SaaS SEO. Browse the archive.
- Paywalled articles. Deeper case studies and tactics that live alongside the course content. Included if you've bought the course.
Why publish now
Search is shifting faster than at any point since 2003. Three numbers we built this on:
- 58% of searches now end in zero clicks (SparkToro 2026 data)
- 11% is the domain-citation overlap between ChatGPT and Perplexity for the same query
- 47% of Google AI Overview citations come from pages ranking below position #5
The implication is that "rank #1 for keyword X" is no longer the whole job. Citation engineering is the other half — and it's a half that indie sites can compete on without an agency.
Who we're not for
Agencies looking for white-label deliverables. Affiliate sites chasing AI-generated content farms. Anyone hoping there's a shortcut that survives the next algorithm update.
