Rank is your place in the field of tracked brands — you plus your competitors — sorted by visibility. It’s expressed as “X of Y” (e.g. “2 of 5”) and is the fastest way to answer “am I winning or losing?”

​
How it’s calculated

3RD sorts every tracked entity (your brand + competitors) by visibility score for the current filter; your rank is your place in that ordering. It’s recalculated per time period, so you can track movement over time.
Rank is only as meaningful as your competitor set. If you track the wrong brands — or too few — “1 of 3” can be a comfortable illusion. See Identifying your competitors.

​
Position vs. Rank

The two get mixed up constantly, so here’s the distinction one more time:

​
How to read it

Rank is best read on the Leaderboard, where you can re-rank by topic, model, market, and audience. A brand can be #1 overall but #5 on Must-Win prompts in its top market — and that second number is the one to act on.

​
How to improve it

Rank moves when you move the metrics beneath it — visibility, position, and citation share. Use Diagnostics to find where you’re losing ground to a specific competitor, then create a Playbook to prioritize the work.
