RankX AI

AI Search Visibility Platform

The RankX AI affiliate programme.

RankX AI pays affiliates 30% of every payment a referred customer makes for 12 months from their first payment, and every application is reviewed by hand.

Free to join. Every application is reviewed before it is approved.

Terms

What the affiliate programme pays, and how long it keeps paying.

Four numbers cover the whole arrangement: the commission rate, the window it is paid over, how long a click stays credited to you, and the balance that makes it payable.

30% commission

RankX AI pays 30% of every commissionable payment a customer you referred makes. The rate is the same whichever plan they buy and whether they pay monthly or annually.

A 12-month window

The window starts when the customer first pays, not when they click. In full: 30% of every payment received within 12 months of the customer's first payment; an annual payment counts once; renewals after 12 months are not commissionable.

30-day attribution

Someone who arrives on your referral link stays credited to you for 30 days, recorded by a referral cookie. What that cookie stores, and for how long, is set out in the cookie policy.

$100 minimum payout

Commission accrues in your affiliate dashboard, and a balance of $100 makes it eligible for a payout. The schedule and the method are confirmed with you on approval.

Joining

From application to approved affiliate, in four steps.

Signing up on the affiliate portal creates an application rather than an active account, and RankX AI reviews every one of them before a referral link starts earning.

Apply on the affiliate portal

Sign up at affiliate.rankxai.com. That account is the whole application: there is no separate form on this site and nothing to pay.

The team reviews it by hand

Every application is read by the people who build RankX AI before it is approved. Approval is not automatic, and a referral link earns nothing until it is granted.

Share your referral link

An approved affiliate gets a link of the form rankxai.com/?ref=YOURCODE. Anyone who arrives on it is credited to you for 30 days, whichever page of the site they land on.

Earn on what they pay

Commission is 30% of every payment that customer makes in their first 12 months, and a balance of $100 makes it eligible for a payout.

Audiences

Who the RankX AI affiliate programme suits.

The programme fits anyone whose readers already have the problem, and RankX AI keeps enough of the site ungated that there is something to send them to before a trial is mentioned.

Creators and publishers

Writers covering AI search can send readers to something that works without an account. The free tools run ungated, and the glossary and documentation are open to anyone.

Consultants and freelancers

Consultants can lead with the free AI visibility audit, which scores a site and names what to fix, then refer the client who wants that tracking run continuously rather than once.

Agencies

Agencies run every client brand from one account, each with its own prompts, competitors, audit and reports, and visibility is reported per brand rather than blended. An agency wanting terms of its own should use partnerships instead.

Communities and newsletters

Newsletters and communities can hand over the 30-day AI visibility plan, which is free, needs no account, and ends where a trial of RankX AI begins.

Tracking

How a referral is tracked, and what a refused cookie does not stop.

RankX AI records a referral with a browser cookie, so the visitor has to allow it, and RankX AI built a second path that carries your code for the visitors who do not.

What is recorded

A visitor who arrives on rankxai.com/?ref=YOURCODE has your code stored in a referral cookie for 30 days, and a trial started in that period is credited to you. The cookie is set on rankxai.com and read at signup, so the visitor can browse the site, leave, and come back before it counts.

If the visitor refuses cookies

The referral cookie is a marketing cookie, so RankX AI loads the tracking script only after a visitor allows the Marketing category on the consent banner. A visitor who refuses it sets no referral cookie, and nothing can recognise them on a later visit.

The fallback RankX AI built

RankX AI carries the code on the link instead. A link from this site to the RankX AI app picks up your code as it is clicked, so a trial started in the same visit still arrives carrying it. Nothing is written to the browser, which is why this path runs for everyone, consent or none.

Questions

Questions about the RankX AI affiliate programme.

Direct answers on the rate, the window, the approval step and what happens to a referral when the visitor refuses cookies.

How much does the RankX AI affiliate programme pay?

The RankX AI affiliate programme pays 30% commission on referred customers. In full: 30% of every payment received within 12 months of the customer's first payment; an annual payment counts once; renewals after 12 months are not commissionable. The rate is the same whichever plan the customer buys.

Is the RankX AI affiliate commission recurring?

Yes, for 12 months. A referred customer on monthly billing earns you 30% of each of their monthly payments inside that window, so a customer who stays a year earns commission on every month of it. A customer on annual billing makes one payment inside the window, and that payment commissions once. Payments after 12 months, including renewals, are not commissionable.

How long does a RankX AI referral stay credited to me?

30 days from the click. Someone who arrives on your referral link and starts a trial within 30 days is credited to you, and the 12-month commission window starts at their first payment rather than at the click. The attribution itself is a browser cookie, and the RankX AI cookie policy describes exactly what it stores.

Do I have to be approved to join the RankX AI affiliate programme?

Yes. Signing up on the affiliate portal creates an application, not an active account. Every application is reviewed by the people who build RankX AI before it is approved, so referral links start earning once approval is granted and not before. There is no fee to apply and no minimum audience stated.

When and how does RankX AI pay affiliate commission?

Commission accrues in your affiliate dashboard, and a balance of $100 makes it eligible for a payout. The payout schedule and the payment method are confirmed with you on approval rather than published here, because they are set per affiliate. This page will not invent a date it has not agreed.

Can I be a RankX AI affiliate and a partner at the same time?

Yes, and they are separate applications. The affiliate programme is a published commission arrangement anyone approved can join. A partnership is agreed per partner, covers agencies running client workspaces, consultants, publishers and integration builders, and has no rate card. Apply for whichever fits, or both.

What happens if a visitor refuses cookies on rankxai.com?

The referral cookie is a marketing cookie, so RankX AI loads the affiliate tracking script only after a visitor allows the Marketing category on the consent banner. A visitor who refuses it sets no referral cookie, and nothing can recognise them if they come back another day. RankX AI built a second path for exactly this case: a link from the site to the RankX AI app picks up your code as it is clicked, so a visitor who refuses the banner and starts a trial in the same visit still arrives carrying it. That path writes nothing to the browser, so it needs no consent and runs for everyone. The gap it leaves is the visitor who refuses and returns later, and this page states that rather than leaving it to be discovered from a commission that never arrived.

What the referral cookie stores is set out in the cookie policy.
