For newsrooms and publishers
Your reporting, summarised and credited by a machine
Assistants summarise the news and assign credit as they go, sometimes to the outlet that syndicated your story rather than the one that broke it. hyperank stores those summaries in full and shows which wires and archives built them.
What changed
A reader who wants to know what happened increasingly asks rather than reads. The reply is a tidy paragraph assembled from wire copy, a handful of archives and whatever the model already held, with two or three outlets named as the source. For a publisher, being one of the outlets named in that paragraph is the modern equivalent of being above the fold.
Two things go wrong, and both go quiet. A story from eighteen months ago is served as though it happened this week, with your masthead on it and no date in sight. Or the reporting is yours and the credit is not, because the engine read a syndicated copy and cited the partner. Your correction, meanwhile, is nowhere in the answer at all.

The sources behind the answer
You cannot edit an answer, so you edit what it is built from
Where the answer comes from
What a news answer gets assembled from
- Wire service copy
- Publisher archives and syndication partners
- Aggregator and newsletter roundups
- Reference and encyclopaedia pages
- Forum and social threads
News answers lean hard on whichever copy is cheapest to reach, which is often a wire version or a syndicated reprint rather than your original. Every domain the answer cites is counted per engine, with the position it held, so you can see whether your masthead or a partner's is collecting the credit for work your newsroom paid for.
Monitor
Read every summary of you
Tracked questions run on a daily schedule and every answer is kept in full, with its timestamp and the sources it cited. For a newsroom that means you can see the moment a summary changes and read the old and new wording side by side, rather than being told a number moved.
- Full text of every answer, timestamped
- Sentiment scored per answer, themes clustered weekly
- Twenty six countries, each answer stored with its region
Correct
Find the story served as current
Claim checking returns a verdict of correct, incorrect, outdated, unverifiable or misattributed on statements made about you. Misattributed and outdated are the two that cost a publisher most: your name on somebody else's error, or a resolved story still being told as live news.
- Outdated coverage flagged with its source
- Misattribution caught as a separate verdict
- Root cause: your archive, a partner, or the model
Surface
Make the record easier to cite
Technical checks cover robots rules, schema, llms.txt, on-page structure and page speed, which between them decide whether an engine can fetch your archive at all. Indexing submission covers Google, Bing, Yandex and Naver, and index status is refreshed on a schedule so a new story is not sitting unseen.
- Crawler access and llms.txt checked directly
- New pages submitted for indexing every three hours
- Index status refreshed every four hours
Nothing publishes on its own
A person on your team approves every word
Editorial standards do not suspend themselves because a draft came out of a tool. Generated copy routes to a named editor and stays in review until they accept it, with the sources it was built from attached. Nothing carries a byline or reaches a live page on its own. If the standards desk wants to reject a draft outright, that is a supported outcome.

News and media questions, answered
An old story of ours keeps being served as if it happened this week. Can you catch that?
That is the outdated verdict, and it is the one publishers see most. The platform tests statements made about you against your approved facts, marks the ones no longer true, and where the trail is traceable it names whether the cause is a page in your own archive, a third party, or the model's own prior. You then know which of the three to go and fix.
Do you check whether we are credited, or only whether we are mentioned?
Both, up to a point. Brand mentions are detected in the answer text, and separately every citation is aggregated per domain per engine with the position it held. So you can see the case where your reporting is clearly described but the link points at a syndication partner. The misattributed verdict covers claims credited to the wrong place.
Will you publish articles to our CMS?
Only what an editor approves. The publishing integrations cover WordPress, WordPress.com, Ghost, Webflow, Shopify, Wix and a custom API, and every draft waits for a named approver before any of them fire. There is no unattended publishing mode. A newsroom is the last place that should have software posting under its own name.
How do you verify what you show us?
We keep the evidence rather than the conclusion. Each answer is stored as raw text with its timestamp and its cited sources, and every figure in a report opens into the response it came from. Where a claim has been checked, the verdict sits beside the statement that produced it. If a number looks wrong, ask us for the stored answer.
Our paywall blocks crawlers. Does that make this pointless?
No, but it changes what you are looking at. The readiness audit checks robots rules, llms.txt, schema and on-page structure, so you can see exactly what an engine is allowed to fetch and what it is not. Publishers often find engines summarising them from wire copy and reprints instead, and the citation report names those domains.
How often does this run?
Tracked prompts are reanalysed daily, with the frequency configurable per site, and brand analysis refreshes weekly. Sentiment themes are reclustered weekly as well. On the indexing side, new pages are submitted every three hours and index status is refreshed every four, which matters more for a publisher than for most other kinds of site.
