For FDIC-Insured Banks

Your bank is invisible on AI search.

How it works

AI search engines don't read your website the way Google does.

They extract structured signals. If those signals aren't there, your institution doesn't exist in the AI layer.

78%

of FDIC-Insured Banks have no schema markup

Schema tells AI systems exactly what your institution offers. Without it, AI engines must infer your products from unstructured text — and they rarely get it right.

64%

of FDIC-Insured Banks have significant Google Business Profile gaps

Your Google Business Profile is one of the primary data sources AI search engines draw from when answering questions about local financial services.

✓

Historical digital presence signals included in every analysis.

AI engines prioritize content that demonstrates expertise. A stale website with a single rate table signals low authority.

✔

Measured across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews

BankForge tests actual AI search engine responses — not just technical signals. Your score reflects real-world AI visibility.
