Slaky

Slaky is a public database and leaderboard for startup AI visibility rankings. It helps founders and startup researchers compare companies using metrics such as AI visibility, domain rating, and backlinks, with scores verified through live Ahrefs data and Slaky's API rather than screenshots or manually submitted claims.

The platform is built around verification and comparability. Each startup profile can display its current metrics alongside a verification status, while daily re-checks keep the information updated. Founders can claim their profiles and appear on the public leaderboard, while visitors can browse recently added and featured startups to see how companies compare.

Key Features

Verified Startup Scores

Slaky verifies startup metrics through live data sources rather than relying on uploaded screenshots or manual claims.

Verified metrics include:

• AI visibility
• Domain rating
• Backlinks

A verified badge indicates that the displayed metrics have been checked against the available live data.

Daily Re-Checks

Startup scores are re-synced every 24 hours.

This keeps the database from becoming a static snapshot and provides a more current view of startup visibility and domain performance.

Startup Leaderboard

Slaky ranks startups in a public leaderboard so visitors can compare companies at a glance.

The leaderboard provides a straightforward way to evaluate startups based on their current visibility and SEO-related metrics.

Claimed Startup Profiles

Founders can claim their startup profile and verify their presence on the platform.

Claimed profiles can display a green verification check, giving founders a way to establish that the listed startup belongs to them.

Browseable Startup Database

The database provides multiple ways to discover startups.

Visitors can browse:

• Recently added startups
• Featured startups
• Ranked startups
• Individual startup profiles

This creates a public directory as well as a comparison tool.

AI Visibility Tracking

Slaky places AI visibility alongside traditional SEO metrics such as domain rating and backlinks.

This gives startup founders and observers a way to compare visibility across different dimensions rather than looking at a single metric in isolation.

Live Data Verification

The core workflow uses current data sources and Slaky's API to verify scores.

Instead of asking founders to provide evidence of their own performance, Slaky checks the underlying metrics and updates them continuously.

Built For Startup Founders & Researchers

Slaky is designed for people who want a public, comparable view of startup visibility and domain performance.

It is particularly useful for:

• Startup founders tracking their position against other companies
• AI startups interested in AI visibility
• Growth teams comparing domain and backlink performance
• Startup researchers scanning competitive metrics
• Observers and investors looking for a quick comparison of startups

Common Use Cases

• Startup benchmarking: Compare AI visibility, domain rating, and backlinks across startups.
• AI visibility tracking: See how startups rank based on AI visibility.
• SEO comparison: Evaluate domain rating and backlink metrics alongside AI visibility.
• Competitive research: Scan a public leaderboard to compare companies.
• Startup discovery: Browse recently added and featured companies.
• Profile claiming: Verify your startup and display its claimed status.
• Metric verification: Check scores backed by live data instead of submitted screenshots.
• Visibility competition: Use the leaderboard as a public benchmark for startup visibility.
• Ongoing monitoring: Rely on daily re-checks for more current metrics.

Why It Matters

Startup directories often depend on information submitted by founders, screenshots, or manually entered numbers that can become outdated quickly. That makes it difficult to know whether a displayed metric is current or independently verifiable.

Slaky makes verification the central part of its database. By checking AI visibility, domain rating, and backlinks against live data sources and re-syncing scores every 24 hours, it creates a more consistent basis for comparing startups.

The public leaderboard adds another layer to that model. Founders can claim their presence and compete for visibility, while researchers and other visitors can compare companies without having to determine where every number came from themselves.
