Your first 3 steps

On Home, type your website address and click “Add site”.

Ranky works for you
It publishes articles on your plan's schedule, finds customers every day and measures whether AI recommends you. You just review the results.
Inside each site
When you open one of your sites you'll see tabs at the top. Here they are, in order, and what each button does.
What Ranky does for you Main tab
A summary of everything Ranky has done and will do for your site: articles, leads and AI reports.
✨ Set up everything automatically
Ranky analyzes your site, writes your business DNA, researches keywords, schedules your articles and sets up your customer search. It's the most important button if you don't want to configure anything by hand. #
Go
Takes you straight to the tab where each pending task is. #
Your business and Settings “Your business” and “Settings” tabs
Your DNA is the source of truth: what you sell, to whom, where and what makes you different. The AI only writes with that data, so it doesn't make things up.
Save DNA
Saves your business description. The more specific it is (services, city, years of experience), the better the articles. #
How to choose your voice and DNA? See guide with examples
Opens examples of how to describe your business and how you talk to your customers. #
Save settings
Saves the article language, brand voice, phone, WhatsApp, address, expert author and the “Publish automatically” option. #
Your articles “Your articles” tab
This is where the articles that rank you on Google are born: first the ideas, then the draft and finally publishing on your site.
Research now
Ranky researches what your customers search for on Google and suggests article ideas with the reason for each one. #
Generate article
Writes the full article for that idea in your brand voice: title, summary, FAQs, links to your other articles and an image. #
Find questionsAdd to ideas

📣 Share kit

↻ Update
Refreshes a published article with up-to-date information. AI and Google prefer recent content. #
Check originality
Compares the article with others to confirm it's original. #
Review 20/20
The quality label: every new article goes through 20 checks before it's published (answers the search, doesn't invent data, talks about your real business…). If it fails, autopilot doesn't publish it and shows you what failed. “Natural” means it reads as written by a person and “Original” that it doesn't resemble other content. #
Optimization “Optimization” tabNew
Page-by-page decisions to rank higher on Google and get cited by AI. Each card has its “Analyze” button; where it applies, “Write article” sends the finding to the autopilot queue with priority.
Buyer searches
Reviews up to 500 real Google searches (Search Console) and separates people who want to buy from people who are just researching. Write first for the ones that bring customers. #
AI questions without a page
Takes the questions your customers ask ChatGPT and tells you which ones you answer well, which ones partially, and who the AI cites when you don't have a page. #
Titles, metas, H1, FAQ and schema
Reviews each page and tells you what to keep and what to change, with the new text ready to “Copy” and how confident it is. #
Internal link map
Suggests which pages to link to each other, with the anchor text and the reason. Only links that help the reader. #
Competitor pages worth beating
Scores the pages that beat you on Google (answer, depth, proof and freshness) and tells you what to take from each one to beat them. #
Probability that AI cites each page
A 0-100 score per page of how likely AI is to cite it, and the first thing to fix (for example, adding a comparison table). #
Does ChatGPT recommend you? Tab with the same name
Ranky asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude what your customers would ask and tells you whether they recommend you, who they recommend instead and which sites they cite.
