Editorial and AI policy
How we use AI, and the rules behind every draft.
You should know which words on your site came from AI and how they reached your pages. This page sets that out for the posts RankHouse drafts for you and for the articles on our own blog.
RankHouse writes with AI and works for your business every day. New connections start on Manual Publish. With Agent Auto Publish on, the agent publishes everything by itself: new posts go live on your site, and new titles and descriptions go live on their pages. The rules below carry a date, and when one changes, the change goes in the log at the end of this page.
Last updated October 15, 2026. Every rule and provider on this page checked against the product on October 15, 2026.
This policy is kept by the RankHouse team at Marketlytics Consultancy LLC. Read who we are, or talk to a person.
Which AI we use, and for what
AI models do most of the reading and writing. Code measures each draft, and your publishing setting decides what reaches your site.
| Job | The AI that does it | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Your business profile | An OpenAI model drafts it from your homepage, with Google's Gemini as a backup. | Correct the profile any time. |
| Your keyword list | The agent builds each month's list itself. AI models suggest your starting keywords from your profile, shorten long searches into keywords, check which ideas fit your business, and write the question each post answers. The fit check picks only from searches with a measured monthly volume in Google Keyword Planner. | Edit the list or change its order any time. |
| Today's top results | An OpenAI model condenses each of the top five Google results for the search into a short summary for the brief. | Nothing to do. This happens before the draft is written. |
| Posts, titles and descriptions | OpenAI models write the draft, polish the wording, and rewrite it when a check fails. An AI model also picks the post's category from the ones already on your site. | Read, edit and publish. With Agent Auto Publish on, new posts and new titles and descriptions go live by themselves. |
| Hero images | Google's Gemini makes the post's image, with an OpenAI model as a backup. We add no AI label or caption to it. | You can regenerate it in the editor, change it in your CMS, or add a caption that says it was made with AI. |
| The AI visibility check | An AI model writes the questions your customers ask. Every day, they go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini through each company's API with web search on, and Google's AI Overviews are read from Google's results page. Another AI model then reads every answer to find which brands it names and which sources it cites. | You read each answer in full. Nothing on your site changes. |
Models change as providers release new ones, and we can pick a different model for each step. The providers we use today are OpenAI (some requests go through Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service), Anthropic, Google, Perplexity and Alibaba Cloud. Our privacy policy lists each one.
Where no AI is involved
- The audit's 24 checks are run by code, and each fix guide is fixed text, the same for every site.
- Monthly search volumes come from Google Keyword Planner, and the positions in your planner come from Search Console.
- Whether a change goes live depends on the publishing mode you choose. New connections start on Manual Publish.
Writing rules, dated
Most of what follows is set in code, so it applies to every draft whatever the model does. As of October 15, 2026:
Rules set in code
- Links. A post links only to your own pages, up to five that the agent found on your site in its last crawl. Any other link becomes plain text.
- The search. The post's search must appear in the main heading, in the first 100 words and in the meta description.
- Length and shape. 500 to 800 words, one to six headings and at least three paragraphs.
- Rewrites. A draft that misses any of these goes back with plain instructions, up to six times. Six is the limit, so check the counts in the editor before you publish.
- Stock phrases. A fixed list, such as "high quality" and "in summary", is replaced in every draft.
- Publishing. With Agent Auto Publish on, new posts and new titles and descriptions go live by themselves. In the other two modes, a person publishes each post.
- Pace. The agent writes at most five changes of one kind a day, and a page it changed rests for 90 days before it is touched again.
Instructions given to the model
These instructions sit in the model's prompt. Models usually follow them, but no code checks each one, so a draft can still break one. Tell us when it does.
- No summary and no "in conclusion" ending.
- No FAQ section and no bullet lists.
- No dashes.
- No sales talk about prices, offers or shipping.
- Answer the questions people also ask about the search inside the post, not in a separate block.
- Your business gets a light mention, never in the opening.
- Use only the facts it was given, and make no claim it can't support.
- New titles start with the page's keyword and run 50 to 65 characters. New descriptions run 120 to 159 characters.
Bylines
Articles on our own blog are published under the RankHouse name. We don't invent authors, and we never give AI a human name or face.
On your site, the agent never invents a person either. Posts the agent plans carry your brand name as the author. The WordPress plugin maps that name to your default author, and on other platforms the brand name is sent as the author. Posts you add yourself can carry an author you pick.
Google's guidance on AI content says an AI author byline is probably not the best way to tell readers that AI was involved, so the agent never uses one.
An AI note you can use
If you want readers to know how a post was made, you can add one line to it:
Drafted with AI, then reviewed by our team.
Google's guidance says telling readers how a piece was made can give them useful context. Use the line only when it's true.
Whether to add it is your call. Where readers might wonder how a post was made, a short note helps them trust what they read.
Corrections
On this site and our blog
If something on rankhouse.ai is wrong, email support@rankhouse.ai or use our contact page. A person replies within 6 hours.
We fix errors once we confirm them. When a fix changes what a page means, we add a dated line at the end of that page saying what changed. We don't change an article's date for a small edit such as a typo.
In the agent's work
If a draft is wrong, change it in the editor, or regenerate a section or the image. With Manual Publish, a draft stays in RankHouse until you press Publish, so a draft you don't want never reaches your site.
If a published post needs a fix, edit it in RankHouse and publish the update. The post on your site is changed in place.
To keep a record of your old titles and descriptions, export your audit before you switch on Agent Auto Publish. It lists every page's current title and description, so you can put any of them back by hand.
If you catch the agent breaking one of its house rules, email support@rankhouse.ai and we will fix it.
Our own blog, held to the bar we sell
Our blog is where we write about search for the people who run websites. The RankHouse agent writes and publishes it, the same way it works for you:
- Published under the RankHouse name, never a made-up author.
- True dates. The published date is when the article first went out, and the updated date moves only when the content changes in a way that matters.
- The same seven layers as every RankHouse post.
- The agent publishes each article by itself. A person on our team can check any article and correct it, and corrections follow the rules on this page.
The pages of this site were drafted with help from AI and edited by the RankHouse team.
What people ask about our AI use
01Is my data used to train AI models?
We don't train AI models of our own on your data. We reach each AI provider through its business API, and those terms don't allow the provider to train on our requests. The privacy policy lists each provider.
02Can AI-written posts get my site dropped from Google?
Google's guidance says that using generative AI tools "to generate many pages without adding value for users may violate Google's spam policy on scaled content abuse." RankHouse writes at a steady pace for real searches, and unless Agent Auto Publish is on, no post goes live until you publish it. Before you publish, add what only you know: a real example, a price, a photo.
03Who is responsible for a post once it's live?
You are, as the site's publisher, so you choose how posts go live: RankHouse puts a post live by itself only once you turn on Agent Auto Publish. RankHouse's terms also ask you to review what the AI writes before you publish it, because it can be wrong or incomplete.
