Getting started
01What is RankHouse?
RankHouse is an AI SEO agent that works on your website every day. Give it your domain and it audits your site, fixes weak page titles and descriptions, writes new blog posts built to rank in Google, and checks whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity mention your business.
02Who is it for?
Owners and small marketing teams of online stores, SaaS products and service businesses. It's built for a live site that isn't found often enough, and for owners who have paid for SEO before without ever knowing whether it worked. RankHouse lists every change by date, and you judge the results in Search Console and GA4.
03Who runs RankHouse?
RankHouse is run by Marketlytics Consultancy LLC. About RankHouse tells you more about us.
04Who is it not a good fit for?
It isn't a fit if you want hundreds of pages a day. Google's spam policies count mass-produced pages that add little for readers as scaled content abuse, so RankHouse keeps a steady pace instead. Each account covers one website, so an agency with many client sites needs an account for each. Sites on hosted builders such as Wix or Squarespace can connect only if a developer can add our publishing API, and many builders don't allow that. If you want a guaranteed ranking or a guaranteed mention by an AI assistant, no honest service can promise either.
05What do I need to begin?
A live website and a way for RankHouse to publish to it. That can be the WordPress plugin, the Shopify app (in Shopify's review), the Webflow connection, the Notion connection or our publishing API, which a developer sets up once. Link Search Console if you can, so the agent can plan from searches that already show your site. GA4 is optional. Both connect read-only.
06Do I need to know SEO to use it?
No. Enter your domain and connect your website once. The agent plans, writes, fixes and reports on its own, and every report is in plain English.
07What happens in the first week?
You enter your domain. RankHouse reads your homepage in about a minute and drafts a short profile of your business for you to correct. It crawls up to 20,000 pages and runs 24 checks, sorted into critical errors, warnings and recommendations, though big sites can take a few hours. Once Search Console is linked, it builds a list of at least 30 searches, which you can edit and reorder any time. Then you connect WordPress, Shopify or your own site, publishing starts on Manual Publish, and the agent's daily work begins.
08How much of my time does it take?
The first week takes the most: correcting your profile and connecting your site. After that, the agent works every day on its own. Your part is reading new posts and publishing the ones you like. With Agent Auto Publish on, the agent publishes them for you. A post runs 500 to 800 words, so reading one takes a few minutes, plus any edits you choose to make.
09Do I need Search Console?
No, but the agent does more with it. Without it, the keyword list comes from your own keywords and Google Keyword Planner. With it linked, searches where you already rank 11th to 20th join the list right after your own keywords, and pages already on page one are left alone. You also get the click history your day-90 check compares.
10Can I add my own keywords?
Yes. Add up to 10 of your own. They go first in the list, which you can edit and reorder any time, and you can change any future day's keyword in the planner.
11Will it understand my niche?
It starts from your business. It reads your homepage and drafts a profile of what you sell and who buys it, which you correct, and it plans from your own keywords first. Unless Agent Auto Publish is on, every post waits as a draft, so you can fix anything it gets wrong about your customers before you publish.
What it changes on your site
01Will it change my live site?
Only in the mode you choose. New connections start on Manual Publish, so nothing goes live until you press Publish. On Manually Publish as Draft, each post lands on your site as a draft for you to check and 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. You can switch at any time. It never sets noindex, so it never hides a page from Google. For server-side issues, it gives you or your developer the exact fix.
02Which pages does it work on first?
Pages with a missing, duplicate or weak title or description, the critical errors the agent fixes itself. Among those, pages Google already ranks come first, closest to page one first. Once Search Console is linked, pages already on page one are left alone, and every page the agent changes rests for 90 days before it is touched again.
03What about the other problems the audit finds?
The audit sorts its 24 checks into critical errors, warnings and recommendations, and critical errors are fixed first. The agent rewrites missing, duplicate and weak titles and descriptions itself, live once Agent Auto Publish is on. For server-side problems such as SSL, the sitemap, speed or pages blocked from Google, it gives you or your developer the exact fix. See what the audit checks.
04How many changes does it make in a day?
The agent writes 1 post and 1 title and description rewrite a day, with rewrites only where the audit flags a page. Its cap is five changes of one kind a day. If you save up drafts and press Publish all, the whole backlog goes out together, so publish a few at a time if you prefer.
05What 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.
06Can I undo a change?
Yes, by hand. Before you turn on Agent Auto Publish, export your audit: it lists every page's current title and description, so you can put any of them back.
07Does it slow my site down?
It adds no scripts to your pages. The WordPress plugin loads its code only on its own settings screen, and the Shopify app has no access to your theme. On WordPress without an SEO plugin, the plugin prints the title and description tags itself.
08Does it work with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Notion and custom websites?
Yes. WordPress sites, including WooCommerce and Elementor, connect with our plugin. Shopify stores connect with our app. Webflow sites connect directly: open Account, then Integrations, then Webflow, and press Connect with Webflow or paste a site API token. RankHouse then publishes blog posts into the CMS collection you choose. For now it sends blog posts only, not page titles and descriptions, product pages or category pages. A blog kept in a Notion database connects the same way, with Connect with Notion, and each post becomes a page in it. Any custom website connects through our publishing API, which your developer sets up once.
09Does it work with Wix, Squarespace or Webflow?
Webflow, yes: RankHouse connects to Webflow directly and publishes blog posts to your CMS. Wix and Squarespace work through our publishing API, if your developer can add a few endpoints to your site. Once that's done, RankHouse publishes to it like any other site.
10Can I connect more than one platform?
Yes. New posts go to every active connection, and title and description updates go to one of them. See how publishing works.
Writing and AI
01Will AI-written content hurt my Google rankings?
Google ranks content on how helpful it is, not on whether AI helped write it. Every RankHouse post starts from your business, answers a real search your customers make, and links to your own pages, so it is useful to the people who read it.
02How do you keep posts from sounding like AI slop?
By giving the agent more to work from than a keyword. Seven layers go into every post. Before it writes, the agent works from a short profile of your business, one real search from your list, the question a buyer would ask about it, the top five Google results and the questions people also ask for that search, and up to five of your own pages for links. Writing rules tell it to leave out sales talk, stock phrases and AI-sounding wording. After it writes, an editor's pass strips a fixed list of stock phrases, and a check on keyword placement, length, headings and links sends the draft back for up to six rewrites. How RankHouse writes shows each layer.
03Does it copy the pages it reads?
It works from short summaries of the top results, not their full text, and writes a new draft from them. Read each draft before you publish it, and add what only you know.
04Can it write the way we talk?
It writes for your audience, around what you sell, from a profile you check. To make a post sound like you, change any line in the editor before you publish.
05Who writes the posts, and whose name goes on them?
The agent drafts them with AI. Posts from your monthly list carry your brand name as the author, which the WordPress plugin maps to your default author, and posts you add yourself can carry an author you pick. If you want a person's name on a post, choose someone who read and edited it.
06Should I tell readers a post was drafted with AI?
That's your call. Where readers might wonder how a post was made, a short line helps, such as "Drafted with AI, then reviewed by our team." Keep it true. Our editorial policy explains how we use AI.
07Where do the post images come from?
Each post gets a header image made with AI. Look at it along with the rest of the draft, and regenerate it in the editor if it doesn't fit.
08Why not just ask ChatGPT to write posts?
ChatGPT answers when you ask. RankHouse builds your keyword list each month and works for your business every day without being asked, so new posts appear in your planner without a prompt from you. With Search Console linked, it starts from searches that already show your site, and it lists everything it did by date.
AI assistants
01How do you help my business show up in ChatGPT and other AI assistants?
Every day the agent asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude the questions your customers ask, and shows you who they mention. It writes posts that answer those questions clearly, and points you to the sites AI assistants trust in your market, so you know where to get mentioned next.
02How does the AI visibility check work?
Every day, RankHouse puts your customers' questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini, and reads Google's AI Overviews for the same questions. It records which brands they name and which sites they cite. The questions go to each assistant through its API with web search on, and AI Overviews are read from Google's results page. Answers vary by person, by day and by model, and the API versions can answer differently from the apps. Read each check as one day's sample.
03How often are the answers checked?
Every day. The agent asks the assistants your customers' questions again each day, so you always know where your business stands in AI search.
04Will the check show whether my new post worked?
Search Console shows that. The daily AI visibility check shows where your business stands in AI answers as a whole. For the post itself, look in Search Console once it is live.
05Will AI Overviews take my clicks anyway?
On some searches, they can. That's why the day-90 check looks at impressions and average position as well as clicks. The AI visibility check also reads Google's AI Overviews on your topics and records which sites they cite, so you can see if your site is one of them.
06Do you build or buy links?
RankHouse doesn't build links for you. The posts it drafts link only to your own pages.
07Assistants send me almost no visitors today. Why check at all?
Then Google search is where your visits come from, and that is where most of the agent's work goes: posts and page titles for Google. The check adds one thing: which names come up on your topics when a buyer asks an assistant instead of searching.
Results and timing
01Can you guarantee rankings, or a set rise in traffic?
RankHouse gives you the plan to rank higher and does the work every day: new posts aimed at real searches, rewrites for weak titles and descriptions starting with the pages closest to page one, and an audit every month. Where you rank is Google's call, and Google says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, so we don't promise a set position or a set rise in traffic. Every day's work shows in your planner, done or failed, and you judge the results in Search Console at your day-90 check.
02How will I know it's working?
Look where Google keeps the count: your Search Console. Early on, watch impressions for the searches your published posts target and the average position of pages the agent reworked, because clicks usually follow. At day 90, compare your last 28 days with the four weeks before you started.
03How long until I see results?
Google usually shows your pages more often first, and clicks follow as they climb toward page one. Your first 90 days follow a clear plan: audit, fix critical errors, then build content. You can track every step in your own Google Search Console.
04What is the day-90 check?
Before you start, note your Search Console clicks for the previous four weeks. That is the number to beat. At day 90, open Performance in Search Console and compare your last 28 days with those four weeks. Look at clicks, impressions, average position and the searches that moved onto page one, then look at sessions from Organic Search in GA4. How we measure defines each number.
05My site is new and ranks for almost nothing. Is it still worth it?
It can be, with different expectations. Without page-two searches to start from, the plan comes from your own keywords and Google Keyword Planner, and the early months are about getting pages indexed and seen. Link Search Console anyway, so the plan can shift to your page-two searches as they appear.
06What if I don't publish the drafts?
Then those posts never reach your site, and Google has nothing to show for them. The day-90 check measures what went live. Your publishing list shows every unpublished draft.
07Will I see sales and sign-ups in RankHouse?
RankHouse reads visits from GA4. For orders, sign-ups and leads, look in your store or in GA4 itself, next to the organic visits.
Pricing, the offer and cancelling
01How much does it cost?
The plan costs $99 a month for one website. The first 50 companies rank at $1 a month for their first 3 months, then $99 a month until they cancel. You can cancel online at any time. Pricing shows what the plan covers.
02Why only $1 a month, and what happens in month 4?
It's an offer for our first 50 companies: Make me visible everywhere at $1 a month, plus any tax, for your first 3 months. That is long enough to reach your day-90 check. From month 4 you pay its regular price of $99 a month until you cancel. We email you 10 days before that first full payment with the amount and the date, and you can cancel online in your account, under Plan & billing. The offer terms cover who qualifies and the rest.
03Do I need a card to start the offer?
Yes. The offer is a monthly subscription that starts at checkout. You pay $1.00 plus any tax that day and on each of the next two monthly billing dates. The checkout page shows all three dates and the date of your first $99 payment before you pay.
04What does the plan include?
Make me visible everywhere, at $99 a month, is for businesses that want to be found in Google and in AI answers: a new blog post and a title and meta description fix every day, daily AI visibility checks across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, a 24-check SEO audit every month with a report, and publishing to WordPress, Shopify or a custom website. It covers one website. The pricing page lists everything it includes.
05What does a credit buy, and what happens when they run out?
Make me visible everywhere includes about 1,500 credits a month. Its usual work, a post and a title rewrite a day with a daily AI visibility check, uses under 900. A post uses 12 credits, a title and description rewrite 8, an AI visibility check 8, the monthly audit 30 and a rank check 15 per search. Credits reset on your billing date and don't roll over, and if they run out, new work pauses until they reset.
06Is there a minimum term?
No. The plan is billed monthly with no minimum term. You cancel online in your account, under Plan & billing, and the plan stays open to you through the last month you paid for.
07Does one account cover several websites?
Each account covers one website, and changing the domain replaces it. If you run several sites, give each one its own account.
08How do I stop or pause the agent?
Press pause in the planner. Today's work finishes, and from tomorrow the agent skips your site until you resume. Days missed while paused are not made up, and Stop clears everything planned from today on.
09What happens when I cancel?
You cancel online in your account, under Plan & billing, which stops future charges. Cancelling doesn't stop the agent on its own, and with Agent Auto Publish still on, new posts and new titles can keep going live. So first set each connection to Manual Publish and press Stop in the planner. How cancelling works has every step. Posts stay, because they live in your own CMS. On WordPress, read the next answer before you remove the plugin.
10Where does the work live if I leave?
Posts and SEO fields are saved in your WordPress or Shopify, or on your own site through the API. Drafts you haven't published stay in RankHouse, so publish or copy any you want to keep before you go. On WordPress without Yoast, Rank Math or SEOPress, the RankHouse plugin prints the title and description tags itself. Keep it active, or copy them into an SEO plugin before you remove it.
11Can I get a refund?
If we charge you by mistake, email support@rankhouse.ai and we refund it to your card within 10 days. Months you've already paid for aren't refunded, and you can cancel online at any time so you're never charged again. The full policy is on Cancellation and refunds.
Data and access
01What can RankHouse see and change?
RankHouse can read Search Console and GA4 but can't change anything in either. The WordPress plugin can create posts and update SEO titles and descriptions. It never changes prices, SKUs or stock, and never creates users, categories or products. The Shopify app asks to read and write your content and products, with no access to your theme, and RankHouse uses it to publish posts and update SEO titles and descriptions. A custom site gives RankHouse only the endpoints your developer adds. You can revoke the key at any time.
02Why do you ask for Search Console and GA4?
Both connect read-only, so the agent can pick topics from searches that already show your site. It also puts your traffic next to its work. Read-only Search Console access is what Google suggests you give anyone auditing your site. Connecting also shares your name and email address with us, to tie the connection to your account. If you sign in with Google, we take only your email address, which we use to create your account and sign you in. The privacy policy has the details.
03Is my data used to train AI models?
No. We don't train AI models of our own on your data, and we reach the AI providers through business APIs whose terms don't allow them to train on our requests. The privacy policy lists each provider.
04How do I remove RankHouse's access?
Revoke the key for your WordPress or custom-site connection, or uninstall the Shopify app. To end Google access, remove RankHouse from the list of third-party connections in your Google Account. On WordPress, see "Where does the work live if I leave?" before you remove the plugin.
