How RankedContent works

RankedContent runs an AI-powered analysis of any page you submit and scores it twice: once for classic SEO and once for GEO, which measures how ready the page is to be cited by AI answer engines. Every factor that needs work comes with a concrete, copy-paste-ready fix such as rewritten tags, JSON-LD schema, or suggested FAQ content.

A project represents one website you optimize. Every project includes a Site basics check that reviews the foundational signals AI answer engines rely on - AI crawler access, an llms.txt file, and an XML sitemap.

A typical analysis finishes in about two minutes. During busy periods your analysis may briefly wait in a queue; the page shows a live status while it waits and updates automatically when scoring starts.

The SEO score covers classic search ranking factors such as the title tag, meta description, headings, internal links, and page setup. The AEO/GEO score measures how citable your content is for AI answer engines: question-style headings, statistics, lists and tables, structured data, freshness, and author signals. The two scores are independent, and each factor is graded on its own.

The Keywords page tracks the searches you want to win. Each keyword is checked on Google every week, on desktop and mobile, recording your position in the top 50 results, the page that actually ranks, and the AI Overview for that search, including if your site is cited in it. Analyzing a page with a focus keyword adds that keyword automatically, keywords can be paused and resumed at any time, and Run now gives you a fresh check on demand. Your keyword slots and on-demand allowance are shown right on the page.

Keyword checks run as neutral, automated searches for the keyword’s locale, with no signed-in account or browsing history. What you see in your own browser is personalized - your location, language, device, and search history all shift the results - so a small difference is normal. The tracked position is the comparable, repeatable measurement; judge progress by its week-to-week trend rather than a one-off search of your own.

Each check asks the AI engine your keyword’s question through the engine’s own official interface with live web search enabled - the same models doing the same web research as the consumer apps. The recorded answer is representative of what the engine says about your topic, but the exact wording a person sees in an app can still differ, because apps add their own context such as chat history and location.

AI answers are not deterministic: the same question can cite different sources on different asks. That is why each keyword is checked once per period, and the statuses and rates on the Keywords page read your last several checks together instead of treating any single answer as the truth. A status like In rotation means recent answers cited you even though the latest one did not - normal variation, not a lost ranking.

Search engines and AI answer engines need time to re-crawl and re-evaluate a page, so ranking changes typically appear over weeks or months, not days. Publishing the fixes from your analysis is the part you control; the weekly keyword checks record the movement as it happens, and each keyword’s trend shows the progress over time. Run now gives you an up-to-date snapshot of a keyword’s current ranking - a fresh, optional data point, not evidence that your changes have already taken effect.

An optional Monday email that sums up each project’s week: keyword movement, work completed on the task board, and where you stand on keyword slots and on-demand checks. Weeks with nothing to report are skipped, and every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.

No. RankedContent only reads the page you submit and never modifies your site. You stay in control: the analysis hands you ready-to-use fixes, and you or your team decide what to publish.

A fresh analysis replaces the previous results for that page, and the tasks linked to the old analysis are removed, including completed ones. The same applies when you delete a page from your dashboard. If your task board holds work you want to keep, finish or note it before re-analyzing.

Each URL you submit uses one analysis from your allowance. New beta accounts receive an introductory analysis allowance. If you need more, get in touch through the contact page.

RankedContent is currently in private beta, but you can join the waitlist from the sign-up page. You will receive an email invitation when your access is ready.

Classic search engines such as Google and Bing, and AI answer engines including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. The same underlying improvements - clear structure, direct answers, and valid schema - help across all of them.

When you submit a URL, RankedContent fetches that public page, extracts its content for scoring, and stores the analysis results in your workspace. It does not crawl the rest of your site. See the Privacy Policy for how personal information is handled.
