Ranked AI at a glance

Want more people to find your website, but don't have time to manage SEO yourself? Ranked AI combines SEO software with a team that handles ongoing work such as content and website improvements. Monthly SEO plans start at $99 per website. You're paying for a managed service, not just an AI writing tool. Ranked AI overview

Who should consider it? Small businesses that need regular SEO help and can make time to explain their products and review the work. If your team already handles SEO and you only need reporting, compare standalone tools first.

The main trade-off: outsourcing the work doesn't remove your part in it. You'll still need to check product facts, approve content, and decide whether the work serves your customers.

SEO and GEO, without the jargon

SEO means search engine optimization: making your website easier for search engines to understand and useful for people who search. For a coffee shop, that could mean explaining its location, opening hours and products clearly, then publishing a genuinely helpful brewing guide.

GEO means generative engine optimization. People use the term for work intended to improve a brand's visibility in AI-generated answers. Think of someone asking an AI assistant which coffee equipment suits a small kitchen. Being mentioned in an AI answer doesn't necessarily lead to a website visit or a sale.

Google says its usual SEO practices remain relevant to AI Overviews and AI Mode; it does not require special AI files or special schema to appear. Start with pages that search engines can access and people can understand; a new acronym doesn't replace those basics. Google Search Central guidance

What would you actually be paying for?

Ranked describes work including content, website optimization and link acquisition, with SEO professionals reviewing and implementing work. It also offers AI visibility tracking. Those features describe the work on offer. They don't guarantee better rankings or a mention in an AI answer. Managed SEO service

Ask to see an example of the work you'd receive. “We'll optimize your site” tells you less than a specific page, a proposed edit, and an explanation of how it could help visitors.

A simple plan for your first SEO project
  1. Brief: choose the audience and the service you want people to find.
  2. Plan: agree which existing pages and new topics deserve attention.
  3. Review: check product facts and approve proposed changes.
  4. Measure: track visits and inquiries from the customers you want to reach.

For example, a handmade furniture seller might start with one collection and its delivery questions. That gives the team a clear place to start. “Help shoppers understand this collection and where we deliver” is a more useful brief than “get us more traffic.”

How much does Ranked AI cost?

The official monthly SEO prices are in US dollars, per website. Current pricing

Monthly SEO pricing per website, in USD
PlanMonthly priceListed weekly blog output
Standard$991 article
Plus$1982 articles
Enterprise$3494 articles

These prices cover SEO, not ad spending. Confirm what's included for your website and which billing period you've selected. More articles aren't automatically better: one clear answer to a customer's buying question can be more useful than four generic posts.

Budget for your time as well as the subscription. You'll need to answer questions, correct outdated details, and review reports. Our Ranked AI pricing guide explains the plans and billing questions in more detail.

Selling in more than one language?

Ranked lists Japanese among supported languages, while its documentation marks non-English support as beta. Check the quality of the language you need and ask which languages the support team uses. Language documentation

If you sell in multiple markets, ask for a sample in each language. Does it sound natural? Does it use the right product names and answer questions customers in that market actually ask? Translating the words is only part of the job.

What to prepare before you start

  1. Choose one goal, such as more quote requests from suitable customers.
  2. Record today's relevant pages, visits and inquiries as a starting point.
  3. Agree who approves content and who can publish changes.
  4. Ask what work was completed and what should happen next.
  5. Review the quality of the work now, and track search results over a longer period.

Read reports with your actual customers in mind. More visits from a global audience may do little for a business that only serves one town. SEO also takes time to assess: agree on a review period instead of judging the service after one quiet week.

Seeing more impressions but few visits? Our Ranked AI reporting guide separates search visibility, clicks and inquiries, with examples of what to improve next. For mentions in AI answers, use the separate guide to tracking GEO visibility.

Frequently asked questions

Will Ranked AI guarantee a Google ranking or an AI recommendation?

Do not treat either outcome as guaranteed. Search systems and AI answers change. Buy a defined service and evaluate its work against your goals.

Does it answer customer questions on my website?

No—this guide covers search visibility rather than on-site customer support. Our Zipchat introduction covers ecommerce conversations. ConversionIQ addresses engagement across channels. Choose based on whether you need help attracting visitors or answering the people already contacting you.

What should I do next?

Choose one page you'd like to improve and ask Ranked what it would change. Our getting-started guide helps you put together a short brief.
