24/7 monitoring & new opportunitiesEvery morning the agent goes through your site and Search Console: broken or dropped pages, pages close to page one, searches your competitors rank for and you don't. When something is worth doing, it emails you the one fix to make first, and checks it again once it's done. You can also schedule your own checks, like a rank report every Monday.

Founders and marketers are hiring their SEO expert
What they say about the rankings, traffic and published content their SEO expert delivers.

We replaced a $3k/month SEO retainer with RankBuddy. Background tasks run overnight and we review drafts each morning. Simple, and honestly a little strange how well it works — no onboarding calls, no scope creep, just a queue of drafts waiting for me when I sit down.

Ran the site audit, fixed what it flagged, organic sessions up 63% in two months. No agency retainer needed. I was fully expecting to be disappointed by another "AI SEO" tool and instead ended up cancelling a contract I'd had for two years.

The chat-based workflow is so good. I just say what to audit and it comes back with a full plan. Feels like actually hiring someone — down to the part where it tells me what it's going to do before it does it, instead of just dumping a report and disappearing.
Grace Lin
Demand Gen Lead @ Bramble
What sold me was the sign-off step — nothing publishes without my review. Feels safe to hand off SEO work to, which is not something I expected to say about an AI tool six months ago. We've had zero surprises on the blog since we turned it on.
Adrian Kessler
Co-founder @ Fieldnote
Traffic from organic search doubled in one quarter. I was skeptical about an 'AI SEO employee' but the results speak for themselves — we went from treating SEO as a someday-project to it being the single biggest channel in our pipeline.
Isabel Cruz
Content Strategist @ Almanac Labs
RankBuddy caught technical issues our previous agency missed for months. Fixed, and rankings started moving within weeks. I've since made it part of every new client's onboarding checklist because I don't trust a site launch without it anymore.

It's like having a full-time SEO hire without the full-time cost. Background tasks plus chat updates is the right model — I check in once a day, approve or tweak a couple of drafts, and that's the whole job now.
Rachel Ambrose
VP Marketing @ Ledger Peak
We scheduled a month of articles in one sitting. The publishing calendar alone saved our team hours of coordination every single week, and that's before counting the time we used to spend just deciding what to write about next.

I'm not an SEO expert, so I needed something that could tell me what to do. RankBuddy found issues on our store, uncovered keyword opportunities, and turned everything into clear next steps. It feels more like having an SEO specialist on the team than using another SEO tool.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about RankBuddy and your AI SEO Expert.
What is RankBuddy?
RankBuddy is an AI SEO platform built around an AI SEO Expert that can research, audit, plan, monitor, and execute SEO tasks from one workspace. You can ask it to find keyword opportunities, analyze competitors, audit your website, check backlinks, plan content, create articles, monitor rankings, and check how often AI answers mention and cite you.
What is an AI SEO Expert?
An AI SEO Expert is an AI agent that does SEO work instead of only showing you reports. You give it a goal in chat, and it uses your website data, search data, competitors, and connected tools to research the problem, decide what to do, and return actionable results.
Does RankBuddy use real SEO data or AI-generated estimates?
RankBuddy combines AI with live SEO data. Keyword, SERP, competitor, and backlink research uses data providers such as DataForSEO and Ahrefs, while your own clicks, impressions, and search positions can come directly from Google Search Console. When something is an AI judgment rather than measured data, RankBuddy makes that distinction clear.
What SEO tasks can RankBuddy automate?
RankBuddy can automate recurring SEO work such as rank monitoring, competitor checks, content creation, internal linking analysis, and other scheduled SEO tasks. Workflows run in the background and post their results back into your workspace so you do not have to repeat the same checks manually.
Can RankBuddy check my visibility in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
Yes. Ask in the chat and RankBuddy checks how often ChatGPT answers and Google AI Overviews name your brand and cite your site, which of your pages AI Overviews cite, and how often AI answers in your market name your competitors. ChatGPT is covered for the United States in English, and AI Overviews for your market. Gemini, AI Mode and Perplexity are not covered yet.
How is RankBuddy different from tools like Ahrefs or Semrush?
Traditional SEO platforms give you data and reports that you analyze yourself. RankBuddy is designed around an AI SEO agent that can use SEO data to complete the next step for you: finding an opportunity, investigating competitors, creating a plan, and turning that plan into an SEO task or content draft.
Do I need SEO experience to use RankBuddy?
No. You can describe what you want in plain language, such as “audit my website,” “find keywords I can rank for,” or “show me why my competitor ranks above me.” RankBuddy handles the research and technical analysis while still showing you the data behind its recommendations.
Can RankBuddy replace an SEO specialist or agency?
RankBuddy can handle many repetitive research, monitoring, analysis, and content tasks that would normally require manual SEO work. Complex business decisions and strategy can still benefit from human expertise, and no SEO tool can guarantee rankings. RankBuddy is designed to reduce the amount of manual SEO work you need to do.
Does RankBuddy publish content automatically?
Nothing has to go live without your approval. Articles can stay as drafts until you review and edit them, while scheduled workflows report their results back to your workspace.
Can I try RankBuddy for free?
Yes. You can add your website and start using RankBuddy without a credit card. Paid plans start at $29 per month when you need more usage.
