# RankBuddy

> AI-powered SEO content automation for SaaS teams. Research keywords, plan content, generate SEO-optimized articles, and publish to your website after review.

RankBuddy (https://rankbuddy.io) helps SaaS founders build an organic growth engine: discover low-competition keywords, organize topic clusters, generate AI drafts, optimize for SEO, and publish to your own site or CMS. Nothing goes live until an authorized user reviews and approves each article.

Important notes:
- RankBuddy is for SaaS teams who want qualified organic traffic from Google and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude).
- The All in One plan ($57/month after a 3-day free trial) includes one website project, 30 SEO-optimized articles per month, keyword research, a content planner, and scheduled publishing.
- Supported content languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch.
- AI output is always created as drafts. Auto-publish is off by default; users must review, edit, and explicitly publish or schedule.
- Customers own the content they create and publish using RankBuddy, subject to third-party rights in materials they provide.
- Billing is handled by Paddle (merchant of record). Product support: alex@rankbuddy.io.
