FAQ

Everything you need to know
about Ranking Labs.

The Product

What’s included in the per-article price?

Everything. Competitive analysis of 10 SERP results, keyword research (2,859 candidates), persona generation, authority statistics sourcing, niche-calibrated writing, 7-layer quality control, readability optimization, title A/B testing, 7–11 custom illustrations, FAQ schema, production report, and CMS delivery. Zero add-ons.

What makes this different from Jasper, ChatGPT, or other AI tools?

Those are writing tools — they generate text from prompts. This is a research and production engine. Before writing a word, we build predictive ranking models for your niche (R² = 0.50–0.64) by studying thousands of top-ranking pages. Then every article goes through 142 operations including competitive analysis, 7 quality layers, and custom illustration generation. The production report alone — 13 sections of research documentation — is something no AI writing tool produces.

How is this different from SurferSEO or Clearscope?

Those are content scoring tools — they tell you what to optimize, but you still need a writer. Ranking Labs is a full production system: we analyze, write, edit, format, and deliver. You get the finished article, not a checklist for someone else to follow.

How does Ranking Labs analyze ranking patterns?

We crawl thousands of top-ranking pages in your vertical and measure 158 raw content signals — word count, heading structure, semantic depth, link patterns, readability, image density. Those findings become the calibration targets for every article.

Does Ranking Labs guarantee rankings?

No tool can guarantee rankings — that’s Google’s call. But we produce statistically optimized articles.

Niche Intelligence

What niches do you support?

Any niche. You provide the keywords and we build the statistical analysis for your vertical. The system adapts to whatever ranking patterns exist in your market — no pre-built templates, no generic profiles.

What if my niche isn’t GDPR, iGaming, or AI-SEO?

Those are the niches we’ve published research for. The first step for any new client is running a niche study for YOUR vertical — same methodology, same 158 signals. Growth plans and above include this.

What does the Professional plan get for niche calibration?

A starter niche analysis: your vertical’s top 10 ranking signals identified, with articles calibrated accordingly. Growth and above include full niche studies (300 keywords, 3,000+ pages, 158 signals) for complete R² model calibration.

We serve 8 different client verticals. How does that work?

Each vertical gets its own niche profile and R² model. The engine switches per article — configure once per vertical, then tag each keyword with the right niche. No extra management overhead.

Using the Platform

Can I edit the articles?

Yes! Every article ships as production-ready HTML and Markdown with inline styling that works in any CMS. Connect WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or Ghost for automated delivery — or use S3 to build your own workflow. Edit freely; the structure and calibration are preserved.

Can agencies white-label the output?

Yes, by default. No Ranking Labs branding in articles, reports, metadata, or HTML. Your clients see your work.

How fast is onboarding?

2 minutes from signup to your first article. Submit a keyword and the engine starts immediately. Niche calibration is optional and takes 2–8 hours to produce.

Plans & Billing

Can I change plans?

Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Changes take effect at your next billing cycle.

Is there a contract?

Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

What if I don’t use all my articles?

Unused articles roll over to the next month. Use them whenever you’re ready.

What’s the uptime and support SLA?

99.5% platform availability across all plans. Enterprise: 4-hour support response SLA with dedicated account support.
