SEO automation

SEO automation that does the work every week

The jobs an SEO team does by hand, done in order and on repeat. Each week starts from what the last one learned: which articles ranked, which keywords moved, and what your competitors published.

  1. Step 1

    Keyword research

    Finds the keywords you can actually win: search volume, keyword difficulty and who ranks today.

  2. Step 2

    Competitor analysis

    Shows the keywords your competitors rank for and you do not, and the pages that rank for them.

  3. Step 3

    Content, written and published

    Turns each gap into an SEO article in your voice and publishes it to your blog on a schedule.

  4. Step 4

    Rank tracking

    Tracks your Google rankings for every target keyword, beside your Search Console clicks and impressions.

  5. Step 5Add-on

    AI visibility

    Checks whether ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI name you for the same searches.

Connecting Google Search Console is read-only. RankHound reads the searches and pages Google shows your site for, with their clicks and impressions, to choose article topics, avoid competing with your own pages and report each article's results. We never change your Search Console, and you can disconnect at any time. How we handle your Google data.

How it works

Connect Search Console. We propose the rest.

No tag to install and no call to book. Search Console is optional, and nothing runs until you confirm it.

  1. Step 1

    Connect Search Console

    Read-only, and optional: skip it if your site is not in Search Console yet.

  2. Step 2

    Pick your site

    From your Search Console sites, or type the domain. You can add more sites later.

  3. Step 3

    Check the details

    We read your site and propose who you compete with. Change anything before it starts.

  4. Step 4

    The first week starts

    Change anything and start. The first week of research begins within minutes, and with the AI visibility add-on, so do the first AI answers.

The AI visibility add-on watches the questions people ask assistants, most of which have no measurable search volume at all, which is exactly why they are worth measuring. Prompt tracking keeps them on a schedule, and how a run works explains the rest.

AI visibility add-on

Add AI visibility to see whether assistants name you

Add it to any plan and the agent also asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode the questions your buyers ask, on a schedule. The engines retrieve differently and often disagree, so each one gets its own rate, its own trend and its own sample size.

Six engines, reported separately.
Each answer is collected the way your buyers see it, with the method recorded beside it. A blended score would hide the engine you are losing.
Every rate shows its denominator.
Below five answers you see 3 of 4, not 75%. A percentage there would be a guess.
On a fixed schedule.
The same prompts every week, so a change means the answers changed, not the wording.

AI visibility add-on

Six AI assistants, each reported on its own

With the add-on, the agent asks all six the questions your buyers ask, collects each answer the way a buyer actually sees it and reports each engine on its own, so you know which one to work on. All six are in every tier of the add-on.

AI visibility add-on

Who AI names instead of you, and the sites it read first

Every competitor the engines name, how often and in what position, with the sentence that named them. Then the pages they read before answering: your own first, because you can fix those today, then the review sites and articles that name your rivals and never you.

Named instead of you.
How many answers named each rival, and how many of those left you out entirely.
Your own pages first.
Pages the engines already read while naming someone else. Nobody's permission needed.
Then the sites to get listed on.
Ranked by how often the engines read them, with the competitors each one names.
An alert when a rival pulls ahead.
An email when a competitor is named more often than you by more than the sample can explain. Never about noise.

Ask Claude what RankHound did for your site this week

Connect Claude, or any MCP client, and ask in plain English. It reads the same week as your dashboard: what the agent researched, which articles are waiting for you, how your rankings moved and, with the add-on, how often AI names you. It is read-only, so it can never approve an article, change your plan or spend your money.

Connect in one line.

What is RankHound?
RankHound is SEO automation software that does the weekly work of an SEO team, working from your own Google data: keyword research, competitor analysis, writing and publishing SEO content, and tracking your Google rankings beside your Search Console data. As a paid add-on, it also checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode name you.
What is SEO automation software?
Software that does SEO work on its own instead of only reporting on it. An SEO tool shows you the keywords and leaves the work to you. SEO automation software picks the keywords you can win, writes the content, publishes it once you approve, then tracks whether it ranked and adjusts the next week's work to match.
Is RankHound an autoblogging tool?
Yes, a careful one. It automates your blog: each week it picks the searches your site can win, writes the articles in your voice and publishes them to your site once you approve. Most autoblogging tools publish as much as they can. RankHound writes only when there is a search worth winning, never competes with your own pages and never trades links.
Does RankHound replace my SEO tools or agency?
For most small teams it covers the routine work: keyword research, competitor gaps, articles and rank tracking. What it does not do is build links for you or rewrite your site's code. If you have an agency, the agent gives them the research and the drafts, so their time goes on strategy.
Will it write articles that compete with my own pages?
No. Before it writes, the agent checks each topic against the pages you already have, and it only writes when there is a real opportunity that will not compete with one of them. That is why every plan says up to a number of articles rather than promising it. It also sets aside keywords that are not about your business, including your competitors' brand names, and shows you why it set each one aside.
How does the AI visibility add-on work?
You add it on top of any plan; it is not sold on its own. It runs the questions your buyers ask against six AI engines on a schedule and records which brands each answer names, in what order, and which pages it read. You see who is named instead of you, and the sites that name your rivals and never you.
How much does RankHound cost?
Plans run from $29 a month for up to 4 articles to $199 for up to 60, and the number of articles is the only difference. Every plan includes 100 keywords rank-checked weekly, 5 competitors analysed weekly and up to 5 sites. The AI visibility add-on starts at $9 a month on top of any plan. The trial is 7 days, and the agent writes up to 2 articles in it.
Can my AI agent use RankHound?
Yes. Every plan includes a hosted MCP server and a REST API. Connect Claude Code, the Claude desktop app or any other MCP client and ask in plain English what the agent did this week, which articles are waiting for you, how your rankings moved and, with the add-on, how often AI names you. Access is read-only, so an agent can read everything but can never approve an article, change your plan or spend money.
Which AI assistants does RankHound track?
With the AI visibility add-on: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, all six on every tier of it. We record how each answer was collected, because a scraped product surface and a model API answer are different measurements and should never be averaged into one score.
Do I need a card to start?
Not to join the waitlist: RankHound is opening soon, and we email you when your place is ready. The trial is then 7 days and needs a card, and nothing is charged during those 7 days. Cancel before the end and you pay nothing.
