## Tracker - Start with the customer questions that matter

**Improved**

New full-platform accounts now move from a website to their first useful AI-visibility reports in one guided setup, without having to learn the entire application first.

**Ground the setup in the real brand** — Enter the website, review the brand and primary market Rankability found, then choose one product, service, or category the business should be recommended for. Nothing is tracked until you confirm the final step.

**Start with useful customer questions** — Rankability proposes ten buyer questions and selects five varied recommendations by default. Edit the wording, remove irrelevant questions, or add the other suggestions before tracking begins. Each selected question receives its own report and history.

**Use the platforms already included** — The last step selects the recommended AI platforms available on the subscription and explains that tracking starts immediately. The first usable results open as they become ready while slower answers continue saving in the background.

Follow the [Quickstart checklist](https://help.rankability.com/getting-started/quickstart-checklist) for the current five-step setup.

## Billing - Add the AI platforms you need without changing plan

**New**

Current Core and Team subscriptions can now add an individual AI tracking platform from Billing instead of moving the entire organization to another base plan.

**Choose only the missing platform** — Billing shows every supported AI platform, which ones are included, and which are available to add. Select the platform that matters to the client mix rather than paying for a broader plan solely to unlock one provider.

**See the subscription impact before confirming** — The confirmation shows the add-on price, proration, and new recurring total. Access begins only after any required payment succeeds, and a paid add-on can be removed later from the same platform list.

**Keep add-ons through plan changes** — Added platforms stay attached when you change plan or billing interval unless the new base plan already includes that platform. Platforms included with a base plan cannot be removed individually.

See [Understanding billing and usage](https://help.rankability.com/account-and-settings/understanding-billing-and-credits) for the current access and payment rules.

## Automate - Turn approved Research topics into an ordered content queue

**New**

Saved Research keywords can now feed a recurring content schedule, keeping topic qualification, article direction, generation order, and completed drafts connected in one client workflow.

**Queue the topics you already approved** — Select qualified rows in a saved Research list, choose Add to Automate, and send up to 100 topics to an existing content schedule for the same client. Adding them to the queue does not start generation.

**Control what runs next** — Reorder pending topics and save optional guidance for each article. Research topics run before the schedule's manual fallback list, so the most deliberate work stays first.

**Recover without duplicating work** — Open the created draft when it exists, remove a pending topic, or retry a failed item after correcting the underlying problem. The same saved keyword is not added twice to one schedule.

Follow [Using Automate](https://help.rankability.com/automate/using-automate) to create the schedule and manage its Research queue.

## Tracker v5.28 - See the searches behind an AI answer

**New**

Tracker can now show the search queries an AI provider exposed while building a captured answer, helping you understand the research path behind the response and find useful follow-up topics.

**See provider-returned searches** — Expand Fan-out queries on an AI-answer card to review the searches returned by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, or Meta. The section stays hidden when the provider did not return query evidence, so citations and page visits are not presented as searches.

**Turn useful queries into research** — Select any of the captured queries and add them to an existing keyword list or create a new list without retyping them. Duplicate queries are recognized instead of being added again.

**Keep the evidence with the answer** — Fan-out queries stay attached to the captured platform result, preserving the answer, scan, and provider context you need before turning one query into a broader recommendation.

See [Reading AI answers](https://help.rankability.com/track/ai-answers-tab), then open [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker) and expand an AI-answer card with available fan-out evidence.

## Client Brain v2.7 - Keep monitored knowledge trustworthy

**Improved**

Knowledge Base monitoring now has one reviewable workflow in Automate for choosing pages, checking changes, and approving updates, so monitoring can stay automatic without replacing content you already trust.

**Monitor the pages that matter** — Choose the saved pages you want to watch and run checks weekly or monthly. Use Check now when you need an immediate comparison, or add a new page to the knowledge base and begin monitoring it in the same guided step.

**Approve every knowledge change** — When a monitored page changes, Review changes shows the saved and live content side by side. Update the knowledge base only when the new version is correct, or dismiss the change and keep the approved source; detection alone never rewrites your knowledge.

**Handle moved pages separately** — When a saved page permanently moves, review the original and destination URLs before changing the source. Temporary and cross-site redirects do not silently replace the page Serena uses.

Follow [Serena sources and data connections](https://help.rankability.com/serena/advisor-knowledge-base-and-data-connections) to choose and monitor the client pages Serena should trust.

## MCP v1.15 - Do more Rankability work from your AI assistant

**New**

Rankability's Agent API and hosted MCP connection now cover substantially more of the platform, so an approved AI assistant can inspect saved work, start supported jobs, and follow results without losing the client context.

**Work across the platform** — The MCP server now registers 90 tools spanning clients, Knowledge, Researcher, Copywriter, Optimize, Tracker, Search Console, auditing, crawling, Search Intelligence, Prospector, backlink evidence, Routines, publishing, and Serena consultation.

**Read saved evidence before starting work** — Your assistant can inspect existing projects, results, usage history, audit artifacts, outreach lists, and publishing receipts before proposing another run. Missing measurements remain unavailable rather than becoming false zeros.

**Keep consequential actions controlled** — OAuth and scoped API keys limit access. Work that uses pooled capacity requires an impact estimate and your confirmation, while retry-safe operations use a stable request key to avoid duplicate jobs or changes.

Follow [Connecting Rankability to AI assistants with MCP](https://help.rankability.com/api/mcp-getting-started) to reconnect, verify the active organization, and load the current tool set.

## Rankability - Every full-platform tool included, with pooled usage

**Announcement**

Paid full-platform plans include every Rankability tool and unlimited users, while on-demand work is managed through pooled limits that recover automatically.

**Your existing terms are protected** — If you already had a paid full-platform subscription, you keep the price and client or workspace terms you were sold. Rankability does not automatically move a protected subscription to current plan packaging.

**Current plans match the pricing page** — As of August 28, Core is $199 per month with 75 daily tracked prompts and 3 brand workspaces; Team is $399 with 150 daily prompts and 10 workspaces; Agency is $799 with 250 daily prompts and 25 workspaces. Annual billing is $1,990, $3,990, and $7,990 respectively, and AI-platform access varies by plan. The short-lived $99-per-active-website offer from this release was retired.

**Scheduled work stays protected** — Routine tracking and monitoring are recorded separately from ordinary on-demand work, so active work does not consume the capacity reserved for recurring client reporting.

Check the current totals and platform access on the [pricing page](https://www.rankability.com/pricing/), then review your own subscription and usage in [Billing](https://app.rankability.com/billing).

## Copywriter - Catch unsupported claims before content is published

**Improved**

Copywriter now evaluates the saved final draft more carefully before publication, with stronger evidence requirements for comparisons and commercial claims.

**Review the content you will actually publish** — Quality and publish-readiness checks run against the final saved artifact instead of relying on an earlier draft or intermediate generation step.

**Require stronger support for commercial claims** — Claims about a product, service, price, guarantee, credential, or business capability need appropriate first-party evidence. Competitor research can inform the draft, but it is not treated as proof of what your business offers.

**Keep comparisons grounded** — Copywriter retains the evidence used for comparison content so important distinctions can be reviewed instead of disappearing after generation.

**Turn a blocker into a specific edit** — When a claim is unsupported, the review explains what needs attention and helps narrow the correction. Resolve, qualify, or remove the claim before using a live publishing destination.

These checks improve review quality; they do not replace a human editor or guarantee that every statement is correct. Use [Reviewing a draft in the editor](https://help.rankability.com/copywriter/running-an-editor-review) before publishing.

## Rankability - Connect Claude or Codex and work through your AI assistant

**New**

Rankability now provides a guided way to connect Claude or Codex and use the selected client's Rankability context and tools from your assistant.

**Start from organization settings** — Open Settings → API keys, choose Connect Claude or Codex, and follow the assistant-specific OAuth or scoped-key instructions.

**Verify the connection before starting work** — The setup checks that the Rankability endpoint is ready and gives you a read-only verification prompt. Confirm the active organization, shared-credit balance, and available tools before approving a consequential action.

**See whether the connection is actually ready** — Connection status distinguishes a configured assistant from one that still needs authentication or attention, reducing guesswork when no tools appear.

**Keep usage and job states clear** — The assistant can read the active credit state, estimate supported work before it starts, and distinguish saved drafts, queued jobs, stale integrations, and unavailable measurements instead of presenting them as completed work or zeros.

Follow [Connecting Rankability to AI assistants with MCP](https://help.rankability.com/api/mcp-getting-started) to connect and verify your assistant.

## Copywriter - Create, optimize, and resume work from one simpler Projects workspace

**Improved**

Copywriter now gives each common job a clear starting point and carries the same workflow through setup, processing, and review.

**Start with the outcome you need** — From Projects, choose Create content for one new asset, Optimize content for a published page, or Bulk create from the More menu for a reviewed keyword list. Existing projects stay in the same library, so you can check a run before starting duplicate paid work.

**Choose the level of help in plain language** — For a new asset, choose Complete the draft, Review the brief first, or Write it myself. Each option says what Serena will complete before you commit, and the focused Create flow keeps the primary action unavailable until you make the choice.

**Keep language and market decisions visible** — If a project's language or location differs from the workspace, topic, or selected market, Copywriter shows the mismatch before work begins while preserving your ability to use the intentional project-specific settings.

**Follow one consistent progress story** — Autopilot now uses the same five customer-facing stages from research through preparation for review. Refreshing or returning to a project resumes the current state, and recoverable finishing work continues without asking you to create another project.

See [Creating a content project](https://help.rankability.com/copywriter/creating-a-content-project) or [Optimizing existing content](https://help.rankability.com/copywriter/optimizing-existing-content) for the current workflows.

## Tracker - Ask Serena about a report and read richer ChatGPT results

**Improved**

Tracker now makes it easier to move from a result to an explanation and to understand structured results captured from ChatGPT.

**Take the exact report to Serena** — Choose Ask Serena from a non-portal Tracker report to open a dedicated conversation grounded in that client, project, keyword, and report. You can investigate a change or compare evidence without rebuilding the context by hand.

**Read map businesses as businesses** — ChatGPT map results can show the captured business name and available details such as image, rating, category, and open status. Use Copy names to move the returned names into comparison or follow-up research.

**Keep ads separate from map listings** — Sponsored creative is presented separately when the provider returns enough ad detail. A map business is not mislabeled as an advertiser simply because it has a name or logo, and unavailable structured fields remain unavailable instead of being converted into a false zero.

See [Understanding the Track overview](https://help.rankability.com/track/reporter-executive-summary) and [Reading AI answers](https://help.rankability.com/track/ai-answers-tab) for interpretation guidance.

## Copywriter v5.14 - Copywriter credits are now simpler—and up to 75% lower

**Announcement**

We've standardized Copywriter pricing around completed work. The cost no longer changes depending on whether you use Editorial mode or Autopilot.

**One simple price per outcome** — The new rates for full-platform customers are: completed new content asset, 750 credits; completed existing-content optimization, 400 credits; successful user-requested full-document rewrite, 250 credits. Research and brief work alone, automatic finishing, manual editing, publishing, and exporting cost 0 credits.

**Up to 75% lower** — Previously, a new content asset could cost 3,000 credits through Autopilot, 2,100 credits for a brief and draft, or a different amount based on the selected research sources. A completed new content asset now costs 750 credits. That means you can save 75% compared with the previous Autopilot rate and 64% compared with the previous brief-and-draft rate.

**More completed content on every plan** — This significantly increases how many content assets can be completed with the credits included in each plan: Starter, up to 13; Growth, up to 40; Scale, up to 100; Agency, up to 266.

**You pay for the completed outcome** — If work fails before producing the billable outcome, its reservation is released. Automatic retries and repairs do not create another Copywriter charge. An Autopilot run reaches its charge point once it has produced a usable draft, even if a later finishing step still needs attention.

See the current [credit costs reference](https://help.rankability.com/account-and-settings/credit-costs-reference), then open [Copywriter](https://app.rankability.com/copywriter) to put your credits to work.

## Serena - Turn approved site fixes into reviewable GitHub changes

**New**

Serena can now move supported technical website work from diagnosis to a bounded GitHub pull request instead of stopping at recommendations.

**You stay in control** — Connect the correct repository and choose how Serena may act: ask before creating a change, automatically prepare a pull request, or use the broader access your organization has explicitly allowed. Repository changes remain scoped and reviewable rather than writing directly to the default branch.

**Follow the work without starting over** — Serena preserves the objective through connection steps and refreshes, shows the current work state in chat, and records the result in Activity. When a pull request exists, you can open it directly and follow its checks and merge state.

**Verify supported fixes after deployment** — Once you deploy a change, Serena can recheck supported URL-specific Site Auditor findings and distinguish verified fixes from issues that remain open.

See [what Serena can do](https://help.rankability.com/serena/what-serena-can-do) and review the execution boundary before approving a repository change.

## Activity - See what needs attention, what is running, and what was completed

**New**

Activity is now a clearer client workspace for deciding what to do next and confirming what Rankability already delivered.

**Start with the real priorities** — The Priority view separates work waiting on you, work currently running, important alerts, and the strongest recommended next actions. The Activity badge counts items that actually need human review instead of every raw monitoring condition.

**Keep alerts useful** — Critical and warning conditions are grouped in the Alerts view, while substantive knowledge-source changes and broken sources can surface as client-level actions instead of remaining buried in source history.

**Keep a durable record** — Serena actions and other completed outputs appear in History with the available result link, status, and timing. This makes Activity useful for both the next decision and the record of work already performed.

Learn how to use each view in [Using Activity](https://help.rankability.com/activity/tasks-board).

## Copywriter - Move researched keywords into ready-to-run content batches

**Improved**

The handoff from Researcher to Copywriter now carries the selected keywords with it, so you can move from an approved keyword list to content setup without retyping the work.

**One keyword or a complete batch** — Choose Create content for one saved keyword or select several and choose Send to Copywriter. The single-asset topic or multiple-asset table opens already populated, with up to 100 selected keywords ready for review.

**Confirm the decisions that shape the output** — Copywriter now keeps workspace language and location defaults together, while research sources remain an explicit per-asset choice. It also requires an explicit page format for every valid asset before paid work begins. This reduces accidental wrong-language drafts and article-shaped output for commercial or service pages.

Review the keywords, remove duplicates, confirm each asset's format and estimate, then start the batch. See [Managing keyword lists](https://help.rankability.com/researcher/managing-keyword-lists) and [Creating a content project](https://help.rankability.com/copywriter/creating-a-content-project).

## Serena - Plan content without creating competing pages

**New**

Before creating a content cluster, Serena can now review the client's existing content portfolio and turn the proposal into a decision you can correct.

**Check what already exists** — Serena compares proposed topics with client-scoped Copywriter projects, the latest Site Auditor crawl, recent Search Console pages, and tracked keywords.

**Choose the right action per topic** — Each recommendation is labeled Create, Update existing, Consolidate, or Skip. You can edit the action and target before confirming the plan, and Serena revalidates existing-page targets before creating work.

**Avoid unnecessary new pages** — Approved updates create optimize-mode projects for the selected existing page, matching projects are reused, and Consolidate or Skip decisions do not create duplicate content projects. This gives content planning a practical cannibalization check without allowing Serena to change a live customer page directly.

Start with [what Serena can do](https://help.rankability.com/serena/what-serena-can-do), then review every proposed action before creating the cluster.
