## Releases

## Auditor v1.3 - Brand Consistency Auditor

**New**

The Audit section now includes a Brand Consistency Auditor that checks how your brand appears across the web and identifies inconsistencies that could hurt your AI search visibility and trust.

**Auto-discovery** — Enter your website URL and the auditor automatically discovers your brand's name, address, phone number (NAP), messaging, and canonical links. No manual data entry needed — it pulls your source of truth directly from your site.

**Web-wide consistency scan** — The auditor scans directories, review sites, and third-party pages to find where your brand information is inconsistent or outdated. Each finding includes a severity rating, AI confusion risk score, and the specific inconsistency detected.

**Four-tab results** — Results are organized into four sections. **Executive summary** gives you an overall consistency score with key metrics at a glance. **Findings** shows every inconsistency found, categorized by severity with recommended fixes and replacement copy you can use directly. **Action plan** provides prioritized recommendations with effort estimates and suggested owners. **Brand pack** contains your verified source-of-truth brand data, ready to share with your team.

**Why it matters for AI search** — AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity rely on consistent brand signals across the web to build trust and generate accurate answers. Inconsistent NAP data, outdated descriptions, or conflicting information across directories can cause AI platforms to either misrepresent your business or skip it entirely.

**Shareable reports** — Generate a public link to share audit results with clients or team members, no login required.

You'll find the Brand Consistency Auditor under [Audit](https://app.rankability.com/audit) in the sidebar.

## Tracker v5.1 - Grid comparison and project settings

**New**

Tracker now lets you compare two grid scans side by side and edit project settings without leaving the dashboard — making it faster to measure local rank changes and keep your tracking configuration up to date.

**Grid comparison** — Select any two grid scans from your history and open them in a side-by-side view. Both maps render with ranked markers so you can visually spot where positions improved, declined, or appeared for the first time. Below the maps, a summary table shows the change in average rank, top 3 count, not-found count, and coverage percentage between the two dates — so you can quantify progress at a glance.

**Measure what changed** — Comparing grids across different time periods makes it easy to show clients the impact of your local SEO work. Did a GBP optimization push the business from position 12 to position 3 in certain grid cells? The comparison view makes that improvement immediately visible on the map, not buried in a spreadsheet.

**Project settings from the dashboard** — Click the settings icon on any keyword project to open its configuration without navigating away. Update the brand name, add or change brand aliases, adjust the target domain, or modify the tracking location — all from a quick dialog right on the dashboard.

**Brand aliases for better detection** — The project settings dialog now includes a brand aliases field where you can add comma-separated alternate names for your brand. Aliases are used across all AI answer analysis, so variations like abbreviations, partner names, or commonly misspelled versions of your brand are all recognized as mentions. This directly improves the accuracy of brand detection across every tracked platform.

**Faster workflow** — Previously, adjusting project settings required navigating into each project individually. Now you can review scan history, compare grids, and fine-tune settings from the same screen — cutting out unnecessary navigation and keeping your focus on the data.

Grid comparison and inline project settings are available now on all keyword projects in [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/reporter).

## Auditor v1.2 - Batch URL run history and performance filters

**New**

The Batch URL Analyzer now saves every analysis run and lets you filter for underperforming pages — so you can track improvements over time and zero in on the pages that need attention most.

**Run history** — Every batch analysis you run is automatically saved. Come back days or weeks later and pull up any previous run to see exactly what the data looked like at that point. Compare results across runs to measure whether your optimizations are moving the needle — no need to re-analyze the same URLs to check progress.

**Poor performance filter** — A single click filters your results down to pages that are underperforming: low click-through rates, minimal organic traffic, few backlinks, or declining impressions. Instead of scanning through dozens of URLs trying to spot problems, the filter surfaces the pages that need your attention right now.

**Faster prioritization** — Combine the performance filter with column sorting to instantly build a prioritized action list. Find pages with high impressions but low clicks (title/meta fixes), pages with zero backlinks (link-building targets), or pages losing traffic (content refresh candidates) — all in seconds.

**Client-ready reporting** — With saved runs and filtered views, you can show clients exactly which pages improved since your last review and which ones still need work. Export any filtered view to CSV for inclusion in client reports.

Batch URL run history and performance filters are available now in [Audit tools](https://app.rankability.com/audit) for any client.

## Copywriter v4.3 - Claude citation extraction

**New**

Copywriter now pulls citations from Claude when researching your topic — adding a powerful new AI source alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok.

**More sources, better content** — Claude brings a distinct research perspective. It often surfaces authoritative sources and expert references that other AI platforms miss, giving your content briefs a more complete picture of what's being cited across the AI landscape.

**See exactly what Claude recommends** — Every Claude citation shows up in the Sources & Competitors section with its own logo and provenance label, just like the other platforms. You can see which URLs Claude considers most relevant to your topic and decide which ones to reference or outperform.

**Stronger competitor analysis** — With five AI platforms now contributing citations, you get a wider net of competitor URLs to analyze. Pages that show up across multiple AI sources are clearly authoritative — and the ones that don't are gaps you can fill.

**Automatic and seamless** — Claude citations are collected automatically during every Copywriter research run. No extra setup, no additional credits. The platform handles the API call, extracts the cited sources, and merges them into your existing research results.

Open any [Copywriter](https://app.rankability.com/copywriter) project and run a new research pass to see Claude citations alongside your other AI sources.

## Tracker v5.0 - Expanded Google tracking (top 30 results)

**Improved**

Tracker now tracks up to 30 Google organic results for every keyword — up from the previous limit of 10. This means significantly deeper visibility into where your clients rank, even when they're not on page one yet.

**3x more ranking coverage** — Every scan now captures positions 1 through 30 across Google search results. If your client ranks on page two or three, you'll see it — along with exactly who's outranking them and by how much.

**Spot opportunities you were missing** — A client sitting at position 12 or 18 is much closer to page one than you might think. With expanded tracking, you can identify these near-miss keywords and prioritize them for quick wins that move the needle.

**Track the full competitive landscape** — See up to 30 competing domains per keyword instead of just the top 10. Understand who's dominating deeper positions and find gaps in their coverage that your clients can exploit.

**Better trend data over time** — Positions that previously fell outside the tracking window now show up in historical trend charts. Watch a client climb from position 25 to position 8 over several months — the full journey is now visible.

No action needed — expanded tracking is already active on all keyword projects. Your next scan will automatically capture the broader result set.

## Auditor v1.1 - Batch URL Analyzer

**New**

The Auditor now includes a Batch URL Analyzer that lets you paste up to 100 URLs and get a unified performance snapshot across backlinks, search visibility, organic keywords, and traffic — all in a single table you can sort, filter, and export.

**Paste URLs and analyze** — Enter up to 100 URLs (one per line or comma-separated) and the analyzer fetches data from multiple sources in parallel: backlink counts and referring domains from DataForSEO, clicks and impressions from Google Search Console, sessions from Google Analytics, and organic keyword counts with estimated traffic. Results appear in a sortable table within seconds.

**Sort and filter results** — Click any column header to sort by backlinks, referring domains, GSC clicks, GSC impressions, GA4 sessions, or organic keywords. Filter by URL text to find specific pages, or use the data status filter to isolate URLs with complete data, partial data, or errors. Every column shows formatted numbers so you can quickly scan for outliers.

**Integration-aware** — The analyzer automatically detects whether your client has Google Search Console and Google Analytics connected. If connected, those columns populate with real data from the last 28 days. If not, the columns show as unavailable rather than misleading zeros — so you always know what data is real and what's missing.

**Export to CSV** — Once your analysis is complete, export the full results table to CSV with a single click. The export includes all columns and every URL, ready for spreadsheets, client reports, or further analysis.

**Use cases** — Prioritize which pages to update by sorting by organic keywords or backlinks. Find pages with high impressions but low clicks to optimize titles and meta descriptions. Identify pages with zero traffic that may need to be consolidated or removed. Compare backlink profiles across landing pages to guide link-building strategy.

The Batch URL Analyzer is available in the [Audit tools](https://app.rankability.com/audit) section for any client.

## Researcher v1.4 - Query fan-out discovery

**New**

Researcher now includes a new keyword source called Query Fan-Out that reverse-engineers how AI search engines decompose your topic into sub-queries — and turns those sub-queries into keyword opportunities you can target.

**How AI search actually works** — When someone searches a topic on an AI platform like Google AI Mode, the system doesn't just match keywords. It internally breaks the query into dozens of specific sub-questions, researches each one independently, and synthesizes a comprehensive answer. Query Fan-Out simulates this decomposition to reveal the implicit questions AI is exploring behind the scenes.

**Sub-queries become keywords** — For every research run, the system generates 15-20 sub-queries that an AI search agent would independently research to build a complete answer about your topic. These include foundational definitions, how-to techniques, comparative queries, common mistakes, data and statistics, beginner vs advanced angles, recent trends, and expert case studies — all tightly focused on your specific topic.

**Filter by source** — Query Fan-Out keywords appear with a purple branch icon in your results. Use the Sources filter to isolate them or view them alongside keywords from Google, People Also Ask, YouTube, Reddit, e-commerce, trending data, and AI expansion. Each keyword is tagged so you always know where it came from.

**Why this matters for rankings** — If your content answers the exact sub-queries that AI search engines are researching, you're more likely to be cited as a source in AI-generated answers. Query Fan-Out shows you what those sub-queries are so you can build content that directly addresses them.

Query Fan-Out runs automatically as part of every Discover research session — no extra setup needed. [Open Researcher](https://app.rankability.com/researcher) to see it in action.

## Auditor v1.0 - Google Business Profile audits

**New**

Introducing the Auditor — a new tool suite for automated SEO audits. The first tool in the Auditor is the GBP Auditor, which performs a comprehensive audit of any Google Business Profile connected to a client.

**Full profile audit** — The GBP Auditor evaluates your client's Google Business Profile across every dimension that matters for local SEO: profile completeness, business description quality, opening date, categories, photos and videos, Google Posts activity, Q\&A coverage, and website NAP consistency. Each checkpoint gets a clear status — pass, warning, or fail — so you can see exactly what needs attention.

**Review health analysis** — Go beyond star ratings. The auditor analyzes review velocity (how many reviews per month), keyword relevance (do reviews mention services you want to rank for), suspicious pattern detection (clusters of reviews from the same time or location), and flaggable reviews that may violate Google's policies. You'll know not just how many reviews you have, but whether they're actually helping your rankings.

**Competitor benchmarking** — The auditor pulls in local competitors from Google's local pack results, extracts their actual business categories, and benchmarks your client's profile against them. Visual bar charts compare review counts, ratings, photo counts, and post frequency so you can show clients exactly where they stand relative to the competition.

**AI-powered content assist** — For any checkpoint that needs improvement, the auditor can generate AI-powered fixes on the spot. Need a better business description? A reply to a negative review? A Google Post idea? A Q\&A answer? Click the fix button and get a suggestion grounded in your client's knowledge base, brand voice, and website content. Apply fixes directly to the profile via the GBP API.

**Shareable audit reports** — Generate a shareable link to send audit results to clients. The shared report shows all checkpoints, scores, and competitor benchmarks in a clean, branded format — no login required.

Access the GBP Auditor from any client's workspace under the Audit tab.

## Tracker v4.9 - Edit tracked platforms from the overview

**Improved**

You can now add or remove tracked platforms for any keyword project without leaving the Tracker overview page.

**Inline platform editing** — Click the platform count in the project overview card to open an editor showing all available platforms. Toggle platforms on or off with a single click — Google, Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, AI Overview, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, YouTube, and Local Pack are all available.

**Credit cost preview** — As you toggle platforms, the editor shows an updated credit cost estimate per scan so you know exactly what each configuration will cost before saving.

**No more settings detour** — Previously, changing tracked platforms required navigating into the project's settings page. Now it's a two-click operation right from the overview where you're already looking at your data.

## Refer & earn - Get rewarded for sharing Rankability

**New**

We're launching a referral program built for agencies and SEO professionals who already love using Rankability. If you're on an active paid plan, you can now earn Rankability credits for every new customer you bring in.

**How it works** — Head to the [Refer & earn](https://app.rankability.com/refer) page to grab your unique referral link. Share it with colleagues, partners, or anyone in your network who could benefit from better SEO content. When they sign up using your link and pay their first invoice, you earn a reward.

**Earn 40% per referral** — You earn 40% of each referral's monthly plan price as Rankability credits, up to $300 per referral. You earn the same amount whether they pick monthly or yearly billing, and there's no limit to how many businesses you can refer.

**Invite by email** — Don't want to share a link? Use the built-in email invite form to send personalized referral invitations directly from your dashboard. Add multiple email addresses at once, include a personal message, and we'll send a branded invitation on your behalf.

**Track everything** — Your Refer & earn dashboard shows your lifetime earnings, pending payouts, and the status of every referral. You'll see when someone signs up, when they convert to a paying customer, and when your reward is processed.

**Who can participate** — The referral program is available to all customers with an active paid subscription. No signup required — your referral link is generated automatically.

Visit [Refer & earn](https://app.rankability.com/refer) to get started.

## Tracker v4.8 - Password-protected reports and major redesign

**New**

Shared client reports just got a big upgrade — they're now password-protected for security and completely redesigned for clarity and impact.

**Password-protected reports** — You can now set a password on any shared client report. When a client visits the report link, they'll be asked to enter the password before they can see any data. Set or change the password from the share settings in your Tracker dashboard or client settings. Passwords are securely hashed and sessions last 7 days, so clients don't need to re-enter them on every visit.

**Global date range picker** — Shared reports now include a date range selector at the top of the page. Clients can view their performance data across last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or all time. All sections — SPI trends, Search Console, Google Analytics, and keyword performance — update dynamically based on the selected range.

**Key wins strip** — A new highlights section at the top of the report surfaces notable achievements at a glance — top SPI score, highest-performing keywords, and content scores — so clients immediately see what's working.

**Streamlined keyword table** — The keyword performance table is now collapsed by default, keeping the report scannable while still giving clients full access to the detailed breakdown when they want it. Platform icons have been resized for a cleaner single-row layout.

**Cleaner layout** — The entire report has been reorganized with a story-driven flow: executive summary, key wins, SPI trends, keyword performance, Search Console data, Google Analytics traffic, content overview, and next steps. Every section is designed to answer "what happened and why it matters" without overwhelming the reader.

To set a password on a shared report, open any client's Tracker page, click the share button, and enter a password in the security section.

## Copywriter v4.2 - YouTube Script mode

**New**

The Copywriter now generates fully structured YouTube video scripts designed to rank — not just on YouTube, but across Google Video Packs, AI Overviews, and AI platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

**Rank where video matters most** — YouTube is the world's second-largest search engine, and video results now appear everywhere: YouTube Search, Google's Video Pack carousels in regular search results, AI Overviews, and AI platform citations. A single well-optimized video can capture visibility across all of these surfaces simultaneously. YouTube Script mode builds your script to perform in every one of them.

**Research-driven scripts, not guesswork** — Like every Copywriter mode, YouTube Script starts by analyzing what's already ranking. The system pulls top-ranking YouTube videos for your topic, extracts their transcripts and chapter structures, and checks which videos AI platforms are citing. Your script is built on real competitive intelligence — not a blank page and a prompt.

**Scripts written for the camera, not the page** — The generated script is written in spoken format with natural conversational language, contractions, rhetorical questions, and short paragraphs optimized for teleprompter readability. Each script includes hook markers, B-roll and graphic cues, call-to-action placements, and chapter headings with timestamps — everything you need to go straight from script to production.

**Chapters, descriptions, and tags included** — Every script comes with a complete chapter structure, an optimized video description, and a tag set — all generated from the brief's keyword and entity analysis. These metadata elements are what YouTube's algorithm and AI platforms use to understand and surface your content.

**YouTube-specific optimization scoring** — The Optimize sidebar adapts for video. Instead of checking title tags and meta descriptions, it scores your video title, description, and tags for keyword placement. Entity coverage scoring works the same way it does for articles — tracking which important topics your script mentions and highlighting gaps. The result is a script that covers the entities AI platforms look for when deciding which content to cite.

**Four content formats** — Choose the format that matches your topic: Tutorial for step-by-step walkthroughs, Listicle for curated roundups, Explainer for breaking down complex topics, or Opinion for reviews and first-person takes. Each format shapes the script's structure and pacing to match what viewers expect.

**Full Copywriter workflow** — YouTube Script mode uses the same research, brief review, and editing workflow you already know. Review the brief, adjust chapters and entities, generate the script, then edit it in the full content editor with real-time scoring. Brand voice, tone settings, knowledge base context, and multi-language support all carry over.

## MCP v1.0 - Connect Rankability to your AI assistant

**New**

Rankability now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), letting you connect your SEO data directly to AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf. Ask your AI assistant about your clients, rankings, and content — and it can read and act on your Rankability data in real time.

**Works with your favorite AI tools** — Connect Rankability to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Your assistant gets access to your clients, content projects, rank tracking data, and credit balance through a secure, authenticated connection.

**Read your SEO data conversationally** — Ask your AI assistant questions like "How is Acme Corp performing?" or "Which keywords dropped this week?" and it pulls live data from Rankability. List clients, check SPI scores, review content project status, and browse ranking results — all through natural conversation.

**Create content and trigger scans** — Your AI assistant can create new content jobs, approve research briefs, and trigger rank tracking scans on your behalf. Use auto mode for fully hands-off content generation, or stepped mode to review the brief before generating the full draft.

**Two connection methods** — Use the hosted HTTP endpoint for Cursor and Windsurf (just add the URL and your API key to your MCP config), or connect Claude Desktop through the OAuth connector (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector — no API key or local install needed). Setup takes under a minute either way.

**Secured by your API key** — MCP connections use the same API keys you already manage in Settings. All the same scopes, rate limits, and credit controls apply. Your data stays within your organization's access boundaries.

Get started by visiting the [MCP integration guide](https://help.rankability.com/api/mcp-getting-started) in the help center.

## Tracker v4.7 - Search Console and Analytics in shared reports

**New**

Client reports you share with stakeholders just got a lot more useful. The shared report page now surfaces real performance data from Google Search Console and Google Analytics — so your clients can see how their SEO is performing without needing platform access.

**Search Console performance section** — Shared reports now include a dedicated section showing clicks, impressions, average CTR, and average position for the last 28 days. Period-over-period comparisons highlight whether each metric is trending up or down. A daily trend chart visualizes click and impression patterns, and a top queries table shows which search terms are driving the most traffic.

**Google Analytics traffic section** — If GA4 is connected, shared reports now show website traffic metrics including sessions, page views, average session duration, and bounce rate — with period-over-period deltas. A traffic sources breakdown shows where visitors are coming from.

**Local pack breakdown** — The SPI score breakdown card now includes a Local pack bar for clients with local keywords, matching what you see inside the platform.

**Consistent scoring labels** — SPI score labels and colors on shared reports now match the platform exactly — Strong (70+), Moderate (40-69), and Weak (below 40) with the same color coding.

**Reliable email branding** — Report notification emails now load the Rankability logo and agency logos reliably across all email clients.

## Tracker v4.6 - Automated report delivery

**New**

Tracker can now send branded performance reports to your clients automatically on a schedule you set — no more manually sharing links or remembering to follow up.

**Set it and forget it** — Open any client's settings and configure a report schedule. Choose weekly (pick the day) or monthly (pick the date), add recipient email addresses, and optionally CC yourself or an account manager for QA. Reports go out on schedule without any manual work.

**Branded emails** — Every report email uses your agency's white-label branding. Your logo, agency name, and accent color appear prominently. The email includes a snapshot of key metrics — SPI score, keyword count, and top movers — so clients get a quick performance summary right in their inbox. A "View full report" button links to the live shared report page with complete details.

**Send now** — Need to send a report outside the regular schedule? Hit the "Send report now" button from the client's Tracker page or dashboard. The same branded email goes out immediately to the configured recipients.

**Delivery history** — Every report delivery is logged. Check the report history in client settings to see when each report was sent, who received it, and the delivery status. Full transparency for your team.

**Smart defaults** — When a scheduled report runs, the system automatically creates a shared report link if one doesn't already exist. Clients with no tracking data yet are handled gracefully. Duplicate sends within the same window are prevented automatically.

## Serena v3.1 - Conversation history

**Improved**

Serena now saves your conversations automatically and lets you pick up exactly where you left off — no more losing context when you close a tab or switch clients.

**Automatic save** — Every conversation is saved as you go. Close your browser, switch to another client, come back tomorrow — your full chat thread is waiting for you. No manual save button, no lost work.

**History panel** — Click the History button in Serena toolbar to see all your past conversations for the current client. Each entry shows the conversation title and when it was last active. Click any conversation to load it instantly and continue where you left off.

**Resume in context** — When you reload a conversation, Serena has the full thread available. It remembers the recommendations it gave, the data it referenced, and the direction the conversation was heading. Follow-up questions build on what was already discussed instead of starting fresh.

**Start fresh anytime** — Hit the new conversation button to begin a clean thread whenever you want a fresh start. Your previous conversations stay in history and are always accessible.

**Per-client organization** — Conversations are organized by client, so each client's strategic discussions stay separate and easy to find. Switch between clients and each one has its own conversation history.

## Researcher v1.3 - Client keyword approval

**New**

Researcher now lets you share keyword strategies with clients for approval through a single link — eliminating the spreadsheet back-and-forth that slows down every SEO engagement.

**One link, full context** — From any Researcher project, select the keywords you want approved (or share all of them) and generate a shareable link. Your client receives a clean, branded page showing every keyword with its search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, intent classification, opportunity score, and trend sparkline. They see exactly what you see — no stripped-down spreadsheet export, no lost context.

**Approve, reject, or comment** — Clients review each keyword individually, approving or rejecting with a single click. They can leave notes on specific keywords explaining why they want changes, and add overall feedback before submitting. You get a clear, structured response instead of a messy email thread.

**Results at a glance** — Once a client submits their decisions, you see a summary breakdown right inside your Researcher project: how many keywords were approved, rejected, and any notes they left. Click into the details to see the full per-keyword breakdown with client feedback, or expand the results inline without leaving your workflow.

**White-label ready** — Share links automatically pick up your agency branding. Your logo, agency name, and brand color appear on the approval page. The client sees your brand, not ours. If you have a client display name configured, the page is personalized with "Prepared for \[client name]" so it feels like a polished deliverable.

**Email notification** — Optionally enter your client's email address when creating the share link and they'll receive a branded email with a direct link to the approval page. No need to copy-paste URLs into a separate message.

**Expiration control** — Set links to expire after 7, 14, 30, or 90 days — or never. Expired links show a clear message instead of broken data. You can delete share links at any time from the project detail page.

**Why this matters** — Keyword approval is one of the biggest friction points in agency SEO workflows. The typical process involves exporting to a spreadsheet, emailing it to the client, waiting for a response, deciphering their feedback, and manually reconciling changes. This feature collapses that entire loop into a single step: send a link, get structured approvals back. Clients spend less time confused by raw data, and you spend less time chasing responses.

## Tracker v4.5 - YouTube Search and Video Pack tracking

**New**

Tracker can now track your video rankings across YouTube Search and Google's Video Pack carousel — giving you full visibility into how your video content performs in both dedicated video search and blended web results.

**YouTube Search tracking** — Add YouTube Search as a platform when setting up a tracking project and Tracker will monitor where your videos rank for each keyword on YouTube. Results include the video title, channel, and position. Weekly scan frequency keeps credit usage efficient since YouTube rankings tend to be stable.

**Google Video Pack tracking** — Track whether your videos appear in Google's video carousel — the video results that show up directly in regular search results. Video Pack scanning runs daily alongside your organic scans at no extra credit cost, so you always know when your videos gain or lose carousel visibility.

**Video search performance card** — A dedicated performance section shows your video rankings with color-coded rank badges that make it easy to spot top positions at a glance. Each result displays the ranking position, video title, and source platform clearly. Keywords where no video was found show a clean "not found" state instead of cluttering the view.

**Video SPI score** — Your Search Performance Index now includes a video component that calculates a position-weighted visibility score across both YouTube Search and Video Pack results. Track how your overall video visibility trends over time alongside your organic and AI citation scores.

**Setup guidance** — When adding video platforms, you can optionally provide your YouTube channel URL and name to help Tracker identify which results belong to you versus competitors.

## API v1.1 - Full platform access and abuse protection

**New**

The Rankability API now covers the entire platform — not just content creation. You can manage clients, tracking projects, and content programmatically, with built-in protection against runaway integrations.

**Client management** — Create, update, and delete clients via the API. Set brand voice, website URL, industry, and custom instructions when creating a client, or update them later. Use `clients:read` and `clients:write` scopes to control access.

**Tracker tracking** — Create tracking projects with keywords, platforms, and locations. Update project settings, trigger on-demand scans, and pull ranking results and trends — all through the API. New scopes: `reporter:write` for creating and modifying projects, `reporter:run` for triggering scans, and `reporter:read` for pulling data.

**Copywriter list, export, and delete** — List all your content projects with filtering, export finished articles as HTML, Markdown, or Word, and delete projects you no longer need. These join the existing job creation and status endpoints.

**Abuse protection** — The API now uses a sliding-window rate limiter that distributes requests evenly instead of allowing bursts at window boundaries. Keys that generate excessive errors or rate limit violations are automatically suspended with a clear error message explaining the suspension and how to resolve it. All rate-limited requests are now logged for full visibility. Your admin can reactivate suspended keys from the API settings page.

**API version header** — Every API response now includes an `X-API-Version` header so your integrations can detect which version they're running against. The current version is 1.1.0.

## Performance improvements

**Improved**

Faster page loads and smoother navigation across the platform.

**Optimized font loading** — Render-blocking font requests have been eliminated. Brand fonts now preload immediately and Google Fonts load asynchronously, so the page renders without waiting for external font files.

**Immutable asset caching** — Static assets built by the bundler are now served with year-long immutable cache headers. Returning visitors load cached JavaScript and CSS instantly instead of re-downloading them.

**Faster dashboard rendering** — The agency dashboard now loads as part of the main bundle instead of lazy-loading separately, eliminating the extra network round-trip on your first visit.

**Web vitals monitoring** — Real-world performance metrics (LCP, FCP, CLS, INP, TTFB) are now tracked automatically so we can identify and fix performance issues proactively.

## Copywriter v4.1 - Versus comparison template

**New**

Enter a keyword like "FreshBooks vs QuickBooks" or "Notion versus Coda" and the Copywriter now produces a structured, head-to-head comparison article built from real product data — not a generic pros-and-cons list.

**Automatic detection** — Any keyword containing "vs", "versus", or "compared to" between two brand or product names triggers the versus template. The system validates both names and confirms they're real, comparable products before proceeding. Keywords that don't match continue using your existing templates.

**Product research from source** — After detection, the system scrapes both products' homepages and pricing pages to build structured product cards. Pricing tiers, key features, positioning, and target audience are extracted from the actual websites and injected into the draft prompt. The AI writes from verified information instead of relying on training data — and clearly states when specific details couldn't be confirmed.

**Structure that converts** — The template follows the format used by top-ranking versus articles. Every draft includes a quick verdict so readers get the answer immediately, a head-to-head comparison table for side-by-side scanning, category-by-category breakdowns with a winner callout in each section, brief product profiles, and a decision framework that matches use cases to the right product. The structure is designed to satisfy both "which is better" searches and the deeper "help me decide" intent behind them.

**Built for search visibility** — The comparison table, category winners, and structured verdict give search engines clear, extractable data for featured snippets and AI-generated answers. The consistent per-section format with explicit winner callouts maps directly to how AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity structure comparison responses.

**Works with all Copywriter features** — Versus projects support entity coverage scoring, editorial review, multi-language targeting, and all export formats. The scoring system adapts to the comparison structure, and the head-to-head table counts toward your entity coverage.

## Tracker v4.4 - Google Business Profile integration

**New**

Tracker now prompts you to connect your Google Business Profile when setting up tracking — and uses that data to deliver more accurate local visibility scoring.

**Smarter local tracking** — When GBP is connected, Tracker can cross-reference your Local Pack rankings with your actual business listing data. This means your local SPI score reflects real visibility, not just whether a result appeared in the map pack.

**Guided setup** — Both the keyword tracking and benchmark report setup flows now check whether your client has a GBP connected. If not, a prompt links you directly to the data integrations page to connect it before you start tracking. Getting the data source in place up front means better results from the first scan.

**Works alongside existing integrations** — GBP data joins GSC, GA4, and YouTube as another connected source that enriches Tracker insights and Serena recommendations. The more data connected, the more complete the picture.

## Agency dashboard v1.0 - Portfolio performance

**New**

A new Portfolio performance page gives you a single view of every client's search and traffic metrics side by side — no more clicking into each client individually to understand how they're doing.

**All clients, one table** — See GSC clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position alongside GA4 sessions and engagement rate for every client. Each metric includes a period-over-period change indicator so you can spot who's growing and who needs attention at a glance.

**SPI scores included** — Each client's Search Performance Index score is displayed with a visual ring and trend indicator showing whether visibility is improving or declining compared to the previous period.

**Sortable and searchable** — Sort by any column to find your top performers or surface struggling clients. Search by name or domain to quickly locate a specific account. Adjustable date ranges (7, 14, 28, or 90 days) let you zoom in or out.

**Portfolio totals** — A summary row at the top aggregates clicks, impressions, sessions, and tracked keywords across your entire portfolio, with counts showing how many clients have GSC and GA4 connected.

**Quick actions** — Clients without GSC or GA4 show a "Connect" link that takes you straight to their data integrations page. Click any client row to jump directly into their workspace.

## Serena v3.0 - Unified mode

**Improved**

Serena now runs as a single, unified chat that has access to everything you've connected for a client — knowledge base documents, crawled websites, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Business Profile, YouTube data, and Tracker insights. No more switching between separate Serena views.

**One conversation, full context** — Ask any question and Serena draws from all connected data sources at once. It can cross-reference your GSC keyword performance with your knowledge base content, compare GA4 engagement trends against Tracker visibility scores, or use your GBP reviews to inform content strategy — all in the same conversation.

**Your knowledge base is always active** — Every document, crawled page, and uploaded file in your client's knowledge base is available to Serena by default. Brand voice, product details, competitor notes, and custom research all inform every response without you needing to specify which sources to use.

**Saved conversations carry over** — Your chat history is preserved across sessions. Pick up where you left off, revisit past recommendations, or build on earlier analysis without re-explaining context.

## Promoter v1.1 - Cleaner anchor text analysis

**Improved**

The anchors tab in Promoter has been refined to make your backlink profile easier to read and act on.

**Faster scanning** — Category labels are now single-word badges (Brand, URL, Generic, Commercial, Spam) that sit cleanly in one line. No more truncated or wrapping text in the category column — you can scan your entire anchor profile at a glance.

**Instant context on hover** — Every category badge shows a tooltip explaining what it means and why it matters. Hover "Commercial" to learn about over-optimization risks, or "Brand" to understand why branded anchors signal a healthy link profile. The detail is there when you need it, hidden when you don't.

**Consistent visual identity** — The distribution bar, legend, and table badges now use a cohesive color palette that's easier on the eyes. Each category is distinct enough to spot patterns immediately — whether you're checking the distribution chart or scrolling through individual anchors.

**Streamlined column headers** — The backlinks table headers (Domain Score → DS, Page Keywords → Keywords) are tighter, giving more room to the data that matters. Each header still has a tooltip with the full explanation.

## Promoter v1.0 - Backlink profile overview

**New**

The Promoter tab now includes a complete backlink profile for every client with a domain configured. See exactly who links to you, how your link profile is growing, and where your strongest pages are — all without leaving Rankability.

**Your link profile at a glance** — The overview shows your total backlinks, referring domains, domain authority score, and the balance of follow vs nofollow links. A 30-day snapshot highlights how many new links you've gained and lost recently, so you can spot momentum shifts before they show up in rankings.

**Referring domain trends** — A historical chart tracks your referring domain count over time, with adjustable windows from 1 to 12 months. Growth patterns become obvious — you can quickly tell whether a link building campaign is working or whether you're quietly losing ground.

**Top pages** — See which pages on your site attract the most backlinks and referring domains. Each page shows its HTTP status, so you'll immediately spot if high-authority links are pointing to broken or redirected URLs — a common source of wasted link equity.

**Anchor text distribution** — Review the most common anchor text used in links pointing to your site. Healthy profiles show a mix of branded, keyword, and natural anchors. Over-optimized anchor profiles stand out clearly.

**Full backlink list** — Browse individual backlinks with filters for follow type, link type, and status. Each entry shows the linking domain's authority score, anchor text, context, and when the link was first and last seen. Export up to 10,000 backlinks as CSV for deeper analysis or client reporting.

**Page-level drill-down** — Click any page in the Top Pages view to see every backlink pointing specifically to that URL. Useful for auditing link equity distribution or investigating why a particular page ranks well.

## Copywriter v4.0 - Listicle content route

**New**

When you enter a keyword like "best project management tools" or "top CRM software for small business", the Copywriter now automatically detects it as a listicle and applies a specialized roundup template — producing tightly structured, scannable content modeled on what actually ranks for these queries.

**Automatic detection** — No setup needed. Enter any keyword containing patterns like "best", "top", "most popular", or similar roundup phrasing, and the system recognizes it during intent classification. The entire pipeline adjusts: outline structure, draft rules, section format, and word budgets all switch to the listicle template. Keywords that don't match (like "how to use Ahrefs" or "SEO strategy guide") continue using standard templates.

**Structure that ranks** — The template is built from analyzing what actually performs for roundup queries. Every draft includes a Quick Picks comparison table so scanners get immediate value, individually structured listings with consistent formatting across every item, and a methodology section that builds trust. The structure prioritizes scannability — readers can compare options at a glance, find pricing fast, and get a clear recommendation without reading the entire article.

**Product research from source** — After the outline is generated, the system identifies each listed product and scrapes its homepage and pricing page using Firecrawl. Pricing tiers, starting prices, key features, and positioning are extracted and injected into the draft prompt as first-party data. The AI writes from real product information instead of guessing — it cites real prices where they exist, notes custom or quote-based pricing for contact-sales products, and simply leaves pricing out (focusing on capabilities and fit) when none is publicly available, rather than padding every entry with a placeholder.

**Built for Google and AI search** — The listicle structure is designed to rank in both traditional search results and AI-generated answers. The Quick Picks table and consistent per-item format give search engines clear, structured data to pull from, while the factual product details and comparison format make the content more likely to be cited by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

**Works with all Copywriter features** — Listicle projects support the same workflow you already know: entity coverage scoring, editorial review, multi-language targeting, Google Docs and WordPress export, and real-time optimization in the editor. The scoring system adapts to the listicle structure, and the Quick Picks table counts toward your entity coverage.

## Copywriter v3.9 - GSC Search Coverage in the editor

**New**

Your editor sidebar now has a "Search queries" tab that connects your Google Search Console data directly to the content you're writing. If your client has GSC connected, you can enable it during the Optimize step — the system pulls the real search queries people use to find your page and shows you which ones your content actually covers.

**See what your audience is searching** — Instead of guessing which queries matter, you get the actual terms driving impressions and clicks to the page you're optimizing. Queries are grouped into topic clusters so you can quickly scan related searches together rather than sifting through a flat list.

**Know exactly what's covered** — Each query is checked against your draft using the same phrase-matching logic as entity coverage. A query like "clearscope vs surfer seo" only shows as covered if that phrase actually appears in your content — not just because the individual words are scattered across the page. This gives you an honest picture of what your content addresses and what it's missing.

**Impression-weighted scoring** — The coverage score isn't just a count of covered queries. It's weighted by impressions, so covering a query that drives 5,000 impressions matters more than covering one with 50. The score reflects real search demand, not just keyword volume.

**Spot content gaps at a glance** — Uncovered query clusters are highlighted so you can see exactly which topics your content is missing. Each cluster shows how many of its queries are covered, partially covered, or completely absent — along with the impressions at stake. This makes it easy to prioritize which gaps to fill first based on actual traffic potential.

**Works alongside entity coverage** — The Search queries tab sits next to your existing Optimize scoring. Entity coverage tells you which competitor-derived terms to include; search coverage tells you which real-world queries your audience is using. Together, they give you a complete picture of what your content needs to rank and to satisfy search intent.

## Copywriter v3.8 - HTML developer handoff export

**New**

The HTML export in Copywriter now produces a structured, annotated file designed for developers and AI coding agents to implement directly — not just a raw content dump.

**Semantic section classes** — Each section in your draft is wrapped in a `<section>` element with a class name that describes its purpose. A local service page, for example, exports with section classes like `ls-hero`, `ls-trust-bar`, `ls-services`, `ls-differentiators`, `ls-social-proof`, `ls-process`, `ls-service-area`, `ls-pricing`, `ls-faq`, and `ls-cta-final`. A developer or AI agent receiving this file knows immediately what each block is and can use the class names directly as component selectors.

**Component-ready transforms** — For local service pages, the export restructures content into implementation-ready patterns. Service listings become card grids. Trust signals become badge strips. FAQ questions use native `<details>/<summary>` accordion elements. Process steps are formatted as ordered sequences. Call-to-action phrases are converted to styled button links. A developer can drop these components into any framework with minimal rework.

**Developer manifest** — The top of every exported file includes a comment block listing every section found, its class name, and a short implementation hint. For a local service page, the manifest might read: `ls-trust-bar — Horizontal row of credential badges — implement as a flex/grid strip with icons` or `ls-faq — Accordion component — use <details>/<summary> for native HTML or a JS accordion widget`. This acts as a build checklist.

**Hand it to an AI coding agent** — If you use an AI coding tool like Cursor, Windsurf, Replit Agent, or similar, you can give it the exported HTML file as a starting point. The section structure, component patterns, class names, and implementation hints give the agent strong context for what to build and how the sections relate to each other.

**Works for all content types** — Local service pages get the full semantic treatment with industry-specific section classes and element transforms. All other content types export with `content-section` wrappers and `data-heading` attributes, keeping the structure clear for implementation regardless of the content template used.

**How to use it** — Open any content project, click Export, and choose "HTML (developer handoff)". The downloaded file is ready to hand off to your developer, paste into a CMS, or feed to an AI coding agent as a build spec.

## Copywriter v3.7 - Local service landing pages

**New**

When you enter a keyword that combines a service with a location — like "hvac service los angeles" or "personal injury lawyer dallas" — the Copywriter now automatically generates a conversion-focused landing page instead of a generic article. The result is a structured service page that mirrors what actually ranks for local intent queries.

**Automatic detection** — No setup needed. Enter a service keyword with a city, state, or region, and the system recognizes it as a local service page during intent classification. The entire content pipeline shifts: outline, draft rules, section structure, and copy constraints all switch to the local service template. Keywords without a location (like "best hvac tips" or "how to fix a furnace") continue using standard article templates.

**Purpose-built landing page structure** — Instead of generating a long-form article with an introduction, body, and conclusion, the local service template produces a wireframe built from sections that high-performing service pages actually use:

1. **Hero** — H1 with service and city, a short value proposition, trust bullets, and a primary call to action. Under 100 words.
2. **Trust bar** — Short credibility labels only: certifications, ratings, awards, guarantees. No paragraphs.
3. **Services overview** — 4-6 sub-services with bold names and one-sentence descriptions, structured as a card grid.
4. **Why choose us** — 4-6 differentiators, each as a bold label with a one-sentence benefit.
5. **Social proof** — Scannable data points, not paragraphs. Stats, coverage figures, and trust indicators.
6. **How it works** — 3-5 numbered steps, each 1-2 sentences. Designed to reduce buyer anxiety by showing the process is simple.
7. **Service area** — 1-2 short paragraphs with genuine local context: climate, regulations, neighborhood names, and local factors that affect the service. Not keyword stuffing.
8. **FAQ** — 4-6 locally-flavored questions with concise 2-3 sentence answers.
9. **Final CTA** — Reiteration of value prop with phone, form, and scheduling prompts.

**Industry-adaptive rules** — The template detects your service industry and adjusts tone and emphasis. Home services content highlights guarantees, emergency availability, and NATE/EPA certifications. Legal content emphasizes case results, contingency fees, and bar credentials. Medical content focuses on board certifications, accepted insurance, and patient experience. Professional services content leads with ROI, client portfolio, and industry expertise. The rules change automatically based on the keyword.

**Tight copy constraints** — Every local service draft targets 800-1,200 words. Paragraphs are capped at 2-3 sentences. City name mentions are limited to 3-5 across the entire page, always in natural context. At least 3 CTAs are placed throughout (hero, mid-page, final). The system explicitly avoids the common AI failure of producing 2,000+ word articles for what should be a concise, action-oriented service page.

**Knowledge base integration** — When your client has brand settings and a knowledge base configured, the draft pulls in actual business information: real service names, certifications, service areas, and differentiators. Instead of generic placeholder copy, you get a draft that already sounds like the business.

**Why this matters** — Local service pages that rank well in both traditional search and AI platforms share a common structure: they lead with trust, show specific services, prove credibility, explain the process, and make it easy to take action. The old approach of generating a 2,000-word article for "plumber chicago" produced content that looked and read like a blog post, not a service page. This template produces content that matches the format searchers and search engines expect for local service intent.

## Copywriter v3.6 - Alternatives content type

**New**

When you enter a keyword like "semrush alternatives" or "ahrefs competitors", the Copywriter now automatically detects this as an alternatives article and applies a specialized content template — producing tighter, more structured drafts that match the format readers expect from comparison content.

**Automatic detection** — No setup needed. Enter any keyword containing "alternatives" or "competitors" and the system recognizes it during intent classification. The entire pipeline adjusts automatically: outline structure, draft rules, and external links all shift to the alternatives template. Keywords that don't match (like "best SEO tools" or "semrush review") continue using the standard templates.

**Proven article structure** — The alternatives template enforces a structure modeled on high-performing comparison content: a Quick Picks section right after the intro so scanners get immediate value, evaluation criteria explaining what was assessed, a comparison table for side-by-side reference, individually structured listings for each tool, and a Decision Framework after all listings to help readers choose. This replaces the generic "compete" template that previously handled all competitive keywords.

**Consistent per-tool listings** — Each alternative gets the same structured treatment: a positioning statement explaining why it's a strong alternative, a "Best for" line, 3-4 standout features as bullet points, and a closing insight that rotates across labels like "Practical note", "Why teams choose it", "Budget note", and "When it's the right fit". This keeps every listing scannable and prevents the AI from falling into repetitive paragraph-heavy descriptions.

**Product research from source** — After the outline is generated, the system scrapes each listed tool's homepage using Firecrawl and summarizes the key details: positioning, features, pricing, and target audience. These summaries are injected into the draft prompt as first-party product knowledge, so the AI writes grounded descriptions based on what each tool actually says about itself — not generic filler or outdated information.

**Auto-generated external links** — Each alternative in the outline automatically gets an external link pointing to that tool's homepage. These flow through to the brief for your review and appear as citations in the final draft. No need to manually add links for each tool.

**Comparison table built in** — The template instructs the AI to include a comparison table with columns for tool name, best use case, starting price, and key notes. This gives readers a quick reference point before diving into the individual listings.

The alternatives template is the first in a series of content-type-specific templates. Detection for "versus" and "review" content types is already in place and will receive their own specialized templates in upcoming releases.

## GSC Intelligence v2 - faster, leaner, sharper

**Improved**

Everything powered by Google Search Console data just got significantly faster. The Explorer, content decay detection, low-hanging fruit analysis, keyword trend charts, and performance dashboards all load quicker across the board.

**Faster load times** — Every GSC-powered feature now responds faster, especially on accounts with large volumes of search data. Pages that previously took several seconds to load should feel noticeably snappier. The improvement is most visible in the Explorer and content decay views where complex queries run against months of historical data.

**18-month historical window** — Your GSC data now goes back 18 months, giving you a full year-over-year comparison plus a 6-month buffer. Content decay detection benefits the most from the deeper history — the system can spot longer-term traffic trends and flag pages that are gradually losing performance over time, not just recent dips.

**Smarter daily syncs** — Each daily sync now captures up to 55,000 rows per property, prioritized by the queries and pages that actually drive clicks. This means the data you see in the Explorer and keyword charts focuses on the keywords that matter most for your traffic, while keeping storage lean and queries fast.

**What changed in the UI** — The device and country filter dropdowns have been removed from the GSC Explorer. Your metrics now reflect total performance across all devices and regions by default, which is more aligned with how most SEO decisions are made. All other features — anomaly detection, annotations, content decay heatmaps, and the performance dashboard — work exactly as before.

## Tracker v4.3 - Citation history

**Improved**

The AI citations section in Tracker now includes a redesigned "Citation history" tab that shows how consistently your domain and competitors are cited across AI search platforms over time.

**Citation presence grid** — Each row is a domain that has been cited by at least one AI platform (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, AI Mode, AI Overview). Each column is a scan date. The cell shows a percentage representing how many AI platforms cited that source on that date — 100% means every platform cited it, 43% means roughly half did. Color intensity reflects citation breadth at a glance: darker blue means broader coverage across platforms.

**Consistency tracking** — The sticky column on the right shows how many scans a domain has appeared in out of total scans run. A domain showing 10/10 (100%) is a fixture in AI results for that keyword. One showing 3/10 (30%) is intermittent. This helps you distinguish between sources that AI models have locked in as authoritative versus ones that come and go.

**Competitor intelligence** — Your domain is pinned to the top row with a "You" badge so you can immediately compare your citation coverage against competitors. "New" and "Lost" badges flag domains that have recently entered or dropped out of AI citations, surfacing shifts in the competitive landscape.

**Tooltip detail** — Hover any cell to see the full per-platform breakdown showing exactly which AI platforms cited that source and at what position. The summary line tells you how many platforms out of the total cited the domain on that date.

This view gets more valuable with each scan. After a few weeks of data, clear patterns emerge showing which domains consistently own the AI citation landscape for your tracked keywords.

## Copywriter v3.5 - Editorial review in the editor

**New**

Your editor sidebar now has an "Edit" tab alongside "Optimize", giving you AI-powered editorial feedback without leaving the page.

**AI editorial review** — Click the Edit tab in the sidebar and the system analyzes your entire draft for clarity, tone, readability, and structural issues. Each suggestion shows the original text next to a proposed replacement, so you can evaluate the change at a glance. Click any suggestion card to jump directly to the relevant passage in your draft — the text highlights briefly so you can see exactly what the AI is referring to.

**One-click accept or dismiss** — Every suggestion has Accept and Dismiss buttons. Accepting a suggestion applies the replacement instantly in your draft. Dismissing removes it from the list. Your decisions persist across sessions, so if you close the editor and come back later, accepted and dismissed suggestions stay where you left them.

**Unmatched suggestions stay out of the way** — If you've already edited a passage that a suggestion targets, it can no longer be applied automatically. Instead of cluttering the list, unmatched suggestions collapse into a compact "N unmatched" summary you can expand if you want to review them.

**Progress tracking** — The sidebar header shows how many suggestions remain (e.g., "Edit mode · 4 remaining"), so you always know how much editorial work is left. Work through them at your own pace — the count updates as you accept or dismiss.

## Copywriter v3.4 - Manual draft mode

**New**

Sometimes you want to write the content yourself but still need competitor data and real-time scoring. Manual draft mode gives you exactly that — skip the AI-generated brief and draft, and go straight to the editor with full research context.

**Write your own content with scoring** — Choose "Manual draft" when creating a new project. Enter your target keyword, run competitor research as usual, and then land directly in the editor with an empty canvas. Write or paste your own draft, and the Optimize sidebar scores it in real time against the same competitor benchmarks used for AI-generated content. You get entity coverage, keyword placement analysis, and a Rankability score — all updating live as you type.

**Streamlined flow** — Manual projects skip the brief review step entirely. After competitor research completes, you're taken straight to the editor. The Brief tab is hidden since there's no AI brief to review. Your project shows "In progress" status and a violet "Manual" badge in the Copywriter dashboard so you can easily distinguish it from standard and optimize projects.

**Same research, your words** — The competitor analysis, entity extraction, and intent classification all run normally. The only difference is that instead of generating a brief and draft, the system hands you an empty editor with all the scoring infrastructure ready. You bring the writing; we bring the intelligence.

Manual mode is ideal for writers who prefer full creative control, for repurposing existing content from other sources, or for topics where you have deep expertise and just need the SEO scoring framework to validate your work.

## Tracker v4.2 - Benchmark reports

**New**

You can now run a one-time visibility snapshot for any keyword across every search engine and AI platform — without committing to an ongoing tracking project.

**One-click benchmark reports** — Open Tracker, click "New project", and choose "Benchmark report". Enter a keyword, pick your platforms, and hit "Run benchmark". The system scans every platform you selected and delivers a full SPI breakdown in minutes. You get traditional rankings, AI mentions, AI citations, and an overall visibility score — the same data as a tracking project, just without the recurring schedule.

**Same dashboard, no commitment** — Benchmark results land in the same project dashboard you already know. You see the scanning timeline with live platform-by-platform progress, then the full results view with platform cards, position data, and citation details. Everything looks and works exactly like a standard tracking project.

**Convert to tracking anytime** — Every benchmark report includes an auto-tracking toggle. If a client sees their snapshot and wants ongoing monitoring, flip the switch and the project starts scanning on a recurring schedule. No need to re-enter the keyword, domain, or platform selection — it's all already there.

**Compact platform picker** — Both benchmark and tracking setup now use a streamlined grid layout for platform selection. Platforms are displayed in a 2–3 column grid with inline frequency controls, replacing the old full-width row layout. The entire setup form is shorter and faster to fill out.

**Cleaner credit display** — The detailed credit usage card has been replaced with a single summary line next to the create button. You see the total cost and platform count at a glance without a separate card interrupting your flow.

Benchmark reports are ideal for sales calls, prospect audits, and quick competitive checks. Run one before a pitch to show a potential client exactly where they stand — then convert it to tracked monitoring once they sign on.

## Tracker v4.1 - Multi-location tracking

**Improved**

If you manage a brand with multiple locations, you no longer need to check each project one at a time. GBP Group Tracking lets you create a location group, assign Tracker projects to each location, and see how the entire brand is performing from a single view.

**Group-level performance rollups** — Each group shows an aggregated SPI score across all locations so you can gauge overall brand visibility at a glance. Drill into any location to see its individual keyword rankings, platform breakdowns, and trend history without leaving the group view.

**Spot cannibalization across locations** — When two or more of your locations rank for the same keyword, the system flags it automatically. You can see exactly which locations are competing against each other and on which platforms, so you can adjust targeting before it costs you traffic.

**Location-specific search volume** — Keywords are now grouped by the location tied to each project, and search volume data is pulled for that specific market. A keyword's volume in Dallas may look very different from its volume nationally — now you see the number that actually matters for each location.

**Filter and organize by group** — The Tracker project list includes a group filter so you can isolate all projects belonging to a single brand. Projects linked to a group display a badge you can click to jump straight into the group dashboard.

To get started, open Tracker for any client, click the "GBP Groups" option in the sidebar, and create your first location group. Add your locations, link existing Tracker projects to each one, and the rollup dashboard populates instantly.

## Tracker API v1.0 - Tracking data for your dashboards and tools

**New**

Your Tracker data is no longer locked inside the app. The new Tracker API gives you programmatic access to every SPI score, platform result, and trend in your account — so you can pipe it into the tools your clients and team already use.

**Build client-facing dashboards** — Pull SPI scores, trend history, and platform breakdowns into Looker Studio, Google Sheets, or any BI tool. Create live dashboards that update automatically, branded with your agency's look, and share them with clients who want to see progress without logging into another platform. No more screenshotting charts or copy-pasting numbers into slide decks.

**Monitor all your clients from one place** — The summary endpoint returns your organization-wide average SPI, top movers (biggest gains and drops), and platform coverage across every project. Use it to build an internal command center that flags which clients need attention and which are trending up — without clicking through dozens of individual projects.

**Trigger scans on your schedule** — Need fresh data before a client call or a Monday morning report? The scan endpoint lets you kick off Tracker scans programmatically. Pair it with a cron job or automation platform to keep your dashboards current on exactly the schedule you want.

**Same authentication, same keys** — The Tracker API uses the same API keys and Bearer token format as the Copywriter API. Add the `reporter:read` scope to fetch data, and `reporter:run` if you also want to trigger scans. You can add both reporter scopes to an existing key or create a dedicated one — your call.

**Six endpoints, everything you need** — List projects with filtering by client and status. Get a single project's detail with its full SPI breakdown (traditional ranking, AI mentions, AI citations). Fetch per-platform results from any historical run. Pull up to 90 days of SPI trend data for time-series charts. Trigger new scans. And get an aggregate summary across your entire portfolio.

**Looker Studio guide included** — We've published a step-by-step guide in the Help Center showing how to build a Google Apps Script community connector, map API responses to Looker Studio data sources, and design a dashboard layout with SPI scorecards, trend charts, and project tables. It covers caching, rate limit management, and multi-client setups for agencies managing many accounts.

To get started, go to [Settings > API keys](https://app.rankability.com/settings) to create or update a key with reporter scopes. The quick start guide on that page now includes Tracker API examples alongside the Copywriter API. Full endpoint documentation is available in the [Help Center](https://help.rankability.com).

## Tracker v4.0 - Google Analytics integration

**New**

Tracker now connects to Google Analytics 4, bringing on-site behavior and traffic source data into the same dashboard where you track rankings, citations, and search performance.

**GA4 performance dashboard** — See sessions, conversions, and engagement rate over time in an interactive trend chart. Toggle each metric on or off by clicking its tile, just like the GSC card. Switch between daily, weekly, and monthly granularity, compare against the previous period with dashed overlay lines, and add annotations to mark events that may have influenced traffic.

**Organic search vs AI referral traffic** — Your traffic sources are automatically split into two categories: traditional organic search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and others) and AI referral platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and more). Toggle the Organic search and AI referral metrics on the chart to see how each channel is trending independently. The traffic sources breakdown shows session counts and share percentages for every detected source.

**Source filtering** — Filter all GA4 data by specific traffic sources. Want to see only ChatGPT and Perplexity traffic? Use the source filter to isolate exactly the channels you care about. Quick-select buttons let you toggle all organic, all AI referral, or individual sources.

**GA4 annotations** — Mark important dates on the GA4 chart with custom annotations, just like you can on the GSC chart. Add a title, description, and category to track content changes, algorithm updates, technical fixes, or client events.

**Per-keyword GA4 data** — Each keyword in your Tracker now shows GA4 landing page metrics alongside GSC data. See sessions, engagement rate, conversions, and bounce rate for the pages ranking for each keyword, with daily trend charts and the ability to filter by specific landing pages and traffic source type.

**GA4 Explorer** — A dedicated deep-dive page for page-level GA4 analytics. Sort by any metric, search for specific pages, filter by traffic source, and export to CSV. Access it from the link at the bottom of the GA4 performance card.

**Serena enrichment** — Both the portfolio-level and keyword-level Serena now receive GA4 context alongside GSC data. Serena can identify patterns across sessions, engagement, conversions, bounce rates, and traffic source trends to give you more complete strategic recommendations.

**Executive summary** — The Tracker dashboard's top-level summary strip now includes a GA4 sessions tile that expands to show the full GA4 performance card inline, matching the existing SPI and GSC tiles.

To get started, open any client workspace, go to Tracker, and connect Google Analytics 4 from the data integrations card.
