On top of reasoning from Rankability's coaching knowledge, it can now teach you the exact step-by-step procedures our team follows — so when you ask how to do something, you get the real playbook, in order, not a vague summary. **Hundreds of real SOPs, taught on demand** — We've given Serena nearly 300 of Rankability's standard operating procedures — the same documented playbooks our strategists work from. Ask how to do something and Serena walks you through that procedure step by step, in the right order, adapted to what you're working on. **Covers the whole job, end to end** — The playbooks span eight areas of the work: technical SEO, local SEO, content, AI answer optimization, reviews and reputation, keyword research, traffic recovery, and conversion rate optimization. So whether you're adding article schema, setting up a Google Business Profile, earning citations in AI answers, or recovering from a traffic drop, there's a proven procedure behind the answer. **It teaches the one right procedure** — Serena finds the single best-matching playbook for what you're trying to do and teaches that one, rather than dumping generic steps on you. If nothing fits well enough, it won't force the wrong procedure — teaching the right thing matters more than always having a checklist. **Personalized and plain-English** — Each procedure is taught in plain language, tailored to the client you're working on and grounded in how Rankability actually approaches the work. Serena explains what to do and why — it's guidance you act on, not changes made to your site behind your back. **Nothing to set up** — This works in every Serena chat, for every client, automatically. Just ask Serena how to tackle your next task. Open [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) for any client and ask it how to do your next piece of work. ## Prospector v2.0 - Out of beta, with far more link opportunities and bulk discovery **New** Prospector is out of beta and bigger than ever. It now finds dozens of distinct link-building and offsite opportunities — organized into clear categories — and you can line up several discovery searches and run them at once instead of one at a time. **Out of beta** — Prospector is now a first-class part of Promote for every client, no flag and no rough-edges warning. The link-building and offsite-opportunity discovery you've been testing is here to stay. **Far more ways to earn links** — Beyond podcasts, local sponsorships, guest posts, and directories, Prospector now hunts local events, scholarships, conferences, schools and clubs, chambers of commerce, trade associations, city and county resource pages, nonprofit resource lists, libraries and community centers, B2B partners, speaking and workshop slots, local news features and "best of" awards, and client, vendor, and case-study testimonials. They're grouped into categories so you can pick exactly the kind of opportunity you want to chase for each client. **Run a whole batch at once** — Open the Batch view and add a row for each search — choose an opportunity type, enter the brand or industry, and optionally a location — then click Run all. Searches run in the background in parallel, with each row showing "Searching…" and then how many targets it found, so you can queue up a dozen searches and walk away instead of starting them one at a time. Open the [Prospector](https://app.rankability.com/prospector) under Promote on any client and pick the opportunities you want to pursue. ## Serena v5.0 - Grounded in Rankability's expert coaching knowledge **New** Serena just got a major intelligence upgrade. It now reasons from Rankability's expert coaching knowledge — the playbook distilled from our coaching calls — so the guidance you get reflects how Rankability's best strategists actually work, not generic SEO advice. **Grounded in the Rankability playbook** — Ask Serena how to handle a keyword, a piece of content, a local listing, or an AI-search problem, and it draws on the expert teaching distilled from our coaching calls before it answers. The result reads like advice from a Rankability coach who already knows how we approach the work — not a generic chatbot. **Leads with what we recommend today** — Serena tells the difference between the approach we stand behind now and older takes we've since refined. It surfaces the most relevant, most durable, most current guidance first, so when our thinking on a tactic has moved on, Serena leads you to where we've landed — not where we started. **Points you to the lesson behind the advice** — When a point comes from a lesson that lives in your Academy, Serena links you straight to it, so you can read the full reasoning, learn the why, and see exactly where the recommendation came from. **Ask how the thinking has changed** — Curious how an approach evolved over time? Ask, and Serena walks you through how the recommendation shifted. The rest of the time it keeps that history out of the way and just gives you the current answer. **Nothing to set up** — This works in every Serena chat, for every client, automatically. There's nothing to switch on — Serena is simply sharper and more on-brand the moment you ask. Open [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) for any client and ask it how to approach your next piece of work. ## Copywriter v5.9 - Generate a whole batch of articles at once **New** Copywriter has a new Generation board for producing many articles in one go — set your shared details once, paste a list of keywords, and they run through the full Copywriter workflow in parallel, several at a time, instead of one after another. **Generate many articles at once** — From the Copywriter, click "Bulk create" to open the Generation board. Paste one keyword per line, add them all at once, and each keyword becomes its own article — so a list of 20 keywords no longer means starting 20 projects by hand. **Set your defaults once** — Enter a client domain, location, and language under Default details and they apply to every keyword in the batch. Need an exception? Override the location or language on any single row. The content type is detected automatically. **Ground every draft in your knowledge base** — A "Use knowledge base" toggle, on by default, grounds every brief and draft in that client's knowledge base, so the whole batch reflects what you've taught Rankability about the client. **Skip the approval step when you want to** — Turn on "Automatically approve brief" and each article continues straight from its brief to the AI draft without waiting for you to click through. Keep the board open until each draft has started, and research and drafting then carry on in the background. **See cost and failures upfront** — Before you run, a headroom banner shows the estimated credit cost against your available balance and warns you when you'd run short. If one article fails, that row is flagged so you can retry it while the rest keep going. Open the [Copywriter](https://app.rankability.com/copywriter) and click Bulk create to generate your first batch. ## Tracker v5.24 - Track your visibility in DeepSeek's AI answers **New** DeepSeek is now an AI answer engine you can track in the Tracker — so you can see whether your brand shows up, and which sources get cited, when people ask DeepSeek. **A new engine alongside the rest** — DeepSeek joins ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Copilot, and Brave AI as a trackable platform. Its answers are web-grounded, so you're measuring what people actually see today rather than a frozen model. **Turn it on per project** — DeepSeek is opt-in. Add it to a project's tracked platforms whenever you want to start measuring it, and leave it off for the clients that don't need it. **Rolls into your SPI and citations** — DeepSeek results feed your Search Performance Index and citation tracking just like every other AI platform, so you can see where you stand and which pages and domains DeepSeek is citing. **Weekly tracking is the sweet spot** — DeepSeek's answers shift gradually, so a weekly cadence keeps you current without paying to re-check answers that haven't changed. Open the [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker), edit a project's platforms, and add DeepSeek to start tracking. ## Auditor v1.17 - Identify target keyword now runs in the background and shows its cost upfront **Improved** Site Auditor's "Identify target keyword" tool — which figures out the primary keyword each page should rank for — got a big reliability and transparency upgrade. It now runs on the server, so you can kick it off across hundreds of pages and walk away. **Start it and leave — it won't lose your progress** — The run now happens in the background instead of in your browser tab, so you can close the report or move to another page and come back later to find it still going (or finished). The button shows live progress like "Identifying 24/120…" so you always know where it's up to. **Stop any time, keep what's done** — A Stop button lets you end a run early, and every keyword already identified is saved — nothing is thrown away. **More accurate keywords, free where we can** — Each page's keyword is now pulled from your Google Search Console data first — which is both more accurate and free — and only falls back to AI for pages with no Search Console signal. When a run finishes, the summary breaks down how many keywords came from Search Console versus AI. **See the cost before you spend** — Before a run starts, a confirmation step shows the credit cost so there are no surprises. Only the pages resolved by AI are charged — anything answered from Search Console is free. **Graceful when credits run low** — If you run out of credits partway through, the run stops cleanly, keeps every keyword it already found, and tells you exactly how many credits were used and that you can add credits to finish the rest. Open [Site Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit), run an audit, select the pages you want, and choose "Identify target keyword". ## Auditor v1.16 - See AI crawler access, schema, page weight, and internal links per page **New** Site Auditor's page table has four new columns that surface technical signals you used to need separate tools for — whether AI answer engines can even reach each page, what structured data it carries, how heavy its HTML is, and how well it's linked from the rest of your site. **See which AI crawlers can reach each page** — A new AI bot access column shows how many of the major AI and search crawlers — CCBot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and Googlebot — are allowed to fetch each URL per its robots.txt, as a simple "5/7 allowed". Click any cell for the per-bot breakdown. When a robots.txt can't be fetched, the page reads "Unknown" rather than assuming access — so a blocked AI engine never hides as "allowed". **Spot your structured data at a glance** — A Schema markup column shows the schema.org structured-data types found on each page (for example LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Product), and reads "None" where a page has no structured data — so you can find the pages that should be marked up but aren't. **Catch pages that are too heavy** — A Page size column shows the size of each page's raw HTML in megabytes. It measures the HTML document only — not images, CSS, or scripts — so you can spot bloated templates and runaway pages. Sort by it to pull the heaviest pages to the top. **Find pages with weak internal linking** — A Linking pages column shows how many unique pages on your own site link to each URL (multiple links from the same page count once). Sort ascending to surface the pages almost nothing links to — the ones that need more internal links to rank. **Sort and export everything** — All four columns are sortable, with pages missing data sinking to the bottom, and they're included in the CSV export so you can work the list in a spreadsheet. Open [Site Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit), run an audit, and scroll the page table to the new columns. ## Auditor v1.15 - Find duplicate content across your site **New** Site Auditor now checks how much of your content is duplicated across your own pages — so you can find the thin, repeated, and near-identical text that holds a site back, and see exactly which pages share it. **A duplicate content score for the whole site** — A summary card shows what share of your analyzable body text is duplicated across the site, and every page gets its own duplicate percentage in the new Duplicate content tab. Each row also shows how many words matched out of how many were analyzed and how many other pages it shares content with, and the columns sort so you can pull the worst offenders to the top. **See exactly what's duplicated** — Click any page to open it with the duplicated passages highlighted in place and the surrounding text faded back, so the repeated wording stands out instead of being buried in a wall of text. **Find which pages share the same text** — Each page lists the other pages it overlaps with and how many words they share, and you can click any one to compare the two pages side by side and decide which to keep, merge, or rewrite. **Export the report** — Download the full duplicate content report to share with your team or work through page by page. Open [Site Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit), run an audit, and select the Duplicate content tab. ## Tracker v5.23 - Bigger Local Grids and wider point spacing **New** The Local Grid can now cover a much larger area. You can scan on a grid of up to 9×9 points and choose how far apart those points sit — so you can map proximity rankings across a whole service area, not just a few blocks around the storefront. **Scan a bigger grid** — Choose a 3×3, 5×5, 7×7, or 9×9 grid when you set up or edit a Local Grid. A larger grid drops more scan points across the map for a finer, wider read on where you rank, and the setup screen shows the point count and credit cost so you know what each size costs before you run it. **Set the distance between points** — Pick how far apart the grid points sit — 1, 2, or 3 km. Widening the spacing stretches the same grid across more ground at the same credit cost, so a 9×9 grid at 3 km spacing covers roughly 15 miles across instead of a few. The setup screen shows the total coverage as you adjust it. **Two independent ways to cover more area** — Grid size and point spacing are separate levers: add more points for more detail (which costs more credits), or widen the spacing to cover more ground at the same cost. Mix them to match each client's service area. **Larger grids finish reliably** — Bigger grids take more work to scan, so they now run in the background in batches and complete without timing out — even the largest 9×9 grids. Open any [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker) project, set up a Local Grid, and pick your grid size and point spacing. ## Serena v4.21 - Choose the approach before Serena acts **New** When Serena drafts something for you to approve — a review reply, a Business Profile description, or a new content project — it now offers a choice of labeled approaches instead of a single take. Pick the one that fits, tweak the wording, then confirm. **A choice of approaches, not one draft** — For supported actions, Serena drafts up to three strategic variants, each with a short label and a note on what it prioritizes — for example a warm, apologetic reply versus a concise, factual one. You pick the approach that matches the situation. **Edit before you confirm** — The variant you choose drops into an editable box, so you can fine-tune the exact wording before anything happens. Only the version you approve is ever used — nothing is sent or saved automatically. **Across review replies, descriptions, and content topics** — The picker now covers Google Business Profile review replies, Business Profile descriptions, and the topic angle for a new content project — so the same quick choose-and-edit step works whether Serena is responding to a customer or setting up your next article. Open [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/brain) for any client and ask it to draft a review reply or set up a content project to see the new picker. ## Tracker v5.22 - Export your rankings and AI citations to a spreadsheet **New** Tracker can now export several reports into a single spreadsheet at once — your traditional search rankings and your AI-answer citations side by side — so you can share results, build your own views, or hand data to a client without copying anything by hand. **Pick the reports, get one workbook** — On your project list, tick the reports you want and click Export to spreadsheet. Tracker pulls them all into a single Excel file, so a whole client's worth of keywords comes down in one download. **Rankings and citations in every tab** — Each tab is split into two sections: Traditional search shows where you and your competitors rank for that keyword, and AI citations shows which sources each AI engine cited. The same picture you see in the app, now in a sheet you can sort and filter. **One tab per keyword** — Projects that track several keywords expand automatically, so each keyword gets its own clearly labeled tab instead of being crammed together. **Ready to share** — The file downloads dated (for example tracker-export-2026-06-18.xlsx), so it's easy to drop into a client folder or a reporting deck. Open the [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker), tick the reports you want, and click Export to spreadsheet. ## Serena v4.20 - Ground a chat on your own files **New** You can now attach a file directly inside a Serena chat, and Serena will read it and ground its answers on what's in it — just for that conversation, without adding anything to the client's knowledge base. **Attach a file to the conversation** — Click Attach in the chat box and pick a file. Serena reads the text and uses it as context for that conversation, so you can ask questions about a document, a data export, or notes without setting anything up first. **Works with the formats you already have** — Plain text, Markdown, CSV and TSV, JSON, HTML, XML, and Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx and .xls) are read and turned into text Serena can reason over. **Scoped to one conversation** — Attached files ground only the chat you're in and are never added to the client's knowledge base, so a one-off document doesn't permanently change how Serena answers everywhere else. **Attach more than one** — Add several files to a conversation, and remove any of them with a click if you change your mind. Open [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/brain) for any client, click Attach in the chat box, and add a file. ## Copywriter v5.8 - Drafts backed by researched facts and cited sources **New** Copywriter now fact-checks every draft after it's written, swapping vague claims for specific, verifiable facts and citing where each one came from — so your articles read as more credible and are easier to stand behind. **Researched facts, not vague claims** — Once a draft exists, Copywriter scans it for generic or hedged statements ("studies show", "a large percentage", "significantly improves"), researches each one across the web, and rewrites it with concrete facts and numbers. **Visible inline citations** — Every researched fact links out to the page it came from, and a "Sources" section is added at the end so you and your readers can verify each claim. **Never fabricated** — It only cites pages it actually found while researching. If it can't verify a claim it leaves your original wording untouched, and your draft is always delivered even when research turns up nothing. **Works in every mode automatically** — Standard, manual, optimize, and quick drafts all get the same treatment with nothing new to switch on. **Pay only when it adds value** — Enrichment uses 300 credits per article and is charged only when it actually adds sourced facts; if your balance is low it's skipped and you still get your draft. Open the [Copywriter](https://app.rankability.com/copywriter) and generate a draft to see sourced facts and citations in action. ## Tracker v5.21 - Track your rankings in Bing search **New** Tracker can now follow how you rank in Bing's organic search results, right alongside Google, the AI engines, and your other platforms — so Microsoft's search audience lives in the same project as everything else you track. **Add Bing to any project** — When you set up or edit a Tracker project, turn on Bing to start tracking where you rank for each keyword in Bing's organic results. It's opt-in, so your existing projects keep working exactly as before until you add it. **Grouped with your other traditional results** — Bing appears under Traditional search next to Google, so for every keyword you can see your standing across both engines at a glance — and spot pages that win on one engine but not the other. **Side by side in Compare** — In the Compare tab you can now measure your AI-answer citations against Bing as the baseline engine, not just Google, so you can see how closely each AI platform's sources line up with Bing's rankings. **Conservative by default** — Bing tracking runs weekly out of the box, which keeps credit use predictable, and the credit estimate in setup updates as you add it. Open any [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker) project, edit its platforms, and turn on Bing. ## API v1.7 - Run full-site audits via the API and MCP **New** The Site Auditor is now available through the API and to AI assistants over MCP, so you can crawl an entire site and pull back per-page technical health programmatically — not just from the app. **Start a full-site crawl** — `POST /api/agent/v1/site-auditor/projects` creates a project and kicks off a crawl of the whole site, then `POST /api/agent/v1/site-auditor/projects/:id/crawl` re-runs it whenever you want fresh data. Crawls run in the background, so you create the project and poll for results. **Stop a crawl mid-run** — Changed your mind or pointed at the wrong site? `POST /api/agent/v1/site-auditor/projects/:id/cancel` aborts an in-progress crawl, and a cancelled run is never charged — you only pay for crawls that finish. **Read the findings** — List your projects, or fetch one to get its pages plus site-wide issues — broken internal and external links, duplicate content, indexability, and canonical clusters — the same findings you see in the in-app Site Auditor. **Know the cost before you crawl** — A credit estimate endpoint previews the cost for a given page count, and crawls are charged on success at 1 credit per 5 pages crawled, so you only pay for what actually completes. **Clean up when you're done** — Finished with a project? `DELETE /api/agent/v1/site-auditor/projects/:id` permanently removes it along with all of its crawled pages and issues, so your project list stays tidy. An in-progress crawl is protected — cancel it first, then delete. **Built in for AI assistants** — Connect over MCP and your assistant can run, cancel, read, and clean up crawls directly with the new `site_audit_run`, `site_audit_cancel`, `site_audit_get`, `site_audit_list`, and `site_audit_delete` tools. Generate or rotate a key in [Settings](https://app.rankability.com/settings) → API Keys, and see the Site Auditor endpoints documented at [docs/agent-api.md](https://help.rankability.com/api/api-site-auditor). ## Tracker v5.20 - Track your rankings in TikTok search **New** Tracker can now follow how your videos rank in TikTok search, right next to Google, the AI engines, and your other platforms — so social video visibility lives in the same project as everything else you track. **Add TikTok to any project** — When you set up or edit a tracker project, turn on TikTok Search to start tracking where your videos appear for each keyword in TikTok's search results. It's opt-in, so your existing projects keep working exactly as before until you add it. **Point it at your handle** — Add your TikTok handle (for example @yourbrand) and Tracker matches your own videos in the results, so you can see exactly where you land for each keyword. The handle is recommended for most projects and required when you're tracking TikTok on its own. **Grouped with your other video rankings** — On the project list, TikTok appears under Video alongside YouTube and Google's video pack — separate from your AI-answer citations — so it's clear at a glance which keywords you rank on versus where you're cited. **Conservative by default** — TikTok tracking runs weekly out of the box, since social search rankings shift gradually, which keeps credit use predictable. The credit estimate in setup updates as you add it. Open any [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker) project, edit its platforms, and turn on TikTok Search. ## Tracker v5.19 - Compare your AI answers and Google rankings side by side **New** Tracker has a new Compare tab that puts your Google rankings and your AI-answer citations next to each other for any tracked keyword — so you can finally see, in one view, who shows up in Google, who gets cited by the AI engines, and who manages both. **One keyword, both worlds** — For any tracked keyword, the Compare tab joins your traditional Google results with the sources the AI engines cite, matched up by domain. Every domain is sorted into one of three groups: ranks on Google and gets cited by AI, cited by AI only, or ranks on Google only. **Rank vs. citation, at a glance** — Each row shows the Google position next to the citation rank on each AI engine — so a source that's "#5 on Google but the #1 source ChatGPT cites" jumps right out. **Focus on the rows that matter** — Filter to Both, Gaps, or Owned: see where you win in both places, surface the mismatches where a domain ranks but isn't cited (or is cited but doesn't rank), or zero in on your own properties. Your own domain is flagged on every row. **See how closely each AI mirrors Google** — A per-engine agreement score shows how much of what each AI cites also ranks on Google, so you can tell which engines lean on classic search and which go their own way. **No extra scans** — It's built entirely from data Tracker already has, so there's nothing new to run and no extra credits to spend. Open any [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker) project and select the Compare tab. ## Serena v4.19 - A standing strategy for every client **New** Every client now has a standing Account strategy you can read and edit in one place — the plan, the goals, and the priorities that guide the work, saved per client so the whole team is working from the same page. **A plan that lives with the client** — Open any client and select Account strategy to write a free-form narrative of the standing plan: the overall direction, context, and priorities. It's saved with the client, so it's there every time you come back, not buried in a doc somewhere. **Quarterly targets** — Capture concrete goals for the quarter, each with an optional metric, target, and timeframe — so "grow organic traffic" becomes a number you can hold the work to. **Engine priorities** — Rank which search and answer engines matter most for this client (for example Google or ChatGPT), so effort goes where the visibility actually counts. **Answer-engine (AEO) targets** — Set explicit goals for how the client should show up inside AI answers, right alongside your traditional search goals. **Prioritized topic & prompt roadmap** — Keep an ordered list of the topics and prompts to pursue next, so the content plan is always one click away. Open any client and select [Account strategy](https://app.rankability.com/strategy) to set the plan. ## Tracker v5.18 - Track AI answers by location **New** AI answers change depending on where the searcher is — so Tracker now lets you track them in more than one place. Add extra locations to a project and Tracker checks how the AI platforms answer in each one. **Add AI answer locations** — When you're tracking a location-sensitive AI platform like ChatGPT, a new AI answer locations section appears in project setup. Add the cities or areas that matter for the client, and each one is checked on its own. **Compare answers across places** — A Location selector on the AI answer and citations views lets you switch between your primary location and each extra location, so you can see how the answer — and who gets cited — changes from one place to the next. **Costs you can see up front** — Each extra location re-runs the location-sensitive AI platforms for that place, and the credit estimate in setup updates as you add locations, so there are no surprises. Open any [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/tracker) project and add an AI answer location to get started. ## Serena v4.18 - A library of AI Search visibility analyses, on demand and on autopilot **New** Each client's Serena can now run a full library of AI Search analyses in one click — how visible your brand is in AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and more, who's being cited instead of you, and how it's all trending — with the most important ones running on their own and alerting you when something shifts. **See your AI visibility at a glance** — AI visibility snapshot reports how often you show up, your average position, your visibility score, and how many checks ran across each AI engine — so you can tell at a glance where you appear in AI answers and where you don't. **Know your share of the answer** — AI share-of-voice shows how much of the AI conversation you own versus the competitors showing up in the same answers, so you can see whether you're the brand AI reaches for or an also-ran. **See who AI is citing** — Citation sources lists the sources AI answers actually pull from, and Citation gaps & opportunities surfaces unlinked brand mentions and open openings to chase — the pages and placements that would get you cited. **Track the trend** — AI visibility trend shows whether your citation visibility is climbing or sliding over the tracked period, so a slow decline doesn't go unnoticed. **Read the room** — Brand sentiment in AI answers flags whether AI answers skew positive, negative, or mixed about your brand, so you can catch a reputation problem forming in the answers people now read first. **Proactive alerts that clear themselves** — The key analyses also run automatically on a schedule and surface alongside your other monitoring alerts, labelled Critical, Warning, or Info. When the underlying issue resolves, the alert clears itself — so the list always reflects what's true right now. Open any client's [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) and open the Skills library to run one. (AI Search analyses use your Tracker AI-platform data.) ## Serena v4.17 - A library of Google Business Profile analyses, on demand and on autopilot **New** Each client's Serena can now run a full library of Google Business Profile analyses in one click — covering reviews, local search visibility, customer actions, and profile health — with the most important ones running on their own and alerting you when something needs attention. **Reply to reviews without leaving Rankability** — AI review responder drafts warm, professional replies to the reviews that don't have an owner response yet. Review and edit each draft, then confirm to post it straight to Google Business Profile — nothing is ever sent automatically. **Stay on top of every review** — Negative review triage ranks unanswered negative reviews by urgency so you know exactly what to respond to next; Review reply coverage tracks your owner-reply rate, the unanswered backlog, and your median time to reply; and Review velocity & rating trend shows whether new reviews are speeding up or slowing down and whether your average rating is climbing or sliding. **Hear what customers actually say** — Review keyword miner pulls out the themes customers mention most, tagged positive, negative, or mixed by the rating of the reviews each one shows up in — so you can spot, for example, that "wait time" keeps coming up in your low-star reviews. **See how people find the profile** — Search keyword trend shows the real terms customers used to find the profile and how each one's impressions moved versus the prior period; Branded vs discovery search splits those terms into branded (your business name) versus discovery (category and service searches that win net-new customers), with each side's share. **Track impressions and customer actions** — Action conversion tracker follows website clicks, calls, and direction requests with period-over-period deltas and an impression-to-action conversion rate; Pack vs Maps split breaks impressions down by where they happen — Google Search (the local pack) versus Maps — and by device. **Score the profile and catch problems early** — GBP completeness audit scores how complete and competitive the profile is — categories, hours, photos, description, attributes and more — and lists the highest-impact fixes. Performance anomaly alerter scans for sharp drops in impressions or actions, a low average rating, or a spike in negative reviews, and runs automatically on a schedule alongside your other monitoring alerts — clearing itself once the issue resolves. Open any client's [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) and open the Skills library to run one. (Business Profile analyses need a connected Google Business Profile.) ## Serena v4.16 - See how much traffic AI assistants are sending you **New** Each client's Serena can now show you exactly how much traffic AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are sending — and which of your pages they're citing — with a new library of Google Analytics analyses you can run in one click. **See how much AI traffic you're getting** — AI referral detection breaks down the sessions ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot are sending you, with each platform's share of your total traffic. **Find the pages AI assistants are citing** — AI-cited landing pages shows which of your pages are getting AI-assistant traffic, with a per-platform breakdown so you know what content the assistants are pointing people to. **Compare AI visitors to organic search** — AI vs organic behavior puts engagement rate, time on site, conversion rate, and revenue per session side by side, so you can see whether AI traffic actually converts as well as your organic search traffic. **Track the trend over time** — AI traffic trendline charts your AI share of total sessions across the last 12 weeks or 12 months, with period-over-period growth, a moving average, and the top platforms driving the change. **Make sure your analytics is measuring it right** — Channel group auditor checks whether your Google Analytics setup attributes AI traffic correctly, and hands you the exact configuration to paste in if it doesn't. The Skills library now groups analyses by source — Search Console and GA4 / AI traffic — and unlocks as soon as either one is connected. Open any client's [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) and open the Skills library to run one. (AI-traffic analyses need a connected Google Analytics.) ## How-to - Turn SERP results and AI citation sources into earned visibility opportunities **Announcement** A tip from Nathan: you can use Rankability to extract traditional SERP results and AI citation sources for a topic, then turn them into earned visibility opportunities for your brand. **Start with one campaign topic** — Pick a single topic you're actively campaigning around rather than trying to boil the ocean. **Find where it's already showing up** — Pull the websites, directories, communities, and influencers that are already appearing across both traditional search results and AI citation sources for that topic. **Turn visibility into outreach** — Once you have that list, the goal is straightforward: work to get your brand mentioned on the same sites, directories, communities, and influencers that are already earning visibility for the topic. This pairs well with the Prospector's link and citation opportunity tools — open [Prospector](https://app.rankability.com/promoter) for a client and start from a topic you're already targeting. ## Serena v4.15 - A library of Search Console analyses, on demand and on autopilot **New** Each client's Serena can now run a whole library of Google Search Console analyses on demand — and the most important ones run on their own in the background and alert you when something needs your attention. **A library of Search Console analyses** — Open a client's Serena, find the Skills library, and run any analysis in one click: period-over-period comparison, top movers, striking-distance keywords, branded vs non-branded performance, click-through-rate opportunities, keyword cannibalization, newly discovered queries, sitemap health, and mobile-vs-desktop gaps. **Answers you can act on** — Each analysis comes back as a short summary plus a clear table, and where it makes sense it suggests a next step you can take right there — add keywords to tracking, start a content project, or audit a competing page. **Proactive alerts that clear themselves** — The key analyses also run automatically on a schedule and surface alongside your other monitoring alerts, labelled Critical, Warning, or Info. When the underlying issue resolves, the alert clears itself — so the list always reflects what's true right now. **Suggested brand terms when setting up a client** — Setting a client's brand terms is now one click: Rankability suggests likely terms from the brand name, domain, and the client's own branded Search Console searches, so you can Add all at once instead of typing each by hand — find it in a client's [settings](https://app.rankability.com/client-settings). Open any client's [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) and open the Skills library to run one. (Search Console analyses need a connected Google Search Console.) ## Auditor v1.14 - Bing search performance in Site Auditor **New** Site Auditor now brings your Bing Webmaster Tools search data into the crawl, so you can see how each page performs on Bing right next to its Google numbers, technical health, and traffic. **Bing next to Google, page by page** — Each page row can show its Bing impressions, clicks, CTR, and average position alongside your existing Search Console columns — so it's easy to spot pages that earn visibility on one engine but not the other. **A Bing search performance summary** — A summary card shows your site's total Bing clicks and impressions, average CTR and position, and your top Bing queries — pulled from the Bing Webmaster Tools site you've connected for that client. **Sortable, exportable, and honest about gaps** — The new Bing columns sort like every other column and are included in the CSV export. Pages with no Bing data show a dash instead of a zero, so you're never misled. Connect Bing Webmaster Tools in a client's settings, then open [Site Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit) and check the Pages tab. ## Tracker v5.17 - More accurate AI answers across every platform **Improved** The AI answers Tracker shows for ChatGPT and the other AI platforms are now significantly more accurate — much closer to what a real person actually sees when they ask. So the visibility you track, and the citations and mentions tied to it, reflect reality. **True-to-life answers** — ChatGPT answers now read like a genuine, considered response a real user would get, instead of a shallow, citation-stuffed roundup. What you see in the AI answers tab mirrors the experience your clients' customers are actually having. **Understands what you're tracking** — Answers now correctly interpret your keyword instead of guessing at it. For example, "AEO" is understood as "Answer Engine Optimization" rather than some invented expansion — so the answer is genuinely about the topic you care about. **The same upgrade across Gemini, Grok, and Claude** — The same accuracy improvements apply to the other AI platforms too, so your brand's mentions and citations are judged against realistic, true-to-life answers no matter which platform you're tracking. **Steadier, more reliable tracking** — Your brand's citations and mentions are now captured more consistently from one scan to the next — fewer empty runs and steadier trends you can trust. Open any project in the [Tracker](https://app.rankability.com/track/rank) and check the AI answers tab on your next scan. ## Prospector v1.1 - Find directories worth getting your clients listed in **New** Prospector can now hunt down the directories and listing sites worth getting each client listed in — matched to their vertical and location — so building citations and offsite authority no longer means digging through Google yourself. **A new Directories opportunity type** — Alongside podcast interviews, sponsorships, and guest posts, Prospector now discovers business directories and listing sites for a client. Pick Directories, enter the niche, and add an optional location to pull in local and regional listings. **Curated catalog first, then the web** — It matches a curated catalog of high-authority directories first, then prospects the web to fill any gaps — so you get both the obvious heavyweights and the niche listings that are easy to miss. **Prioritized for impact** — Results are organized so you can focus on the listings most likely to move the needle, and you can save the ones worth pursuing straight into a prospect list to track alongside your other outreach. Open any client's [Prospector](https://app.rankability.com/prospector) under Promote and choose Directories to start. (Prospector is in beta — expect a few rough edges.) ## Auditor v1.13 - Core Web Vitals in Site Auditor **New** Site Auditor now pulls Core Web Vitals into your crawl, so you can see how fast each page actually loads and feels — right next to its technical health, traffic, and conversions. **Four new performance columns** — Each page row can show its Performance score, LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), and FCP (First Contentful Paint), color-coded good, needs improvement, or poor against Google's thresholds — sortable like every other column and included in the CSV export. **Fetch on demand** — Pull vitals for the pages you care about without slowing down the whole crawl, so you get speed numbers exactly where you need them. **Spot the slow pages fast** — With load metrics sitting beside crawl health and real traffic data, it's obvious which high-traffic pages are dragging and worth a performance pass. Open any client's [Site Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit) and check the Pages tab. ## API v1.6 - Choose research platforms for Copywriter jobs **New** The Copywriter API now lets you choose exactly which research platforms power a draft — so you can control both research depth and credit cost on every request. **A new `research_platforms` parameter** — `POST /api/agent/v1/copywriter/jobs` now accepts an array of the SERP and AI sources you want the run to use. Google Organic stays on as the baseline, and the Copywriter only researches the platforms you list — skip the ones you don't need for leaner, faster jobs. **Pay only for what you use** — Credit cost now scales with the platforms you select, and the up-front credit check reflects your choice before the job starts, so trimming the list trims the cost of each run. **Matches the in-app picker** — These are the same research platforms you can toggle when creating a Copywriter project in the app, so jobs created through the API and the UI behave consistently. Generate or rotate a key in [Settings](https://app.rankability.com/settings) → API Keys, and see `research_platforms` documented at [docs/agent-api.md](https://help.rankability.com/api/api-site-auditor). ## Copywriter v5.7 - A clearer content score **Improved** The Copywriter's Optimize view now makes your content score easier to read at a glance — and tells you what it actually means. **A clearer score ring** — The optimization score now uses the same bold ring as your Tracker dashboard, labelled "Content score," with an at-a-glance status beneath it — Well optimized, Getting there, or Needs major work — so you don't have to interpret a number or rely on color alone. **Word count that guides you** — Your word count now flags when you're over or under the target range, so you know whether to trim or expand without guessing. **Smoother recovery in manual mode** — If a manual project's setup doesn't finish, you now get a clear "Retry entity extraction" path that picks up where it left off instead of a generic error. Open any [Copywriter](https://app.rankability.com/copywriter) project and switch to Optimize to see it. ## Serena v4.14 - Dismiss or snooze competitor alerts **Improved** You can now keep your competitor alerts tidy. On a client's Competitor alerts page, dismiss an alert once you've handled it, or snooze it for 7, 30, or 90 days — so the list only shows what still needs your attention. Open any client, find Watch in the sidebar, and use the controls on any alert. ## Serena v4.13 - See how each client's reviews stack up locally **New** Rankability now tracks each client's review reputation and shows how it stacks up against local competitors — so you can spot a rising rival or a wave of negative reviews before it costs your client business. **A new Reviews page per client** — See your client's review gap versus local competitors (how many more reviews it would take to match the local median or the top competitor), a side-by-side table of those competitors, and the themes customers actually talk about — services, outcomes, and locations — pulled from real review text. **Reputation alerts** — When a client picks up urgent negative reviews or starts falling behind competitors on review velocity, it surfaces as an alert with a suggested next step, right alongside your other monitoring signals. **Updates on its own** — Reputation data refreshes automatically on a daily cycle for clients with a connected Google Business Profile. Open any client and find Reviews in the sidebar. ## Serena v4.12 - Choose exactly which competitor pages to watch **New** You can now control exactly which competitor pages Rankability watches — and see what it costs before you commit. **Add, pause, or remove pages** — In a client's settings, add any competitor page URL, choose how often it's checked (weekly or daily), pause the ones you don't need right now, and remove them entirely. Pages Rankability found for you are listed alongside any you add yourself. **See the credit cost as you go** — A live estimate shows roughly how many credits per month your tracked pages will use, updating instantly as you add pages or change how often they're checked — so there are no surprises. Open a client's [settings](https://app.rankability.com/client-settings) and find the Alerts tab to manage competitor monitoring. ## Auditor v1.12 - Referring domains for every page **Improved** Site Auditor now shows how many referring domains point to each page, right in the pages table. **A new sortable column** — The Pages tab now includes a Referring Domains count next to your Search Console and Analytics metrics, so you can sort to find which pages have earned the most link authority — and which pages are missing it. The count is included in the CSV export too. Open [Site Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit) and check the Pages tab. ## Serena v4.11 - Choose what Rankability watches for each client **New** You can now tell Rankability exactly which signals to watch for each client — so a local business, an AI-visibility play, and a full-service account each get monitoring tuned to their campaign instead of a one-size-fits-all setup. **Campaign presets to start fast** — Pick a preset like AI search, SEO campaign, Local SEO, Growth, or Full campaign intelligence and Rankability switches on the capabilities that matter for that kind of work. New clients even get a recommended preset based on the integrations they already have connected. **Fine-tune any signal** — Toggle individual capabilities on or off — AI search visibility, Google search visibility, keyword rank tracking, brand consistency, technical site health, local presence, and backlink authority — and the client moves to a custom setup the moment you do. **Knows what's connected** — Capabilities that need an integration like Google Search Console or Google Business Profile are clearly flagged until you connect it, so you always know why a signal isn't being collected yet. Open any client's [settings](https://app.rankability.com/client-settings) and find the Monitoring tab to set it up. ## Serena v4.10 - Know when a competitor's page changes **New** Rankability now watches your competitors' pages in the background and tells you when one meaningfully changes — so you find out a rival rewrote their service page or shipped new content while it still matters, not months later. **A new Watch view per client** — Every client now has a Competitor alerts page that lists detected changes, prioritized by how much they overlap with the keywords you care about, each with a plain-language summary of what changed and a suggested next step. Until something changes, it shows "No competitor changes yet." **Focused on changes worth acting on** — It surfaces substantive content changes rather than every trivial tweak, so the list stays worth checking. Open any client and find Watch in the sidebar to see their competitor alerts. ## Page Auditor v1.3 - AI crawler & corpus readiness **New** Page Auditor now checks whether AI crawlers can actually reach and read your page — the groundwork for being quoted in AI answers, not just ranked in search. **A new AI Crawler & Corpus Readiness category** — Every audit now grades how accessible your content is to AI crawlers: whether your robots.txt lets them in, whether the page can be fetched, and whether your real content is present in the raw HTML rather than hidden behind JavaScript a crawler may never run. **Common Crawl presence** — The audit checks whether your URL appears in the Common Crawl corpus — the open web archive many AI models are trained and grounded on — so you can see whether your page is even in the dataset. **Plain-language fixes** — Each check comes with a clear recommendation, so when something blocks AI access you know exactly what to change. Open any client's [Page Auditor](https://app.rankability.com/audit/page) and run a fresh audit to see the new category. ## Serena v4.9 - A weekly campaign brief for every client **New** Rankability now writes a weekly intelligence brief for each client that has activity to report — a single synthesis of what changed across their search, AI, local, and site health, ranked by what matters most, so your weekly client check-in is already done for you. **One brief, every signal** — The brief opens as a side panel with an executive summary, the biggest win and biggest risk of the week, and themed sections broken down by channel. Each section shows how many signals it found, or labels itself "No signal yet" when there's nothing to report. **Prioritized actions with evidence** — A ranked action list tells you what to do first, with the reasoning and rough effort for each, plus a "View evidence" link that drills into the exact numbers behind it (for example, organic sessions 1,200 → 940). **A client-ready summary you can paste** — Every brief includes a plain-language summary written for your client, with one-click copy and a download, so you can drop it straight into an email or report. **Fresh every week, or on demand** — Each week, clients with new signals get a fresh brief automatically, and you can open any client and hit Refresh to generate one on demand. Open any client's [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) and click Weekly brief to read this week's. ## Serena v4.8 - Automatic alerts when traffic, conversions, or content shift **New** Your client dashboard now surfaces monitoring alerts automatically — Rankability watches each client in the background and flags meaningful changes across search, AI, local, and site health, so problems find you instead of you hunting for them. **Catches drops you'd otherwise miss** — Alerts fire for things like organic traffic and conversion drops, lost conversion tracking, pages whose traffic has collapsed, and content that's decaying — each with a plain-language explanation and a suggested next step. **Ranked by severity** — Every alert is labeled Critical, Warning, or Info so you can triage at a glance and deal with the urgent ones first. **Dismiss or snooze the noise** — Handled an alert? Dismiss it. Not now? Snooze it for 7, 30, or 90 days and it stays quiet until then, so the list only ever shows what still needs you. Open any client's [dashboard](https://app.rankability.com/dashboard) to see their monitoring alerts. ## Serena v4.7 - Compare pages side by side **New** Building on reading a single live page, Serena can now fetch up to four pages at once and lay them out in a structured, visual side-by-side comparison — perfect for "my page vs. their pages" gap analysis without copy-pasting anything. **Up to four pages, one teardown** — Give Serena two to four URLs — say your service page and your top competitors' — and it reads them all and compares them directly: the topics each one covers, how their headings and structure differ, the word-count gap, and the topics present on some pages but missing from others. **A visual comparison card** — Alongside the written analysis you get a side-by-side card with a column per page showing its title, word count, and headings, plus badges that call out the headings one page covers that the others don't — so the gaps jump out at a glance. **Grounded in the real pages** — It bases every claim on the actual fetched content, and if a page can't be loaded it tells you instead of guessing. You'll see a "Fetching" chip turn to "Analyzed" for each page, so you always know exactly what it compared. Open the [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) and ask it to compare pages. ## Auditor v1.11 - Weekly traffic sparklines on every page **Improved** Site Auditor's traffic trend column now shows a small weekly sparkline for each page, so you can see the shape of a page's traffic over recent weeks at a glance — not just whether it's up or down. **Spot the trajectory, not just the number** — Alongside the period-over-period change, each page now draws a mini line chart of its recent weekly sessions, making steady decay, a sudden drop, or a recovery obvious without opening Analytics. Pages need a little Google Analytics history before a sparkline appears; until then the traffic trend column works exactly as before. Connect Google Analytics and open any client's [Audit](https://app.rankability.com/audit) section to see it. ## Auditor v1.10 - Google Analytics traffic, conversions, and revenue in Site Auditor **Improved** Site Auditor now layers Google Analytics onto your crawl, so you can see how each page actually performs — traffic, engagement, conversions, and revenue — right next to its technical health. **Per-page Analytics metrics** — Each page row can now show sessions, entrances, engagement rate, average engagement time, conversions, conversion rate, conversion value, total and new users, and pageviews from Google Analytics — sortable like every other column, and included in the CSV export. **Spot traffic trends at a glance** — A traffic trend column compares each page's sessions to the previous period and shows the change in green when it's up and red when it's down, so decay and momentum jump out. **Decide prune, upgrade, or keep** — With real traffic and conversion data sitting next to crawl health, you can tell which thin or low-health pages still earn their keep and which are dead weight. **Connect once per client** — When you start a new audit, Site Auditor tells you whether Google Analytics is connected. If it isn't, the audit still runs and the analytics columns are simply left empty until you connect it in client settings. Connect Google Analytics and open any client's [Audit](https://app.rankability.com/audit) section to run Site Auditor. ## Serena v4.6 - Paste a URL and Serena reads the live page **New** Serena can now fetch and read a live web page you point it at — so you can paste a link and get an on-page review, a competitor teardown, or a content-gap analysis grounded in the page's real content instead of a guess. **Paste a link, get real analysis** — Drop a URL into Serena on your dashboard or any client and ask it to review, analyze, or compare. It pulls the live page, reads the actual content, and bases its answer on what's really there. For example, paste a competitor's service page and ask "what are they covering that my client isn't?" **Built for SEO and AEO work** — Use it for on-page SEO and AEO reviews, competitor page teardowns, and content-gap analysis against a specific page — all without leaving the chat. **See what it looked at** — While Serena is fetching, a "Fetching" chip turns into "Analyzed" once the page is in, so you always know exactly which page the answer is based on. **One page at a time, handled safely** — It reads a single page (it won't crawl an entire site), and pages that block automated visitors — login-walled or anti-bot sites — are reported clearly rather than guessed at. Open the [Serena](https://app.rankability.com/clients) on your dashboard or any client, paste a URL, and ask it to take a look. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
