RankForge — Feature Overview (What you can actually do right now)

I’ve been building RankForge around one core idea:

It’s not enough to rank on search engines anymore — your content needs to show up in AI answers too.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s currently available and how each part works.

🔍 1. Page Analysis (SEO + AEO + GEO)

You can add any page URL and get a full breakdown across three dimensions:

  • SEO Score → traditional search optimization

  • AEO Score → how well your content answers questions

  • GEO Score → how well AI systems can understand and reuse your content

This isn’t just scoring — you also get:

  • specific issues

  • categorized by type (SEO / AEO / GEO)

  • actionable fixes you can implement immediately

🧠 2. AI-Oriented Keyword Generation

Instead of generic keywords, RankForge generates:

  • natural language queries

  • long-tail prompts

  • question-based searches

These are the kinds of queries tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity AI actually use.

Each keyword is tied directly to a specific page, so you’re not guessing what content should rank for what.

📊 3. Page-Level Keyword Tracking

You can:

  • attach keywords to a page

  • track how that exact page performs

  • avoid mixing signals across your entire domain

This makes it easier to answer:

“Is this page actually ranking for what it’s supposed to?”

📈 4. Search Engine Ranking Tracker

Track where your pages appear on:

  • Google

  • Bing

  • DuckDuckGo

Includes:

  • keyword position tracking

  • historical data

  • page-specific ranking insights

🤖 5. AI Visibility Tracking (Core Feature)

This is where things get interesting.

RankForge checks:

  • whether your content appears in AI-generated answers

  • how often it’s mentioned

  • which competitors show up instead

This helps answer:

“Why is AI not recommending my content?”

🔗 6. Backlink Analysis + Cleanup

You can:

  • view backlinks pointing to your domain

  • identify potentially harmful links

  • generate a disavow file for cleanup

This is designed to help you improve SEO health without needing multiple tools.

🧾 7. Workspace-Based Structure

Each domain is treated as its own workspace.

Inside a workspace, you can:

  • add pages

  • track performance over time

  • monitor progress across all metrics

📊 8. Dashboard Overview

At a glance, you get:

  • average SEO / AEO / GEO scores

  • total pages tracked

  • keyword distribution

  • visibility trends

⚙️ 9. Built for Iteration

Everything in RankForge is designed to be:

  • measurable

  • repeatable

  • improvable over time

You can re-scan pages and track how your changes impact performance.

💬 What I’m Looking For

If you’re testing this, I’d really like to know:

  • Are the scores actually useful or confusing?

  • Do the suggestions feel actionable?

  • Is anything missing that you expected to see?

More updates coming soon — especially around deeper AI visibility insights and automation.
