RankAI is the first SEO/GEO agent that truly works. It handles everything autonomously to drive you millions of visitors from Google & AI Search like ChatGPT. Drop in your website, and RankAI handles the rest: it finds high-intent queries your customers search on Google and ChatGPT, publishes optimized pages, tracks performance, and recreate pages iteratively until they get you visitors.
Boyuan here, founder of RankAI.
My team and I have been heads down building in search for years. What's happening now is that SEO and AI search are wildly overpriced by people claiming they have some proprietary playbook or that they have “cracked” search, and half the time they deliver meaningless results.
What people do not tell you is that search is not deterministic. There is no formula where you do X, Y, and Z and magically rank on Google & ChatGPT. That is just not how it works. After working with 200+ businesses and going through YC, what we learned is that the real way to win is iteration: find the right opportunities, publish, monitor reuslt, double-down on what works, and keep retrying for what didn't work.
So we built RankAI to do exactly that. And it's fully autonomous!
Check us out: https://rankai.ai/
You put in your website, and RankAI will:
- find the queries your customers already search on Google and AI search,
- conduct deep research into each sub-topic related to the query
- create optimized pages to target the query,
- track how each page performs,
- and rewrite them until they start working.
So instead of paying for a slow manual agency, or AI generate SEO slop, you get an engine that does everything iteratively to get you result.
A few outcomes:
An ecommerce skincare brand reached 1.2M search visibility in 3 months.
A consumer tech company grew search visibility 13x in just 2 months.
A B2B equipment company doubled organic traffic in 3 months after years of flatlined growth.
The future of organic growth is transparent and autonomous. RankAI is starting this wave.
Would love blunt feedback — what would make this more useful for you?
@boyuan_deng1 For niche service businesses like "personal branding strategist" or "telecom AI consultant", how does RankAI discover those long-tail queries people actually search? Does it blend Google Suggest + competitor gaps + your site's existing traffic patterns?
@boyuan_deng1 @dayal_punjabi Great question! It’s a mix, let me explain...
We use Google data like GSC, suggest, and related queries, plus competitor gaps and your site’s existing impressions, even if they’re low volume.
Then we expand into adjacent queries based on intent and real use cases, not just keyword variations. That’s especially important for niche services where volume is low but intent is high.
A lot of valuable queries don’t show up clearly in keyword tools, so the goal is mapping the problem space, not just scraping keywords.
Then once pages are live, performance data tells us what’s real and we double down from there.
@dayal_punjabi
Yep! It’s a blend of all. We focus on finding long-tail keywords, competitor gaps, and areas where your site already has some authority, then expand into adjacent queries from there.
Our goal isn’t just to find keywords, but to find ones you actually have a realistic shot at winning and iterating on.

What's your stance on AI-generated content and Google's spam policies? How do you avoid getting penalized???
@haixin_qu
Super important question, and one more people in this space should answer directly.
Google doesn't penalize AI content. It penalizes unhelpful content at scale — which is what most AI SEO tools crank out by templating pages from a keyword list and hitting publish.
RankAI is built around three things that actually matter:
1. Information gain, not rehashing. Most AI content loses because it just recycles what's already on page one of Google. We pull from content silos Google doesn't easily access — LinkedIn, X, code repos, your CRM, internal docs — and surface insights that aren't already in the SERP. If your page doesn't add something new, it doesn't deserve to rank.
2. Intent matching — way more important than people realize. Google wants users to get a direct answer, not a 2000-word detour. A huge amount of "SEO advice" online still optimizes for keyword density and word count, when the real game is: does this page answer the exact question the user typed? We're ruthless about this.
3. Iteration, then more iteration. No first draft is ever good enough. The edge of our agent isn't "publishing content at scale" — every AI tool does that now. The edge is iterating on non-performing content at scale, which no agency and almost no tool actually does. Pages that don't work get rewritten, repositioned, or killed.
Our clients came through past 3 google core update fine while a lot of pure-AI-content sites got wiped. The difference wasn't who typed the words, it was the quality of output.
@haixin_qu
Good answer above, I’d add one thing:
Google doesn’t care if content is AI or not. It cares if users are satisfied.
Most AI content fails because:
it looks good but doesn’t actually answer the question fast
it’s generic, so users bounce
What works:
Give the answer immediately, then expand. Don’t make users dig.
Interesting. How are you measuring real buyer intent vs just driving traffic that doesn’t convert?
@becky_gaskell
This is where most SEO tools stop short.
We don't stop at driving impressions to your key pages. RankAI plugs into your GA4, GSC, and your actual business systems (CRM, revenue data, whatever you use) to close the loop on real conversion, not just traffic.
That means the agent isn't optimizing for impressions or rankings, it's optimizing for pages that actually drive revenue. A page that ranks #1 but brings in tire-kickers gets deprioritized. A page at #8 that converts 10% of its traffic into paying customers gets doubled down on.
Traffic is the vanity metric. Revenue is the one we actually care about.
@becky_gaskell We look at what the user is trying to do based on the query, not just the keyword.
High buyer intent usually shows up as:
“pricing”, “cost”, “quote”
“best”, “top”, “compare”, “vs”
“software”, “tool”, “service”, “agency”
branded searches or “alternatives to X”
These signal someone is close to making a decision.
Lower intent tends to be:
“what is”, “how to”, “guide”
broad informational queries
Those are useful, but usually earlier in the funnel.
So instead of just chasing volume, we prioritize queries where:
the intent is commercial
and the page can naturally lead to a next step (demo, signup, etc.)
Very cool product! Is this optimized for newly launched websites with a clean slate to work with or more established sites already ranking pretty high in SEO search and just need refinement and a GEO boost?
@sandra_jirongo Thanks Sandra. To answer you directly, it's both. But there's trade offs:
1. New sites: the results take longer to show. Unfortunately it just takes time for search engines to know you "exist".
2. Well-established sites: RankAI will optimize the technical aspects of existing pages to optimize for AI searches, and identify new topic opportunities to create pages for both SEO & GEO. Upside is great but not as high as a brand new site that has never been optimized for search.
So @boyuan_deng1 @dyllan_liu2 this effectively reviews my website identifies onsite optimisation/content holes and then generates the optimised content for Google/LLMs?
@boyuan_deng1 @razzelito
That's a good summary for 50% of it. Most of our time in the past two years, working with 200+ businesses, have helped us iterate on the rewrite engine. Which is after knowing that we should target a specific topic for Google NLLM. We create a page, and if it doesn't rank well, we need to recreate the page in a different angle and iterate based on existing feedback from Google and AI engines.
Ultimately, most of the work is on the iteration side. If you look at top search agencies, historically, the most premium ones always focus on iteration, because no one knows a deterministic way of ranking for a certain topic. Everyone is shooting darts. We just figured out how to shoot more darts and how to make each dart more independent of each other.
Keeper - never miss a write off
This is huge! Question on GEO - LLMs like chatgpt like to cite reddit threads in particular, does RankAI help with visibility there?
@david_kang4 Good question! Our self-serve plan currently focuses on other aspects to help you rank in AI search, like:
- Creating content pages targeting long-tail queries
- Adding schemas for AI to digest
- Adding alt tags (since AI is not going to run vision model on every page)
- Structuring content so it's very digestible by LLMs (FAQ, reasonings...)
For our high-touch plan, our team actually comes in and handles your search optimization end-to-end. We also include Reddit as a part of GEO effort.
Hello Aria
Does RankAI work for brand new websites with zero domain authority, or is it better suited for sites that already have some traction?
@sai_tharun_kakirala
Great question, and the honest answer is: yes, RankAI works for brand new sites. We've actually helped a lot of 0-DA sites go from 0 → 1K → 10K → 1M in search visibility.
But there's a catch worth being upfront about: it takes longer on a new domain, and SEO shouldn't be your only channel in the early days. Google needs time to trust a new site regardless of how good your content is, so while RankAI is compounding in the background, you still want paid, social, or community driving traffic in parallel.
Once the flywheel kicks in though, it kicks in hard. That's when the iteration engine really pays off
@sai_tharun_kakirala
For 0-authority sites, we don’t try to compete head-on for big keywords.
1. We start with:
long-tail, specific, lower competition
often tied to real use cases or niche problems
This is how you get your first traction instead of waiting months for a single big keyword.
2. Instead of random posts, we build tight clusters around one area so Google can quickly understand what your site is about.
3. Once a few pages start getting impressions and clicks, we expand into higher-intent and more competitive queries.
