1 Is this just a ChatGPT wrapper?
No. ChatGPT generates text when you prompt it - then you're on your own. AutoRank is an autonomous system that researches keywords, analyzes what's ranking, writes content optimized for those gaps, publishes to your CMS, monitors performance in Google Search Console, and rewrites underperforming posts automatically. The writing is one step in a five-stage loop that runs continuously.
2 Will Google penalize my site for using AI content?
Google doesn't penalize AI content because it's AI-generated. They penalize low-quality, unhelpful content regardless of how it was made. AutoRank creates researched, structured posts that answer real search queries with fact verification, proper sourcing, and content matched to search intent.
3 Can I review content before it goes live?
Yes, always. You control when and whether content publishes. AutoRank works in three modes: Draft mode (content goes to CMS as drafts), Scheduled mode (queues for publication on your timeline), and Autonomous mode (publishes automatically). Most users start with drafts, then move to autonomous after seeing posts they're happy with.
4 How do you know what to write about?
AutoRank analyzes your website to understand what you do, then researches keywords where you have realistic ranking potential - not vanity keywords with millions of competitors. We look at search volume, keyword difficulty, your domain authority, and topical relevance to your product.
5 I don't know anything about SEO. Will this still work?
That's the point. AutoRank handles keyword research, on-page optimization, internal linking, and performance monitoring - you don't need to understand any of it. If you want to learn, every post includes an explanation of why we targeted that keyword. But if you just want traffic without becoming an SEO expert, that works too.
6 What happens if a post doesn't rank?
This is where AutoRank differs from every other AI writing tool. We monitor your posts in Google Search Console. If a post isn't ranking after 4-6 weeks, we analyze what's outranking you, identify content gaps, and automatically generate an improved version. The loop continues until the post performs.
7 What CMS platforms do you support?
Currently: WordPress and Ghost with one-click publishing. Coming soon: Git-based workflows for Next.js, Astro, and other static site generators, plus Webflow and Shopify. You can also export content as Markdown or HTML.
8 How is this different from Surfer, Jasper, Frase, etc.?
Those tools help you write content. AutoRank writes content for you - and keeps working after publication. Typical tools cover one step; AutoRank handles keyword research, content writing, publishing, performance tracking, and automatic improvement. It's the entire loop, not just one piece.
9 How much does it cost?
We're finalizing pricing, but the model is simple: you pay based on how much content you generate, not per seat or arbitrary credits. Your first blog post is free - no credit card required. Enter your website URL and see what we produce before deciding anything.
10 How long until I see results?
Honest answer: SEO takes time. New content typically takes 2-8 weeks to get indexed and start ranking. What AutoRank changes is the input side: instead of spending hours researching and writing one post, you spend 2 minutes. The monitoring and improvement loop also means your content gets better over time automatically.
