rankly

The changes your site needs in Google, Bing and AI answers, written out for you or your AI agent.

Rankly sees each change go live, then measures what it did: against similar pages left alone where it can, before and after where it can’t.

What Rankly readsPrivacy

Two changes on a site we run: one for Google, one for AI answers.

What to add, and whereAn instruction, not exact text

Say what EximAgent is in the first sentence under the main heading, in one plain sentence a reader could quote on its own, then what the site’s own data shows about it.

In the site’s own words, not the Overview’s. No figure the site’s own facts don’t back.

From found to measured.

  1. Step 1

    Finds what holds the site back

    Reads Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, then every page.

  2. Step 2

    Writes out each change

    For Google and Bing the exact text; for AI answers what to add and where.

  3. Step 3

    Sees it live

    The clock starts the day Rankly finds it on the live page.

  4. Step 4

    Measures what it did

    At 28 days, 90 days and a year.

Your AI agent gets the exact change.

The old text and the new, where it goes and when it is done.

Another change on theagentsindex.com: a page title for GoogleChange #151
On theagentsindex.com/ztabs-llc/alternatives, change the <title> and <meta name="description"> in the page head.

- <title>: ZTABS alternatives: 9 compared on price, free tier, API
+ <title>: ZTABS Alternatives: 9 AI Agent Builders by Price
- <meta name="description">: 9 ZTABS alternatives, led by Azumo, LeewayHertz and ITECS AI. None of the 9 has a free plan.
+ <meta name="description">: LeewayHertz, Master of Code Global, ITECS AI and 6 more AI build partners next to ZTABS: each one's price, read on its own site. None has a free plan.

How a reading closes.

First readings 5 Dec. Readings taken while Google’s November update was running are marked, not judged; the first judged readings are due in February 2027.

  1. Worked

    The changed page gained 10% or more on similar pages left alone, beyond their normal spread.

    Kept, and read again later.

  2. No effect

    Within the normal spread of the pages left alone, or a real change smaller than 10%.

    Left as it is, and read again later.

  3. Hurt

    The changed page lost 10% or more against the pages left alone, beyond their normal spread.

    Rankly hands over the old text to put back.

  4. Can't tell yet

    Under 30 of what it measures (clicks, times shown or pages indexed) across both windows, or fewer than 5 pages left alone.

    Its before and after are shown, with no verdict.

Google Search Console, read-only, and a Bing Webmaster Tools key. Rankly reads your public pages and the AI answers itself.

Who is it for?
Anyone who runs a site and can change it, by hand or with an AI coding agent.
When do I see results?
Each change gets its first reading 28 days after Rankly sees it live, then at 90 days and a year.
