Content Optimizer

The Content Optimizer takes a page on your own site, reads it, and writes the changes that would make it easier for AI engines to quote: rewritten passages, new sections, a restructured order, an FAQ and schema markup. It does not change your page. You copy the changes you want into your site yourself. Open it from Content Optimizer in the Create section of the sidebar.

Optimize a page#

1. Enter a page address

   Paste the address into the field on the Optimize a page you already publish card. A page on your brand's site gets a check reading On followed by your domain as you type.

   With the field empty, Start from a page suggests pages worth a pass from two lists: AI cites these (your own pages AI already cites, most cited first) and Audited (pages you have run through Page Audit, lowest score first). Press Use to fill the field.

2. Check what Ranqo already knows about it

   Under the field, Ranqo shows how many times AI has cited the page, or that it has not yet, and its latest audit score when it has one. If you have optimized the page before, a notice links to that result.

3. Optimize

   Press Optimize page. The pass takes a little while; the card shows a running clock and what the optimizer is doing (reading the page as an AI engine would, comparing it with the prompts you do not win yet, rewriting the passages engines skip, writing the FAQ and schema). When it finishes, the result opens.

Your own site only#

The optimizer only rewrites pages on your brand's own site. A page counts as yours when its host is your brand's domain, a subdomain of it, or one of the other domains declared for the brand, or when the main part of its domain name (the part before .com or similar) is your brand name, one of its aliases, or the first part of your domain. A host that merely contains your brand name is someone else's site.

A page elsewhere is refused as soon as you type it, with a sentence saying so, and Optimize page stays disabled. A half-typed address is only refused when you press the button.

The page also has to be readable. If Ranqo cannot fetch it, the pass stops with an error and does not use a slot.

What an optimization returns#

Every pass returns the same four things, listed under Every optimization includes:

• Before and after for every change. Each improvement is labelled Rewrite (a passage reworded), Add (new content) or Restructure (content moved or reorganized), names the section it applies to and why, and shows the After text, with the Before text where the change replaces existing wording. Copy copies the new text.
• A generated FAQ: questions about the page's topic, each with a short answer an engine can quote.
• Schema markup: JSON-LD ready to paste into the page head. Copy JSON-LD copies it.
• Only what your page already says: the optimizer does not add facts the page does not contain. Check each change before publishing it anyway.

The result page opens with the page title, its address, a short summary of the pass, the number of improvements and their mix by kind, and whether an FAQ and schema were added. If you have audited the page, its audit scores are part of what the optimizer reads.

Optimization history#

Every pass for the brand appears in Optimization history under the card. Each card draws the page in miniature with the pass's changes marked on it, and shows what kind of page it is, the title and address, the summary, the changes by kind, and whether it added an FAQ and schema.

The icon toggle in the header switches to a table (Page, Improvements, Adds, Optimized). Your choice is remembered in this browser. Click a card or row to open the result. Its menu has Open, Copy URL and Delete…. Deleting removes the improvements, FAQ and schema from Ranqo; the page itself is not touched.

Monthly limit#

Each completed pass uses one optimization from your plan's monthly allowance, including a second pass on the same page: Starter includes 5 a month and Pro 20. The card shows how many you have left, and the history's footer how many you have used. See Plans and limits.

Deleting an optimization does not give the slot back: the month's count is kept in a usage ledger, not read from the results that still exist.
