Getting started
Ranken is a next-generation blogging CMS for businesses. It hosts your company blog on a custom domain, a subdomain or a /blog subfolder, builds SEO and AI search readiness into every page and includes an optional agent writer for research and drafts.
A traditional CMS gives you an editor and leaves speed, SEO, indexing and AI search to plugins and developers. Ranken builds them in: structured data, sitemaps, canonical URLs, llms.txt, a live SEO score and one-click indexing, on a hosted blog that lives on your own domain.
Yes, all three. Use a custom domain, a subdomain such as blog.yourcompany.com or a subfolder such as yourcompany.com/blog. A subfolder keeps all the SEO authority your articles earn on your main domain.
Yes, for your blog. WordPress and Ghost are general publishing tools that rely on plugins or manual work for SEO and indexing. Ranken is a blogging CMS with those built in. Many teams keep WordPress for their main site and run the blog on Ranken.
No. Ranken generates the technical setup for you, including the sitemap, canonical URLs, schema markup and meta tags, and explains each SEO suggestion in plain language.
Content and AI search
No. You can write every article yourself in the editor. The agent writer is an optional feature: turn it on to research topics and draft articles for your review, or leave it off.
AI assistants quote pages they can crawl and understand. Ranken serves fast HTML with clean structured data, question-friendly headings and an llms.txt file, which makes each article easier to retrieve and cite. No tool can guarantee a citation.
Plans and results
Indexing can start within days of publishing, while rankings usually build over weeks or months depending on your domain and competition. Ranken tracks index status so you can follow progress from the first article.
Yes. The Free plan costs nothing, needs no card and includes 7 articles a month on a ranken.blog subdomain. Starter ($19 a month) and Pro ($39 a month) add your own domain or /blog, llms.txt, schema and more articles, with a 4-day free trial and no long-term contracts.
Teams that stopped writing every post by hand
What founders and marketers say after moving their blog to Ranken.
Set up in 10 minutes. The AI understood my niche right away and the first draft was ready the same day. Now I mostly review and approve.
Karim A.
SaaS Founder
I was paying an agency for content. With Ranken I get more articles per month, each one SEO-scored before publishing, for a fraction of the cost.

I publish in French and English without extra work. Multi-language was exactly what I needed, and my local traffic finally started moving.
