2Dashboard

The dashboard is your project cockpit. It is available in two variants — use the toggle button in the top right to switch between them. All data always refers to the active project.

Dashboard V1 (Classic)

The classic Dashboard shows:

  • KPI Bar — Visibility, Performance, Avg. Position, Clicks, Traffic Potential
  • Rankmio Score — Weighted overall score as a donut chart
  • Analysis Overview — Latest analysis with quick badges
  • Keyword Top Movers — Winners and losers of the last 14 days
  • Quick Wins — Keywords near the top 3 with high potential
  • Site Audit — Action items in 3 priority groups (expandable)
  • AI Actions — Summary of AI-generated recommendations
Inline Analysis: You can start a new analysis directly from the dashboard without switching to the analysis page. Click "Start Analysis" in the analysis area.

Action Dashboard

The action-oriented Action Dashboard focuses on concrete measures:

Rankmio Score

Weighted overall score as a donut chart with SEO Score, AI Visibility, and Technical Health.

Top 5 Fixes

The 5 most important prioritized action items with detail panel.

LevelColorCategories
HighRedSEO, SPEED, CWV, KW, CTR, AI Recommendations, GEO
MediumAmberSEO, SPEED, KW, MAP, TXT, COMP, GEO
Long-termBlueSEO, KW, MAP, TXT, AI Recommendations, GEO

Legend: SEO = Search Engine Optimization · SPEED = Page Speed · CWV = Core Web Vitals · KW = Keywords · CTR = Click-Through Rate · MAP = Sitemap · TXT = robots.txt · COMP = Competitors · GEO = AI Visibility · AI Recommendations = AI-generated action items

Each entry has a page context (homepage or subpage) and can be checked off. The page filter allows narrowing todos to a specific page. Export as standard or branded PDF.

URL Picker Modal

The URL Picker is a unified page selection dialog available on many pages (Analysis, Content Optimizer, Answer Simulation, GEO, Competitors). It offers three sources:

Sitemap URLs

All URLs from the latest sitemap crawl of your project. Requires a completed sitemap crawl.

Project Pages

URLs already saved in your project (e.g. from previous analyses or subpage batches).

GSC Pages

5Keyword-Hub

The Keyword Hub is the central keyword cockpit. It combines all keyword functions in 10 tabs with a global page filter (sidebar on the left). Each project can store up to 500 keywords — pagination (50/100/200/500 per page) plus filters and sort make even large lists manageable.

Tab: Research

The Research tab bundles all keyword discovery in three sections:

  • ① My Domain — Discovery Quick (50 KW), Bundle (200 KW + clusters + action plan) and Bundle XL (1,000 KW + 7-day list with auto-saved selection + sweet-spot auto-select Pos 4-30, SV ≥ 10). Costs: see Credit prices.
  • ② Competitor Analysis — Keyword Gap against any competitor domain.
  • ③ Manual Research — Keyword Finder (Google Suggest + DataForSEO + page density) and AI suggestions from page content.

Sidebar Features

  • KPI Bar — Clicks, Impressions, Avg. Position, Keyword Count
  • Page List with search and pagination (20/page)
  • Issue Filter — All / With Issues / OK
  • Issue Count Badges and color-coded type dots per page (Rose = Cannibalization, Amber = Low Hanging Fruit, Orange = CTR Gap, Purple = Mover)
  • Active Page Filter Banner with reset button

Tab: Overview

Shows a page-specific summary when a page filter is active: KPIs of the selected page, associated keywords, detected issues, and recommendations. Without a page filter, you see the overall project KPIs.

Tab: My Keywords

The central keyword management. Keywords enter your project via 4 sources:

Manual Entry

Type a keyword in the input field. Google Suggest autocomplete assists with entry.

GSC Import

Imports the top 20 keywords (by impressions) from Google Search Console with one click. Free.

AI Generation

Select a page in the sidebar — the AI analyzes the page content and suggests matching keywords, questions, and synonyms.

Keyword Finder Adoption

Results from the Keyword Finder (research) can be adopted individually or in bulk.

The keyword table shows per keyword: Source (GSC, AI, Manual, Suggest), Impressions, Position, Trend (delta last 14 days) and — after enrichment — SV (Search Volume), KD (Keyword Difficulty), CPC, and Intent. Filterable by source, trend, and free-text search. All columns sortable.

Keyword Finder (Research)

Performs deep research: Google Suggest, keyword density analysis of the target page, and pro research. Results are saved as research history and can be retrieved at any time (without additional cost). Individual keywords can be adopted directly into the keyword list via "Adopt".

SERP Enrichment (Add SV + KD)

The "Enrich SV + KD" button adds current SERP market data to all saved keywords:

  • SV — Search Volume (monthly Google searches)
  • KD — Keyword Difficulty (0-100)
  • CPC — Cost per Click (Google Ads click price)
  • Intent — Search intent (informational, navigational, commercial, transactional)

Cost: Only uncached keywords are queried. The exact preview button shows costs + cache status before enrichment. Cache is valid for 30 days — repeated enrichment of already cached keywords is free. Full price list: see Credit prices.

Keyword Enrichment: Use the "Enrich SV + KD" button to add search volume, keyword difficulty and CPC data to saved keywords (via DataForSEO, 30-day cache).

Tab: Opportunities

The SEO Opportunity Engine automatically calculates the best optimization opportunities from GSC data: Quick Wins (near top 3), CTR issues, traffic forecasts with confidence intervals, and revenue forecast. Free (included in GSC sync).

Trend Detection: Delta of the last 14 days vs. previous 14 days. Rising/Falling badges show improvements and declines.

Tab: Cannibalization

Detects keywords where multiple own pages compete in Google. Shows affected queries with all ranking URLs and impressions distribution. Free.

Tab: Performance

Shows PageSpeed scores (mobile/desktop), Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), and the project's performance history. Links keyword data with PageSpeed results.

Tab: Pages

Page-to-keyword mapping: Which page ranks for which keywords? Shows all indexed subpages with their assigned keywords, positions, and clicks. Property Filter: Only results for the active project are displayed.

Tab: History

Keyword position history over time as a Chart.js diagram. With the page filter in the sidebar, you can narrow the history to a single page. Shows up to 90 days of history. Free.

Tab: Alerts

Monitors keywords for position changes. Define a threshold and choose above/below. When triggered: Dashboard banner + optional email notification. Free.

1
Select a keyword and a threshold (e.g. position 10).
2
Choose the condition: Below (better than) or Above (worse than).
3
The alert is automatically checked during the next GSC sync. Triggered alerts appear as banners and in the alert history.

Tab: AI Tools

SERP Cluster

Groups keywords by SERP similarity. Keywords sharing the same search results can be covered on one page.

Tab: Action Plan

The Action Plan tab aggregates all SEO issues from 4 sources and uses AI to generate concrete measures per page:

1
Stage 1 (free): Automatic data foundation — collects issues from Low Hanging Fruits, CTR Gaps, Cannibalization, and Ranking Changes. Per page, an expandable issue card with details.
2
Stage 2 (credits): AI generates concrete measures with priorities (Act now, This week, Monitor). Use the scope dropdown to select the number of pages (Top 15 / 30 / 45 / ... / All).

Costs are based on the number of pages (in batches of 15, rounded up). Exact prices: see Credit prices.

Use the page filter (sidebar or dropdown) to narrow results to a single page. Pages without AI measures show a prompt to update. Larger projects (>10 pages) are processed in batches of 10.

Tip: Start with the smallest scope (top 15 pages) and expand as needed. AI measures are saved and displayed on the next visit.

6Competitors

The Competitor Analysis offers a central register of pinned competitors, loadable data packages per competitor, four analysis modes, and an automatic battle schedule. Property Filter: All results refer to the active project.

New since June 2026: Competitor sitemap monitoring has moved to the Sitemap Hub (tab „Monitor") — together with monitoring of your own sitemap. One place for all sitemaps. The pinned-competitor register is the foundation for the Backlinks Hub, the Position Tracker, the AI Visibility Monitor, and the Chat-Agent filters (pinned competitors are automatically excluded as brand filters in keyword recommendations).

Competitor Register (pinned competitors)

The foundation for all other competitor functions. Under Competitors → Register, manage your 1–10 most important competitor domains per project. Pinned competitors are automatically used in other modules (Backlinks, Position Tracker, GEO, Citation Tracker).

1
Add a domain (manually or via Competitor Discovery from SERP and briefing data).
2
Pin with the star icon — only pinned competitors flow into other modules.
3
Optional: Load data package (see below) for rankings, backlinks, historical overview.

Competitor Data Package

For each pinned competitor, you can load a complete data package with one click — rankings + top pages + backlinks summary + historical overview. depending on components.

  • Rankings — up to 1,000 ranking keywords of the competitor (position, search volume, KD, intent, ETV) — the data basis for gap analyses and keyword takeover.
  • Top Pages — which competitor URLs draw the most traffic, sortable.
  • Backlinks Summary — referring domains, anchor distribution, toxic indicators.
  • Historical Overview — how visibility has developed over the past months.
Tip: Data packages are cached. Repeated calls cost no extra credits; refresh button reloads current data on demand.

Quick Compare

Compares up to 5 competitor domains with your site.

1
Go to Competitors and enter up to 5 competitor URLs.
2
Click Start Compare.
3

3
The scheduler runs battles automatically in the background (cron every 30 minutes). Find results in the battle history.

Schedules can be paused or deleted at any time. Credits are deducted with each execution.

Sitemap Monitor (moved)

Note: Competitor sitemap monitoring moved to the Sitemap Hub in June 2026. Own and external (competitor) sitemaps are now monitored together (tab „Monitor" with switcher „Own / External"). Old bookmarks under /competitor-sitemap-monitor redirect via 301.

Competitors in the Chat Agent

Since June 2026 the Chat Agent uses your pinned competitors automatically when it answers keyword questions:

  • Brand filter — keyword recommendations never include the competitors' own brand terms. You only see keywords you can realistically rank for.
  • Topic filter — competitor keywords that are topically off-target for your site (compared to your last 90 days of Google Search Console data) are dropped before the agent sees them.
  • Transparent — when you ask the agent why a keyword was excluded, it can show you exactly which filter removed it (brand match, off-topic, etc.).

14SEO/GEO Chat Agent

The Rankmio Chat Agent is the most powerful AI advisor available in any SEO or GEO tool today. Unlike generic AI chatbots, it has direct access to all your project-specific data and can autonomously run analyses to deliver precise, actionable recommendations.

Key Capabilities

  • Project Context — The agent knows your SEO scores, keywords, rankings, GEO scores, and competitor data. Every response is tailored to your actual situation.
  • RAG Technology — Searches your project knowledge base with vector embeddings for precise, factual answers grounded in your real data.
  • Tool-Calling — Can autonomously run analyses, fetch SERP data, and generate recommendations based on real-time data from your project.
  • Session Memory — Conversation history is saved per project for continuous context. Pick up where you left off at any time.
  • Multi-Model — Uses the most advanced AI language models available to ensure the highest quality advice.
  • Voice Input — Optionally dictate your question via OpenAI Whisper instead of typing.

Diagnostic Mode

Questions like „Why doesn't my page rank?", „Why no clicks?" or „Why is my visibility low?" automatically trigger the diagnostic mode. Instead of dumping data, the agent returns exactly 3 prioritized weak points drawn from 7 analytical axes:

  • Search intent match
  • Topic focus / topic authority
  • Page structure (H1/H2 outline, readability)
  • Citability / E-E-A-T signals
  • Technical SEO (Core Web Vitals, mobile, indexing)
  • Internal linking
  • Competition (who ranks ahead and why)

The phrasing follows an „effect first" rule — e.g. „AI guesses your brand wrong" instead of „missing sameAs in Schema". After the 3 main points, the agent shows a hint about further weak areas. Follow-up questions like „what else?", „more on Schema?" stay within the diagnostic context — you can drill down deeper without losing the thread.

Tip: Use the diagnostic mode when you want a focused next-step recommendation rather than a data report. The agent interprets the numbers first instead of throwing them at you.

Available Features

The Chat Agent can call the following 28 features during a conversation to retrieve live data and perform actions:

Example Prompts

1
"Which of my keywords have the highest potential to reach the top 3?"
2
"Analyze my competitor example.com and tell me where they outperform me."
3
"What should I improve on my homepage to get cited by AI search engines?"
4
"Show me my GSC data for the last 30 days and identify quick wins."
Tip: The more specific your question, the better the Chat Agent can leverage its tools. Instead of "How is my SEO?", try "Which pages lost the most clicks in the last 7 days and why?"

15Content Studio

Full step-by-step walkthrough: See Content Studio Step by Step for the complete tour — 6 entry points, 5 process steps (Library → Brief → Persona → Template → Editor), and the top 10 features no other content tool offers.

Brand Knowledge Base (Library)

Upload brand documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT) or import content from URLs to build your brand knowledge base. All documents are automatically chunked and embedded using pgvector for AI-powered retrieval. The library supports up to 50 documents per project.

Active-for-AI multi-select: Each document has an Active checkbox in the leftmost column of the table. Only documents marked active feed into persona generation, brand keyword extraction, and the content-generation brand context. Inactive documents stay stored and can be re-activated any time. The header shows a counter „X of Y active for AI" plus „Activate all" / „Deactivate all" buttons that flip the entire set in one click. While a document is still being processed (status „pending" or „processing"), the checkbox is disabled — activation is only possible after the embedding completes.

Project Context

In the Library, you can set a Project Context: your own page URL and up to 2 competitor URLs. A URL picker lets you select from all URLs in your project. The context is synced bidirectionally with the Editor and used for keyword extraction and comparison. The context is saved per project and persists across sessions.

Content Briefs

Create AI-generated content briefs based on a topic, target keywords, and optionally a persona. The AI enriches the brief with your brand context from the active library documents. Each brief includes: title suggestions, H2 outline with key points, core messages, E-E-A-T recommendations, tone of voice, and target length.

Templates (Structural Blueprints)

Build reusable structural templates for your articles in a drag-drop editor. 17 element types — TL;DR (Short Answer), Key Statement, Intro, H2 Section, Definition Box, Step-by-Step, Comparison Table, Pro/Con, Recommendation by Profile, Statistic, Interactive Quiz, Pull-Quote, Key Takeaways, CTA, FAQ, Author & Date, Sources — combine via drag-drop into a template. 15 pre-installed default templates (Standard Article, Tool Comparison, Buyer's Guide, Listicle, How-To, Case Study, Tutorial with Quiz, Pillar Page, Study, Product Page, Landing Page, FAQ Page, Thought-Leadership Essay, Definition, News) are clone-able as starting points. In the brief, you pick the template from the gallery — the AI fills every element with topic-specific content in the right format. Templates are the reusable blueprint between brief and content: configured once, used for every sibling article in the same branch. See the dedicated „Templates" section further below for the full deep-dive.

Buyer Personas

Generate AI-powered buyer personas from your active brand documents or create your own. The AI identifies 2-4 personas with description, pain points, goals, preferred channels, and content preferences. You can also create personas manually or edit AI-generated ones.

Behaviour when no documents are active: If your library has documents but none is marked active, a confirm dialog appears before generation: „Create generic personas based on domain and industry topics?" — you consciously decide whether to proceed without brand context.

Persona names never appear in the article: The persona name (e.g. „Marketing Max") is an internal AI label only and is NEVER mentioned in the generated article text. The content addresses the audience generically by role („as a Marketing Manager", „many decision-makers") — so the article reads naturally instead of introducing an unknown character.

Content Generation & Citability

Generate full SEO-optimized articles from your briefs. Each draft receives an automatic Citability Score (0-100) measuring AI citability across 14 criteria. Schema.org JSON-LD (Article + FAQ) is auto-generated and shown as a copyable code block. Export your content as a complete HTML file with meta tags, Schema.org markup, and proper SEO structure.

Wikidata sameAs Enrichment

All Schema.org markup generated by the Content Studio (and the standalone Schema Generator) is automatically enriched with sameAs references to Wikidata and Wikipedia. This is one of the strongest signals available to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews to disambiguate entities — e.g. distinguishing whether „Jaguar" refers to the car, the animal, or the sports team.

The matching happens context-based: Rankmio compares your page content with Wikidata descriptions and selects the most fitting entity. Wikidata lookups are cached for 30 days for performance, and the schema is generated even if the Wikidata API is briefly unavailable (just without sameAs links in that case).

Why this matters: AI search engines rely on knowledge graphs to understand „who" or „what" your page is about. With Wikidata sameAs links, you give them an unambiguous anchor — significantly increasing the chance that your content is correctly attributed and cited in AI answers.

WYSIWYG Editor

The full WYSIWYG editor lets you edit generated drafts or write new content from scratch. Features include auto-save (every 60 seconds), URL import for existing pages, and a live Citability check that scores your content in real-time. The editor opens at 900px height (+50% vs. before) and can be resized further via the drag handle at the bottom.

No phantom drafts: Opening the editor briefly and leaving without entering content does NOT create an empty „Untitled" entry in the drafts list. The draft is created only when you actually do something — type a title (more than 2 characters), write text (more than 5 characters), insert a media element, or explicitly click „Save".

Media Integration (Images & Videos)

Every generated draft automatically receives default image and video placeholders inserted at H2 positions (configurable per brief, default: 1 image + 1 video). You can swap them with one click via the Media tab in the editor sidebar, which offers three sub-tabs:

  • AI image generation — Generate custom images via OpenAI gpt-image-1 or Google Imagen 4 Fast. Free-text prompt, three sizes (1024×1024, 1024×1536, 1536×1024), and optional alt text. Files are stored on Rankmio and served via an authenticated endpoint.
  • Pexels stock photos — Search the Pexels library (free, commercially usable, no attribution required). Toggle «Show photos with people» respects GDPR — by default people-tagged images are hidden, activating the toggle requires explicit consent. Inserted images use the direct Pexels CDN URL, so they work in exported HTML on any host.
  • YouTube videos — Search the YouTube Data API v3. By default only Creative-Commons-licensed videos are shown; with the „All licences" toggle you can also embed regular videos (with a responsibility note for your use case). Inserted videos use the privacy-friendly youtube-nocookie.com embed.

Swap an existing image or video in place: Click the existing image or video in the editor (it gets an orange outline as a visual marker), then switch to the Media tab and click a new search card or generate a new AI image → the marked element is replaced instead of appended at the end. Works with all three sources (AI image, Pexels photo, YouTube embed) and with the auto-inserted default placeholders.

When you save the draft, all inserted media is stored as part of the HTML and exported with the article. Cursor-position inserts and automatic nested-figure flattening keep the markup clean.

Keyword Panel

The sidebar Keyword Panel extracts keywords from three sources: your own page, competitors, and brand documents. Keywords can be selectively enriched with real SERP data — search volume, keyword difficulty, position, and search intent. The panel features sortable column headers (Keyword, Volume, Position, Intent, Occurrences), live occurrence counting in the editor text, keyword stuffing warnings, AI keyword extraction, and the ability to delete or insert keywords with one click. Costs: see Credit prices.

Editor Sidebar — 6 Tabs

The editor sidebar is structured into 6 tabs with notification badges showing pending action items:

  • Keywords — 4 source tabs (Own/Competitor/Brand/Project) × 3 sub-tabs (Rankings/Content/Keyword gaps). Live occurrence counter, GSC enrichment, click-insert. The „Content" sub-tab always extracts keywords from the current editor text (prevents stale cache when switching between drafts).
  • Sources — Top SERP URLs + People-Also-Ask questions (click-insert as H3) + SERP features. URL-Import card is collapsed by default (rare use case).
  • Topic gaps — Research-based content gaps with status traffic-light (red/yellow/green), Insert/AI-Generate/Save-Keyword per gap, progress bar.
  • Compare — Citability-Score bar comparison + Word count comparison (your article vs. competitor average as bars) + Per-criterion comparison: list of citability checks with your own Pass/Fail (green/red dot) + competitor quota (X/Y pass) — red number when majority pass and you don't.
  • Media — AI image (OpenAI gpt-image-1 / Google Imagen 4 Fast), Pexels stock search, YouTube search (CC-license filter), click-to-replace existing media.
  • Brief — Read-only view of the original brief: topic, keywords, persona, template, goal/tone/length, title suggestions, H2 outline with key points, core messages, E-E-A-T recommendations, guardrails. Visible only when the draft has a brief.

Notification badges (small colored numbers in tab corners): Keywords (amber) = keyword-stuffing warnings (density > 3 %); Topic gaps (red) = uncovered gaps; Compare (amber) = competitors with higher citability score; Media (pink) = default placeholders not yet replaced.

Content Generation Progress Bar

When you click „Generate content", a smooth-asymptotic progress bar runs from 0 to 95 % over ~60 seconds with phase labels (Preparing brief → Loading brand context → AI writing article → Schema + Citability check → Final touches). On actual completion signal: jumps to 100 % + „Done — opening editor…" then redirects to the editor.

Citability Hardening & Anti-Hallucination

Multiple server-side guards prevent the AI from delivering hallucinated content during generation:

  • URL Allowlist — Before generation: real URLs are collected from draft research_data + active library docs + brand context. The allowlist is injected into the AI prompt for the references element („only these URLs allowed"). Post-processing strips deep-path hallucinations (e.g. invented „ahrefs.com/blog/..." URLs) to plain text. Homepage URLs (path „/" or empty) of well-known organizations are permitted as fallback if no allowlist data is available.
  • Shop-Link Auto-Wrap — Active library docs are scanned for CSV-style product data (ArticleNr, Name, Category, URL). Product mentions in the body text are automatically wrapped with the corresponding shop URL — also in comparison tables, FAQ answers, and bullet lists. Fuzzy variants: if the AI shortens „Nike Vaporfly 4" to „Nike Vaporfly" or even just „Vaporfly", the matcher still finds it. Existing wrong anchors (e.g. „nike.com" wrapping „Nike Streakfly 2") are corrected to the library shop URL.
  • Statistik-Box Anti-Hallucination — The statistik_box render instruction explicitly prohibits invented numbers: „Only fill if number + source comes from brand context, web research, or library docs. No invented industry statistics."
  • brief_result Staleness Detection — On each content-generate, the system compares brief.updated_at against max(active library_doc.updated_at) + persona.updated_at. If library or persona is newer than the brief, brief_result + brand_context + research_data are invalidated → lazy regen builds a fresh brief with current data. Avoids stale outline when library was updated after the original brief was generated.
  • GEO Quality Prompt — Every generation prompt now includes guidance for citability criteria #9 (factual_claims) and #11 (unique_entities): „Concrete numbers in body text where defensible without invention (counts, time ranges, percent ranges) — branch-typical magnitudes from general knowledge are OK, but no specific statistic citations without sources. At least 5 named entities — concrete tool/platform/framework names instead of generic terms (Google Search Console instead of „the tool", WordPress instead of „the CMS")."

Own API Key

You can add your own OpenAI API key in your profile settings. The key is validated against the OpenAI API when you save it and stored encrypted (AES-256). With your own key active, content generation and the citability full check are free — no credits are deducted. Activate the "Own API key" toggle in the Content Studio drafts page or editor.

Templates (Structural Blueprints)

Templates define the structure of your articles — which elements appear in which order. They are the reusable blueprint between brief and content. Instead of writing each article from scratch with a different shape, you configure ONE template per article type and reuse it for every sibling article in the same branch.

16 structural elements available, organized in categories:

  • Hook & Start: TL;DR (Short Answer 2-3 lines), Key Statement (1 sentence, AI-quotable), Intro (Hook + Problem)
  • Explain: H2 Section (repeatable), Definition Box (Schema.org DefinedTerm), Step-by-Step (Schema.org HowTo)
  • Compare: Comparison Table (Schema.org Table, configurable columns/rows), Pro/Con List, Recommendation by Profile
  • Data: Statistic Box (large number + source, repeatable)
  • Interactive: Quiz (real interactive quiz with radio buttons + score evaluation, self-contained JS)
  • Trust: Pull-Quote (Schema.org Quotation, repeatable)
  • Closing: Key Takeaways (3-5 bullets)
  • Action: CTA Box (repeatable)
  • Q&A: FAQ Block (configurable min/max questions, Schema.org FAQPage)
  • References: Sources List

15 pre-installed default templates, tagged for content goals (traffic / leads / conversion / authority / education / support):

  • Standard Article, How-To / Guide, Tool Comparison, Buyer's Guide, Listicle ("X best …")
  • Case Study, Definition / Glossary Entry, News / Update, Pillar Page, Tutorial with Quiz
  • Study / Data Report, Product Page, Landing Page, FAQ Page, Thought-Leadership Essay

Workflow: open Content Studio → Templates tab. Standard templates are read-only — clone one to get an editable copy in "My Templates". In the editor: drag-drop reorder, toggle elements on/off, set hints per element (topic-specific instructions for the AI), configure FAQ min/max and table dimensions, set default target length + tonality + recommended goals. In the brief form, the template gallery shows recommended templates first based on your selected content goal.

Why this matters for scaling: for Semi-Programmatic SEO (a series of "Tool A vs Tool B", "X best Y" or similar articles), you configure ONE template once. Every sibling article in the branch uses the same template — structurally identical, content-wise fresh. The AI receives the template as a mandatory structural blueprint and fills topic-specific content into each element.

Schema.org per element: when FAQ is in the template, FAQPage schema is auto-generated; HowTo for step-by-step; Quotation for pull-quotes; Table for comparison tables; DefinedTerm for definition boxes. Plus the Wikidata sameAs enrichment for the main entity.

Cost: Templates feature is free. Cloning + editing are free. The brief generation that uses the template costs the normal Content Brief credits.

WordPress publishing (Direct Push)

From every draft in the editor you can push directly to your WordPress site — no copy-paste, no manual HTML upload. Set up the connection once under Profile → Publish: per site you save a label, the WordPress URL (HTTPS mandatory), the WordPress username and an Application Password. The Application Password is generated in your WordPress profile under „Application Passwords" (WP 5.6+) and stored AES-256 encrypted in our database. You can revoke it any time in WordPress without touching your main login.

Multi-site: One account can manage multiple WordPress connections — useful for agencies handling several customer sites. Each connection is independent (own credentials, own test-status).

Publish modal: Click „Publish article" in the editor top bar. After picking the connection the modal asynchronously loads the WP site's categories, tags, post types and detects whether Yoast SEO is active. You then choose:

  • Post type — Post or Page (custom post types are listed too if registered for REST).
  • Categories — Pill-style multi-select with QuickAdd: type a name + Enter → category is created in WordPress and selected.
  • Tags — Same pill-style multi-select with QuickAdd.
  • Featured image — First image in the article is auto-extracted and uploaded to WordPress media library; an optional URL override lets you supply another image.
  • Slug + Excerpt — Both optional, auto-generation falls back to the title / first 240 chars of content.
  • Yoast SEO — If Yoast is detected on the WP site, an extra section appears with SEO title (60 char counter) and meta description (155 char counter) — both stored in the Yoast block.
  • WP status — Save as draft (default, recommended) or publish immediately.
  • When — Now or scheduled for a specific date and time.

Scheduling: Scheduled publications wait in our queue (publish_jobs) until a cron job picks them up (every 2 minutes). On a transient connection error the job retries with exponential backoff (1, 5, 30, 120 min) up to 4 times. You see scheduled and past publications under Profile → Publish with status, scheduled time, and the WP edit URL on success.

Security: HTTPS is mandatory for connections — Application Password would travel in plain text otherwise. Local/private IP ranges (localhost, 10.*, 192.168.*) are rejected. All publish actions are logged to the publish_jobs audit table per user.

No credits: WordPress publishing is free — included for Basis, Pro and Admin plans.

Credits & Limits

First document upload and first URL import per project are free. Pexels stock photo search, YouTube video embeds and WordPress publishing are free. With your own OpenAI API key: content generation and citability full check are free. Maximum 20 active drafts per project (archived drafts do not count). All other Content Studio actions cost credits — exact prices: see Credit prices.

First-party Copilot citations from Bing Webmaster Tools become importable — the first search-platform-native AI-citation source to hit a Rankmio dashboard. Plus a KPI card in the GEO Hub that links straight to the new dashboard.

Bing AI Performance — CSV Import

Bing Webmaster Tools has been shipping the AI Performance report since February 2026 (public preview). It's the first search-platform report that shows first-party AI-citation data: how often Microsoft Copilot and Bing AI summaries cite one of your URLs, which grounding queries Copilot generates internally to find them, and — since the June 2026 update — search intents, topic clusters and a compare feature. Microsoft has not yet published an API for this data, so Rankmio accepts the CSV export from BWT.

Step-by-step: export + import

  1. Open bing.com/webmasters, select your property.
  2. Left sidebar: click „AI Performance".
  3. Choose the period (30 or 90 days works well).
  4. Top right: Export button → CSV.
  5. In Rankmio, open /geo/bing-ai/upload and drop the CSV.

Two supported formats

AI Performance Overview

Time series with columns Date, Citations, Cited Pages. Feeds the 90-day trend chart on the dashboard. Best for tracking momentum.

Cited Queries (Detail)

Detail rows with URL, Query, Citations, Intent, Topic. Feeds the Top URLs / Top Queries / Intents / Topics blocks. Best for content optimisation.

Dashboard elements

Parser behaviour

KPI card in the GEO Hub

The GEO Hub (/geo/hub) shows a Bing Copilot KPI card under the AI Visibility widget with total citations, 7-day delta (green/red) and cited-URL count. Click opens the full dashboard. If no data is uploaded yet, the card renders in an empty state that links to the CSV upload.

16New since June 2026

Major SEO/GEO release with six new modules (Competitor Register, Rankings tab, Competitor Data Package, Backlinks Hub, Bulk-First Position Tracker, AI Visibility Monitor) plus voice dictation in the editor, a 4-bucket sidebar redesign and a public changelog.

Project Competitor Register

A central competitor list per project — auto-populated from your Easy and Deep SEO runs. Pin your top 1–3 rivals — Briefs, the chat agent and competitor data packages all use them automatically.

Rankings Tab in SEO Analysis

Fresh SERP data combined with your GSC data in one table — with multi-sort on position, search volume, clicks, impressions, CTR and diff. Integrated into the existing SEO analysis, no new hub needed.

Competitor Data Package

One click pulls up to 1,000 ranking keywords per competitor domain — with position, search volume and URL. Bulk-First architecture saves ~80% provider cost vs single-keyword lookups.

Detail view

Multi-sort, checkbox selection, direct transfer into your project keywords. Your own position and GSC data appear next to the competitor ranking.

“Comp.” source badge

Project keywords transferred from a competitor data package are marked with a “Wettb.” badge so you always see the origin.

Position handling

Transferring a keyword NEVER copies the competitor’s position — only your own GSC data flows into project keywords.

A dedicated hub for your backlink profile — with health score, anchor distribution, referring domains and toxic check. Six tabs cover the full picture:

Overview

Health Score 0–100 combines toxic ratio, anchor diversity and referring-domain growth.

Backlinks

All backlinks with source URL, anchor, authority and first-seen date.

Anchors

Anchor distribution — exact match, branded, generic, image.

Referring Domains

List of all linking domains with authority and growth trend.

Toxic

Toxic classification via spam score + authority threshold.

Gap

Backlink gap analysis vs pinned competitors — Quick (200 domains/competitor) or Deep (1,000). Spam-/off-market-TLD filter on by default.

Identifies domains that link to your pinned competitors but not to you — the editorial outreach pipeline. Pulls referring_domains per competitor, subtracts your own backlink set and ranks the gap by score:

Position Tracker (Bulk-First)

Tracks your keyword rankings over time. Instead of querying each keyword individually, the tracker uses bulk ranked-keywords calls (up to 1,000 keywords per domain per call) — significantly faster and cheaper. Quick scan, Deep scan

AI Visibility Monitor (Citation Tracker)

A watchlist for your visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AIO and Claude. Per phrase: engine status (red/yellow/green dots), competitor mentions and answer excerpt — directly linked to a brief action.

Two modes: Auto (GSC Top-N) automatically monitors your top-N keywords from Google Search Console — no manual maintenance needed. Custom (Manual) allows own phrases beyond GSC data. Both modes run in parallel and are toggled by tab in the hub.
1
Define your brand identity in project settings (project brand, variants, anti-brands).
2
Pick the mode: Auto for GSC-driven monitoring or Custom for own phrases.
3
The tracker checks each phrase regularly against all enabled engines and collects rates, engine breakdown and trend.
4
AI recommendations from 0% phrases: in the overview tab, an action box generates concrete suggestions (create brief or optimize existing page) for phrases where you are not cited at all.
5
Trend tab shows charts (citation rate over 30 days) plus phrase movement (who won, who lost).

Schema Helper in the Content Studio Editor

Live since 24 June 2026: the editor sidebar shows a Schema card that diagnoses the source URL, detects FAQ drift in your content and offers a one-click FAQPage generator — all without LLM calls.

Data separation: two columns: schema_json holds the source-URL diagnosis (Phase 0b.1), content_schema_json holds your publish-ready JSON-LD (Path B). Generating a schema never overwrites the diagnostic view — both stay independently visible.

Content Studio: Competitor Keywords in Brief

When creating a brief you can pull keywords directly from your pinned competitors into the target keywords — no detour via the Keyword Hub.

Voice Dictation in the Editor

Speak directly into the Content Studio editor via OpenAI Whisper — the transcribed text appears at your cursor position.

1
Click into the editor text so the cursor is active — otherwise the dictation won’t land at the right spot.
2
Click the red microphone icon in the TinyMCE toolbar — your browser will ask for microphone permission.
3
Speak (max. 60 seconds per recording). The price label next to the mic shows in advance whether the next attempt is free or charged.
4
Click the mic again to stop — Whisper transcribes the audio and inserts the text at the cursor.
Pricing model: One free dictation per day, paid dictations after that — exact rate: see Credit prices.

Switch / Detach GSC Property

For projects with a GSC property assigned, two actions are now available directly in the project view:

If the property picker is empty, a “Reload properties” button bypasses the 24-hour cache — useful right after you added a new property in Google Search Console.

Standard Briefs per Project

Every new project automatically gets two read-only standard briefs: “Argumentation essay” (17 elements, dialectic structure) and “Standard expert article”. You can clone them and edit the clone freely — the standards themselves stay untouched as a reference baseline.

Chat Agent now knows all trackers

The chat agent got 9 new tools — it can now read Position-Tracker, Citation-Tracker and Backlinks data directly, without you having to open the respective hub.

Example questions: „Which keywords moved the most in the last 14 days?", „For which phrases am I not cited at all?", „Show me the best backlink gap targets." — the agent pulls the actual project data.
The old tools get_ai_citations, get_citation_trend, get_citation_monitoring and get_top_movers were replaced by the new ones — historical chat threads remain readable.

The sidebar follows your workflow: Analyze → GEO → Optimize → Content Studio → Monitor → Tech. GEO is its own top bucket and groups all GEO tools (Audit, Citability Check, Answer Simulation, Citation Tracker, GEO Battle). Inside each bucket everything is thematically sorted — all previous favourite tools are still there, just grouped more logically.

In the June-2026 cleanup two duplicates were removed from the „Monitor" group: „AI Visibility" (had been just a 301 redirect to the Citation Tracker since the phase-2 merge) and the „Rank Alerts" direct link (the tab inside the Keyword Hub stays). Old bookmarks redirect cleanly via 301.

JSON data export for AI coding agents

In the project header (dashboard and analysis pages) you find the „JSON-Export" button. It opens a modal where you pick which data blocks to include — with record count and estimated file size per block. One click on „Download" costs 2 credits and delivers the file.

Use case: you build your website with an AI coding agent. Instead of translating SEO findings by hand, you hand the agent the full Rankmio export as context. The agent then opens pull requests per finding — FAQ schemas, meta descriptions, internal links, schema drift fixes.

Detailed workflow including a Claude-Code slash command example in the insights piece „Why Claude Code only reaches its full potential with SEO and GEO context".
