No editor needed on your side
RankWell is built as a workspace: a rich-text editor, an SEO score, version history, and an editor who approves each article before AIMEE publishes it. Readsgreat delivers the finished article. You approve it with one click, or let it post on autopilot. We post straight to WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Wix, Framer and more, where RankWell's native integrations are WordPress and Contentful. Every article arrives with an original image and alt text, an SEO title, a meta description, structured data and internal links.

Every claim tied to a quote
RankWell keeps your sources beside the article, and its AIMEE assistant reviews them and flags factual claims that need checking. Readsgreat does the checking. Our AI agents read government sites, studies and industry data in full, PDFs included, and match every claim to an exact quote from a real source. Where AIMEE would flag a claim for you, we either find the quote that backs it or cut it. Your own know-how comes in through quick questions by email, and your answers become quotes and tips you approve.

Picture it in your business
For a landscaping company in Charlotte
The owner has no marketing staff, so she chose autopilot. Readsgreat's Strategy for her business covers lawn care by season, drought-tolerant plants for the Carolinas and what a patio costs. Two articles a week go up on her Webflow site, each fact tied to extension-service and industry sources. Her email report shows visitors from Google, the searches she appears for, and which of her articles Google's AI Overviews cite.

Common questions

If you want more, Growth gives up to 20 new articles and 10 updates for $349 a month billed yearly, less than RankWell Growth's $499.
Does BrandWell publish to my site?
RankWell's native integrations are WordPress and Contentful, and an editor on your team approves each article before its AIMEE assistant publishes it. Readsgreat connects to WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Wix, Framer and more, with Shopify coming soon. You can approve each article with one click, or skip that step with autopilot, since the research and fact check are already finished.
Does RankWell track AI citations too?
Yes, every RankWell plan includes Visibility and AI citation monitoring, starting with Essentials at $249 a month. Readsgreat's AI Visibility Tracking comes with Starter at $99: every week it covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, counting mentions of your business and naming the articles each tool cites.
How does RankWell handle pages that slip?
RankWell's content plan flags slipping pages, and your team improves them in its editor. Readsgreat does the improving. When Search Console shows an article losing ground, we update it with newer facts and sources and check every claim again. Starter includes up to 3 of these updates each month, Growth up to 10, with no editor needed on your side.
