Why Readsgreat

Why owners pick Readsgreat over Outrank.

1
Every fact checked, on every plan
At Outrank, professional editors who review and fact-check every article come with the Human Curated Service, a $1,399-a-month add-on. At Readsgreat, fact-checking is part of every plan. Our AI agents find the government pages, research and industry figures on each topic and read every one in full, PDFs included. No editor add-on is needed: each claim must match an exact quote from a real source, or it comes out. Starter costs $129 month to month, or $99 billed yearly.

2
Your know-how in every article
Outrank can match your writing style from articles you've already published. Readsgreat also builds in what only you know. A few quick questions arrive by email, as often as suits you, and what you say turns into quotes and tips in the articles. You approve how they're used. A plumber's advice on when a slow drain means a bigger problem is the kind of detail customers trust. Pick a voice that fits, Standard, Formal or Conversational, and the facts never change.

See where AI tools mention you
Outrank's site talks about getting recommended by ChatGPT and shares customer stories. Readsgreat measures it for your own business. Each week, AI Visibility Tracking counts your mentions in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, and names the articles they cite. It sits in your progress report next to visitors from Google, searches you show up for and articles climbing. Articles are built for quoting, too: a direct answer first, then sourced specifics.

Picture it in your business

For a plumbing company in Columbus

Each week the owner opens an email with the next articles to approve: tankless water heater costs in Columbus, signs of a slab leak, and what a sewer camera inspection shows. He adds a tip from a quick question and approves. Readsgreat posts them to his Webflow site with original images. A post on frozen pipes that ranked well last winter has slipped, so we update it with fresh facts. His progress report shows where Google's AI Overviews mention him.

Common questions

Readsgreat or Outrank?

Why pay more than Outrank?

Outrank's $99 buys 30 articles a month. Readsgreat's $129 month to month, or $99 billed yearly, buys up to 8 articles built on deep research, with every claim matched to an exact quote from a real source, plus your own know-how, up to 4 updates to older posts and weekly AI Visibility Tracking across five AI tools. Outrank's own human fact-checking is a $1,399-a-month add-on.

Can Outrank update my older posts?

Yes. Outrank's Improvements use Search Console data, up to 2 a week, separate from its 30 articles. Readsgreat updates also start from Search Console, and each one gets the care a new article gets: fresh research, new sources and every claim matched to a quote. Starter includes up to 4 a month and Growth up to 20, and edits you made by hand stay put.

Outrank talks about ChatGPT. Will I see my own results?

Outrank's site sets the goal of getting you recommended by ChatGPT and shares customer citation stories. Readsgreat reports on your own business. Every week we check ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, and your progress report lists how often each names you and which of your articles it cites.

Does Outrank post automatically, and can Readsgreat?

Outrank writes and auto-publishes, and it can post to Notion and Shopify. Readsgreat gives you the choice: approve each article in the app before it goes up, or let it post to WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Wix, Framer and more on autopilot. You can flip between the two whenever you like, so a busy month doesn't mean a quiet blog.
