Where Rankfender fits

Keep Conductor for enterprise content and SEO reporting in one workflow. Rankfender is not built for enterprise scale: its site audit covers 10, 50 or 500 pages per run, depending on the plan.

Rankfender fits if you want:

  • AI visibility: how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok, Llama and Mistral answer your buyers’ questions, with mention rate, position, sentiment, sources named and competitor share of voice.
  • Site Health: an SEO + GEO + AEO audit of about 60 checks, including AI-crawler access, llms.txt, schema and internal links.
  • Articles written from source evidence and cited to real pages, held back by a publish gate if they fail review, published to WordPress in one click.
  • One price from $89 a month, with monthly usage credits included.

Many teams run both: Conductor for enterprise content and SEO reporting in one workflow, Rankfender for AI visibility, the site audit and content.
