RankOps is the sprint-based PM system built for SEO agencies. Goals auto-count from your live data. Tasks ship with the right type and time estimate. Templates spawn entire sprints in 60 seconds. Stop bending Asana to fit SEO.
No project setup theater. No 4 weeks of "configuring statuses." Pick a template, plan a 2-week sprint, watch goals auto-track from live data.
Every primitive — task, goal, sprint, template, report — is shaped specifically for SEO. No generic abstractions you have to bend for hours every week.
Audits (Quick · Standard · Deep) · Content (Blog · Pillar · Refresh · Cluster) · Link Building (Outreach · Guest Post · HARO) · Local SEO (Onboarding · GBP · Citations) · Reporting (Monthly · Sprint · QBR Prep). Each one is a complete project structure with subtasks, time estimates, dependencies, and recommended assignee roles.
5 goal categories (rankings · links · technical · content · custom) auto-track from your live RankTracker, RankBridge, RankAudit, GA4, and GSC data. No manual updates that drift out of sync.
7-insight morning briefing per workspace. Critical alerts · warnings · wins · trend changes · anomalies · sprint updates · predictions. Replaces the daily slack-scroll across 6 client workspaces.
Drop in a client brief, audit summary, or RFP. RankOps generates a full sprint structure — tasks, subtasks, time estimates, dependencies, suggested assignees, suggested goals — based on the 16 built-in templates plus your historical patterns. 3-hour onboarding becomes 60 seconds.
8 health metrics on one screen — sprint progress, goal trajectory, capacity utilization, velocity, burndown, blocked items, scope drift, time elapsed vs done. Every project owner's morning view.
Manage 5-50 clients on one screen. Color-coded health, capacity allocation per team member across all clients, drill-down per project. Built for the agencies tired of opening 22 tabs.
Drag-drop workload management with green / amber / red triage. See every team member's allocation across all clients before someone burns out. Reassign with two clicks.
Every sprint dashboard shows what matters in 5 seconds: are you on track, who's blocked, where's the goal headed, what's the AI flagging. No drilling required.
Every night at 11pm, RankOps recomputes every goal's trajectory from live tool data. No "I'll update this Monday" stale numbers. Status is computed: On Track · At Risk · Blocked · Achieved.
RankOps's data sync runs every night at 11pm. AI processes overnight changes at 6:50am. The insight report posts to your channel at 7am — categorized by severity so you scan the criticals first.
Drop in a client brief, audit summary, or RFP. RankOps generates the entire sprint structure based on the 16 templates plus your historical patterns. Onboarding drops from 3 hours to 60 seconds.
Color-coded health per client. Click any row for full project drill-down. Scan in 30 seconds: who's at risk, who's hitting goals, who needs your attention this week.
Drag-drop reassignment with green / amber / red triage. See every team member's load across all 22 client workspaces. Reassign in two clicks. Plan next sprint with realistic capacity, not optimism.
Every template is a complete project structure — pre-defined tasks with subtasks, time estimates, dependencies, and recommended assignee roles. Clone, customise, ship.
RankOps's deepest leverage is the integration. Every goal pulls from a live tool. Every alert spawns from a real metric. Tasks created in chat (RankTalk) inherit project context automatically. Standalone works fine — connected is unfair.
Tooling alone doesn't ship work. RankOps gives you scaffolding for the four moments that matter — planning, daily, mid-sprint check, sprint close — with built-in agendas, prompts, and report generators.
Pre-built agenda. Capacity check. Goal definition. Task pull from backlog. Lock scope.
7 categorised insights · auto-posted to RankTalk · ranked by severity.
Scope adjustment workflow. At-risk goals get recovery suggestions. Reassign or defer.
/sprint end · /retro · /report sprint generates the client-ready deliverable in 10 min.
"We migrated 22 clients from ClickUp in 3 weeks. The 16 templates literally replaced 4 internal SOPs we'd been maintaining for years. New client onboarding went from 3 hours to 5 minutes."
"Goals that auto-count from RankTracker and RankBridge changed our retro meetings forever. Numbers in the report match numbers in the dashboard match numbers in the goal. Zero finger-pointing."
"AI Daily Review is the single feature I'd never give up. 7am report on what's at risk across all 5 of my freelance clients. I drink coffee. The brief tells me where to focus today. That's the entire 'PM tool' for me."
Whether you're a solo SEO with 3 clients, an agency running 30, or an in-house team across 5 brands — RankOps shapes around your structure.
1 to 5 clients. Free tier covers everything except multi-workspace. The 16 templates make every onboarding feel like a 10-person team did it.
3 to 50 people. Multi-client portfolio + capacity allocation + template library. Built for the agencies tired of the multi-tab problem.
3 to 20 people across multiple brands. One workspace per brand cleanly separates work without forcing every project into the company tracker.
Three built-in templates handle 95% of agency reporting. AI generates the executive narrative from your real sprint data. Custom branding, scheduled delivery, embedded data widgets.
16 templates. 9 task types. 5 goal categories. AI Daily Review. Multi-client portfolio. Native to all 10 Rankar tools. Free forever for 1 project.
Every Rankar.ai product shares the same workspace, team, and client data — so your sprints, chat, content, keywords, and reports all live in one place.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Generic PM tools are content-agnostic — you spend weeks bending them to fit SEO workflows. RankOps ships with 16 templates, 9 task types, and 5 goal categories already shaped around how SEO agencies actually work. Goals auto-count from your live RankTracker, RankBridge, and RankAudit data — no manual updates that drift out of sync with reality.
No. RankOps works standalone with manual data entry. But its highest leverage is the native integration — when goals auto-count from RankTracker, when /audit spawns tasks from RankAudit, when RankLinks orders flow into the kanban automatically. Most users start standalone and connect tools as they migrate.
Yes. The multi-client portfolio dashboard is built specifically for agencies running 5-50 clients. See sprint health, capacity allocation, and goal status across every client on one screen, with drill-down per project. RankFirst Digital runs 22 clients with 12 people on the Agency tier.
Drop in a client brief, audit summary, or RFP. RankOps generates a complete sprint structure — tasks, subtasks, time estimates, dependencies, suggested assignees, suggested goals — based on the 16 built-in templates plus your historical patterns. You review and adjust, not start from scratch. New client onboarding drops from 3 hours to 60 seconds.
Typical 3 weeks: Week 1 — pilot with 1 client. Week 2 — migrate active projects, set up integrations. Week 3 — full team migration, old tool becomes read-only. Detailed migration playbook included in onboarding. Templates handle most of the structural work.
Yes. Every template can be cloned and edited. You can also create entirely custom templates from scratch and add them to the library for your team. Template bundles let you spawn multi-workstream engagements (e.g. Standard Audit + Outreach Campaign + Content Cluster) in 60 seconds.
Every night at 11pm, RankOps runs a data sync across connected tools (RankTracker, RankBridge, RankAudit, GA4, GSC). At 6:50am, AI processes the changes and generates 7 categorised insights — critical / warning / win / trend / anomaly / sprint update / prediction. At 7am, it posts to your configured RankTalk channel or email.
1 project · unlimited tasks · unlimited goals · all 16 templates · AI Daily Review · 1 user. Perfect for freelancers running 1-3 clients. Pro tier ($49/mo) unlocks unlimited projects + AI Creation + multi-client portfolio. Agency tier ($329/mo) adds white-label, SSO, audit logs, and priority support.
Technically yes — the kanban + sprint + goals primitives work for any project. But the templates, task types, goal categories, and integrations are all SEO-specific, so you'll get most of the value if you're running SEO work. For general PM, Asana or Linear are probably better fits.
3 built-in templates: Monthly Client Report (6 tasks, ~2hr), Sprint Report (5 tasks, ~1.5hr, auto-runs on /sprint end), QBR Prep (12 tasks, ~6hr). All auto-generated from your sprint data with AI executive narrative. Custom branding and white-label PDF/HTML export on Agency tier. Scheduled delivery via email, Slack, or RankTalk.
Asana, ClickUp, and Trello are content-agnostic. You spend weeks bending them to fit SEO. RankOps ships pre-shaped — templates, task types, goal categories, integrations.
