You don't know what's broken
Slow pages, missing titles, broken links and pages Google never indexed quietly cap your traffic. Nothing tells you they exist.
Rankar for small business
The SEO department your small business can actually afford
One workspace that audits your website, finds the searches worth winning, fixes your local listings, writes the pages and tracks every position — without an agency retainer or six separate subscriptions.

The reality
Why small businesses lose search traffic they already earned
It's rarely one big mistake. It's six small, invisible ones — each costing a few customers a month.
You're guessing at keywords
Without real search volumes and difficulty you write about topics nobody searches — or ones you can never win.
You can't see the competition
The rival ranking above you made specific moves: pages, links, content updates. Right now those moves are invisible.
Agencies cost more than the work
£1,500 a month for a PDF report. You want the same intelligence and to keep the budget for the actual work.
AI answers are skipping you
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations. If they never name you, demand disappears silently.
No time, no process
SEO is a fifty-tab job. Between customers there's no time to stitch six tools and a spreadsheet together.

How it works
From signup to steady growth in four steps
No onboarding project. No spreadsheet. Rankar does the analysis, you make the calls.
01
Connect your site — 5 minutes
Add your domain and Rankar crawls it, pulls your rankings, finds your competitors and audits your local listings. No setup call, no onboarding project, no card required.
- — Full technical crawl
- — Baseline rankings
- — Competitor set detected
- — Local listing scan
02
See the shortlist, not the noise
Every issue is scored by the traffic it costs you, so the top of the list is always the highest-value fix. Small business mode keeps that list short and human-readable.
- — Priority-ranked issues
- — Plain-English explanations
- — Effort vs impact
- — One-click re-check
03
Do the work inside Rankar
Write the page, fix the title, claim the directory, chase the link — the tools that fix each issue are the same tools that found it.
- — AI content studio
- — Local claim queue
- — Link opportunities
- — Task board
04
Watch it compound
Daily rank tracking, weekly digests and a one-page report you can send to a partner, an investor or your own inbox as proof it's working.
- — Daily positions
- — Weekly email digest
- — Shareable report
- — Alerts on drops
What's inside
Eight tools, one login, one bill
Each one replaces a subscription you'd otherwise buy separately — and they share the same data about your website.

Finds what's technically holding your site back — indexing, speed, broken pages, missing metadata.
RankSearch
Real search volumes and difficulty, so you only write pages you can actually win.
RankLocal
Map Pack position, Google Business Profile gaps and 70+ directory listings per location.
RankWriter
Briefs and drafts in your own tone of voice, structured to rank from the first publish.
RankTrack
Daily positions for every keyword that matters, with alerts when something slips.
RankSpy
See every page, content change and ranking move your competitors make.
RankBridge
Your backlinks, your rivals' backlinks, and the gap you can realistically close.

Track whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity cite you — and fix it when they don't.

A plan you can follow between customers
Rankar sequences the work so early wins fund the patience the rest of it needs.

Clear the crawl and indexing errors, tighten titles and descriptions on your money pages, and correct your name, address and phone everywhere it appears.
Days 8–30
Own your core searches
Build or rewrite the five pages that match how customers actually search for what you sell — service, location, price and comparison intent.
Days 31–60
Build authority
Work the link gap against your closest rival, claim the directories that matter in your country, and collect reviews on the profiles that feed the Map Pack.
Days 61–90
Compound and report
Publish on a rhythm, watch positions climb daily, and read one report that shows exactly which work produced which result.

In their words
What small business owners notice first
I run a two-van plumbing business. Rankar told me my hours were wrong on nine directories and my service pages had no titles. Fixed both in an afternoon — the phone noticeably changed.
I was paying an agency for a monthly PDF. Now I see the same numbers daily and spend the difference on actual content.
The keyword difficulty scores stopped me wasting three months on terms I'd never rank for. That alone paid for the year.
Included
Learn the craft while you use the tools
Rankar Academy comes with your account: 16 structured tracks, short lessons and exams, each one practised inside the tool it teaches. You end up capable, not dependent.
Questions
Straight answers before you sign up
I've never done SEO. Is this too advanced for me?
No. Every issue Rankar finds is written in plain language with what it means, why it matters and what to change. The included Academy teaches the fundamentals with short lessons tied to the exact tool you're using.
How much time does it take each week?
Most small business owners work through the shortlist in one or two focused hours a week. Rankar's job is to make sure those hours go to the highest-value fixes rather than busywork.
Do I need a developer?
For most fixes, no — titles, content, listings, reviews and internal links are all editable in your website admin. A handful of speed and server issues may need help, and Rankar labels those clearly so you know what to hand over.
Will this work for a single-location business?
Yes. One location, one workspace. Rankar audits your Google Business Profile, checks your Map Pack position from real nearby coordinates and tracks the searches people in your area actually use.
Can I cancel or export my data?
Yes. There's no contract and no setup fee. Your keywords, reports and content stay exportable for as long as you have an account.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
An agency does the work and keeps the knowledge. Rankar gives you the same intelligence, does the heavy analysis automatically, and leaves you owning both the work and the understanding. Many owners use Rankar alongside a freelancer for execution.
Does it help with AI search too?
Yes. RankAIO tracks whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention your business for the questions your buyers ask, and shows what to change on your pages when they don't.
