Create your first project
A "project" is the umbrella for one website or topic area. In the dashboard, click the project switcher in the top-left and choose "+ New Project".
- › Project name (e.g. "My Travel Blog")
- › Domain (optional, but recommended for GEO tracking)
- › Language and target market
- › Tone of voice (casual, professional, technical …)
Enter your keyword
In the left sidebar, find "Articles". Click "+ New Article" and enter the keyword you want to rank for. Example: "sustainable backpacks berlin".
Tip
Long-tail keywords (3+ words) are ideal for your first article: less competition, clearer intent, higher ranking chance.
Let the AI write your article
Click "Generate Article". Rankion analyzes the top 10 Google results for your keyword, identifies key subtopics, and writes a complete article — including H2/H3 structure, FAQ, and meta description.
Heads up
Generation runs in the background (30-90 seconds). You can leave the page — the job continues on the server and updates in your article list.
Refine in the editor and publish
Once the article is ready, the editor opens. Article on the left, SEO score with actionable suggestions on the right (keyword density, readability, missing subtopics). Click any suggestion to apply it.
