Action Center

The Action Center is Rankion's central inbox for recommendations across all modules. Instead of looking for findings in every tool — audit here, optimizer there, tracker elsewhere — every actionable task lands in one to-do list with priority, estimated impact, due date, and a source link. You work through them like a standard backlog: complete, snooze, dismiss. The engine behind it is configurable via Goal Profiles (what counts as important for you), Industry Templates (industry defaults), and SEO Detectors (which signals get caught).

What it can do

• Cross-module aggregation — pulls action items from Content Audit, AVI Tracking, Optimizer, Rank Tracker, Backlinks and more into one queue.
• Goal profiles — your setup: what are your top goals (traffic, AVI coverage, sales lead quality)? Prioritization follows from there.
• Industry templates — predefined goal profiles per industry (e-commerce, local services, SaaS, affiliate).
• SEO detectors — list of all active signal detectors (e.g. "article without title tag", "keyword fell out of top 10"). Each detector toggleable.
• Path & paths — the "currently recommended path" to your goal: 5–10 next actions, sorted by impact/effort.
• Recompute on demand — manual re-calc when you've just made larger changes.
• Todos — the concrete tasks: list, create (manually), complete, snooze, delete.

When to use

• You sit down in the morning and want to know what actually matters right now — without checking 10 modules.
• You work with a team and want to assign tasks generated from data.
• You run an audit program and want to forward findings as tickets instead of mailing PDFs around.
• You want KPI tracking ("how many action items were open in 30 days, how many were resolved?").

Workflow

1. Set goal profile — POST /action-center/goal-profile with your goals, or use an industry-template as a starting point.
2. Configure detectors — GET /action-center/seo-detectors lists all of them, toggle individuals on/off.
3. Generate / fetch path — GET /action-center/path for the "next step" suggestion or /paths for all paths.
4. Recompute — after larger changes or new data: POST /action-center/path/recompute.
5. Process todos — GET /action-center/todos, then per todo complete, snooze, or DELETE.
6. Custom tasks — POST /action-center/todos for manual, non-detector-sourced tasks.

Kanban board

The List | Board toggle (top right) switches to a Kanban view with four columns: Suggestion (AI) · In Progress · Review · Done. Drag cards between columns; click a card to open the drawer with team features.

• Two separate status axes. status (open/snoozed/completed/…) stays the AI truth (detectors drive it). board_stage (backlog/in_progress/review/done) is the team truth, set only by dragging.
• Team wins, AI informs. As soon as a card is first dragged out of "Suggestion", team_managed=true — from then on the AI never auto-moves it. If a detector still sees the issue as resolved it only sets a "✓ done?" badge; the team confirms or ignores. Cards left in the backlog still auto-resolve normally.
• Per card: team notes (threaded), assignee, checkable steps (from the AI how_steps), due date + custom labels.
• Drag→Done completes the card (status=completed); dragging back reactivates it. Filters (module/urgency/search) apply to both list and board.

API

Body of POST /action-center/todos:

{
  "title": "Write title tag for article #4711",
  "priority": "high",
  "due_at": "2026-05-15T12:00:00Z",
  "source_module": "content_audit",
  "source_ref": "audit:998:finding:23"
}

Credits & Limits

• List, detail, complete, snooze, delete: all free.
• Recompute: free, runs async — for large projects the job can take 10–30 s.
• Detector runs: the individual audit / tracker runs that generate action items cost their normal credits in the source modules.
• Snooze default: 7 days, overridable per call.

Related modules

• Content Audit — the biggest source generator of action items.
• AI Visibility Tracking — AVI drops and new ChatGPT citations turn into todos.
• Content Optimizer — optimize suggestions can be assigned as todos.
• Automation — pipelines can auto-generate action items on certain events.
