Organizations

An organization is the container everything else in RankYak lives in: it owns the subscription and it owns the sites. Every account starts with one organization, and typically one is all you need, even when you run several sites. Agencies and teams sometimes create more to keep clients separated, since each organization carries its own billing and its own members.

The organization overview

The organization overview is the start screen of RankYak. It lists each of your organizations with its sites, so you may jump into any site or manage the organization around it. To reach it from within a site, click the site name in the top-left corner and choose View all organizations.

Next to each organization, the three-dots menu offers four pages:

• Settings, where you rename or delete the organization;
• Members, where you manage who has access;
• Billing, where you manage the subscription;
• Usage, where you follow your credit usage across every credit type and may buy extra credits.

Switching between organizations

You do not switch organizations explicitly; you switch sites. The site switcher in the top-left corner lists your sites across all of your organizations, and opening a site places you in its organization's context. Of course, the organization overview shows everything grouped per organization if you prefer the full picture.

Renaming an organization

Open the organization's Settings, update the Name field, and save. The name is purely a label for you and your members; it does not appear anywhere on your websites.

Creating an organization

If you would like to separate a set of sites, for example a client's from your own, click New organization on the organization overview and give it a name. The new organization starts empty, with its own subscription and its own member list, and you may create sites in it right away.

Deleting an organization

Only the organization's owner may delete it. Open the organization's Settings, click Delete organization, and type "delete" to confirm. Deleting an organization cancels its subscription and permanently deletes all of its sites and their data in RankYak. As always, articles that were already published on the websites themselves remain online. This action cannot be undone.
