Projects

How projects map to websites, and how to create, pause, and delete them.

A project represents one website. Each project has its own keywords, its own content plan, its own articles, its own integrations, and its own settings, so every website gets a strategy tailored to its niche and language. If you manage several websites, you create a project for each, all inside the same organization.

How billing follows projects

Your organization holds a single subscription, and that subscription is priced per active project: $99 per month per website, with all features included. The mechanics are simple.

  • Activating a project adds it to the subscription. Partway through a billing cycle, you are charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the cycle.
  • Deactivating a project removes it from the subscription. The project stays active until the end of the current billing cycle, and you are not charged for it again.
  • Reactivating a project picks up exactly where it left off, with all keywords, articles, and settings intact.

Organizations running three or more active projects receive an automatic volume discount of up to 20 percent.

Creating a project

On the organization overview, click New project next to the organization it belongs to, then follow the setup flow. RankYak analyzes the website, runs its first round of keyword research, and generates your first article right away.

Project details

Under Settings, then Project, you may edit the project's name, description, and audience. The description and audience feed directly into article generation, so a few honest sentences about what your business does and who it serves make every article more accurate. The domain, country, and language are fixed after setup; if one of them needs to change, you should contact support.

Deactivating a project

Sometimes you may wish to pause a website without losing anything. Open the project's Settings, then Billing, and click Deactivate project; the same control is available on the organization's billing page. Once the current billing cycle ends, article generation, publishing, and backlink activity stop, and so do the charges. Everything the project contains is kept, so you may reactivate it whenever you are ready. If it is your last active project, deactivating it also cancels the subscription at the end of the cycle.

Deleting a project

If you would like to remove a website permanently, open the project's Settings, then Project, click Delete project, and type "delete" to confirm. All of the project's data in RankYak is permanently deleted, and the project no longer counts toward your subscription. Articles that were already published on your website remain online. This action cannot be undone, so if there is any chance you will return to the website later, you should deactivate the project instead.
