Sites

A site is one website RankYak runs SEO for. Each site 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 have several websites, you create a site for each, all inside the same organization.

Sites and billing

Your organization holds a single subscription, and its plan sets how many sites may be active at once: one on Starter, five on Professional, and unlimited on Business, subject to fair use. The price does not change with the site count. The mechanics are simple.

• Activating a site takes a free place in your plan. When every place is in use, you should deactivate another site first or upgrade your plan.
• Deactivating a site frees its place immediately and stops its article generation, publishing, and backlink activity.
• Reactivating a site picks up exactly where it left off, with all keywords, articles, and settings intact.

Organizations on the original per-website plan keep that plan's pricing and its volume discount instead. The original plan no longer accepts new sites, however: adding a site or reactivating a deactivated one takes one of the current plans, which you may pick on the billing page. The switch applies immediately, your existing sites move with you, and the unused portion of your current period is credited toward the new plan.

Creating a site

On the organization overview, click New site 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.

Site details

Under Settings, then Site, you may edit the site'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 site

Sometimes you may wish to pause a site without losing anything. Open the site's Settings, then Billing, and click Deactivate site; the same control is available on the organization's billing page. Article generation, publishing, and backlink activity stop, and this frees a place in your plan for another site. Everything the site contains is kept, so you may reactivate it whenever you are ready. On the original per-website plan, deactivation instead takes effect at the end of the billing cycle, deactivating the last active site cancels the subscription, and reactivating a site takes one of the current plans, since the original plan no longer accepts sites.

Deleting a site

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