Sites

What a site is, what it costs, and how to create, stop, and delete one.

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 every site is a line on it. There is no site limit: you pay $99 per month for each site you run, and one invoice covers them all. See billing for what a site includes and how to add Site Guard to one.

  • Adding a site charges the rest of the current period straight away, and the site starts at once, publishing on each of the days that remain.
  • Stopping a site takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. Until then everything runs as normal, and nothing is credited back.
  • Adding it back picks up exactly where it left off, with all keywords, articles, and settings intact.

Organizations that subscribed before this pricing keep the price they are on.

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.

Stopping a site

Sometimes you may wish to pause a site without losing anything. Open the site's Settings, then Billing, and click Stop site; the same control is available on the organization's billing page.

The site runs to the end of the period you have paid for, so article generation, publishing, and backlink activity all carry on until your renewal date and none of the period is credited back. The billing page shows the date it stops and a Keep the site button that takes the decision back at any point before then.

Everything the site contains is kept, so you may add it to your subscription again whenever you are ready. Stopping your last remaining site cancels the subscription, which comes to the same thing: every site runs out the period you have paid for.

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 stops being billed at the end of the period you have paid for. 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 stop it instead.
