# RankYak > RankYak is an AI-powered SEO automation platform that runs end-to-end SEO on full autopilot: keyword discovery, monthly content planning, daily article generation (up to 5,000 words), auto-publishing, internal/external linking, and backlink building. It integrates with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, WordPress.com, Zapier, Make, and custom platforms via API/webhooks/RSS. Supports 40+ languages. Built by Height Labs. RankYak automates the entire SEO pipeline so businesses and agencies can grow organic traffic in Google and AI search results (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews) without manual work. Articles are built using real-time SERP analysis, competitor research, search intent matching, E-E-A-T guidelines, topic clustering, and verified facts with citations. Content adapts to the user's brand voice and is polished to read naturally. ## Platform Overview RankYak solves the core problem that most businesses lack the time, budget, or expertise to do SEO consistently. Instead of hiring an in-house team or expensive agency, users connect their website and RankYak handles everything automatically. The platform runs a five-step cycle on autopilot: 1. Keyword Discovery: Analyzes the user's website, niche, and competitors to find high-potential keywords including long-tail phrases. Uses Google Search Console data to prevent keyword cannibalization. Builds topical maps for topical authority. 2. Content Planning: Generates a monthly content plan that decides which keyword to target every single day. The schedule is editable but runs automatically if left untouched. 3. Article Generation: Writes one SEO-optimized article per day (frequency adjustable, articles up to 5,000 words). Each article is built from scratch using live SERP research, competitor page analysis, search intent matching, E-E-A-T compliance (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), topic clusters, internal and external linking, facts with cited sources, and on-brand images. Content adapts to the user's brand voice and supports 40+ languages. Articles are polished to read naturally and avoid sounding like generic AI output. 4. Publishing: Articles are auto-published directly to the user's website (live or as drafts for review) via native integrations with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, and WordPress.com. Also supports Zapier, Make, API, RSS feeds, and webhooks for custom platforms. 5. Backlink Exchange: Automatically builds a profile of high-quality backlinks by connecting the user's website with others in RankYak's network. Backlinks come from human-vetted websites and articles, improving domain authority on autopilot.
