Keywords & Search Console

SEO with no keyword in mind is just guessing. RankAgent makes you pick a target first, then measures everything — titles, headings, content, rankings — against it.

Keyword-first by design
On paid plans a site's other tabs stay locked until you've set at least one target keyword. Remove every keyword and they lock again. It's a deliberate guardrail: a recommendation is only useful when it's tied to a keyword you actually want.
Choosing your keywords
Type the terms you want to rank for. RankAgent's AI then does two things:
- Rates your own list — for each keyword you entered, it estimates difficulty and intent, adds a one-line note, and sometimes suggests a sharper phrasing you can adopt with one tap.
- Suggests more — grounded in your actual page content, so the ideas complement your list instead of repeating it.

There's also a built-in guide on picking good keywords, including a free Google Keyword Planner walkthrough — because there's no free keyword-volume API, we teach you to gather volumes, then bring them back.
Keyword-optimization analysis
Once your keywords are set, the Fixes tab shows how well each page covers them — presence in the title, H1, meta description and body — and flags the gaps. Every gap has a one-click AI fix that rewrites the element to include the term naturally.

Free rank tracking via Google Search Console
Connect Google Search Console (read-only) and RankAgent pulls your real positions, clicks and impressions — then matches them to your target keywords. This is genuinely free rank tracking: it's your own Search Console data, not a scraped estimate.

GSC data also powers impression-based cannibalization detection — when two of your pages compete for the same query and split its impressions.
Optional: DataForSEO for the gaps

GSC can only show keywords you already get impressions for. To track keywords you don't rank for yet, or competitors' SERP positions, RankAgent can use DataForSEO — dormant until DATAFORSEO_LOGIN / DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD are set, with a 14-day cache and a daily cap to keep costs tiny.
Plan
Keywords, keyword-optimization analysis, and GSC rank tracking are on Starter and up. The Free plan has no keyword features. DataForSEO is an optional add-on across paid plans.
