FAQ

Is AltoRank a RankYak alternative?

Yes — for agencies. RankYak auto-publishes daily SEO articles with no review step, which suits hands-off solo sites. AltoRank keeps the same research → draft → publish pipeline but gates publishing behind human editorial approval (with per-client client sign-off), plus per-client workspaces, white-label, and e-commerce-native content.

Why not just use RankYak for clients?

Publishing unreviewed AI to a client's brand is the exact behaviour Google's 2025 scaled-content enforcement penalised. For an agency, that risk lands on the client. AltoRank's approval gate is the direct mitigation — a human (and optionally the client) signs off before anything goes live.

Is AltoRank more expensive than RankYak?

AltoRank Solo is €99/mo vs RankYak from ~$49/mo, but AltoRank includes the agency layer RankYak lacks: per-client workspaces, white-label, an approval workflow, and e-commerce-native content. For client work, that layer is the point.
