Use the search above to find specific topics in seconds, or browse the complete list below to learn how to maximize your results with RankPill and turn AI-generated content into consistent organic traffic.

Why do my articles mention competitors or other products?

This is a critical SEO strategy, not a mistake. Google and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) prioritize comprehensive, unbiased comparisons over promotional content that only mentions one product. If you search "best CRM software" on Google right now, every top result compares multiple products (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.) This is what ranks, what users expect when they search, and what RankPill creates.

When you objectively compare options, you become an authoritative source instead of a salesperson. This builds trust, increases engagement, and matches search intent. People searching for solutions want to see their options, not just read an advertisement.

Your business still wins. Enable "Auto Promote Business" in Settings to naturally highlight your solution throughout the content. Add CTAs that guide readers to your product after they're informed. Once you start getting traffic, you can optimize further by removing some competitor mentions and adding more details about your specific offers. But first, you need to rank and get visitors. Without traffic, promotional content reaches nobody.

Why does my published article link show "not found" when I click it?

This happens when your blog URL in RankPill doesn't match your actual website's blog URL structure. RankPill creates article links by combining your blog URL and article slug.

For example, if RankPill generates an article with slug "best-seo-tools" and your blog URL is set to "example.com/articles", the link will be "example.com/articles/best-seo-tools". But if your actual website uses "example.com/blog" instead, the link won't work.

To fix this, go to your actual website and find any published blog article. Copy the URL up to (but not including) the article slug. For example, if the URL is "example.com/blog/article-1", your blog URL is "example.com/blog". Then in RankPill, go to Settings → Business, update the Blog URL field with your correct blog URL, and save the changes. Once updated, all your article links will automatically use the correct blog URL without needing to republish existing articles.

Can I only generate 1 article per day?

Yes, RankPill is designed to publish one article per day to maintain a natural, consistent publishing schedule. This approach follows SEO best practices - search engines favor websites that publish content consistently over time rather than in bulk.

Publishing one article daily signals to search engines that your site is actively maintained and regularly updated with fresh content. This prevents overwhelming search engines with too much content at once, which can sometimes be flagged as unnatural behavior. A steady, predictable publishing rhythm helps build authority and trust with search engines while giving each article the best chance to be properly indexed and ranked.

Why am I getting a WordPress authentication error?

This error usually means something is blocking the connection between RankPill and your WordPress site. The most common causes are security plugins (like Wordfence Security, VPN Guard, Proxy Blockers, Akismet Anti-spam, or Jetpack) that block external REST API connections. Try temporarily disabling these plugins to see if the connection works.

Make sure you have Administrator or Editor access in WordPress to create Application Passwords, and verify that your REST API is enabled (it's enabled by default in WordPress). If you have a developer, you can add them as a team member to help with the integration. They'll need to create a free RankPill account first, then you can invite them from Settings → Team Members.

Can I write articles in multiple languages?

RankPill currently requires a separate account for each language. Articles aren't translated - instead, entirely new, language-specific content is created for each language.

Separate accounts are necessary because each language needs its own keyword research, and different markets have different search behaviors and optimization requirements. The best practice is to start with your most important market or language first, build traffic and establish a steady flow, and then create a second account for your other language.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time directly from your account. Go to Settings → Billing and click the 'Cancel Subscription' button. After confirming the cancellation, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period, but you won't be charged again.

Do you offer agency pricing?

Agency pricing isn't currently offered, though this may be available in the future as the platform continues to improve. For now, each client or website requires a separate RankPill account to ensure optimal performance and dedicated resources for each project.

Why is my article generation taking longer than usual?

Sometimes article generation takes longer than usual. This is normal and everything is working correctly - it just needs more time to complete. If you have autogeneration enabled in your settings, your article will still be generated and published by the evening of your scheduled day.

If you need your article faster, you can turn off autogeneration and manually generate an article to receive it in approximately 10-15 minutes. However, you'll need to remember to come back the next day to manually generate your next article, as it won't happen automatically.

Can I publish to other website platforms?

Yes! If your platform isn't directly supported, you can connect using Webhooks or automation tools like Zapier or Make.com. Learn more about this option in the Webhooks integration guide.

If automated publishing doesn't work for your platform, you can easily copy and paste articles manually. Open your article in the RankPill editor, click "Copy as" in the editor toolbar, choose your preferred format (Rich Text, HTML, or Markdown), paste the content into your CMS editor, and manually copy over the title, slug, and meta description from the sidebar - these are important for SEO.

Can I turn off competitor mentions in my articles?

While you can control this setting, keeping competitor mentions enabled is highly recommended. RankPill analyzes what's already performing best on Google for your keywords. For many high-value keywords, the top-ranking articles mention multiple options and include external links - this is what search engines and readers find most valuable.

The recommendation is to let the articles generate with competitor mentions to match the format that ranks. Once an article starts getting traffic, you can edit it to position your business as the number one option. This strategy helps you rank first, then convert visitors into customers. If you turn off competitor mentions completely, your articles won't match the format of top-ranking content, which can significantly reduce your chances of ranking well.

To control this setting, go to Settings → Generation where you can adjust how competitor mentions appear in your articles.

Why was my article generation skipped and showing as "queued"?

This typically happens when your payment hasn't been confirmed yet when the automatic generation starts. If the system doesn't detect available credits at the scheduled generation time, the article stays in "queued" status.

This doesn't use any of your credits, and all future articles will generate and publish normally once your payment is confirmed. If you're on a trial and have existing keywords ready, you can use your trial credits to manually generate an article from any of them.

Can I organize articles into categories?

RankPill doesn't include a categories feature because, according to SEO best practices, it's recommended to publish all articles on a single platform like domain.com/blog. Categories don't improve traffic and can sometimes cause additional technical issues.

For WordPress users who want to add structure to their blog, tags can be used instead. You could publish all articles to one page and add tags weekly or monthly to organize them. However, for getting actual SEO results and traffic, organizing articles into categories is completely unnecessary.

I'm seeing bot traffic on my website. Is this from RankPill?

The bot traffic you're seeing is completely normal and not related to RankPill. Most websites experience bot traffic from time to time - this is a standard part of being online.

If bots are finding your articles, it means your content is already indexed on Google and discoverable by search engines. This is actually a positive sign that your SEO is working. If you're concerned about managing bot traffic, contact a developer or your hosting provider who can help you implement appropriate security measures if needed.

Does RankPill integrate with Squarespace?

Unfortunately, a direct Squarespace integration cannot be created. Squarespace doesn't provide the necessary API access for third-party developers to build direct integrations with their platform.

You can try connecting your Squarespace site using Webhooks, which may work depending on your Squarespace setup. If SEO and automatic publishing are crucial for your business, you might consider switching to a platform that supports direct integrations, such as WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or Wix. Some customers have made this transition to take full advantage of RankPill's automation features.

Can I use the affiliate program for my client accounts?

Yes, you can share your affiliate link with clients, but there's an important requirement: your clients must pay for their own subscriptions using their own billing details and payment methods.

You cannot pay for client accounts using your own billing information. This is considered misuse under the terms and can result in account termination without refunds. The correct process is for clients to sign up through your affiliate link with their own payment details, pay for their own subscriptions, and then you earn affiliate commissions.

How do I remove the 'Article written using RankPill' attribution?

The attribution is only added to articles during the trial period. Once your trial ends and you have an active subscription, new articles will no longer include the "Article written using RankPill" attribution.

For existing articles that were generated during your trial, you can remove the attribution by opening the article in RankPill's editor, deleting the attribution line, and clicking 'Update Article'. Alternatively, you can delete it directly on your published website.

My articles aren't ranking on Google yet. Why?

SEO takes time, and this is completely normal. In the first 3-4 weeks, articles are being discovered and indexed by Google. At 4-8 weeks, articles start appearing in search results, usually on pages 2-5. After 2-3 months, articles begin climbing to page 1 for target keywords. Optimal rankings and consistent traffic typically appear at 3-6 months.

ChatGPT usually picks up articles sooner than Google, often within 1-2 weeks. Check Google Analytics to see ChatGPT traffic. While waiting, keep publishing consistently and don't judge results too early. After 2-3 months, analyze which articles are working and focus on similar topics.

Can I pause my subscription?

Unfortunately, there's no pause feature available. You can either cancel your subscription or keep it active.

If you just want to temporarily stop generating new articles without canceling, you can turn off 'Auto-Publishing' in Settings → Automation. If you want to stop generating articles entirely, also turn off 'Auto-Generation'. This way you maintain your subscription and access to all features without generating unwanted content. When you're ready to resume, simply turn these features back on.

What happens to my credits if I cancel?

When you cancel your subscription, your article credits do not roll over to the next month, so make sure to use all your remaining credits before your subscription period ends. You'll continue to have full access to RankPill until the end of your current billing period, which means you can still generate, edit, and publish articles during this time.

Your data isn't deleted when you cancel. All your articles, keywords, and settings are saved in your account. If you decide to come back to RankPill later, you'll find everything exactly as you left it.

How do I integrate RankPill with GoHighLevel?

Unfortunately, there's no direct integration with GoHighLevel. However, you can connect using Webhooks to automatically send articles - check the Webhooks guide for setup instructions. You can use tools like Zapier or Make.com to create the connection.

Alternatively, you can manually copy and paste articles. RankPill makes this easy - see the Copy Article guide. Another option is to host your blog on a subdomain (like blog.yourdomain.com) using WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, or Wix, which have direct integrations. This won't affect your SEO or site credibility as long as it's on your domain.

Do I need a website with a blog page to use RankPill?

Yes, RankPill requires you to have an existing website with a blog or news section. RankPill finds keywords for you, shows which keywords are best to rank for (with data), generates SEO-optimized articles, and automatically publishes them to your blog. However, RankPill doesn't build websites or create blog pages from scratch.

Your website needs to be on WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, Wix, or a custom platform. Most themes have a blog or news page built-in. Once your integration is connected, you don't need to do anything else. First traffic results usually become visible after a few weeks as it takes time for Google to discover and rank the articles.

Can I reset onboarding to choose different competitors?

Yes, onboarding can be reset, but this will completely wipe all your articles and keywords to start fresh. This reset is useful when you want to analyze different competitors, change your content language (for example from English to German), made mistakes during initial onboarding, or are completely changing your business focus.

When you reset onboarding, all keywords, all generated articles, all calendar schedules, and competitor data will be deleted. Your subscription and billing information stays intact, as do your integration connections (though you may need to reconnect them) and custom instructions. To request a reset, contact support and confirm that you want to wipe all existing data. An alternative to a full reset is to manually delete unwanted keywords and add new ones via Keywords → Add Keywords → Get New Keywords.

How do I add a team member or developer to my account?

Your team member (developer, VA, etc.) needs to create their own free RankPill account first before they can access yours. They should go to rankpill.com and sign up for a free account using 'Sign in with Google' or Magic Link - no payment is needed for this step.

Once they have their own account, you can invite them by going to Settings → Team Members in your RankPill account, clicking 'Add Team Member', entering their email, and sending the invitation link. When they click the invitation link, they'll see your dashboard instead of the pricing page and can help with setup, integration, etc. The team member must have their own RankPill account (free) before the invitation link works - otherwise, the link will redirect them to the pricing page.

Why is my WordPress meta description and focus keyword not getting published?

This usually happens when there's an integration disruption. The meta description should normally publish with the rest of the article, but sometimes WordPress updates can disrupt the integration logic.

To fix this, go to Settings → Integrations → WordPress, disconnect your WordPress integration, and then reconnect it again. This resets the connection and should resolve the publishing issue for meta descriptions and focus keywords.

Why is the REST API response being truncated on my WordPress site?

Your WordPress hosting server is limiting the REST API response size because your site has many active plugins. This is a common hosting configuration issue.

For a quick fix, log into your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, and temporarily deactivate any unused plugins. Then try connecting to RankPill again.

For a permanent solution, contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase the 'output buffer size' to at least 4MB. You can share this with them: "REST API responses are being truncated - please increase the output_buffering PHP setting."

How do I connect WordPress installed in a subdirectory (e.g., /blog)?

Currently, RankPill strips path segments after the domain when connecting to WordPress. If your WordPress is installed at yourdomain.com/blog, the system tries to connect to yourdomain.com/wp-json/ instead of yourdomain.com/blog/wp-json/, which causes the connection to fail.

The workaround is to set up a reverse proxy on your main domain that forwards all /wp-json/* requests to /blog/wp-json/. This way you can enter just yourdomain.com in RankPill and the connection will work. For example, if your WordPress is at getirshelp.com/blog/wp-admin, create a reverse proxy rule that redirects FROM getirshelp.com/wp-json/ TO getirshelp.com/blog/wp-json/*. Native support for WordPress subdirectory installations is being developed.

Will syncing articles to an existing Framer CMS replace my posts?

No, syncing articles to an existing Framer CMS just adds to the collection and doesn't replace your existing posts. Your current content will remain intact.

Getting a 404 error on Webflow articles even though URLs look correct

This usually happens when Webflow hasn't fully updated the published URLs, even if slugs and paths look correct in the editor. Webflow sometimes needs a manual publish trigger to update the URL routing properly.

To fix this, go to your Webflow Designer, make a small change to the affected article or CMS collection, re-publish your site, and clear your browser cache. This should resolve the 404 error and make the article accessible at the correct URL.

Getting error 'Webflow resource not found'

This error means either the collection, site, or resource no longer exists in your Webflow account, or your access token doesn't have the proper permissions to access it.

To fix this, go to Settings → Integrations → Webflow in RankPill, disconnect your Webflow integration, and then reconnect it again. When reconnecting, make sure to grant all necessary permissions, select the correct site, and map all fields properly in the CMS. Your Webflow access token needs the required permissions to read and write to the CMS collection.

Tables in Webflow articles don't display properly

This is a Webflow CSS styling issue. Webflow doesn't automatically style HTML tables from CMS content, so you need to add custom CSS to make them display properly.

To fix this, go to your Webflow blog page or template settings, find the Custom Code section, add table styling CSS within <style> tags, and publish your site. The necessary table styling CSS code is provided in the Webflow documentation under the "Fixing Table Styling Issues" section. Copy and paste that CSS code into your Webflow custom code.

Switched from Framer to Webflow - articles won't publish

When switching from one platform to another, the integration needs to be reset because it's still configured for the old platform.

Contact support and let them know you switched platforms. The integration will be reset on the backend. Then disconnect any old integrations in RankPill, connect your new Webflow integration following the setup guide, and map all fields properly. Important: Once you map fields in Webflow, don't delete any mapped fields in your Webflow CMS. Deleting mapped fields will break the integration.

Articles are in my Wix backend but not showing on my website

If articles are successfully published to Wix but not visible on your website, this is a Wix website settings issue, not a RankPill issue. Common causes include pages not correctly nested in your site structure, articles set to private or hidden, or theme/page display rules preventing posts from displaying.

To fix this, log into Wix, go to Blog → Manage Posts, and verify articles are there and set to 'Published'. Then check your blog page settings and theme configuration. If needed, contact Wix support for help with site structure. RankPill successfully delivered the articles to your Wix backend - display issues are controlled by your Wix website settings.

Can I connect to my existing Framer blog collection?

Unfortunately, no. Due to how Framer's plugin system works, RankPill must create a new CMS collection. This is a Framer platform limitation, not a RankPill limitation.

There are several workarounds: You can make the RankPill collection your main blog and replace your existing blog collection with it on your website display. Or use it as a separate section and call it 'News' or 'Articles' instead of 'Blog', keeping your existing blog for other content. You can also keep your current blog design and layout and just change the CMS source to the RankPill collection - the database is just for getting data and doesn't affect the structure or design. Your existing components and styling will work fine.

Framer integration not syncing or showing errors

If your Framer integration isn't syncing properly, start by generating a fresh API key. Go to Settings → Integrations → Framer in RankPill, disconnect the integration, generate a new API key, and copy it. Then go to your Framer project, remove the old RankPill plugin, add it back with the fresh API key, and click Sync.

If this still doesn't work, try a clean slate approach: disconnect the integration in both RankPill and Framer, delete the RankPill CMS collection from your Framer website, reconnect the integration, and let it sync to create a fresh collection. Contact support if the issue persists. The Framer integration is stable and used by many customers - most issues resolve with a fresh reconnection.

Framer articles don't auto-publish - I have to manually sync

Unfortunately, this cannot be automated. Framer's manual sync requirement is a platform limitation, not a RankPill issue.

Here's how the Framer integration works: RankPill syncs articles to your Framer CMS collection and they appear in your CMS immediately. However, you must manually click 'Sync' in the Framer plugin to display them on your website. This is due to how Framer's plugin system works - Framer's platform doesn't allow third-party plugins to trigger automatic site publishes as a security and architecture decision. After syncing, remember to update the article status to 'Published' in RankPill to help you track which articles are live.

How do I use webhooks with PrestaShop or other custom platforms?

Webhooks allow you to connect RankPill to any website or service, including PrestaShop. To set this up, go to Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, configure your webhook URL and secret, and check the documentation at Webhooks guide.

You'll need technical knowledge (or a developer) to create an endpoint to receive webhook data from RankPill, parse the JSON payload (includes article title, content, meta description, images, etc.), and insert the article into your CMS database. The webhook documentation includes PHP code examples, and you can use tools like Zapier or Make.com for easier automation without coding. Webhooks require technical setup on your website's side - RankPill provides the data structure and examples, but implementation needs to be done by your development team.

Where is the 'Update Article' button for webhooks?

The 'Update Article' button appears in the article editor's right sidebar, but only after specific conditions are met. First, you need to connect your webhook by going to Settings → Integrations → Webhooks and configuring your webhook URL and secret. Then publish the article initially by clicking the 'Publish' button in the sidebar - this sends the article to your webhook for the first time.

Once published, the 'Publish' button changes to 'Update Article' for future edits. To update an article, open your published article from the dashboard, make your edits in the editor (content auto-saves as you type), and click 'Update Article' in the right sidebar. This sends the updated content to your webhook endpoint with is_republish: true.

Can I integrate with Lovable.dev?

There's no direct integration with Lovable at the moment. You can connect using the webhook integration (see the Webhooks guide), though this requires technical setup. Alternatively, you can publish articles manually by copying them from RankPill editor and pasting into your Lovable site (see the Copy Article guide).

My website is built in plain HTML. Can I use webhooks?

Yes, but you'll need technical or development help to make it work. RankPill sends article data (JSON payload) to your endpoint, and your backend needs to receive the data, save it (in a database, files, CMS, etc.), and display it on your website.

If you don't have a developer or backend system, consider switching to a platform with direct integration (WordPress, Webflow, etc.) or use manual copy/paste which is simpler but not automated. Webhooks are powerful but require technical implementation on your end - see documentation for code examples.

Getting an error when testing Shopify connection

Follow the step-by-step Shopify integration video guide at Shopify guide. Common mistakes include not granting all necessary permissions when installing the RankPill app, selecting the wrong blog in Shopify (if you have multiple), or not completing all setup steps.

To reconnect, go to Settings → Integrations → Shopify in RankPill, disconnect the integration, watch the video guide again, follow each step carefully, and make sure to grant all permissions when installing. If still having issues, contact support with the specific error message, screenshots, and your Shopify store URL.

Webhook test successful but articles don't appear on website

If the webhook test is successful but actual articles aren't appearing on your website, the issue is likely with your webhook implementation, not RankPill.

Check your endpoint logs to verify your endpoint is receiving the article data and look for any errors in processing the payload. Note that test payloads include test: true while real articles don't, so make sure your code handles both test and real article data. Verify your endpoint URL is correct and check if data is being received and processed properly. The webhook successfully sends data from RankPill - if it's not showing on your site, the issue is in how your website processes or displays the data.

How do I change my billing name in Stripe?

You can change your billing name directly through Stripe's customer portal. Go to Settings → Billing and click 'Manage Billing' to update your billing information.

If you don't see the option to edit the billing name, contact support as this feature may need to be enabled on the backend. This is a vendor setting that may need to be activated.

My articles are too vague and mention competitors more than my brand

You have several options to make your content more brand-focused. You can turn off competitor mentions in Settings (though this isn't recommended), or better yet, add custom instructions to your article generation settings to ensure content is sharp and aligned with your brand.

The reason articles mention competitors depends on the keywords and types of articles ranking on Google. For example, a listicle about 'the best solution' is likely to mention multiple products or services because that's what people are searching for. These types of articles have the best chance of getting traffic. The best practice is to get traffic first with comprehensive content, then once the article starts ranking, you can make your offers more prominent at the top for a smoother conversion funnel.

My AI-generated images look too similar - how can I improve variety?

Each article generates unique image descriptions, but you can customize the style for more variety. Go to Settings → Generation → Images Style and define your own custom image style instructions, then save changes. This will give you more control over the visual style and variety of generated images.

Also make sure your blog URL in Settings → Business matches your actual blog URL, as mismatches can cause other issues with article generation.

How do I delete a published article I don't want?

You can delete published articles directly from your website's CMS or admin panel. For WordPress, go to Posts → All Posts, find the article, and delete it. For Webflow, go to your CMS Collections, find the article, and delete it. For Shopify, go to Blog Posts. For Wix, go to Blog Manager. RankPill publishes to your site, so deletion happens on your website platform, not within RankPill.

RankPill embedded a YouTube video in the wrong language

This is a rare issue that can happen when a video has a misleading title or description in one language but the actual content is in another language, while being popular on YouTube.

To fix it immediately, open the article in RankPill's editor, click on the wrong video to select it, delete it, paste the URL of a correct video in its place, and click 'Update Article' to save and republish. The AI selected a popular video that appeared legitimate based on its title, but the actual video content was in a different language. Video sizing on your website can be adjusted using CSS in your website's theme settings - RankPill sends the video embed without specific size constraints.

I unscheduled an article - where did it go?

Unscheduled articles are not deleted. They're moved to your Generated articles section. Go to Keywords → Generated and you'll see all your generated articles there. Click 'View Article' to access any article.

You can edit unscheduled articles anytime, republish them, schedule them for a different day, or use the AI editor to improve them. Articles you generate are never automatically deleted - they remain in your account for future use, even if you unschedule them from the calendar.

Can I use different image styles in one article?

No, you can only choose one image style per account. Go to Settings → Generation → Image Style and choose one style that applies to all articles (options: Photography, Illustration, Infographic, etc.). Consistent visual style across all articles creates better brand cohesion and is easier to manage.

As a workaround, you can manually add different types of images to articles using the editor. Type "/" in the editor, select "Image", and upload your own images or choose from Unsplash. You can mix AI-generated images with your custom ones this way.

Can I publish to WordPress as drafts for review?

Direct draft publishing to WordPress isn't available, but there are two review workflows you can use.

The recommended approach is to review articles in RankPill before publishing. Turn OFF 'Auto-Publishing' in Settings → Automation but keep 'Auto-Generation' ON. Articles will generate daily but stay in RankPill where you can review and edit them (this acts as your draft). When you're ready, click 'Publish' to send them to WordPress. Alternatively, you can leave auto-publishing ON to let articles publish automatically to WordPress, then open them in RankPill to make any edits you need, and click 'Update Article' to push the changes to WordPress.

I canceled during trial but still being charged - why?

This can happen due to a timing issue with Stripe when cancellation occurs right after the first billing.

Contact support immediately and the subscription will be manually canceled and a refund will be issued if you were charged incorrectly. To verify cancellation status, go to Settings → Billing and check if it shows 'Active' or 'Cancelled'. If it still shows 'Active' even though you clicked cancel, there may be a Stripe synchronization bug. No further charges should occur once the cancellation is manually processed.

I need to migrate from agency plan to regular plan

Due to legacy configurations, you'll need to create a new business subscription. Create a new business (select 'New Business', not your previous business), don't complete the full onboarding, and then contact support with your business name and email. Your old business data and settings will be attached to the new subscription.

A new multi-website subscription feature is being developed that will allow you to add multiple websites to one subscription, increase or decrease website slots as needed, and get volume discounts. This will replace the agency plan and make it easier to manage multiple sites.

My blog posts are not publishing automatically

Check these common causes: First, go to Settings → Integrations and verify your integration is connected and active. Make sure auto-publish is enabled in your article settings. Ensure your integration has proper permissions to publish (not just read). If you recently updated your website or CMS, you may need to reconnect the integration.

If the issue persists after checking these, contact support with your business name, which platform you're using (WordPress, Webflow, etc.), and any error messages you're seeing.

Can RankPill create hyperlinks to my products in articles?

Yes, RankPill has two features for promoting your products or services in articles. First, you can enable Auto-Promotion in Settings → Generation → Promotion. When turned on, RankPill will naturally promote your business or products throughout the articles, intelligently weaving in your offerings where relevant.

Second, you can create Call-to-Actions (CTAs) in Settings → Generation → CTAs. Create up to 10 different CTAs that appear at the end of articles. Based on the article topic, RankPill selects the most fitting CTA to direct readers to specific products, services, contact pages, etc.

Can RankPill automatically assign tags to published articles?

No, RankPill doesn't automatically assign tags. RankPill publishes articles to your dedicated blog or CMS space and includes title, content, meta description, images, focus keyword, etc., but tags need to be assigned manually on your website's CMS or admin panel after publishing.

WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, etc. all have tag management in their admin panels. Manual tagging is used because tag structures vary significantly between platforms and industries, giving you full control over your content organization.

Can I backdate articles for missed days?

Yes, there are ways to catch up on missed days. For self-service, go to Keywords → Queued Keywords, add the keywords you want to schedule, and drag them to past dates on the calendar if available. They'll generate automatically.

If you need help, contact support with which dates you missed and how many articles you need backdated. Articles can be manually triggered for multiple dates. This doesn't use extra credits - you're just using your allocated daily articles.

How do I add more images throughout an article?

You can easily add more images, embeds, or other content blocks using the article editor. Open the article in the editor, click in a new line where you want to add content, and type "/" (forward slash). A menu will appear with all available content blocks - select what you need: Image, Embed, Code Block, Quote, etc. This works for adding images, videos, tables, quotes, and more throughout your article.

Can RankPill set WordPress categories for blog posts?

No, RankPill doesn't automatically assign WordPress categories. Categories don't significantly improve traffic, and according to SEO best practices, it's recommended to publish all articles on a single platform (e.g., domain.com/blog). Categories can sometimes cause additional SEO problems.

If you want to add structure, you can publish all articles to your main blog page and add tags manually weekly or monthly in WordPress. This gives your blog structure without the SEO downsides of categories. For optimal results, you can skip categories and tags altogether and focus on consistent publishing.

I have two different audiences (B2B and B2C) - can I create separate content?

Yes, but for completely different strategies you'll need separate accounts. However, you can also use per-article custom instructions with one account.

For separate accounts (recommended for very different audiences), create two RankPill subscriptions, publish to two separate blog sections on your website, and each has its own keyword list, tone, and custom instructions. Alternatively, with one account, add all keywords for both audiences, go to Calendar → Click on a queued keyword → Settings icon, and add custom instructions specific to that article. For example: "Write for restaurant owners, focus on management and costs" vs "Write for job candidates, focus on career growth". Per-article instructions override global settings, giving you granular control.

Can I bulk delete keywords or old articles?

Partial bulk deletion is available for keywords, but with limitations. Go to the Keywords page, click 'Bulk Delete' button, and select keywords you want to remove. However, you can only delete keywords that don't have generated articles. Keywords from onboarding cannot be removed from your list - you can ignore them by not scheduling them and fill your calendar with new keywords instead.

For deleting old articles, there's no built-in bulk delete in RankPill. Contact support if you need to delete many articles before a specific date. Deleting articles also removes their keywords, making them reusable. This is useful when switching websites, changing business focus, or cleaning up after testing.

Keyword research gets stuck at 70% or times out

This usually happens when you add too many broad seed keywords at once, which returns thousands of results and causes a timeout. When broad keywords return 10,000+ results, the system filters, checks, and processes all those results, which can cause timeouts.

To prevent this, add fewer seed keywords per request - try 1-3 keywords instead of 5 or more. Also use more specific or niche keywords rather than very broad ones. If you lost keyword research credits due to this error, contact support and the credits can be added back to your account. Remember: quality over quantity!

Non-English articles have spelling errors or wrong capitalization

Language quality can vary for non-English languages. For capitalization issues - note that in English, capitalizing each word in headings (Title Case) is standard SEO practice, but languages like German and Finnish have different capitalization rules.

For spelling or grammar errors, you can use the article editor to manually correct them. You can also add custom instructions in Settings → Generation to specify language-specific rules. Consider using AI editing tools like Grammarly (for your language) to review articles before publishing. The best practice is to review your first few articles carefully, note common errors, and add custom instructions to prevent them in future articles.

Competitors have English homepages but German content - will this mix up keywords?

Yes, this can cause keyword lists to get mixed up with English keywords when you only want keywords in your target language.

To fix this, review your initial keyword list and delete any keywords that contain English words. Keep only keywords in your target language (e.g., only German). Then go to Keywords → Add Keywords → Get New Keywords, write seed keywords in your target language, and this will generate new keywords only in your desired language. When adding competitors during onboarding, try to choose competitors whose homepages are in your target language to avoid this issue.

What's the proper blog URL structure for SEO?

Your blog articles should be published under a dedicated blog path, not directly under your root domain. Recommended URL structures are: https://yourdomain.com/blog/article-slug, https://yourdomain.com/news/article-slug, or https://yourdomain.com/articles/article-slug. Publishing directly under your root domain like https://yourdomain.com/article-slug is not recommended.

Publishing articles directly under your root domain (without /blog or similar) makes it harder for Google to properly scan and categorize your website, which can hurt your SEO performance. To set this up correctly, go to Settings → Business in RankPill and set your Blog URL correctly (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/blog). Make sure your WordPress or CMS is configured to publish to this path. Contact your website developer or hosting provider if you need help configuring your blog's permalink structure.

Do I have to pay for each keyword separately?

No, keyword research is included in your subscription at no extra charge. During onboarding, an initial keyword list is created based on your competitors. Then each month, you get 30 keyword research requests, with each request able to analyze up to 1000 keywords. This means you can analyze up to 30,000 keywords monthly with no additional cost per keyword.

How do I swap or rearrange articles in the calendar?

The calendar works with a drag-and-drop system, but there's an important rule: you can only move a keyword into an empty spot.

For drag and drop, drag one keyword to a future day to free up a slot, then drag the keyword you want into that now-empty space. Repeat as needed. Alternatively, go to Keywords → Queued Keywords, click 'Remove from Calendar' on keywords you want to reschedule, then select which keywords to add back and they'll automatically fill empty days. Some keywords might sound unnatural but have much higher search volume - for example, 'second brain notion' gets significantly more searches than 'notion second brain' even though the second feels more natural.

Can I create multiple articles for the same keyword?

No, you should create one article per keyword as this is considered SEO best practice. Creating multiple articles for the same keyword causes keyword cannibalization - search engines get confused about which article to rank, which can hurt your overall SEO performance.

The better strategy is to focus on different keywords to cover more search queries. When you run out of keywords, go to Keywords → Add Keywords and enter a few seed phrases to generate more keyword ideas.

I ran out of keyword research requests - how do I get more?

Keyword research requests reset monthly based on your subscription. The monthly plan includes 30 keyword research requests per month, with each request able to analyze up to 1000 keywords (total capacity: 30,000 keywords per month). Requests reset on your billing renewal date.

If you run out mid-month, you'll need to wait until your next billing cycle when requests reset. If you just started and see this error immediately, it might be a system issue - contact support. To maximize requests, be strategic with seed keywords, review and select the best keywords before adding more, and focus on quality over quantity.

How do I target higher buyer-intent keywords?

To attract more qualified leads with buying intent, you need to shift your keyword strategy. Go to Keywords → Add Keywords → Get New Keywords and enter specific buyer-intent seed keywords like '[Your service] agency', '[Your service] services', 'Best [your service] provider', '[Your niche] consultant', '[Your niche] solution'.

For example, for a B2B agency, instead of using 'how to do demand generation' (DIY intent), use 'b2b demand generation agency', 'demand generation services', 'saas lead generation agency'. Remove broad, informational keywords from your calendar and replace them with more niched, service-focused keywords. These have lower competition and attract qualified buyers. Include these keywords on your homepage and service pages too. The trade-off: higher-intent keywords mean fewer visits but higher-quality conversations and conversions, which is often better than high traffic with low conversion.

Can I add more competitors after onboarding?

No, competitors are only used during initial onboarding to create your first keyword list. After onboarding, you can't add new competitors to automatically generate keywords.

However, you can manually add keywords from your competitors. Go to your competitor's website and identify keywords they're ranking for (use tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or check their content). Then go to Keywords → Add Keywords in RankPill and enter those keywords manually, or use 'Get New Keywords' and enter seed keywords based on competitor topics. The competitor analysis is resource-intensive and meant to give you a starting point - after that, you have full control over your keyword strategy.

Where do I find my sitemap URL?

Your sitemap URL is typically automatically generated by your website platform. The standard sitemap URL format is https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. To verify, try visiting this URL in your browser - if you see XML data, that's your sitemap. If you get a 404 error, your sitemap might not be generated yet.

For platform-specific locations: WordPress is usually at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml (or use Yoast SEO plugin), Webflow auto-generates at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, Shopify is at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, and Wix auto-generates sitemaps. Unbounce does not support sitemaps (not ideal for SEO/blogs). If you can't find it, check your website platform's documentation or contact your website developer.

Can I use RankPill with Unbounce?

Unbounce is not recommended for blogs or organic SEO. It's built for landing pages, not content publishing. It doesn't support sitemaps (critical for SEO), has no proper blog structure, and won't get strong search-traffic performance.

Consider switching to a platform better suited for blogging and SEO: WordPress (best for blogs), Webflow (great design + SEO), Framer (modern, fast), Shopify (if you have an e-commerce store), or Wix (easy to use). You can keep your Unbounce landing pages but host your blog on a subdomain (blog.yourdomain.com) using one of the recommended platforms.

My blog URL shows with 'www' but RankPill shows it without (or vice versa)

This is a simple settings mismatch. Your website uses one format, but RankPill is configured for another.

Go to Settings → Business in RankPill and update your Blog URL to match exactly how it appears on your website. Include 'www' if your site uses it (https://www.yourdomain.com/blog) or exclude 'www' if your site doesn't use it (https://yourdomain.com/blog). Save changes. The URL in RankPill settings must match your actual website URL exactly for articles to publish to the correct location.

How do I add keywords? I can't find the save button

There are two ways to add keywords. For adding your own keywords, go to Keywords → Add Keywords, toggle to 'Add Your Own Keywords', type keywords separated by commas (e.g., 'keyword1, keyword2, keyword3'), and click the black button to submit.

For getting new keywords (recommended), go to Keywords → Add Keywords, toggle to 'Get New Keywords', enter a few seed keywords (comma-separated), and click the black button. RankPill will find related keywords with SEO data (volume, difficulty, etc.). Select which keywords you want to add and click the button to add selected keywords to your calendar. Each option has a black submit or action button - look for it after entering your keywords.

How do I measure results from RankPill?

To track your SEO performance and traffic results, set up Google Search Console and Google Analytics (both free tools from Google).

Google Search Console shows which keywords you're ranking for, click-through rates, impressions, positions, and helps identify which articles are getting discovered by Google. Google Analytics shows traffic, user behavior, conversions, and can track both Google and ChatGPT traffic so you can see which articles are performing best. To set up these tools, create accounts at google.com/analytics and search.google.com/search-console, add the tracking codes to your website, and wait 1-2 weeks for data to start showing. When measuring results, wait at least 4-8 weeks before judging performance since SEO takes time to show results.

Onboarding completed but no keywords were generated

If onboarding finished but you have no keywords, you can add them manually to start testing. Go to Keywords → Add Keywords → Get New Keywords, enter 2-3 seed keywords that describe your business, click the black button to generate keywords, and select the keywords you want to add to your calendar.

For trial users, this workaround lets you test the tool immediately. If you decide to continue with RankPill after the trial, contact support to manually restart your onboarding to generate a full keyword list properly. If you need help choosing seed keywords, think about your main products or services you offer, what your customers search for, and your industry or niche terms.

My onboarding shows failed - what should I do?

If your onboarding shows a failed status, this is typically a technical issue that the support team can resolve quickly. This might be due to a temporary system error or a configuration issue during the onboarding process.

Please contact support at hello@rankpill.com with details about when the failure occurred. The team will investigate the issue and get your account set up properly as soon as possible, usually within a few hours.
